Officially a [Mac] cult member

Slept really badly last night. My body was so sore from pole class and my 11/2 hrs gym session on successive days. I really should have been kinder to myself.

Anyhoo..managed to take the afternoon off to catch up on lost sleep today (Thank you, boss!). Am feeling much rested now. To make things sweeter, hubs returned home with a pressie for me - a brand new Macbook Pro! *woohoo!* It is funny that hubs is even more excited about it than I am! Haha! He is helping me set it up at the moment. Can't wait to fiddle with it soon! =)

Am so glad it's Friday already! It's off to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) this weekend for my friend's engagement! *Woot!* Back on Monday!
Enjoy the weekend, you all! =D

During the [blog] lull period...

...a failed IVF and a very heartbroken colleague. I wish their families didn't have to put her through so much pressure...

... an arranged marriage and a friend who is about to sacrifice all that she has here - a good job and her friends to move to Malaysia to be with a man she hardly knows for the rest of her life. She is scared shitless. Who wouldn't be?

...disappointment. From a friend who never keeps to his word. Why do I even care?

...the possiblity of working out something with HR to fly me back periodically next year to help out with our departments' work processes/ audits. I am not sure how this is going to work. Boss will need to be clear on her expectations of me. We shall see. Some source of income is always good but I think I will be pretty happy bumming as well. Haha.

Alright..gotta get to work. (Yes..on a bright and sunny sunday morning!) Need to prepare my slides for my upcoming workshop! *bleah!*

Samurai Dog



(Kyoto, Japan)

Long weekend! Woohoo!

Am on leave these 2 days. Thought it'd be good to take some time off work to recharge and to clear some clutter from our apartment. Have already got bags of clothes and stuff I hardly use waiting to be transported to the Salvation Army. *Woot!* Will work on my study room tomorrow - time to recycle those journal articles. I will refrain from buying any more clothes, shoes or anything at all from now on. Could certainly do with less stress with the packing next year!
Busy weekend ahead! Got a wedding to attend on Saturday, friends coming over on Sunday and a housewarming party to go to on Monday (which incidentally is a public holiday because it's our National day on Sunday). And for the first time in a long while I'm actually going to watch our National day parade on TV this year. Both my mum and aunty will be participating in a dance segment for the parade so I'll need to keep a lookout for them! :) In addition, pole dancing will be featured in this year's parade. I'll definitely be giving the girls my support! =) Not surprising, it has already created a stir among our very conservative netizens. Oh well...

"As long as there is love, there is hope"



The Love of Siam is an endearing, romantic film with a homosexual theme (but nothing overtly offensive) between two good looking teenage boys. Essentially, the movie centers on family, friendship, love and hope. Watched it at the cinema yesterday and I was teary-eyed most of the time! Well worth a watch so do catch it if you can. In the meantime, enjoy the theme song! =)
