The Elusive Dress

A bit sad... I went to 3 different Dorothy Perkins shop yesterday just to find this particular dress. I saw it first last Wednesday at Marina Square. It was the last piece for that particular design and it was my size. Unfortunately, there was something wrong with it so I chose not to buy it then. So yesterday, before going to our swimming lessons, I went to Wisma Atria to see if they have it at their branch but they don't. I figured, there are still at least 5 or so Dorothy Perkins in Singapore that I can go and visit. After swimming and the movie, we went to Plaza Singapura and we found it there, again last piece and my size. To my dismay, there was also something wrong with that piece. The girl at that branch was nice enough to call the Raffles City Mall branch to ask if they also have it, and they do! So we went there to check it out. For the 3rd time, it was the last piece and still my size. But the big "but" is, it is also not in a very good condition... :( For a dress that'll cost me a hundred bucks, I at least want it to be in the best condition. Sigh... 

I guess I'll be doing a "Singapore mall tour" later or the coming week just to find this elusive dress. 

Tiptoes

I told a friend that whoever thinks that the world revolves around them and that every Facebook comment they read is about them is either conceited or just plain paranoid. 

And I won't be tiptoeing for their sake.

Point made.

names names names...

The tips of my fingers still hurt from trying to play the guitar. I want to learn so I bought one last week (Yey!). My lesson started last Saturday and other than my fingers feeling numb, everything else was fun. I still need to practice though. Have to go home early to be able to do so. I remembered having a discussion with a friend regarding how people choose names for their cars or even guitars. She actually named her guitar Peachy, her reason being that the color of her guitar is pink and she didn’t like the name pink so she chooses something close which is, well, according to her, Peach. I also shared how my family’s lack of creativity is apparent on how we name our pets. We named our dogs, Doggie, Chacha and Donut. We used to have a cat named Pussy and my sister named my car Chevy (definitely a give away). So I am now wondering if I should name my guitar. And if I would, what will it be? Wanted it to start with S or T. I’m considering the name Tyke because I like the sound of it but I also like the name Aika because of what it means. Or I may opt not to name it at all… Hmmm… I guess I’ll wait awhile before deciding. I’ll wait awhile until a name feels right…

I’m getting busier by the week, and this time, it has nothing to do with work which is, for now, is a good thing.

Stupid Me

Wish ko lang! ;)

I'm the type of person who makes lists. It keeps me organized and gives me a sense of calmness knowing that I am not about to forget something. The reason why I am saying this is because on the cab ride home from watching The Full Monty last Saturday, I had a specific list in mind. It is the list of traits or interests that I wish my (near? - I hope) future boyfriend will have:

- interest in music: playing an instrument or a good singing voice is a major plus

- smart: not necessarily a geek, but someone whom I'll learn a lot from

- athletic: can be basketball, football or swimming with the exception of boxing or anything that has a high probability of injuring or worse, killing him

- interest in books: someone well read is never bad

- a bit tall: a few (at least 3) inches taller than me

- smells good: I like it when a guy smells so good that I had to do a double take once I walk past him

- smile: I'm a sucker for guys with a sunny, contagious smile, top it up with a pair of (or even one) dimples and I'm gonna swoon

The odds of me finding a man who possesses all these is like 1 in a billion. And even if I did find him, he might already be married or taken. Oh well, as I said, this is just my "wish". And I know wishes and dreams seldom come true. Sigh...

Starlight, Starbright, first star I see tonight

I wish I may, I wish I might

Make my wish come true... even just for the night

;) Goodnight!

Start of the End

After over a year of OTYs and unreasonable work hours

After turning down the opportunities presented to me

After seeing almost everyone go

I decided to Start the End

It's a different feeling than before when the previous offer was presented to me. This time, I didn't feel scared or unsure. I felt rather excited and relieved. I felt happy and comfortable with my decision. I felt good.

I think our era for the "project" has ended. Almost all of us who was there at the start already left or are leaving. It's time for the newbies to take over and prove themselves. Because like us, when the "project" started, they don't have any other choice but to stay.

I'm pretty sure I've disappointed a few people with this decision, but I know that those who are really special to me will understand. And that's enough for me. 

It's time to Start the End.

Going Full Monty!!!

It was a blast. It was soooo funny and refreshing. We didn't really expect that much it being a local production, but man was it good. They did stick to the story line, the songs and singing were ok (not broadway but good). We really didn't know what to expect since we are still in Singapore and certain rules apply but they did not disappoint the crowd, specially the girls in the crowd.. ;)

I'm glad we were able to watch it. Too bad for those who decided not to join us. They still have next week though.

Waiting

Spent too much time waiting

Anticipating

For something, anything

Anxious

Hoping and wishing

Trying to go about not thinking

Still wondering

When will it come

Patience, time

Give me patience

While I still have time
