Nothing very exciting or depressing has been happening lately, so nothing really inspiring or very thought-provoking and thus i don't really know what to blog about- except maybe this dress. It's on sale now as UO.com, but it hasn't fallen within the must-get range yet, so i'm not hovering over the order/comment button, just checking on it every now and then-

i bought some stuff and they arrived recently and to my dismay/delight all of it amazingly fit me, like a glove, which means none to resell. Whatever i got was mostly for work, and even those not for work were items that i'd 99.9999% wear on weekends when i head out, nothing fanciful or extravagant. very useful and dowdy. I know i have an enviable closet of affordable dress- most of which i do not (have the chance/occasion to) wear.... which is why i am trying my best to sell these things.

But this dress..... i'll just keep thinking about it.

Secretly a part of me is waiting for it to either go out of stock online or get it's price slashed to the 'MUST BUY' range so i don't have to suffer the dilema of deciding for myself.

Just realised i have 20-30 movies stocked up on my laptop and computer that i haven't watched at all. Qiuhan wants to come over during the weekend so i guess we might be bumming around in my living room watching movies or playing cluedo if we manage to get enough people-

and geez to illustrate how you can bum at home i even tried to find a photo for it (left). Very appropriate, IMO. and waddaya know, the picture is accompanying an article about angry US teens been too lazy to run away from home. lol. Beat the NEETs hands down man.

School's start again and it feels funny to not be a part of it- and also rather strange that it's the Timbre musicfest on campus but i'm not there. I guess i'm kind of missing being passively participating (ok is that an oxymoron) in the 'arts scene' or engaging in arty farty activities, particularly with hc, who's busy bringing her colleagues from taiwan and hongkong around sg, or miss hah, who's busy with her new job at MOF.

and i don't know why- but i've been thinking particularly a lot about picnicing, like say maybe at the botanic gardens.

i'd have a red criss cross checked picnic cloth like the one in the picture, and maybe make egg salad or some sandwiches with cheese and lettuce- i don't know what the girls would make but at least they're not handicaps in the kitchen like yours truly, so pot luck would be really exciting, i think. Just a nice saturday/sunday morning to bathe in the sunlight, sit around on the nicely cut grass, get bitten by mosquitoes, talk and take photos of everyone. It would be so nice.

i've been wanting to do something more eventful or take photos and enjoy my short-lived freedom while it lasts, before i hit the office, but my semi-foot impairment is really frustrating me. I know i should be thankful (and i am, really) that i can walk even, but having to walk at grandma pace and take Japanese-housewife-style steps is really killing me.

I know every thing that happens is a learning experience and darn hell i am learning alright. Learning to take things slowly- which i really quite dislike. As per the typical Singaporean, I walk super fast, because i think walking is a waste of time, but it's not really a matter of choice now, i guess.

Borrowed a couple of books- and also have my sketchbook out, finally.

Might actually get some real reading and work done over the weekend- gotta stop procrastinating! i hope the next time i login to blogger, i get some real inspiration.
