chaka chaka

can i go home now?

less mouse-chasing, more languid stretching

this is my current favourite song -  Private Life of a Cat by The LK (The Love of Kevin, Chaos, Colour and the Sound of K). it hooked me the second i heard it. really lovely stuff. it reminds me very much of The Postal Service.

free and hopefully legal (i haven’t checked) downloads here.

if you weren’t already aware

finally. after all that sweatin’ and achin’ and nearly-but-not-quite’s, i’m an elite beat diva.

but, my gawd, what is up with the teeeeeeeeeensy tiny beat markers which come out 0.0012 seconds before you’re supposed to hit them and the life bar that speeds towards “!” with the speed of a thousand rabid mousedeers?

agents, heeeeeeeeeeeelp!

me is straight edge

the tioman trip was eventful. what did i expect? me and booze, we have an incredibly unpredictable love/hate relationship.

my takeout:

2 bottles absolut (mandarin and kurrant, yum!)

1 carton dunhill reds

1 injured and swollen foot

1 “X” marks the spot

358,150 alcohol-fuled incindents i don’t care to remember (yikes)

i miss my Baby, now freezing her cute butt off somewhere in Hong Kong. <3

jeez

looks like the same thing everywhere.

half-assed briefs are totally pointless.

if it doesn’t say anything useful, you might as well throw a stack of sanitary pads on my desk.

oh, don’t mime me

40-50 stalls with everything from brand-new to pre-loved bajus, shoes, accessories and books. plus RM1 for full day parking. sigh.

am kind of broke this month so it’s for the best that this coincides with my company trip to tioman.

clothesbucket, Oh, Popsicles, Dolly Sins, La Belle Closet, Glampot, Ancient Orchids, Frozen Petalz, Buttons my Buttons, Sugar and Spice

here is a map for those who might be directionally-challenged. though if you’re a subang kid and don’t know how to get to 3K inn, i’ll smack you.

one thing i’ve learned

i still can’t get over that i missed the stefan sagmeister talk in august.

argh. family obligations. ARGH.

in the back seat

3 points to ponder:

  1. why do satria drivers all imagine they’re driving race cars?
  2. why do football fans refer to their teams as “us” and “you”?
    e.g. hey when are you guys (Nottingham Forest) playing against us (Chelsea)?
  3. why are there handprints on the inside of all dodgy lift doors, as if someone was trying to get out?

so, obviously am still breezin’ through my days. how different from all that back-breaking bs of the past few months. am appreciating every free second i have… to do memes!
