The guys in my family are not the SNAG type nor are they the Metrosexual type. They are outdoorsy, rugged and sweaty. They don’t give two hoots about skincare, use 70cents soap with glee and wonder why you need to comb your hair after bathing.

Asking them to go to the mall sends them running, the word ’shopping’ freaks them out and ya, the best part is they can tell you that ’air-con makes ma eyes sleepy’.

You must watch this! Beautiful and brillant performance.

 Open yourself up to new perspectives, images, ideas and head down to the Japanese Film Festival 2008 if you are free. Thanks to a friend, I was able to catch a very powerful, true story: Abduction, The Megumi Yokota story.

Weekend was spent in Bangkok.

3 things on our agenda was fulfilled:

1) Buy lots of Wacoal underwear- check!

2) Massages- check! (I even snoozed through a leg massage)

3) Eat mango sticky rice- check, check, check! (ate every chance I got)

The apartment that my sis booked was really nice! highly recommended especially if you are going in a group (cheaper than hotel), bring ur swimsuits please, the infinity pool with its urban skyline view is really a sight to see and enjoy.

We went with 1 check in luggage and we came back with 3 check in luggages (testimony to the power of shopping in BK).

Olkgal whipped up yummlicious Vietnamese ice cream the other day and gave us a tub.

hehehe everyone loved it! It wasn’t too sweet, it was soft and creamy and the taste was just yums! Especially now that the weather is so the hot, ice cream is such a lovely way to cool down and bond over.  Thanks babe!

Cooked a whole pot full of barley water with beancurd for the hubs over the weekend. Must say I think it was quite yummy, just a tad too sweet for my taste, but nothing that some additional water can’t fix. The poor thing’s been hacking away since 2 weeks ago…a combination of stress, lack of rest has just made him sicker. I kindna feel guilty about it coz the cough started from me and it spread over…am all ok and chirpy but he’s still super sick. Even the magic medicine, Manuka Honey isn’t working for him.

Ah…if only he can take time off to really truly rest…nothing beats the healing power of deep sleep and a stress free environment.  

Have you heard of KVLT (prounced as Cult)?

The artwork is pretty amazing…plus it is local.

With National Day coming along, this clip brings back fond memories of the song that use to get stuck in my head due to multiple singing sessions in school choir.
