reaping and sewing

so after a long spate of much eating out and staying in, i've decided to take it a note lower to eating in and staying in for this stretch... other than giving me time to reflect on how i shouldthe task at hand...

cranberry and mascarpone sponge cake. lemon drizzle cake.

endeavour to be more of a domestic goddess, it's also given me time to enjoy the company of close friends huddled in my tropically-temperatured living room watching the weird and wonderful films available on dvd....


meanwhile, we've learnt (the funny way) that english-dubbed cantonese films just does nae work....

priceless lines from Hardboiled:

1. " There's no need to kill my men, Jonny!"
   Alan: "He's right, Johnny, no need to waste bullets on shit."
   
2. "You saved the day, piss-pot!"
   
3. "Give the guy a gun and he's superman, give him two and he's god."

Arthritis drug gets NHS approval

well, so i leave for glasgow tonight. this whole trip back's been a bit of a madness.... there is a chinese belief that when a chinese family on a voyage eats fish, they aren't allowed to flip the fish for fear of ill luck on the voyage.... no one can choose what happens to them in life.. but it's how you deal with such circumstances that matters.

fall in the boat....

and everytime i come back, it's always another burst in the sky of fireworks, of love, of mirth, of the kinship of the friends who grew up in the same microenvironments, the same environments, the same singapore. and then we part...

and then it's the same you get everywhere - the same difference. the same souls looking for the same sense of belonging.

the long kiss goodnight

dear peoples, i beg your pardon for the dearth of posts of late.. my mind has been a-wander on all things new, bright and beautiful...

'We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not to those who wait too late'
We got to go for all we know

24 hour weather

it's feels so much like air-conditioning... the coolness of the air, not a crisp cool that cuts, but a soft cool, as soothing as warmth from a soft sun. making me reminisce of the comforts of home... the cool bubble of comfort in our controlled, tightly-tweaked utopian paradise. :)

to have and to hold
