out for a little spin

Dinner at a Jap restaurant and then test driving my friend’s 4-cylinder BMW 318 - the predecessor to the 325. It’s definitely a guy’s car. A little too sensitive to the road conditions. In fact, the drive was a little bumpy and driving that 318 requires a little more work as compared to a camry. [...]

sunny side down

I finally got my rolls of film developed. Nothing great. Realized how out of touch I am right now. It’s a scary feeling, especially when you know that you aren’t as good as before. It’s also a very humbling experience. I haven’t shot for 4 years now and it really shows. The lack of sensitivity, [...]

yay!

Ok, I take it back. I actually had fun doing that invitation. It was really girly. I was making a face when I used the pinks and purples. Not my colors but it’s my client’s favorite colors. Btw, it’s gonna be a ‘Littlest Pet Shop’ bday party. My dad bought me those when I was [...]

things-to-do

I’m feeling a little uptight tonight. Dinner’s over. Everyone’s gone. Lucas is back in school now. Life should be back to normal but I know it won’t be for the rest of this week. I’ve got a ton to do before I leave next Monday.
I always do, especially before going on vacation. Even my favorite [...]

shut your eyes,

take a deep breath, and breathe in some of my happiness.
You never know what’s gonna come out of a conversation. Relationships. Be real. Be yourself. Learn to appreciate others and others will appreciate you.

black friday

— the day after thanksgiving. A day where people go shopping like crazy. It’s the day where all the malls have supposedly great sales (some do, and some don’t), and where most people start shopping for Christmas gifts.
So yesterday, we had thanksgiving dinner… blah blah… and someone told me that her friend was going shopping [...]

courage

It takes quite a bit of courage for someone to pick up the phone and call a long-lost friend. You don’t really know what to expect or what kind of reaction you’ll get. I got one of those calls recently and I appreciate my friend for doing that.

7.0 on the richter scale

The floor has been vibrating since 10:30am and I’m afraid it’ll continue throughout the day. My neighbors downstairs got bit by the festive bug and are spreading the joy through sound waves.
It actually sounds a little like Indian techno music. You know, the kind of dance music you hear during Deepavali and at Indian weddings? [...]

wizards will give you lemonade

on thanksgiving day. Nah, I’m just kidding…
Nov 23rd is thanksgiving day here in the US. It’s kind of a big deal to most americans, but it doesn’t mean anything special to me. I don’t think I’ve actually celebrated thanksgiving in Singapore. The calendar tells me it’s on Dec 31st, and our church has a night/countdown [...]

scrambled eggs

Yea. That’s today. All mixed together. Jumbled up.
It was and still is cold today. I like it. A little misty when it’s sprinkling. My apt mate and I aren’t feeling so great though. She had fever and sore throat yesterday and it’s my turn now. I’m trying to stay awake until it’s 21:30 so that [...]
