*311 - so close your eyes


(With Elisa's sexy secretary specs.)

I've been so pampered as of late, so much so that taking the bus to town now seems like a dreadful chore. Dear me. It must be so awesome being able to drive and having a car at your disposal. Mmm. Perhaps I should get cracking and sign up for driving lessons soon, heh heh.

It's kind of funny seeing that ever since I turned 18 last May, I never felt inclined to watch any M-18 shows, until last month, and since then I've watched 2 more. Some horrible alien show (but I watched it with the best company possible so that's okay), Babel (very thought-provoking and artistic, loved it) and Little Children (droll at times but acutely poignant, loved it too).

-

Not counting the angbao from my parents, I got more angbao money visiting the home of, um, an "unrelative" than the amount I received from my relatives. Then again, I don't even know how those "relatives" are related to me, and I didn't go visiting. I'm not complaining of course, and in all honesty I would be perfectly happy with no angbao money at all, but just saying, because I think it's funny.

Last night was my worst night at work ever. The day was good, because of some friendly, chatty customers, and because Justin Wenloong Tubby paid me a visit. (Thanks boys!) But the night sucked, I just got so fed up with the crowd. (Plus, we were out of forks. And everybody needs forks, how can I blame them for getting impatient?) Come to think about it, I've always had a genuine smile on my face when I serve customers because it's fun, really it is, but last night was the first time I had to plaster it on.

-

I've been neglecting my E&E customers. But I'm getting tired of making earrings. The inspiration tends to come in waves, so I'll be bouncing back soon, I promise.

So close your eyes
For thats a lovely way to be
Aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
The fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together


Try listening to Olivia, a Singaporean singer. (Especially if you like bossa nova.) I'm a fan! I'm usually very sceptical of anything to do with the local arts scene (whoopsies) but I'm in love with this girl's voice.

Plus, she reminds me of something ... very special. (:
