My life as it is now in Singapore.

It can be quiet, it can be noisy. It can be boring, it can be full of excitement.

It is always hot.

get me out of here

i woke up this morning feeling very terrible. well, actually i woke up earlier than my alarm which is always annoying, but probably due to the fact that i had drunken so much the night before that i went to bed fearing that i'd sleep in.

ergh. anyway, today being a public holiday in Singapore, meant that it was really indecent to require me to come into the office. furthermore, i had absolutely nothing to do for most of the day and thus have been sitting at my desk falling deeper and deeper into my hangover. so right now, all i can think about is my bed and sleeping in it. and possible vomiting.



I suddenly realise that it's that time of the year again and the multitudes of to-dos piling up is starting to overwhelm me.. Christmas shopping.. gift posting.. Christmas lunch planning .. a three year old boy's birthday party.. kris kringle at work (my least favourite game in the whole wide world).. I haven't started on my skirt either which is really frustrating to me. I mean it is my own fault that I haven't picked up the scissors to start cutting the tulle (out of fear), but I just want to create something.. preferably without having to resort to handsewing. but i don't have a choice here.

anyway, the weekend nears and so does my bed!

much love xox

saturday morning

Lately my weekends have been quite the non-event with Dugy studying and my general disinterest in leaving the apartment. However, given my itch and week-long craving for au lait cru camembert i ventured out this morning on my own and came back with a random set of goodies. All in the span of 3 hours.

I would attribute my activeness to the fact that it is now actually quite cool in Singapore since it rains every few hours leaving no time for the sun to shine. And thus I can emerge in comfort. I am really so over coping with the hot weather here. while it makes for comfort when out at night, it's quite horrendous during the day.

Today I really went out with the intention to visit Spotlight for some supplies and Carrefour for cheese and strangely ended up with much more, including a shoulder massager. Actually that really isn't surprising since at-whim overspending happens so often to me.


 
 







I'm most excited about the two metres of tulle that I purchased. Hopefully I can hand sew it into something wearable and beautiful. If I succeed, it's going to be fabulous. The baguette is also quite good.

Tonight once Dugy comes home from the office we shall venture out to dine at Oso Ristorante, one of my new favourite places to eat. I have a hankering for italian cold cuts and goose tonight. followed by a panna cotta. or a formaggi platter. or BOTH! mmmmmmmmmm.

much love xox.

and all that jazz





















over the past few days i have been feeling the itch to do something creative. anything really, i feel like taking photos, painting, sketching, baking, decorating, designing, sewing, constructing, writing.


it's driving me nuts. i don't know what to do about it because i am ill equipped with both resources and talent. i can imagine that this itch is just going to develop into some sort of gross manky rash.

testing one-two-tree

i had the urge to regurgitate my thoughts so i quickly rolled this makeshift replacement blog out in anticipation of a thought-provoking dissection of my surrounds.

it was not so.

but readers, i will keep you in mind for a rainy day (the wet season is now approaching. thank goodness for my melissa flats)
