Woot.

We did it, we got Debbs a stripper! He was a sailor-man. Ahoy! Complete with a shiny maroon thong. But really, he looked so much better (and hairless) online. Apparently he used to be in the Argentinian rugby team in his younger days. 10,000 points to Debbie for being ultra sporting, even when she had [...]

Leisurely Sunday.

Posted by: yibis on: January 28, 2007

Magma books — visual heaven, but pretty heavy-handed on the pocket.
Paul’s latte for me, and pastries for friends. No sugar in my coffee, I’ve been reformed! I used to empty four packets of sugar into a large tea.

Buying stuff for others (without the pressure of an impending birthday) feels good, as always.
I saw a man [...]

Ache.

Marrakech. On the rooftop of this Kasbah overlooking the Atlas mountains, sipping mint tea. Let’s go, guys! (okay, hefty price tag notwithstanding)

****
Would. Kill. For. A Thai massage. Now.
(Bangkok again sometime, Joicey, Zhi and Ivy?)
Dreams, almost every night.
Anyone in London needs anything from Amazon.co.uk? I need about 4 more squid for a free delivery.

Warm & Toast-y.

I blame it on the utterly freezing weather — my newfound affinity for online shopping, that is. And also the fact that I received the Toast archive sale brochure today in the mail. A lot of good stuff had already been sold out by the time I loaded the site. I suspect all those [...]

Band Geek.

A few days ago, I borrowed La Puta and Nausicaa DVDs from a friend. To the uninitiated, they are some of the older creations of Hayao Miyazaki, the guy who did Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro (below, stolen from my sister’s blog. we both loved it).

I last watched La Puta 6 years ago, sitting [...]

Photos.

I’ve uploaded some of December’s photos (Venice, London and Singapore) onto Flickr!

Burning bridges.

So it’s done.
One final call from graduate recruitment of firm X. The poor woman sounded like she was trying very hard to be professional and suppress her anger, repeating “Well, listen..” and “we are very disappointed” a few times. It did work though, she did make me feel guilty. And I couldn’t help but hear [...]

Shine On / Jet

Please don’t cry
Although I leave you here this night
Where I go, how far I don’t know
I will always be your light
If the moon had to run away
All the stars didn’t wanna play
Don’t waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away
When the days all feel the same
Don’t feel the cold [...]
