Refrying Fried Rice

Me to hubby: What is TMNT?
Hubby: ……………….. Ta Ma Te (ta-ma-de)
Me (triumphantly): Wrong! It's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
I never quite like them, not cute, not nice, not handsome, not pretty. Where’s the appeal? Probably because by the time they hit the market, I was past kiddy age and hence they did not appeal to me. But after so long, they are being resurrected, it’s like ‘chao leng fan’ (in Cantonese)…. Still, at their promo show in Marina Sq last week, kids were obediently superbly responsive to them (Do you want to see them? Kids: YEEEEESSSSS!)
I like the turtles in Finding Nemo better.

The demise of my favourite brand

Someone sent an email to me with these pics. Exactly what I have been thinking about.





I dun understand what Marc Jacobs was thinking about. What's with the layered unstructured and 'busy looking' clothes? And the bag.. oh gosh, really cheapskate.. what China people carries. Why cant he just stick to tried and tested bags with new colours? Eg: Multicolor LV monogram in pink. But then again, its good that the bags do not suit my taste. Then I wont have the urge to spend money.

Rainy Day Grouchings

It always rain at my office area in the early evenings. What is worse than a sudden downpour just when it's time to knock off? The answer to me, is a tie between a thunderstorm in the morning when it's time to wake up for work, or when you are about to step out of the house. The former makes you want to sleep in. Is this God's way of telling me I should take half day morning? There is a great sense of reluctance to get out of bed when you think about what lies ahead (braving a thunderstorm). Still, with immense hesitation, I pull myself out of bed. In the other scenario, just when you are all dressed up and about to leave the house, the dark clouds that had been gathering, break out into heavy rain with howling winds illuminated by lightning flashes and roars of thunder in the background. Oh gosh, is this the Mother of all storms? Going back to bed is not a choice since I'm all awake and had spent the last half hour dressing up, I did not want to waste my effort. Pai mia ah... having to get up early to work is already very cham, and now such tough hurdles to cross.

Fast fwd the journey, I finally reached office, and lo behold, there's no rain in this area! Thank goodness I still made it to work on time. I dun think my boss will understand my predicament (if I'm late) as it isnt raining at where she stays.
