Goodbye, maybe?

Have lost all desire to maintain this (cat) blog, I guess this means goodbye :)

Thank you, and goodbye!

This and that

In my opinion, the time you shouldn’t be blogging is the best time to be blogging. Like now, for instance. I really should be in bed considering my cousin, Y, is getting married tomorrow. My oldest childhood friend, etc etc. But blogging when you shouldn’t is good for two reasons- 1) I’ll try and write it quick meaning 2) it will b succinct.

Print to screen

I’ve heard lots of comments about the Angels and Demons movie. Amongst them, that the director butchered the story. I’ve read the book (more than once), I watched the movie last week, and I liked it! To each his own :)

I love the Harry Potter novels, but I thought the movie installments were meh. But see, that’s probably cos I am close-to-obsessed and want to see all the details.

Print to screen is, I reckon, often disappointing because our imagination is richer. So, if you really really loved the book, don’t watch the movie!

Wedding

Can’t believe Y’s getting married tomorrow. It hasn’t sunk in. Probably won’t, for awhile. Who knew she’d be the first one? Right now, I can’t even imagine myself sitting on the dais, paper fan covering my face.

All I can imagine myself doing is plumping up my pillows, then diving in to bed. I have to wake early tomorrow! :X

Hair

I had my hair cut; I look like a mushroom. Oh why does this always happen to me?

Auntie Stephanie is great (can you tell there’s going to be a ‘but’ somewhere), but I think it’s time to try someplace new. Somewhere where the stylist hasn’t been cutting my hair for the past FOURTEEN YEARS. And my sister’s hair. And my youngest brother’s hair (ya rly). And knows my mum and grandmother. For some reason, although we’ve moved to another estate, we still go back to Clementi Avenue 2 for our haircuts.

I was thinking, after my cousin’s wedding (end May), I should go get a NEW haircut. A non-mushroomy haircut. A completely never-been-done-to-me haircut. That means the Rachel is out. The Bob is out.

The Pixie, perhaps? Like Charis’ hairstyle. Though I doubt I can carry it off…

(A VERRRRRY LONG PS: By the way, I’ve started Twitter-ing again. My UID is Oharlie. Plurk does look good, on a proper screen, plus JY has shifted over to the Plurkside. Too bad Plurk looks like crap on my 7″ Eee PC. Not Plurk’s fault really. I sez iz time for new netbook/laptop/desktop)

Work

I was about to start cutting when I realised… I LEFT MY (only) PAIR OF SCISSORS AT THE CENTRE YESTERDAY MORNING! Ho hum. What a way to start my first day of working from home, eh? So I went downstairs to the friendly neighbourhood uncle stationery shop (every estate needs one), and bought more than planned. Scissors aside I got myself a plastic long ruler (because the one I have at home is metal and rusty {and also cos I know I have it somewhere but I just can’t fathom where right now}), a fancy sharpener, and a felt-tip 0.8 black pen I use for drawing. Afterwhich I ordered teh peng at the coffeeshop, to da bao back home and drink slowly.

Cut and paste, cut and paste, scratch head scratch head, cut and paste. I look up at the clock and it was two! I wonder how I worked through my grumbling tummy. I stopped work and ate some pasta my mum prepared in the morning, while watching TV (Jon and Kate Plus 8, awesome show).

Then I decided to make a phonecall (it was on the list of things I had to do; I wrote this list myself last night). The phonecall should have taken 2 minutes, but WAH it took half-an-hour! Not like it’s a bad thing- I should schedule phonecalls everyday just so I will have a semblance of a social-life-at-work. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

I stopped working at 5.30 cos my eyes were really tired. I went to the room to lie down and at 6 my parents were back home from work. I ate dinner and showed them what I did today.

I am pooped. I think it could be the nature of what I was doing today (cutting, pasting, engineering, focus). I want a backrub.

Ladedah!

No Shape run nevermind; I am still gonna train for a 5km run. 5 kilometres IS great shakes for me, okay!

I am super excited about May and all the things May brings!

Things I will need:

- laptop
- printer-scanner
- a desk
- comfy chair
- desk stationery

The other day I went to one of the ADM studios, and the students’ works are just stellar. I wish I could draw and shade like that!!!

MEH.

Tried many, many, times to sign up for the Shape run online today. Without success. So that sucks.

Happier news in a few days, wait for it!

Running my first 5K in July

Putting this up so I can’t back out now! Shape run lah, who else wants to go?

I like chocolate+mint & chocolate+orange combinations! I like having chocolate in the fridge!

Last night I had pumpkin+mango soup at Food #03 & it was surprisingly good!

The past week I learnt new things about myself, discovered new strengths, and gained new perspectives.

AND, it is amazing how little you need to live on, as discussed with Sari the other day. Make it stretch, everyone!
