I'm not here, neither.

Caught this movie on my way back to The United States. I've been pretty slow catching up with movies since I moved from SF. 

My favourite bits include mainly scenes with Cate Blanchett's and Heath Ledger's portrayal of Bob Dylan. Especially Cate. Oh my~ That's what a great actor is. Seamless presentation of any character she plays. She made the whole movie worthwhile. Richard Gere's parts were kinda redundant. Christian Bale disappointed me (I thought his accent was very awkward for him). The small boy's scenes were pretty entertaining. Oh, almost forgot about that young punk whose scenes were quite forgettable, that is.

I'm still suffering from jetlag— I sleep at about 9pm and wake up at 7am. Yes, that's kinda abnormal for me. Although it is a refreshing change not to be rushing madly to work every morning and is still late.

Thanks for the wonderful memories! My vacation was golden, every moment. I've posted my drunkard photos on facebook and Lesie's wedding pics up in my flickr if you would go check it out. Bali and other random annoyingly cute vacation pics of SG will be up during the weekend I think.

Did I mention work was crap before I left? Well, it still is.

See you soon~

On landing, the stewardess said, "Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you're going to leave anything, please make sure it's something we'd like to have."

This will probably be my last post for the month. I will be going to Singapore & Bali for the next 2 weeks. 

REJOICE!

I'll either be in your life again, or out of it for the period.

adios.

blah.

There hasn't been anything much going on in my life except for work, work and work. And I am refraining myself from blogging about work JUST IN CASE this will ever be seen by their eyes. I've heard ppl getting into trouble about blogging about and during work (I am guilty of the latter right now but my boss has left the building).

Despite it being a drag, I feel I'm appreciated by my boss and all my hard work will be a great reflection of my earnestness and talent. Yah, talent. I gotz it.

I was sent on my first solo client trip to SF a few days ago. Though I was not the first choice (the 1st is my boss), I felt good that I'm actually trusted to represent the agency. My only regret is that I didn't get to stay overnight in SF to meet up with my left-behind friends. Next time, I think, when I am the boss.

I guess I am totally talking about work right now when I just said I won't.

I should stop now and just show u something I feel for some colleagues.

The cat look exactly like my ex-bf's cat.

Grasshopper Chair!

Does it look like me?

cooking

I remember anxiously picking out this recipe which I've been dying to try when the girls were visiting me almost 2 months ago(gasp! Has it really been 2 months?OMG moment.)

I think we bought that frozen chicken breast together(Miss Tan & I), which date this piece of meat to be almost 2 months old but when kept in the freezer I think it shouldn't matter. Right? Right? Alas, I never had the chance to roll up my sleeves and demo my superb cooking skills to them as they end up experiencing America as the Great Fast Food Nation. (Wendy's, In-N-Out, Chick-fil-A.....you name it.)

I feel cooking for one is as boring as it gets, not to mention all that fuss for the washing+preparation and storing the leftovers. But I still do it anyways, I gotta eat. D always say that I'm "So-Love" when I take care of myself like that. 

So, is it avocado season? I start to see it in every grocery store I go to. I have so fallen in love with this fruit-veggie. I used to hate it when I taste it in my California rolls. I guess it grew on me, especially when I became obsessed with Guacamole (a South-American avocado-based dip) all of a sudden. Sigh, woman.

  

What I tried today is a recipe from Everyday Food mag — Cayenne-rubbed Chicken with avocado salsa. (Click on name for online recipe)

Everyday Food specializes in providing easy-to-prepare recipes for lazybusy people like me & you. Did I forget to mention Cayenne is an awesome spicy spice that I learnt to use from Shawn(1 of the rare good things I learnt from her).

Sha-Zamm!

Looks good eh? I am extremely proud of myself for fixing such a quick and delicious dinner. I love how the spicy-ness and the avocado's dense texture complimented each other perfectly. I added an extra dash of Cayenne coz' I know I like it hot. I also chose to cut my chicken breast into thinner slices rather that the usual huge chunk of meat for a more delicate eating experience. I girl what!

Okay lah, now you go try and let me know how it goes.

update: My recipe verdict 8/10

Stop this crazy world.

If you have been reading US news, you will know about this shocking Texas state seizure of women and children from a certain religion's ranch.

If you're an adult, no one can stop you from being in any religion, from squids to teapots, whatever you like. But PLEASE, let the helpless children alone! My heart aches when I read about hundred of children, probably really confused and upset right now, being abused and inhumanely deceived from the day they're born. 14 year-olds are married to disgusting men 3 times their age so that the filthy men could, supposedly, attain a faster way to Heaven.

FUCKING ARSEHOLES. Find your own fucking way to heaven, for goodness' sake!!! Stop wasting these innocent lives! As if you'll get there with your sick, sick ways. GOSH!

Okay. I just get really mad whenever I think about child abuse. I have so much to say about upbringing of an innocent life but I am not going to start such debate within myself and you all.

All I can say is — Please think before you have kids.
