*330 - head in the clouds

I nearly tore off my fingernail at work while making desserts in a flurry yesterday. (Something to do with catching my fingernail while struggling to open a box of oreos, silly me.) Time to cut the fingernails! I don't keep them super long for vanity's sake, it's laziness, plus the fact that my fingers feel tender and naked when my nails are too short.

Okay, I just trimmed them. (:

Since I'm sort of on the topic of work: last night, I tried the lavender tea, and discovered it to be the foulest tea I've ever tasted. Lavender, in small amounts, smells heavenly, but as a drink, it's kind of nasty. (Similar concept to drinking perfume or, um, eating flowers.) I tried diluting the tea, I tried adding honey, but in the end I couldn't take more than a sip or two.

Shudder.



The reason why I'm talking about this is the fact that upon discovering that I actually have a pot of dried organic lavender flowers at home, I got all excited and decided to bake maple lavender biscotti.

Now I'm wondering if I should continue with my plans because if my lavender biscotti turns out as inedible as my lavender tea turned out undrinkable, I would be very, very sad.

Since I'm sort of on the topic of work again: I need to get down to bringing my camera to work, because they just jazzed up the interior with these humongous pictures of the food/drinks/desserts. Yum.

-

And this is still sort of on the topic of work: Walking past the carpark to work yesterday, I was stopped dead in my tracks by the most perculiar sight of a cat merrily peeing on a motorcycle. I didn't know cats peed like that!! It's tail was pointing straight upwards, and its pee was shooting out perfectly horizontally!! Is that normal or was it a cat with powerful peeing skills!!

I stood there gaping for so long that a waiter from the nearby cafe popped out to take a look too. (I quickly went on my way.)

I thought that my black & white and/or polkadot loving phases would pass, but apparently not! Somebody stop meee.

I do vaguely recall walking around Millenia Walk with Desmond one day (maybe a month ago) and telling him how pretty this particular white cushion with flowery black designs was. And moments later, we kinda realised that I was wearing a white top with flowery black designs.

Haha.

Since I'm already being bimbotic: I need to trim my hair! My fringe is wacky, my layers have grown out, and the top part of my head is flat and shapeless.

I also need to start exercising again, to counteract my appalling food intake. But I kind of like the atrophying-effect slothing has on my leg muscles.

The boys have POPped! (: Now this is slightly weird because I wasn't at the ceremony, but I thought this was a very nice picture taken by Justin's daddy:


(Cropped to remove fat-boy-with-camera who was spoiling the photo.)

(Hope you don't mind me putting up the photo!)

Congrats boys (:

Brightsparks appears to be down. I can't submit my application. Hoho.

Too many last minute applications, just like mine.

I shall sit here and refresh till it's up.

[edit] SUBMITTED! :D
