2008/6/18 Halfway to the finishing lineThat's right boys and girls....
It's that time of the year again....
Yesterday marks the day when exactly half the year has passed you by. It was exactly the middle of the month and the middle month of the year.
There's only half of 2008 left to go.
So if you haven't done anything you're proud of, it's time to pull up your socks.
Don't let the rest of the year slip through your fingers just like that.
I do this every year and I don't see why things should be any different this year.
Yesterday was also Garfield's birthday! So let's all give a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY shoutout to that fat orange cat!
Or should I say, Happy BELATED Birthday since I am afterall one day late.
So to my dear friend who celebrates his birthday on the same day as Garfield, please close an eye and let this go.
I know I'm a day late but blame jet lag for this.
I got lost in the lalaland of timezones.
But I wish you the biggest and best birthday and much joy and happiness to last you a whole lifelong.

p/s: you're not old.... it's gonna be many long years before we celebrate you being over the hill *grin* 2008/6/16 The Weekendtummyache (v) tum-meee-egg the result of stuffing your belly with more food than it can handle.
I consumed too much junk over the weekend, now my stomach has expanded to twice its size.
It's most probably also able to withhold twice of what it used to as well.
This is not good at all.
Friday was lunch at Burger King followed by shopping with Kirsten.
Then dinner at Waraku with Laurette followed by (one too many) drinks at Helipad and a friend's bar. 
Saturday was dinner with the cousins at Vivocity and a drink at Harry's after.
 Sunday was a little more crazy.
After a very late lunch at Carl's Jr at Big Splash, we had coffee, tea, miloand more at Toast Box at Plaza Singapura.
We then headed to Tammy's house and had home cooked noodles for dinner.
And all of that was nicely finished off with Ben n Jerry's Dublin Mudslide and Cherry Garcia ice cream. *burrrrrrppppppppp*
 I have never felt fatter.
I am thoroughly convinced I look like a cow now.
It's time to go back to Dubai and begin my diet because I am sure that I'm gonna burst some seams on my uniform.
Tomorrow it's Movie Monday with Mummy.
2008/6/13 I've got the munchiesIt's been a long while.
Although we haven't had a real meaningful relationship, you know I always have a thing for you...
I've been missing you...
My dear Hong Kong Cafe!!
Whoopppeeee... tonite I headed to Hong Kong Cafe at Siglap for proper noodles.
Noodles which I have been craving for so long.
Places like these should open up in Dubai.
I loveeeeeeeee my noods.
 Melissa's ramen
I'm getting hungry just thinking about the dinner I had. I am a NOODLE lover. No, no... I am an ASIAN food lover!! Yawn.... insomnia again. How am I supposed to do some crazy shopping tomorrow with Kirsten if I can't sleep?? Plus I'm meeting Laurette for dinner in the evening and we're gonna have Japanese food washed down with sake. Oh, and like clubbers with (plenty of ) style, our names are already on the guestlist of the club Helipad. ******************
At the end of the day, I chose to wear the cross. This is how much you mean to me.
2008/6/8 Weighing the options
Last night, as I got dressed to head out for dinner with Irene at Scarlett's I suddenly had a shocking revelation.
No, actually it was more like, just a shock.
As I slipped into my favourite pair of skinny jeans and zipped up, I thought I felt the fabric wrap itself around my thighs a little more snuggly than usual.
Noooooo....
Is this my imagination?
Self denying thoughts started to flood my mind to console myself.
... Perhaps I haven't worn this pair of jeans since I last washed them (although I must say this is rather unlikely).
... Or perhaps I just haven't worn this pair of jeans for a long time and really, this is how they actually feel.
... Or maybe, just maybe, the heat in Dubai has made the molecules in my thighs expand faster than the denim in my jeans!
Actually, the truth is I was probably just over-reacting in a bid to buy a new pair of jeans.
But HELLOOOOO to squats and lunges in any case.
I just did a turnaround flight to Damascus and this Japanese crew on my flight was telling me that she just returned from a Singapore flight and the sale has started.
I know, I know *rubs hands together with glee*.
