Fashion statement lol. When I get to her age (60s), I wouldn't want to be caught dead dressed like that. To each his/her own.

It has been a busy week of prepping for opening & press articles. The latter turned out great ! Big official do on Tuesday night & then after that we can breathe. Will pop down to the cineplex tomorrow & check out the sights.


Tomorrow night, a party at Dyran & Carol's to celebrate Dyran's birthday & fathers' day. Its just an excuse for a party lol.
Sarah is at church camp & will be back tomorrow night, in time for the party. Got her godpa a nice wine-red tie from zara. And for fathers' day, a nice biege linen shirt from there also.

Sarah got me two packs of sunflower seeds a couple of days ago. Sigh...am hooked on it again, butter flavoured sunflower seeds. Very yum leh.

Changed our package for cable vision & dropped the sports channels cos they have increased it too much. Plus we don't watch it much. Took up the movie & family packages. Paying a little more but getting more channels which are very interesting. It will be activated within 24 hours. Looking forward.

Watching SWAT now with ryan. Hubby is on a boys night out with old army buddies. He didn't drive.

Will probably go to ikea on Sunday to order the desks & drawers. Then to a fathers' day lunch perhaps. Or lunch first then ikea. Our weekends aren't usually planned. We just go with the flow.

I've finished reading The Good Women of China. It is written by a former radio presenter in China. She had a programme which explored the lives of Chinese women and relates tales from women who annonymously left their stories on the phone recording system & through interviews with some women. Sadly none are happy endings...different stories about how the women were oppressed, crushed, used & brutalized. The author no longer lives in China. She wouldn't have been able to pen this book if she did.

Have a friend on holiday in the US. She dropped me an email to ask if I would like anything...told her tar pau Johnny Depp & Gerard Butler lol. Have asked her to look out for the old tv series Roots. Can't get it here, only the audio CDs are available at Borders...duh.

I finally did my hair...its been almost 3 months since I had a nice trim & colour to cover the whites. Didn't realise till my stylist checked the records. Kept it much the same, just neater & no white hair lol.

Is this sentence, which is a signage, wrong & bad English ? "Please do not touch display". I had a discussion with a colleague on this. Her kids & hubby said bad english & that it should be "please do not touch the display". But I think both are acceptable. It is not bad english like something so glaring as "please do not touched display" or "please do not touching display". Straw polled a few other colleagues who agreed with me. Ah well...

Lament for the day : just been too tired & brain dead to blog more frequently.
