[I found the last sentence hilarious. Does anyone understand it the way I do? And what's with so much singlish, le petit dictionary?]

Wish Upon A Star

s t a r m | s t June 6th, 2006

Half hour off, and I was immediately on the train back west because I couldn’t wait to get home. No biggies, no expected surprises, no flashy splashy celebrations. Just that.. my loved ones were at home [or heading back], waiting for me, waiting to be with me.

All my pleasures are homey ones: cosy warmth, the laughter and love of those who have always been around. All I ask for are humble delights. An interesting novel in bed, the sweet taste of chocolate and strawberries, a quiet night in, good food, presents from the heart, warm hugs and kisses, presence. These are things that I longed for today, albeit simple, but sufficient for me.

Have I mellowed?

Test of Time

My mum is a very cute mum.

Mum: Can you help me top up my Ez link card? *passed me a tenner and her ATM card*
Me [deadpanned]: Are you planning to give me an unlimited shopping spree birthday treat? I need the pin number.
Mum: ??
Me [devilishly]: =)
Mum: Oh, oh… *dug around in her wallet and passed me her NTUC link card*
Me: ….. *whines* Muuummmmm, that’s not the Ez link card either..
Mum: Ooops. =/

Feeling oh-so-bluey, and it’s not just because today is Monday. =(

As You Like It

s t a r m | s t June 4th, 2006

I never liked working on Saturdays but I thoroughly enjoyed myself yesterday.

Some of us went back to work as we have organised an art workshop for the children. It was a simple activity and most work were taken care of by the volunteer artists and a carelink HOD, so the lot of us just facilitated whatever else we would, such as…

being the ‘catering committee’,

photo-whoring with food,

illegally participating in the drawing / painting [just look at how happy we were getting caught],

The kids were so sweet and endearing, I would love to feature them here but that wouldn’t be a very smart move.

Our completed artworks!
