All work for the week ahead is completed!
That explains why I have the time to come here and whine and rant- all things that I do best.
I was just thinking of Starbucks.
Latte.
Baileys.
And I wonder why can’t Starbucks offer Latte with Baileys?
It will make afternoons all the fun =)
Highly -giggly and off to teach.
Isn’t it nice to have a smiley teacher all the time?
Seriously – Latte spiked with Baileys.
TEACHERS ONLY.

… because time is not kind to me.
1. I’m not dead, because I had lobster porridge at Orchid Country Club last night.
2. I’m fucking busy, because my horrific five weeks of lesson planning has just begun.
3. I slapped myself in my dream last night, because I want to know that he was real. I got up this morning and knew he wasn’t. I feel like crap.
4. I’d a campfire last Friday and suddenly I missed being just a student.
5. I’m still thinking of what to ask J.C to get for me from HongKong.
6. I’m happy being drowned in work. Rather than sorrow.
7. My maid left. I’m the new maid till the next one is here.
8. My aunt wants me to ask if my little cousin has a girlfriend. HAHA.
9. I’m currently planning my electric circuits lesson plans. I need ideas on the kind of DVDs to teach the concept. Any cartoons?
10. I’m worried that I suck at my job.
11. We’re celebrating Grand’s birthday next Sat. We haven’t gotten a present.
12. Somehow, I feel that my life is not complete.
13. I like reading PostSecret. because of schadenfreude?
14. I like chandeliers, carousels and snowglobes.
15. I would rather have nightmares than happy dreams.

I’ve often wanted to try this Japanese Charcoal Grill place, but the snaking queues were mostly a great turn-off. Well, better late than never. I finally stepped in – tonight – and got the counter seats.

This is quite a long read. But fucking hilarious.
Taken from A Dress A Day.
Q. WHAT is the dirtiest creature you know?
A. The English fine lady.
Q. What are your reasons for saying this ?
A. Her habits.
Q. Explain yourself more fully.
A. When she walks she drags behind her a receptacle for dust and dirt of every kind.
Q. What is this called?
A. A long dress, or train.
Q. What is its action?
A. It sweeps the ground, collects mud, dust, cigar-stumps, straws, leaves, and every other impurity.
Q. What happens next?
A. This accumulation rubs off to a certain extent upon other portions of her dress, or upon the legs of any person who may walk beside her, and when she gets into her carriage, the objectionable matter spoils the lining ; besides that, the dust is most offensive.
Q. Why does she wear such a ridiculous dress?
A. For one of two reasons. Either because she aims at a servile imitation of certain great folks, or because she owes money to her milliner, and dares not order any kind of dress except that which this tyrant sends home to her.
Q. Why does she not raise, or loop up her dress to keep it from the ground?
A. Because, being a lazy person, she has thick ancles [sic], or being a scraggy person, she has skinny ones, which her vanity forbids her to exhibit.
Q. Is there any other reason?
A. Yes; she has probably ugly feet, disfigured by corns or bunions caused by wearing tight boots.
Q. Is there any cure for such habits?
There is none, until her husband has been nearly ruined by her extravagance, when she is compelled by economical reasons to dress like a rational being, and at once becomes clean and charming as the British female was intended to be.
Q. What sensation is caused to man by the sight of these dresses ?
A. Contemptuous pity for the woman, and pity, without contempt, for her unfortunate husband.
Q. Does she know this ?
A. Yes, but as she dresses less to please men than to vex women, the knowledge has no effect upon her dirty habits.
Q. Where can the animal be seen?
A. At the Zoological Gardens on Sunday afternoons, in the Park and Kensington Gardens, and in most places where fine clothes can be successfully exhibited.
Q. What lesson should you deduce from this ?
A. That of thankfulness to Providence that, (if married at all) you are married to a sensible woman and not to a fine lady.
Q. What will you take to drink ?
A. Anything you like to put a name to.

.. so Ange and I totally abandoned the initially plans of roaming Ikea and getting Chilli Crab at Joo Chiat.. and somehow managed to get two frivolous stuff off my TO-DO-LIST:
1) Getting myself up high and above on the SINGAPORE FLYER.
2) Indulging in the FIsh Spa experience.
If you ask me, is the Singapore Flyer a must try?
I would nod my head vigorously and tell you, yes.. at least once. But if you are a sucker for ferris wheels or carousels like me, then going up there once is not enough.
I would like to see the daybreak (even though they are not opened at unearthly hours), the sunset, rainy sky and the skyline when the IR is up (for now, the view is hideous.. unless you are a fan of cranes, concrete and all things under construction).
Alright.. Click More to see tons of photos.
