Freakish - we are having sunny and rainy weather at the same time! i looked out of the window, thinking that hey, the weatherman's wrong again - sunny periods with scattered showers, my foot, there was the sun and nice blue sea... on closer inspection, the window was being splattered with rain! all hail weatherman! your prediction has come true. i shall never doubt you again.

Everytime i think the weather has eased up, it just gets worse. we've hit another bout of bad weather. showers, gale-like winds, you name it. this place just never ceases to amaze me. it's supposed to be another bad week, so i'm preppng myself with boots pants and the brollie tomorrow. i think i might even be missing the hot scorching sun back home. In any case, this has been a DVD weekend. We watched Elizabeth:The Golden Age and Rush Hour 3 on Friday, followed by The Heartbreak Kid and As You Like It yesterday. RH3 was as usual - chock-full of Jackie's usual kungfu madness. Heartbreak Kid was really quite entertaining. Elizabeth was serious yet totally thoughtful. As You Like It - i fell asleep halfway and decided to call mum instead. yeps, i've listed them according to how much i enjoyed those shows. Friday night, we were at Cafe Cairo with K's bunch of friends. The food was really good, we had the hummus, red pepper hummus, baba ganoush, tabouleh, ...

okay, i wasn't quite right in my last post. Heath Ledger died in his own apartment - not Mary-Kate's - and he was 28 years of age - not 26. ___________________________________ this week, i've discovered mould in our closet. as in, i found mould on some of our clothes and the luggage bags stored in the closet. eeks. did some auditing of our wares, pulled out clothes dotted with those wretched white spots to the wash, wiped the luggage bags we were going to use and threw away hao-e's mouldy shoes. Then, i scampered off to the hardware store to buy meself some Damp-Rid kits to hang in the closet. i sure hope those things work, cos they are such a cheapo alternative to the electrical dehumidifier which costs at least $200. i don't want no spots on my clothes ever again! _____________________________________ i've tried keeping to my tiring, back-breaking, ab-crunching, kick-boxing gym schedule. so far, i've been there sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday and yester...

it's funny the amount of information you can receive from a large but muted plasma tv hanging on the wall in front of the treadmills. for several days last week, Britney hogged the US news. one, she held her boys hostage while threatening to kill herself. After which, she turned up at the courthouse hours late for her custody battle. Then she decided she's not only called "Brit"-ney, she IS a Brit and started putting on a Brit accent. Following that, she denied she ever dated her ex-boyfriend. Boy, this girl is in a whole lot of trouble. At the rate she's spiraling out of control, i think the she'll either spin her way onto the moon or end up in an institution. Today's shocking headline: Heath Ledger has died. While huffing and puffing away with my knees half buckling, i realised a half of the famed brokeback couple has passed away. he was found dead in mary-kate olsen's apartment in soho with sleeping pills by his side. suspected suicide atte...

Hi darlings. countdown: 12+ days i slept at 10pm last evening. wasn't feeling well. think the weather has been getting to me. just felt cold. i've underestimated the weather here. it's quite cold today too. anyway, i woke up this morning with a wide smile. funny dream. dreamt that hao-e and i were back in school, except this time the school/college was in australia. there were koalas climbing everywhere! haha. the college grounds bordered a river. and there was a party to welcome new students like us. we were pushed into the river and had so much fun! funny dream don't you think? perhaps i just liked school too much. perhaps i was just too full of sleep i dreamt funny. haha. ah well. at least it was a happy dream.

bloody pissed off. lost another earring. 3rd one so far. the butterfly one from bangkok. i'm just gonna stick to studs now for the time being. i can cry.

It's mid-week. Which means it's kick-boxing class this evening. Ooh, tremble.... More wobbly knees and overworked arms and back. More tremble. The weather has been unpredictable. It was supposed to be raining yesterday, it didn't. The winds howled though. and i think it probably rained a little near midnight, when i was half conscious. Today it's supposed to be showers with gale-force winds. Just one shower so far, super cloudy and rain seems imminent. hope it doesn't rain later after work. don't want to walk to the gym in the rain even though i have an umbrella. *fingers crossed* Since joining the gym last tuesday, i've gone 6 times to attend various classes and walk on the treadmill. still cannot bring myself to run on the darn thing. legs refuse to move faster than 4.2 km/hr, which doesn't make sense to jog, so slow. ah well. i've just started this regime. i'm going to keep it up.
