Thailand’s really pretty at 6ish in the morning 
This trip has been quite okay so far, I wasn’t particularly looking forward to coming here actually. But I guess when you have no expectations, things will turn out quite good! I had my curry rice two nights back!
The scab on my left elbow from the fall the other day isn’t healing as nicely as I thought it would 
I was sending some work documents over to Spain, then being the curious me, I started googling for the address and one thing led to another. Yes, I’m still not over my Spanish fantasy though it’s been like 1.5 years!
While all of you enjoy your public holiday, my body forced me out of bed at 7am sharp this morning. So here I am clearing work before I head to get my brows done in the afternoon. Yes the mad grooming rush has started.
Anyway, our ClubCouture flair A/W will be launched soon!
Click on the image to get a sneak peak at our lookbook before we launch it officially. And me thinks the black party dress is a total must get for all those festive parties coming up!
If you were wondering, yes the title is inspired by the novel by Pearl Buck. It was my literature text back in secondary school and I loved that book. Daddy did that book too during his school days and I remember the discussions we used to have over ice cream about the plot and all <3
Less than a week now! xxxx
Okay, I think people who choose a military career are admirable, but only if they do so because they want to serve their nation and are willing to put the country before self. Every other reason like it’s an iron rice bowl, light working hours, good salary, easy job etc is just damn nonsense and I think it’s very sad if these people join the armed forces for these crappy reasons. You soldier boys should be willing to die any time for your country!
Anyway, recently Mindef recently launched these new TVCs to encourage people to consider an army career. Can someone tell me how is this commercial supposed to make any sense? Okay so it’s true that military men are “smart, outgoing, adventurous and get to travel” (I totally agree :p) BUT how is a bunch of girls talking about this over coffee and then a dashing-guy-in-uniform walking in going to get the right people to join the military for the right reasons?
Anyway the “best part is, he always has time for me” bit (at least that’s what I think the lead actress said) is so not true okay
After Siew’s many falls + Jen’s massive fall (torn tendon, surgery required = no joke!), it’s my turn I ended up knocking my head against the ground and scraping my elbow
And I’m really afraid that I’ll turn retarded and/or have a bad scar on my arm.
Spent Saturday evening with the PR babes and ended up staying till 1am to catch up over yummy tapas, sangria and paella. Holiday dreams, men issues, family madness and all things girly. And I suppose with four (out of six) of us seeing military men, we’d inevitably talk about them. (“If you have to choose between looking after your sick wife and going to war, which would you choose?”)
And I manged to sleep in today and have a glorious rainy afternoon with just me, fatbear and the Sunday Times. The uncle moved in on Friday and tonight we’re going out for dinner (abalone yums!).
Me thinks the weekend couldn’t have gotten any better. Well, except that jungle boy was literally in some jungle and I didn’t hear from him for two days. But a good phone conver this afternoon more than made up for it. I know I mention a lot about the boy here, but the truth is, I miss him like crazy and I don’t really want to whine too much to my friends and drive them nuts. It amazes me everyday how this rs is so good (I can’t think of a better word!) and how I can be so into him (though it also scares me sometimes! zzz)
Okay, got to shower and head out for dinner. I sense a great week ahead for me – short work week of two days, public holiday, Bangkok then the boy comes back (keeping my fingers crossed!)
P.S. Makeup wonders:-

I just realized that men in camo face paint are incredibly sexy. Maybe it’s the whole military men idea.
The thing is, I discovered this while surfing Facebook randomly and I ain’t sure if I can look at my friend-in-camo-face-paint in the same light anymore. Heh.
What a productive way to end the week – I managed to clear all my outstanding emails, reconciled the stocklist, closed my month for October and it’s only 6:14pm! yayness!
And I managed to pop by the doctor during lunch to get my chicken pox vaccination. AND the best part is, the doctor was totally awesome cause the jab didn’t hurt at all.
Great start to the weekenddddd!
ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
Okay, November is passing way too fast for me. We are almost halfway through the month and next week I’ll be flying again and I’ll return a day before the boy (that is, if his return date doesn’t change again. I guess no one can know exactly when he’s returning till he’s actually on the plane back!). That leaves me with barely enough time for the eyebrow/ waxing/ nails mumbo jumbo and then there’s the stock take, year end closing and I had wanted to make a trip to the dentist, doctor (GP – chicken pox vaccination, after Joanne’s horror story of her friend who contracted it 3 weeks before his wedding) and doctor (aesthetic – for the routine laser and I wanted to give Botox a shot). Where do you people find time for life?
