I am Chinese female Spock.

Dupree informed me my new Rick-creation fringe makes me look like Spock from Star Trek. Haahaha!
Since many friends of mine are non-Science Space fans, this is what Spock looks like.

Best ruler in the world.

I contemplated office stationery marketing philosophy while I was at the office temple of reports.
I think there are truly difficult jobs out there, and one of them includes marketing generic products, like Rulers.

So I think, in this case, Mr. Marketer of Generic products like rulers decided to go all out.

Brand: D-Best
Product: High Class Plastic STRAIGHT ruler.

Warned: Cat story.

Anyone who knows me will know how crazy I am about the Cat.
I always tell myself that I shouldn’t blog about Mongkut because no one else really like the cat like I do, and when I tell them all the Mongkut stories, being the kind souls they are, they would make sympathetic noises but probably can’t wait to talk about something else instead.

But, I cannot resist it anymore!

I always wonder… do animals know how mirrors work? Yes they do! Mongkut was looking at me and my camera via the mirror! Wah, so intelligent!


And there’s a SPCA ad which tries to gently advise people to consider carefully before getting a pet, because the animal cannot be “shelved” away, like other things you don’t want anymore. But look! Here is Mongkut “shelving” himself. I swear I did not put him on the shelf for the photo shoot.

another epidemic

I am currently working chez moi on two final project reports frantically, trying my best not to step into the office. My manager has a bad, highly infectious case of swollen red eyes. He said there's an epidemic and last week, about 1000-odd cases were reported in Singapore. Since he mentioned that it's highly contagious, I find myself checking my eyes out in the mirror everytime I feel a slight itch may be coming on. So far so good...see no red. He's home resting now, with his infected red eyes kids and wife, hopefully they get well soon, and that the epidemic is contained in their Ang Moh Kio neighborhood, hehhh.

A lighter moment in the office... a fellow colleague pretend-spying and trying out Shrek ears from Mac's. As you can tell, we are professionals who take things very seriously in the office.

(Free) Gift! when you visit S'pore

Here I am, doing my national duty in enticing our overseas talent to return for a visit.

Every year, we would watch the National Day Parade on TV and crack silly jokes about some of the obiang costumes and cringe at the blatently propaganda-rish display of the nation's military might. No exception this year, though it seemed to be a more slick production.

This time, the organisers had included in the gift pack, cartoon animal hats with blinking eye lights, which were distributed to all the spectators. Everyone looked silly wearing them on TV (but I want one of them, esp. the lion kind that Mr Lee KY wore).

Towards the end of the parade, when we saw the first of the fireworks going off on TV, all of us madly dashed to the roof balcony to see the real thing. This year, the Father was slower in reaching the top floor, that's because he went off to locate his binoculars and then, he spent the rest of the 2-min fireworks display going ..."Wah! So nice! I can see the fireworks much clearer than you guys..."

Well, Happy National Day Everyone!

Taiji at Fishmart Sakuraya

We couldn't finish the sashimi & the wasabi tako. Eyes bigger than stomach. Ordered too much.

Too much sashimi?!!? This has never happened to us before.
But, our self-imposed mandate was that we couldn't LEAVE until we finish EVERYTHING. We started to taiji and bully the last few slices of sashimi to each other.

Dilly to Me: "You're small. You look like you need to eat more."

Me to Dilly: "You wanted to order all these... so you must finish them all."

Us to Dupree: "You're going off to Europe soon... no sushi there..better eat up while you can."

Thankfully, potential ugly scene averted, and our friendship stayed intact as we finished up with grace (eventually).
Have a good trip Dupree! Bring back some ham for us. We'll have more sashimi when you're back, yah?

REDHEELS bought red heels

Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!
I love! I love! I love! I love!

Hey Singapore, yeo-ah yeo!

Singapore National Day coming right up! So let's do the patriotic thing and support local movies! Go see Royston Tan's new movie 881, which I think is going to be hilarious!
"881"- Sounds like Papaya in English - The movie is about a Getai two sisters act who called themselves the Papaya Sisters. Glitzy, Hokkien, & Fun!
See movie trailer at below link. The last part of the trailer, where people en masse chanted in hokkien "881 yeo-ah, yeo-ah, yeo-ah, yeo", gave me massive goosebumps. Shiok.

See you there!

Watch it!

Oh how I love the Simpsons!

It's also funny how the cinema audience laughed together, and abruptly, simultaneously stopped in 1.5 seconds. Controlled amusement, otherwise you'll miss out the next line.

Real star of the show is...c'mon everyone let's sing along now...

SPIDER PIG
SPIDER PIG
Does whatever a SPIDER PIG does
Can he swing
From a web
No he can't
He's a pig
LOOK OOOUUUTTT!!!!
He's a SPIDER PIG!!

Yah, without Spider Pig and his crap, there would be no show.

I beat the Ah Peks

I bought a pair of very comfy Volcom Jamiaca style beach shorts a few weeks ago.
Of course, even a simple pair of beach shorts constitutes fashion, and it’s all about image projection right?

After dinner, I asked the Mother if my shorts are very much like Ah Pek/DOM PJs. It’s the print, very 70s Ah Pek style, I fear.

My mom nonchalantly replied, “No lah, Ah Peks where got wear such short shorts to sleep?” WL, I’m more indecent than DOMs in the eyes of the parent.
