Unless you’d been completely comatose since last Friday, you’ll know that MJ passed away. I was receiving messages about that the entire morning so apparantly its no secret that I like the guy.
I really like him until he got too weird. Even then, I feel sad about how he’d turned out rather than being [...]

A box of strawberries was passed around just now. Everyone said that they were kind of sour, but I’m quite happy to shove mine into my mouth I like them especially when they are a little too ripe, a tiny bit away from being too red.

I would have preferred to go [...]
Drawing + Lipstick

I’d always wanted to be able to draw, like all the true blue creative types

Just now I had a lipstick emergency – I ran out of my favorite nude one and forgot to bring a backup.
I felt so naked without any artificial colouring my lips that I had to run down to town [...]

[Photo from Monocle]
I’m treating myself to a copy of Monocle this month Usually I leech off Wanqing (who buys them religiously) since its way off my magazine budget. But this issue is their annual Most Liveable Cities issue! I love that.
This year, Zurich came in first, ousting Copenhagen (pictured), 2008’s winner, off the [...]

I have to finish up my roll of film!
But its proving to be frustratingly difficult. Maybe doubling the number of shots I can take with one roll of film is not such a good idea after all – it never seems to run out!

The Girls and I went to Batam for a R.O.C (i.e. Relax One Corner) retreat over the weekend
We got ourselves a suite at the Holiday Inn. Officially, there’s just two of us staying in it; unofficially, we’re eight!
Surprisingly, the ferry ride was not as disastrous as some of the others I’d experienced. I [...]

Super cute right? I was thinking of which shape to represent the green light – and all I can think of is broccoli, which really isn’t very cute.
FYI, the cauliflower is actually the white broccoli. I bet you didn’t know that! LOL

I totally forgot about this photo I took with the iconic Andy Warhol painting of Chairman Mao at the Louisiana Museum.
I don’t think we were supposed to take photos – the security guard was just out of eye-shot – but we’re pretty genius with sneaky photo-taking in museums.

I like alleyways and parked bicycles. Actually, in general, bicycles are pretty cool things

Every day, people surprise me. Sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a not so good way.
I have some colleagues whom I’m genuinely fond of. Today, I found out that one of them has been constantly [...]
