Wasted Weekend

I forgot how miserable falling sick was.

What started out as mild food poisoning transgressed to a full blown throbbing headache and fever and totally throw off my weekend plans which includes clearing up work on Sat , followed by a sunday morning dive at Hantu and a equally leisurely Sunday afternoon for some sanity before the hectic week ahead.

Instead I spent most of Sat half-dead on the bed (I dont remember ever having slept so much in a day) and with an equally incapacitating headache Sunday morning, with the dread that work is left uncleared in the office and no leisure to speak of.

Misery galore. Argh.

Studio Ghibli Film Festival

I forgot how painful food poisoning is. Anyhow I was still debating whether if I should stop being a whim and go office today, but in the end, I decided to cut myself some slack, and also having the comfort of knowing that the bed is just a roll away..

sigh...going to miss the free-flow wine gathering tonight.

Downing down the pills from the doc while reading the papers, I read that Studio Ghibli are going to do a film festival at the Picturehouse! Woohoo~!

Of course, the festival is going to end off with "My neighbour Totoro" which is really the most symbolic work of Studio Ghibli. But really, I think the most memorable one is still "Tombstone of Fireflies". Just remember to bring lots of tissue.

Santa, I have been a good girl..well sort of..

is that why I only got $750 this year to "splurge"? But anyway, just in case you may have miscounted the "naughties" (i didn't swear as much this year...idiotic drivers and other brainless species dont count), here goes:

1. A red holga camera

Sigh.. over S$100 bucks for a starter kit. It's a toy camera for goodness sake! That was originally sold for a few bucks or even given free at petrol kiosk wonder. But the images are wonderful..It's even made more confusing when there is also the Diana, which I donno what is the difference when it comes to film size,the accessorising and what really both cameras will do.

Santa, red is niiiccceeee....oh well, the next time someone goes HK, that is going into the to-buy list.

2. Iphone 3GS

One knows that one is definitely a tech-lagger when 3 mahjong kakis are ALL using Iphone. But was tied down to stupid contract for a lousy taiwan phone that keeps losing contact details for god knows what reason and couldn't switch service provider. Good thing too though..鹤蚌相争，渔翁得利。I think I may recontract with Starhub again, but waiting out for my colleauge to check out the corporate price plan at Singtel too. Gosh..that will make me the ultimate tech lagger after almost maybe half the world is already playing games on their Iphones..but .. a phone is a phone is a phone...so long as my calendar in the current one doesn't start losing its contents, that will be really the last straw.

3. .......

Hm...maybe make the back pain go away? (ah well...I tink that is something one has to just live with. Serve myself right for not taking care and procrastinating signing up for the pilate or yoga to strengthen the back)

4. .......

OK..since it's only $750 and I cant make the back pain go away, Santa, I just want fun and laughter, joy and happiness. Can hor...?

Bittersweet symphony

One of those days when there is just the right song for the mood.

Well actually, it was the whole soundtrack. This movie kick-ass.



累字怎么写 - 腰酸背痛得写 （第一次坐太久而腰痛）

坚持坚持坚持！

还在打曲棍球时，最怕张教练喊，“来！ 十圈！” 每个人当下拉长着脸， 无奈的脱下护腿板， 准备绕着球场跑十圈。

十圈嘛，才不到三千米， 坏的是每跑一圈， 教练要求的速度是越增越快。


“抬脚！跨大一点！蹬起来！”每绕一圈，张教练嚷嚷着督促我们这群黄毛小丫头。

而且他一定会喊这一句...




“坚持！”



听到这句话，每个人是面红耳赤，肺挣的快要爆炸，再咬紧牙根，一脚步，一脚步的跨出去。 十圈下来， 刚开始是趴在草皮地上，觉得好像小命就快没了， 动也动不了。但久而久之， 每个人的速度是越来越快，越跑越起劲 （当然，我还是落在后头猛追这的那个...后卫嘛，那里可能比中前卫快）。

今天面对堆积如山的草稿，不停泛红的email inbox, 突然间， 耳际仿佛又听到

“坚持!"


咬紧牙根..

Emilie Simon

First I got this after seeing her youtube MV for "Flowers" off Joyce's blog.

Then I lent that to a colleauge, who had heard of her and was trying to find her CD but seems like she's not that hot in SG (I guess HMV hadn't stock up after I picked up that last CD off the shlef).

She really liked the disc. Told her friend who happened to have a French friend coming to SG. And that French friend brought these other CDs for her.

And since my colleauge is such a nice person, she lent me all 3 two days ago.

WOOHOO! :D

This is a cool song. So are her other songs.

(And I only managed to rip it tonight...cos have been staying late at work. Gosh..累字怎么写...是趴着写)

萧敬腾-善男信女

那片山谷 入口处清楚刻著伤心人的墓
那片浓雾 隔绝了其实可以忘了爱的醒悟 别哭
那片乐土 是不是至少能让眼泪都停住
祝福 什麼都不再记住
祝福 下一次总会幸福
祝福 爱情的信徒
那善男信女都别再继续受苦
