friday!

phew. it's finally friday! not that my work is very strenuous, but when you have to go phone number hunting for people like anwar and mahathir - wow. international calling codes CAN be pretty infuriating.

then i have to make contact with various experts of the avian flu - a senior adviser of WHO for example, some directors/professors/doctors all based in various parts of indonesia. i have to speak with their organisations, flounder through with rudimentary bahasa...

then there may be times when people are just having lunch. and by the time they're done with lunch, i find out they don't speak english......


but it's fun. in fact, i get a buzz over the idea that i'm brushing metaphorical shoulders with these bigwigs. well. with their assistants, anyway. i don't know if it's a "high-flying job" as someone calls it, but it sure is fun!

haircut

i cut my hair yesterday! :D

it's nice, kinda cute. there is this stubborn curl on the left side of my face though, that ..i don't know, hmm. but it's a nice kinda hairstyle. i like it!


there. happy birthday to me. -smiles at self, with self-

me birfday!

happy birfday to me,
happy birfday to me!
happy birfday, happy birfday - happy biiiirfday, to me!

:D


it's been a wonderful wonderful day. thank you all for making it so!

taking stock

^^ i've done well.

new phase!

wow, hey. it's a new phase in life.

i eradicated my phone inbox and outbox and felt much better! now, as is the custom, i will close the blogs and start on a new one. hmm.

wait. why can't i see myself through the troughs and continue to enjoy my blogs?


life does not end on a low note now, does it. if it did i would've been dead many times over haha

anyhoos. it's time to set the water heater for a nice, LONG, warm bath. last night was damn warm! i know, i know: eee.

fever!

i'm ill again. it's quite sad.

*urg

i ate too much, too late.

but then it was gooood. that was my second meal of the day and i loved every bite of it. now, all i need is water...

treating myself well

last night i didn't sleep and today i felt (and probably looked) like a dried-out coconut husk you would find awash on beaches...

but i treated myself to some mental stimulation (gaming) then had a nice hot bubble bath, followed by a facial and hair mask. it felt so good it's almost like i was reborn.

..of course, that might just be my skin finally being able to see the light of day after the dead skin cells have been sloughed off. :P


anyhoos. i woke to this horrible dream this morning... it would seem that i was this rich girl living in a swanky part of town overseas. i know it was a penthouse... and i woke (yes i woke in my dream) to news that left me disconsolately heartbroken. and i knew i cried, i cried till the only anchor i had was the marbled ground i fell on, cause it was only through gravity and the coldness of the floor that i had a point of reference.

almost like i was a child throwing a howling fit, only i wasn't.


then i woke, dry sobbing.. and the sun was bloody in my eyes.

HERE is the formula for skinny-jeans legs.

valentine's

today i got my valentine's gift - it's a lovely fuzzy yellow bear holding a bouquoet of pink paper flowers - the kind of bear that makes you go "awwww".. it's lovely! : )

well, maybe i'll enjoy valentine's, after all.

strange thrash

this is about anorexia.

funny stuff

breeeeeathe

..and this is what i found: buteyko.

i think it might help me, in more ways than one.

here's more know-how.

wah lao

repercussions.

see lah. last night never sleep lah. today kena jialat jialat. i think i'm falling sick.

f*.

then again, lady in the water was a good show and the sound system and projector was good stuff, so no regrets over this one.


..plus a shoulder to cry on in the morning - there's nothing i can - nor should - complain about.

i have to agree!

I Will Survive

documentary: tamed, by the balls

landlady

i think i now know why my landlady turns up the telly volume to "deafening" - it's to keep the silence at the peripherals of her being.

i guess i understand now.

The Knut i wish i had

haha

do you think our kid'll be this cute? i wonder if you'd wondered about that..

Funny Tennis

I Will Survive - Aliensong

something that made me smile again. maybe it'll make you smile, too.

the scent of your kisses still stain my lips
the warmth of your skin just yesterday's wisp
the presence of you still fresh in my arms
the weight of your being ..


too much sentimental poetry. makes it harder. i should stop.

..but let me just hold on to the scent of you a little longer, before i have to wash it away.

oh, oh!

oh yah! forgot to mention that i managed to get myself an item off the list of items that i was planning to get. :) :)

am happy. ^^

a little ragged 'round the edges

hm, i'd been a little tired lately for some reason. it might be the way i sleep, or it might be my hours... i'm thinking it might be the hours more than anything else, but oh good golly. i wish i felt rested!
