Swimming Cat

I'm back from the pool.
I swam but only 10 laps. The good thing is I didn't eat my strawberry sponge cake with peanut on the side, yet. I'm still glad I went swimming because I'm feeling good.
I'm so gonna swim again on Thursday.

Most of all, I'M SO GONNA EAT MY STRAWBERRY SPONGE CAKE WITH PEANUT ON THE SIDE NOW!

PMS Nightmare

I woke up from a nightmare crying out loud this morning. What a great way to start my day.
Thankfully the weather is cool today so today's not too bad actually. duh.....

Yesterday's shoot was fun. We went to a few good locations. Last location was at Sentosa beach area and we must have spotted 6 other couple shooting their wedding photos. I didn't know so many people are getting married.

I found my wedding gown last evening. I mean I found something I like to wear for my wedding cocktail. I even found a dress I'm so gonna wear during my pregnancy. Nope I wasn't looking for any of "those", just happen to pass by "those" shops and spotted something. Nope, my wedding bells are not ringing yet and I'm not pregnant. Duh.. Why am I even explaining?

Anyway....

Brob will be back on 22nd December! So is MAL !! Missed them both sooo much!!
My former classmate will be coming to this part of the world for the very first time during christmas. Yaay!!

Still, I am not in a good mood.... I've decided I'm so gonna swim 20 laps later. But before that, I want my strawberry sponge cake with peanuts on the side.........

Sleepless

Seriously, I don't see the point of trying to sleep now as its already 928am. Today will be Jacq's wedding photo shoot and I'm to be her PA cum outdoor make up artiste cum stylist cum whatever for the day from 11am -8pm.

I love helping out friends during their wedding, planning and especially photo shoot.

My all time favorite involvement to these weddings is still the HUNT for the perfect gown.

I must have been involved helping in at least 5 weddings so this means I have had "27 dresses"? LOL

I don't know how I'm gonna survive through the day without sleep but I guess 5 liters of coffee shall do the trick.

Yes, this photoshoot was supposed to happen last month but the couple decided to postpone it because they couldn't decide on the location for the shoot. I'm not gonna be the "second unit" today because I couldn't make it on time to borrow a good camera from my photographer friend.

I don't know why I couldn't sleep.

For the last two weeks, I have been losing sleep for no reason. I don't believe in sleeping pills. Maybe I shall get me some lavender oil for my pillows. I suspect these insomanic nights were due to my overdosage on sugar intake as I have been the official "white rat" of Jacq's Bakery.

Its 10am now. I better get going.

Cheers.

Drank Grapes

I was invited to the wedding dinner of Henry Thia's daughter. As usual, we the Jteamers had fun. For me, I shamelessly help myself to many glasses of wine. Please people, I need my vitamin C from the grapes. lol It's always fun to be able to catch up with good old friends from the business.

Dropping by...

I thought I just drop by my own blog for a while.

Not much happening except I bought another new pair of shoe, watched the F1 race on TV, followed CNN news on the mass hysteria of stock market and went to a celebration party of LL with Prince and JF.

I'm also re-reading Dan Brown's Angel & Demon, enjoying myself indoors in the nice and cool rainy weather. This very moment, breathing in the aroma mixed from both the rain and my cup of coffee makes me happy. Life can be simply beautiful. Good morning!

Monologue

From the film NETWORK (1976)

Howard Beale: I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is: 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. (shouting) You've got to say, 'I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!...You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore

This monologue is sure a killer. Love it.

Whatever! She's so cute!

Being Contented

I'm feeling proud of my new arrivals. Prince said I showed more feelings to my shoes than any human beings based on the way I looked affectionately at my 9 pairs of new heels, which was nicely and orderly displayed on the floor, fresh out of the box. Of course I denied his accusation.

Mom let out a sign and knocked her head with her hands muttering to herself " We have 7 people in the house with 700 pairs of shoe. 20 pairs belonging to 6 people and the rest of the 680 belonging to you." Nonsense. I don't own 680 pairs of shoe of course. Maybe just 40 pairs. Yes at one point I did own a good 100 pairs but that was so long ago.

Okay, enough of the bimbo-tic shoe talk.

I was at the Gala Premier of the movie "Connected" yesterday. It was a Hong Kong remake of the Hollywood film "Cellular". Louis Koo was cute as ever and Barbie Su made her entrance as beautiful as a goddess on the red carpet. Best of all, I love my door gift. The movie was enjoyable and funny though I did receive a few comments on my increased waistline as usual. This is not good but all I can say is, I'm working on it. Yeah, I do understand its part of the job for any actor to look good and these people do meant well.

The charity sale that I was involved was supposed to happen at the end of this month has been cancelled for unknown reasons. But a few more events had pop up.

It rained this morning. Love it. Nothing matters now except my cup of coffee and a good read of Elizabeth Gaskell's Wives And Daughters. I shall hit the gym after lunch.
