WHEEEeeeee!

Just because I haven’t been blogging about shopping doesn’t mean I haven’t been. Obviously. *grin* Ever since I rediscovered Singapore’s unbeatable prices (okay so M’sia & Bangkok & HK & Taiwan have cheaper stuff….) one third the pound!!!! *GASP* I’ve been on quite a roll. Very bad. But I’m actually amazed and delighted at the [...]

In one of those moods where you want to write but you don’t know what to write about. Because although your mind is an absolute zilch, it’s lovely and quiet and dark and the world is still and people are getting ready for bed and the only sound you hear the the clickety clack of [...]

Sasu has a friend.

I bought the coolest new necklace made from cut-out brass plates- It has a tree with a cage dangling from one of its branches and there’s a little bird dangling just in front of the cage! Which means it just escaped! But returns occasionally to its friendly abode. (har har) As usual, I’ve named my [...]

Last sunday, I read Lifestyle’s article on exorcism with some satisfaction seeing as how the journalists had finally decided to ask a qualified and well-informed member of the clergy about the esoteric rite- rather than depend on less than dependable secondary sources. However, once I turned the page, my spirits dissipated into utter dismay and [...]

An Old Fashioned Girl

Boh Pa Kay

Tim told me what it means…”not counted” or “don’t count”…I thought it meant “not up to scratch” and used it with great relish just now. The feeling of smugness at my mastery of Hokkien has now fled and I’m all out of context. Ah well…
I love today….looovveee it. I’m so schweepy (because I slept at [...]

It’s not that I don’t love you anymore
Sometimes I just need to be alone
I feel my sense of self disappearing, like I can’t remember who I am
And if I can’t comprehend myself…how can I comprehend what you are to me?
I just get this way sometimes…it probably isn’t anything big.
Too much rain, cold toes, cold heart.

Dreaming Again

My mom’s first solo watercolour art exhibition is now on at the Central Library in Kent Ridge Campus!!! Go check it out before it closes on friday I think. I’m so very proud of her.

Gypsy

You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design
Suzanne Vega’s lyrics remind me of the time when we were on Montmarte, on the wide stair leading up to [...]
