Senior citizen... getting there

What a boring weekend indeed! Though I am not really complaining coz I would rather spend it this way than be at the office doing some major accounting work. It is a damn "exciting" profession, yeah right.

(Mind you, this conversation took place at about 8:30pm on a Saturday! A SATURDAY FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!)

My favorite day is

Friday! :) I left work on the dot at 5pm and it feels bloody great! It's not hard to tell that I am definitely not a workaholic. I love money and will work for it but will not sacrifice my life for it. So here I am at 7pm Perth time having a relaxing time, surfing the web randomly and listening to mp3s. Everyday should be a Friday. The only sucky thing about today is the bad weather (been raining sporadically) and the jam on the road caused by the bad weather. It's a vicious cycle. I want the food, people (friends & family), shopping centers, legal system of Singapore but the open spaces and non-humid cooling weather of Australia (ok, wait maybe not Summer). Am I asking for too much? I THINK I AM STILL FEELING HOME SICK!!!

My view

"If all men were bastards, we might as well go for the hottest one!"

I guess it's true that when you don't have a man in your life, you want one. But when you have one, there are days when you feel like pulling your hairs out. I guess it's human nature. We are not easy to please and we subscribe to the chicken rice/duck rice theory. After a while, when the sparks are gone and when other factors around you cause strain in your relationship, you would look around and think there are definitely other bigger and more delicious fishes out there. No wonder divorces are more commonplace now than ever. Women are finding it easier to deal with divorces these days as well as we become more independent. Why not? If the guy is a jerk, if he is not able to give you happiness, why suffer in silence and give up the chance of a better catch? (in my opinion, this is if there is no children involved). Of course, there's always a possibility that you might catch a blowfish, in which case I would curse at the misfortune. Hee :)

The above came about from having drinks with an old Indo friend of mine. We were comparing notes and discovered that some of the most "bastard" guys out there have no looks, no money, and no other good traits other than perhaps the ability to sweet talk and give empty promises. Even though it sucks to be cheated on, but personally I would rather he be a hot guy. Agree?

It's been one hell of a trip...

I checked out MOS finally! Yes, I know it's been around a while now and the hype is probably over but hey for someone who lives in the land of abundant space but absolute boredom, it's pretty damn cool. I'm very sure there is a night scene in Perth of which we are not apart of since we've got no friends there (yeah, no life!). We ended up dancing in the retro room and after talking to Nat this morning, it seems I should have been hanging in the Pure room. Damn... :( But it's ok, it's all kewl. There's always next time. All in all, retro's quite good too... "Daddy who?!?" hahaha (inside joke).

Trips to Singapore never fail to be interesting. The shopping & the eating of course is extraordinary. And getting to spend time and catch up with your direct family is great as well. I really yearn for the days where I can finally get to see them at least once a week over dinner. I realize I'm missing out so much, my nephews are all grown up now and I feel I have missed out on their developments (though I'm only their aunt). Having a social support network also helps. You don't have to come home after a shitty day at work and when you feel you need someone to go have a couple of drinks or to drink kopi or to eat ice cream with, you realize that they are all not in the same country as you are. I know Oka's always there for me but it's a different support network that can be kinda nice as well. Speaking of ice cream, there are definitely interesting local flavors here like chendol, durian, or teh tarik (this I love!) Yes, I'm all into the local flavors these days, back to my Asian roots perhaps. Just sitting outside island creamery the other night at Serene Centre reminisicing the old days when Mcdonalds used to be the major hangout for students around that area. And I was told I used to be one of those spoilt brats/Bukit Timah kids. Hahaha. Yeah, that's how long the friendship has been. 12 yrs? Yup, getting old.

I guess I can still go on but I shall not make myself feel worse about leaving tomorrow evening. The minute the plane touched down here last Saturday, I knew I was home. It will be another 6 more months of painful endurance before I'm back again. And hopefully very soon, I will be here permanently!

Love is...

waking up in the morning to cook porridge for your other half who has fallen sick. I don't say this enough, but comfort and familiarity is not a bad thing at all.

I hate being sick

When you are feeling numb all over and your body aches like a bitch. This is the feeling I hate most. My throat's still sore as hell and I am still feeling feverish. I have tried to go to bed at 8pm last night in the attempt to give my body a chance to recuperate but the discomfort prevented me from falling into a deep sleep. I woke up at freaking 3am this morning 2 days in a row now. I am feeling so cranky now. Urgh!

This is good seafood...

At Zafferano. Each weekend we would look for new places to eat. Afterall, this is Perth and if you are neither an outdoor person nor a nature lover, then food is definitely the call for you. I was recommended by a friend (the same one who had recommended Star Anise - refer to my previous entry) to try their fresh seafood. I really stand by her recommendations now. :) And the table we've got was pretty amazing as well - at the quiet corner of the restaurant by the Swan River. It's quite an expensive meal though but with this kind of setting and service, it's well worth it.

We watched Superman returns on Friday night. I don't think Superman is that hot, although I know of someone who would totally disagree. But I think in this world today that we live in, everyone needs a superhero. Imagine someone who would be able to rid of all the evil and psychologically demented people! The world would be a better place to live in...