Apparently, there's a 30% discount at Kate Spade!! 
Boys and girls, make room in your wardrobe for more bags!!
2008/6/7 ThankGodItsFridayTGIF people!!
It's Friday, time to get out there and party.
Since the boyfriend is away for the weekend with his friends, I decided to get away from the house and hit the shops!
It was all very genuine- I needed to do some shopping in order to get Kirsten a belated birthday gift before I return to Singapore for my hols.
But of course, I broke the bank and bought myself a dress!
Another dress that I definitely do not need.
But there it was, hanging on the racks at Bershka, beaming (in all it's blue-ness) to me like a beacon of hope.
So you see, I tried it, liked it and had to buy it.
Do NOT judge me because I am uncontrollable.
So there I was this afternoon, shopping the day away at the mall that's next to the beach.
Suddenly I stopped to look around me.
All around me were these women in their newly bronzed (by the 40 degrees Dubai sun) skin.
Glowing with the lingering scent of coconut from their Hawaiian Tropic.
And there I was, walking around unashamed in my spaghetti strap top and barely there mini skirt, looking whiter than a piece of Kleenex!
I was horrified!
In a city where summer is longer than the never-ending Sheikh Zayed Road that stretches all the way to Abu Dhabi, every resident is or has somehow or rather converted into a sun worshipper.
Don't get me wrong, I used to be that bronzed golden goddess as well.
I loved the sun, sand and sea... oh and the lingering scent of coconut from my Banana Boat/ Nivea/ Hawaiian Tropic too.
However, my mind has now been brainwashed by the beauty sections of Cleo/ MarieClaire/ Cosmopolitan which states repeatedly that the sun is bad for your skin.
Now who wants premature aging?!
Not me!
Therefore, repeat after me "SPF is your best friend".
I have now embraced the Asian mentality of "fair is beautiful".
Who cares if I'm walking around looking fairer than Casper the Ghost?
I'm not gonna be the one sitting on a chair in Dr. Woffles Wu's office at the age of 30 getting silicon fillers for my wrinkles!
And in embracing the whole being an Asian thing (which really will just be a passing phase), I have decided to colour my hair BLACK.
In the last 12 months, I have gone from being a redhead to a brunette, and now it will be just black.
But guess what.
The deed has been done and ME NO LIKEY.
Perhaps it just takes a bit of getting used to, considering I haven't seen my hair colour this dark since the dinosaurs have disappeared from the face of this earth.
But for now... I'm thinking eeeewwww *cringe*... I look very CHINESE.
Ok off to dinner now.
Yikes, I'm gonna be so late!
2008/6/4 Home ComingWhile waiting for my nail polish to dry, I decided it's about time to spruce up this space I contribute some thoughts. This once regularly updated space is now left to collect dust, mould and mildew. Quite like that neglected area under your bathroom sink.
And so everyone wonders, what has happened? Where have I been?
Have I flushed all inspiration to write down the toilet? Or has my social life hit a blank wall, thus leaving me nothng exciting to write about. Or did I accidentally sneaked into the NASA space shuttle to Mars (just to confirm if men are really from Mars)?
Well, well... the answer is neither.
Right... I honestly have better things to think about than things like that!
Today I got to thinking about going back to Singapore next week. I seldom get excited about going home but it's been close to two months that I haven't breathed in the air back home. Ok, I confess, what's making my heart beat a little faster is the Great Singapore Sale. Being the self-confessed shopaholic, I am all ready to hit the malls in Orchard Road and give my plastic card a workout. Let's see, should I make a shopping list? Hmm... Oh my, I definitely do not need anymore clothes/ bags/ shoes/ accessories/ makeup but you know how the saying goes- "the more the merrier"? That saying applies to everything in life doesn't it? Everything! Haha...
And of course, I have been warned. I will be put under the mahjong light and interrogated by the Seets.
Oooohhhhh guys you got my knees wobbly and giving me butterflies in my stomach.
As if!
So come and get me dooo dee doo dee doooo *sings*....
Oh, my nail polish has dried and I don't like it.
Women are such fickle minded creatures aren't they?
