An hour to go

Before leaving for my flight to Bangkok! First ever press trip and first ever solo plane ride. I'm all sorts of nervous and excited! Hopefully I'll find time to meet up with Eme & co. in bkk, that would be fun. K I'll update more on Wed. Adios. 

Coffee Days

Last weekend was kickass. Ventured to the new croissant place at Tiong Bahru with ML and talked about life as usual. Finally went to church for service after what felt like ages... this I am ashamed but I'm working to change that. Impromtu dinner with Jh in town. Shopped and bought a $100 floral pants (Wth was I thinking? Luckily it's gorgeous but still... $100?!) then tea party with Cal and co. laughing and drinking tea before I had to fly to Jotham's house. Went to the airport at 2am, waited for the boy and reached home only about 4 or 5 and after a few brief moments of cuddling, our body gave up and we collapsed on the bed. Woke up to more cuddling and nua-ing like our usual sloth selves, shopped in the late afternoon again, failed attempt to catch a movie because everything was sold out. Sushi and pasta dinner at home over a dvd before sleeptime. This is probably definitely the most time I've spent with J the past month! Only 1 day but good enough.

*Edited: Also, I bought J the new John Mayer cd as a welcome home gift. Sleep-deprived (and slightly delirious) him was unwrapping it and going like, "Is this John Mayer? Is it? Is it? What is it?" and I casually mentioned "No, I made you a mixtape." He actually went "Oh. *sad face*" and when he saw it, he squealed in excitement. Therefore, I now know, John Mayer > my mixtape.

Best news of the week is that I'm going to Bangkok next Mon to Wed for a press trip. Hopefully I'll get to explore the place a little (highly doubt I'll get to shop) and come back with a trillion pictures! In the meantime, I've got loads of work to do and 2 birthday presents to buy this week.

Ninja Warrior

To say my bro is more adventurous than me is an understatement. He got one of the three red flags (out of eight other people) and I'm crossing my fingers that he get called to advance into the next round! It would be so cool to see him on tv hehe. My mom will probably record it and replay it again and again just for laughs.

The Dark Lord shall rise again

Highlight of my week was visiting the Artscience Museum at Marina Bay Sands for the Harry Potter the exhibition media preview. One of the perks of working for a magazine. And surprisingly, we got to meet the Weasley twins who were really charming (and hot, hehe). I was "photographer" and I stupidly wore a short dress.

I took almost 400 pictures that morning (um, but public can't take pictures, I'm sorry) and I've picked a couple to show here. Not going to spoil it for everyone but it's really, really cool. There's a shop at the end of the exhibition (that feels like Diagon Alley) where you can get Harry Potter memorabilia. Of course, everything is kinda pricey, even a small box of Bertie Bott's every flavour beans cost $6. I'm dying for the timeturner necklace ($120)!

Ok that's all, I'll be blogging the rest of the pictures/experience at the magazine's blog here on Monday!

"He tenderly embraces the girl's body, and she is nestled motionless in his arms.


What does this nestling mean?


It means that she is abandoning herself to him; she is settled in his arms and she wants to stay there.


But this abandonment is not an overture! She is nestled in his arms, closed, locked up; her hunched shoulders guard her breasts, her head is turned away from his face and leans on his chest; she is staring into the darkness of his sweater. She is settled in his arms, sealed up so that he hides her in his embrace as in a steel safe."

If Singapore is hot

Then Sai Yok, Thailand, where I think Jotham's camp is located, must be Mordor.

Hi teach me how to tap dance

Recovering from a fever. Body aches aren't helping, especially the hemstrings area. Makes me walk funny. And I've got a weird bruise on my feet. Oh, and I cut my hair collarbone length on Saturday. I like it, it is no longer a lifeless sheet of black strands connected to my head.

Jotham, who's braving the even crazier heat in Thailand with the army, just called. I turn into a needy kitty on the phone with him. Three weeks will pass by soon enough. Also, EX is out! I am beyond excited to see people actually reading them in public! Next Monday can't come soon enough.
