Blah

There has been so much work at the office, that it’s no longer funny. I’m scared that I’m gonna be bogged down by this and I’ll give up somewhere along the way. Funnily enough, I’m not too scared whether the people at the office will be disappointed in the way I work; what concerns me more is whether I’ll someday get sick of all this and end up hating it with a passion.

I hope that won’t be the case, so I’m just trying to make the most of things as I go.

Day 8 at the apartment and I still haven’t swum at all. I’m getting all jittery just thinking about it; I have to swim!

My winter look

I had this epiphany yesterday that I’m going to wear quirky-patterned crew-neck jumpers with a good pair of jeans in winter. Then I’ll alternate between flats and my trusty loafers, depending on whether it’s super cold or not. Love it!

Friday loco

It’s Friday and I couldn’t be more glad that it is. It’s been a busy week, and everything’s just been happening all at once at the office. But at the same time, though, the fact that it’s been busy made this weekend all the more worthwhile; feels like I’ve earned the next 3 days off. It’s so exciting that it’s gonna be the long weekend!

Anyhow, I was watching one of those “20 to 1″ specials on TV last night, and the topic was about celebrity going AWOL, and naturally RDJ was included. And that’s made me all the more think that it’s so good that nobody talks about his bad past anymore. Sure, they’ll always drop the ‘bad-boy’ term here and there when talking about him - after all, can’t turn back time and what have you – but it just occurred to me last night, while I was watching this TV special and the screen was splattered with his mug shots and caps from his prison days, that he’s successfully made new impressions on people and that he is now the ’successful actor’ rather than the ‘guy who did time in prison’. Like, I think that’s pretty amazing.

This is so bad, but this lamb and spinach curry that I’m currently having is so good!

Hump day shenanigans

What a day at the office today was! I didn’t get out till 6.30 PM – which is not too bad, but it felt like a long day, anyway – trying to tie things up. Although I didn’t get to tie up as much as I would’ve liked to, but whatever. One step at a time, I guess.

But after all that drama at work, I eventually had a lovely dinner with K tonight. It was just good to catch up with her, talking shit and telling each other what we’ve been up to in the past 3 months. It was a nice, girly, bonding session.

I’m glad that tomorrow is Thursday. Then the next day will be Friday and it’ll be the long weekend, before the family is coming on the Wednesday. I’m looking forward to the next couple of weeks.

Probation

I’m currently liking the taste of jasmine green tea with sugar and - wait for it – milk. I’ve always had it cold as pearl green milk tea, but now I’m actually quite liking the hot version.

I still can’t get over how wonderful the experience of Moonlight Cinema was. Yes, it was raining a few times throughout the film, but towards the end of the night when the moon came out above the trees in the park and it was so bright, it was just really pretty.

I’m gonna go see K tomorrow night; pretty excited to be able to catch up with her after her long trip.
