Please Indulge Me. February 27, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — 家利 @ 7:30 pm

I’m on leave today. But I’m feeling a bit lousy lah.. I hope the weekend be better. You know.. Like, Liverpool winning tomorrow? That’ll cheer me up significantly.

Yes yes, a bit of humour left.

I’m so craving for Japanese curry right now. In fact, anything to do with Japanese would be great. Pickles. Maki. Cha soba. Dango. But its okay, my Subway sandwich is on it’s way home now.

 

Random: Commute. February 26, 2009

City Hall.

As that Caucasian walked thru the train doors, my eyes fell on that robin egg blue paper bag. Which female wouldn’t?

Hmm, slightly crumpled. And what’s this? A diary & brochures? Cannot be using it as a carrier.. Ooh. I caught sight of a smaller folded bag inside. And a box. Somewhere tonight, someone’s gonna light up with a big smile. Oh there’s another box. Three! Situations go thru my head.  No watch. No wedding band. Though well-dressed, his clothes were worn. Naturally faded jeans. Still, decent moccasins.

Orchard Road.

As he alights, my attention turned to a well dressed couple. Her branded bag first, actually. The smooth red inner lining of her checkered leather accessory. Black dress, black shoes. Then I notice the subtle details. Belt to match the bag, then hints of gold from her hoop earrings, zippers on her bag and insoles of her shoes.

Somerset.

Young couple boards the train. Boy, boring. Next. The girl with lovely wavy hair, stands beside the lady and continues texting. I like her highlights. Maybe in 15 years time she’d be like the lady beside her.

Toa Payoh.

All the ‘interesting’ people seem to have alighted. My feet are killing me. I look down at my inspired monochrome flats from Charles & Keith. Scuffed and dirty from some other event. But I’m glad I chose to wear these  today!

Have you ever wondered about the stranger next to you on your daily commute?

A random thought while staring down at the cars & cranes from a 49th floor lounge in the CBD..

Such is the vivid imagination of a child. And this reminds of me French classes! Haha.. Except I was trying to remember fraises à la crème or qu’est-ce vous desirez or something. Ahh, memories. =)

 

Loving Sundays. February 15, 2009

Another lovely day spent sleeping in.

Then there are things that remind us of days gone by. Like laundry and pasta. And then there’s CNN. Not that they are really gone. Just not as frequent.

Not that I mind.. =) Sunday will be here again soon.

My innards churn at the thoughts of stepping into Mc D’s or Colonel Sanders’.

In fact, complete loss of appetite at the thought going across the street for lunch!

Bah.

So I Survived Yesterday. February 7, 2009

Horridly busy but relatively smooth. I am so ruthless to my feet.

10-hour recovery period. Struck 2 poles. Now to see if I can survive my backlog and free myself for tomorrow.

Allez allez!

One thing I definitely agree.. Why they are there, and you are here.

The wonderful ability to be able to see things from where you are, to appreciate the finer things, the aesthetics.Versus the complete practicality, or the lack thereof in this case. I simply cannot spare the patience when my precious requirements are not met. Why else would I painstakingly list them out then?

Absurb waste of resources. Simply absurd.
