d is for detachment and a is for… well, the beginning of the alphabet.

i don’t know what i’m talking about. i’ve just emerged from an arduously trying night but at least i’ve got two things to be thankful for

 

1. my okra seeds have finally germinated

2. season finale of boardwalk empire 2, bitches.

 

whot!

am listening to one of jay chou’s latest output and all i can say is..

WHOT?!?!?

autotuned beyond recognition coupled with cringe-worthy lyrics. a vast difference from the jay chou i used to chase around in a taxi ten years ago, and the first few albums (especially his debut) that i love so much.

of course, musical directions evolve over time, but i’d to believe this negative change is due to pressure – after all, artistes have a record label to answer to and shit like that. i think that maybe he just go on a loooong hiatus and chew on his cud for awhile before coming out with something fresh, instead of churning out inferior music yearly just cos his company tells him to.

and also.. WHAT’S UP with his fashion sense?! dude needs a stylist pronto, or at least he should fire his current one. really, knuckle bruisers and fur jackets?!

collicky collicks

i love my team but OMG stop playing music in the office, you guys! i can’t work with schtuff going on in the background

27/9

i am a confused young woman.

i could be watching boardwalk empire one day and gossip girl the next, or reading virginia woolf on monday and some ancient betty and veronica double digest on tuesday.

 

travel

i know i have an irrational fear of flying that almost only begins once i’m seated on the plane, but damn how bad is this wanderlust of mine (just like the rest, i guess)?

i’ve been to quite a few cities, and now i’ve only got paris and say, melbourne to tick off the list. my favourite city so far? oddly enough, i really liked mumbai, though perhaps new york may just replace that if i had more time to explore the place. i thought i’d like london, but the first impression wasn’t a great one. okay then, i’ll grant both places another chance before i concur.

also, i would love to visit the other parts of the U.K  (hey ireland!) soon.

and manchester.

and shanghai?

but first things first… pulau ubin after three years worth or more of procrastination.

 

14/9

3 years, 2 of us and 1 meatball-related fight later,  we’re still here and very much in love.

can’t wait to move into this place we’ll be calling home in a few years time.

love ya, XLB!

why my bf rocks

him: maybe i should get a bachelor’s degree in business admin.

me: why?

him: it’s like a woman’s little black dress… you can’t go wrong with it.

me: uh..

him: like you can accessorise it however you want, man.

i’m dating a straight man who talks like a gay sister. ROCK ON!

1/9

today i had an awesome writing streak – the first in quite a long while. i milked it for all i could and managed to finish half of my 4 page feature before slumping half-dead onto my chair. 1,000+ words in 30 mins? that’s a lot of brain power, yo.

sadly, that knocked the wind out of me and now,  i am ready to call it a night tho’ its barely 10pm.

i know i shouldn’t say this considering i’ve been traveling quite a fair bit the past few months, but i really need a break – a real work-free break that isn’t in a city, where i can vegetate under a huge beach brolly in a super quiet strip of sand and sea with a glass of riesling/whisky and a book.

three days. that’s all i’ll require.

no, make that just two.
