Ok, I've had it.
This slack of mine.
Very, very, very large inertia, and I'm still not quite over it yet.
Still trying my very best.
I love you, blogspot.
I'll still come back to see you.
But I need to go away somewhere else.
Maybe for long. Maybe for a short while.
Maybe I'll even be back.
Trust me, you've got nicer fonts here.
Wordpress ones, eeew.
Folks, come see me at my new place: http://theoriginalfatmama.wordpress.com/
Let's hope this works out this time.
*Toes crossed*

Red Kung Fu Shoes
My red kung fu shoes are dope, aren't they?
Have them in blue too. No cushioning, can't wear in the rain - but sure I feel like I can fly.

Moncler Retrievers
This. Is. Soooper duper cute.
Bruce Weber for Moncler.
The campaign features some interesting images including Weber’s own Golden Retrievers donning customized quilted down dog hoodies...
I refuse to believe these are all his.

Kitchen
One of my most favorite places in the world now has got to be my kitchen.
And it must've been rather obvious; as Simon says, "You really take pride in your kitchen huh." With a chuckle, as he watches me wash up every single equipment and clean out every corner of the countertops - before and after our feast.
It's true. I love my kitchen.
Times when the nighttime social activities seem to intensify a bit, and I don't get to hang out in my lovely apartment or lie in bed and pop in a movie after a long day at work, I start to feel dissociated from my flat.
Recently, for a couple of odd reasons, I've started waking up at six on a couple of mornings so I can prepare lunch from scratch. (Why do you have to wake at six, asks a friend. Because I have to cook rice. Why can't you cook it overnight so you can sleep an extra hour?? I don't know... Because I like to cook it fresh. Inexplicable. Incomprehensible.)
Waking at six probably ranks high up on Mom's list of Top Ten Miracles in the world. I would definitely top that list if she knows I wake at six to cook.
There's nothing quite as peaceful for me these days, as a peaceful morning spent in my kitchen. The first fifteen minutes would be - as per any other usual morning - part groggy, part irritable. But I'd never known I could feel this fresh in the morning, as I start putting the rice into the cooker, make a cup of coffee, sometimes a smoothie, check some web sites on the mac, and then start cooking.
Most mornings I'd put music on in the living room, and dance in the kitchen. I'd open the windows in the kitchen, listen to the morning sounds outside - birds that sing, cars that pass, not too much but just about enough to indicate the springing of life to the world. In summertime, this is also probably the best time of my day, you get a cool breeze passing through your kitchen, and the sun has not yet shone onto my white walls.
For the next hour or so, I'd flit to and fro between mac and kitchen. Maybe make a second cup of coffee. No one's awake online yet. So I check really frivolous web sites. Maybe pop my head into the wardrobe and think about what to wear. Then when I think it's time, I start the real work. I don't really check recipes these days. I cook really simple. And I just know what I want to eat - usually fish, since it's always easier to get chicken or other meat when I eat out. And as long as I have soy sauce, vinegar and mirin these days, all's good to go. Sometimes, I start ransacking the fridge box and see what else I could throw into the lunchbox that day. Mushrooms, spinach, chilli, peppers, eggs are the usual accomplices.
The funny thing is, when all's done (including the obsessive washing up) and I'm all showered and dressed up, I get out of the house and still get to work earlier than usual.
Well, I just get zonked out after lunch.
Maybe I have my continued insomnia to thank for these beautiful, peaceful mornings I'm enjoying these days.

Hua Hin
The crew - yes, the whole crew - actually pulled it off one weekend in March.
The getaway. From the office, to the beach.
We kinda got ourselves into deep shit after. We are now banned from taking mass leave. Hiak.
A rather bad timing for me, I was grieving for my baby during the trip. I had no real interest for anything else but just lying under the sun and drinking Bailey's coffee every morning. I finished a book, and I missed my baby terribly. Especially every time I tried to go into the waters.
Nonetheless, we had good fun. The whole crew did.
We ate. We played cards. We dumped losers into the pool at 3 in the morning. We devoured the night markets. Some even got tattoos and learned how to ride a bike.
I am thankful, I feel very blessed. That wherever I have called my workplace, I have found real good friends.

Change
I kinda think, every now and then, this page needs a revamp altogether.
I don't know.
Change is always good, I suppose.

Bentos & Onigiris
Been waking up at six in the mornings. Just like that *snaps finger*
So far, two bento boxes and eight onigiris.
Mom would've been so proud of me.

Toast to Toastbox
Joy to the world!
Kopi-O in my neighborhood!
Even if it costs bloddy two-fifty sing-dollars, and I have to walk an extra 10 minutes in the sweltering summer-mornings to get hold of it.
