离开地球表面

Just bought Mayday's new CD. Very very happy and love the new songs, especially '离开地球表面‘。 Really makes you want to jump and leave behind all those silly, stupid, irritating things surrounding one's life. A good heady song to bop to while driving. I am sure Leonnie will be happy sitting in the car and finally hearing a different Mayday CD for a change. :)

Been playing pool also. Realized that wilk is alot better than I... it is sort of irritating but not because of the fact that he is better, but that i felt he is only better by fluke! Grrrrr.... but i think he will disagree... I don't know. Maybe he has his methods within the madness but from where i stand, it looks like freaky lucky shots to me. Sigh. Perhaps i am just jealous. Bleah.

So... work. Nothing much to say. Everything is as it should be. Oh. Did i mention that 2nd in command quit? Ya. Man... how... predictable. No big deal to me of course since i don't make it my point to make it be a big deal but some of those last minute 'subtle' hints to shape and control my realm of work does make me want to break something around me. No matter. In the end, what really counts? Certainly not a person who talks big and loud, but turn over and play dead right after. We all have our own cross to bear, so wish people would stop dumping their cross on me now that they have a chance to get rid of it.

Everyone is surviving in school. I am bug senseless at times by events and people here and there but nothing that makes me want to bang my head in frustrations yet. YET is the keyword here i think. The other PPGs are coping more or less but judging from their daily expressions, it wouldn't hurt for holidays to arrive sooner before they become more or less NOT coping. We still hear from Fei once in a while, and is eagerly anticipating more photos from her wedding photoshoot. Also awaiting her big debut as a lady boss once she finish up all those course and seminars.

Other big news... Angela is surviving in aussie... but i think she is feeling like things could be better (hey, just like us here in spore!) and life more stable with a future to look forward to. And, guess what, Kat decided to fly the friendly skies and just recently cryingly bid her kids goodbye. Big move but i think there is only that certain window of opportunity allocated for those selected few who can make it pass the not-so-friendly entry requirement of our local homegrown airline.

Parents are in Vietnam holidaying and Wilk is back from Germany. I am stuck in Spore wishing i could be somewhere else. Looks like the furthest i can go at this moment, is probably sentosa. Or tuas. Can't jump out of this little island... much less the Earth right? Well, i guess that's why i look forward to holidays and listen to Mayday CDs in the meantime.

Oh. How can i forget to write about this.... presently at least 3... or is it 4... of my friends are now blissfully pregnant or have just given birth. Wonder if this is some super hot season for us dragon ladies to have kids, but it is certainly giving my parents funny ideas which result in fairly explicit hints. Thankfully my in-laws have not gotten the wind of this 'interesting' chain of events or they would probably start on our case as well. Did i say probably? I meant most positively. Anyway, perhaps at a later stage but right now, this is one issue which i do not wish to confront. So... anyone else pregnant? Please don't tell me or my mom or my dad or worse... my in-laws.

Orangephoria

Painted our cement floor last week with Orange (yes you heard me right the first time..) epoxy paint and definitely threw a new dimension to the whole space. Wooahh wooahh.. it is seriously orange man... but so cool! Now the floor is shiny, smooth and ah.. orange! The dining table and bench (cum shoe cabinet) is also in (above pix, bottom left corner). Also in a funky black with orange underside. Thinking of whether to put castors under the bench so that it is easier to move it around, esp with the shoes inside, but that is going to wreck the sitting height. Hmm still considering.

Anyway, even the concrete counter top of the sink is also in orange now. Looks quite nice with the black/orange sink. Also up is our open concept worerobe from Alumix. Was highlighted by friends that clothes may get dusty, so we will monitor the situation and see how bad it is. For now, we like things pretty 'open'.

Well, what do you expect from people who will put glass sliding door to their own toilet? Incidentally, the reason the toilet bowl can't be seen in the above picture is because we have moved our fridge and alumix's cabinets into the toilet due to the painting of the floor.

The custom-made stainless steel bed frame and mattress were also in but the guys who did the bed frame needed to haul the whole thing back because the edges of the plate (for the mattress) needs to be more rounded and one of the castors under the bed needs to be changed because the brake was stuck. Should be back by next week.

Last weekend, we have also put up wilk's 2 lightbox transformers on the wall opposite the front door (we call them our 左右门神) and 1 in the study. They are bigger than we anticipated and quite intimidating. Ought to scare away bunglars i hope. Hahaha hopefully by next weekend, we should be able to start moving back all the appliances, get the bed back and fix up our shelves/study table/chairs from Ikea to complete the rest of the flat. Might need to fix some stuff on my own though because wilk will be travelling to Germany for a conference and taking the chance to catch the once in 5 years documenta held there. So he will be flying off this friday and staying for about 10 days. Hmm maybe i will just wait for him to come back. :P
