a mail that could launch a thousand smiles


it's 2 am now, i know... but I just have to write this entry.


after and hour or so of packing, i decided to send krysse a picture from mimi's bday party.... and voila!!! right in front of me, finally, an email from someone so dear. i've been telling a couple of friends how i haven't heard from him in months and he never even sent a greeting on my bday. well, well, well.... he read my mind.

i am sooooo happy. i'm smiling even while writing this and i know i will continue to smile till my lips are tired.

to you, thanks. hell, u sure made my day!

will and grace..... wag wag wag


i am so thrilled!!! i rediscovered one of my all time fave tv series, Will and Grace! it is wickedly H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S. Will, Grace, Jack and Karen bombard their audiences with just nothing but top grade wit and sense of humor. This is my most favourite scene.


****
Jack and Karen's famous credit card scene...

Jack: acts like swiping the credit between Karen's boobs
Karen: 'Denied'
Jack: acts like swiping the credit between Karen's boobs (2nd time)
Karen: 'Denied'
Jack: acts like swiping the credit card 'in' Karen's butt
Karen: 'Approve!'
****

I recommend it to all of you. It's the perfect fill to an otherwise lousy evening or boring sunday.


i wanna be a dutch milkmaid


my colleagues and i were off to hunt for the best national costumes we could wear to our department's dinner to be held next week. i was actually thinking of donning a dutch milkmaid's costume. it wasn't a spur of the moment choice. for some time now i had always pictured myself in a milkmaid's dress: the detailed colourful top (preferably with something floral), apron, skirt, head scarf and wooden shoes! haha. i was prolly one in my past life. just imagine me in a dutch countryside, with of course a windmill in the background, milking cows. wait, how exactly could these women milk cows in these dresses? that's another story.

there were a gazillion of options: thai, filipino, spanish, mexican, egyptian, korean, japanese, chinese, and a whole lot more. mitch found herself this shiny goldish egyptian costume a.k.a cleopatra. marlon chose for himself the celtic look, the bagpipe is still missing though. odette, like me, is still looking for that perfect costume.

we were all astonished at how much rental for these clothes cost but heck we seldom get to dress up like this. this rare occurence justifies the amount.

i couldn't quite put my finger on the right costume. no eureka moment, special connection whatsoever. i want something bright and jolly! something that screams funky! blimey, the hunt is definitely not over yet. i still have exactly a week to pick out that fabulous costume! wish me luck!

***********************

a pleasant surprise i found in the myriad of clothes and accessories was uncle sam's hat. yeap, that classic hat! ain't it cute? hmmm.....maybe an all american printed bikini and uncle sam's hat would make a perfect costume, watya reckon? =)

mah' men!


friends, lovers and countrymen..... let me introduce you to mah' men.



yummy happy meal! oooh-la-la!

and here is my IDEAL man...



i am utterly speechless!

*wink* *drool* *faint* *die*

after a long day's work...


...i wish i could be pampered with an aromatherapy massage
...i wish i could devour one pint of extremely good ice cream
...i wish i could down a 1L mug of Paulaner Weisbier
...i wish i could jet off to Maldives & spend the night there
...i wish i could empty my mind of the day's events
...i wish i could fly and feel so carefree
...i wish i could have a late night date with Brad Pitt
...i wish i could disapparate into Harry's or Alice's world
...i wish i could 'cuddle, cuddle' with someone special
...i wish someone would tickle my feet until i fall asleep
...i wish someone would give me a long soft wet kiss

stop...enough of this! i'm wondering off to neverland again.

but who wouldn't object to these after a gruelling day at work?

absolutely nobody.
