Alley Cat View

Picture of the alley next to my office. Guess this is how the neighbourhood looks like to the prowling cats of the estate - they are the real landlords.

Happy Faces

Spotted these smiley faces at the wet market last weekend. Couldn't resist and snapped it when the stall owner wasn't looking. Can you guess what they are? Clue: They looked too happy to be eaten.

It's a Wrap!

This is long overdue but I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all my friends who came down to the Rock the Sub and Blues at the House gigs. I feel so looooooved because I know some of you bought tickets just to support my first project at T. Hope you discover some good music along the way!

Tell-tale signs that you have been to a good gig:

#1 The queue to the female washrooms is never ending.

#2 Bracing through crowds of sloashed-out folks during and after the event

#3 Pervs standing at the back of the stage watching artists' butts for 3-hours instead of just buying a ticket. 

#4 Gatecrashers who scheme, scam and try to talk their way into free admission. I love throwing these people out. And while we are on this subject....

- To the "media personnel" who was wearing all manners of media passes and who used the WOMAD name in vain...shame on you for name dropping and how dare you mess with the ten-year-old history WOMAD Singapore has built up. You picked the wrong gig to crash. 

- To the lady from "Ministry of Labour", I am pretty sure this name is no longer in use in the public sector and NOooooooo...write in through the proper channels if you want enter the gates to find out if "the under-aged" are performing on stage. Tip: Come in with some sort of identification, at least the "media personnel" above had 5 or 6 media passes to choose from.

Thirty-Nothing

Received well-wishes and prank calls from old friends and a flaming waterfall from new ones. Kennen Coles even sent flowers (though I think guilt paid a huge part since he can't spend the day with me). Overall, not a bad haul for turning thirty. 

And I'm not even hungover.

My First Bridezilla Moment

Oh gawd. 

The photographer requested for a picture of my wedding gown so I asked the bridal boutique for it. Boutique sent over pictures of two gowns that "I have selected" and they were wrong wrong wrong. And the fact that one of them was absolutely hideous. 

*panic sets in*

Wrote a tactful email to boutique that both were definitely not the gown I have selected and attached a really flowery description of how it looked like. Followed up with a call when email was not answered within 3 minutes. Girl who serviced me had left for the day so no one can help me. Now I'm left to kill 18 hours of wild thoughts that my perfect gown was bought / rented out / altered / smeared with red paint.
