Want, or cannot?

In lieu of physical attendance, a care package was sent today to stand in for my well wishes across the many oceans which-I-cannot-name-as-my-geography-sucks-and-I-don’t-want-to-google to the bride-to-be. It is a lousy feeling knowing that a roll of ribbon and hyperglitter wrapping paper are going to take my place.

John spoke about streamlined-friendship over the net. Does the same experience apply when offline relationships goes on the internet highway? When it happens, do people stay that way simply because “they can no longer make it” for the in-the-flesh events anymore?

I will go write in my journal now.

t 4 3, and another round for all

If you are a jewelery-buff, and you enjoy the fact that you are not wearing a T-mesh ring like the rest of the world, you should check out t 4 3.

I mean, I am not especially style-sensitive (note: it does not mean I am a slob). Being a known klutz, I am not naturally drawn to jewelery as an accessory. I can appreciate the intricate work and frankly, the threesome, Serene Nana Shufen, has quite a collection. The latest Love is… collection is rather wearable, even for someone like me! One of the necklaces remind me so much of the piece I broke during a New Year’s party. It was a gift and it still bothers me that I cannot find a similar replacement. My only concern now is, will I break it again?

In case you are also a facebook person, their page is here, if the link works.

Snack-a-licious!

Always knew that there is a logical explanation to why I snack so much. Pop psychology or not, it is a fun table (developed by Dr Alan Hirsch).

Every description is positive :) Eat your way to a good personality!

Nuts : Easygoing, empathetic, understanding, calm, and have an even-keel nature Potato Chips : Ambitious, successful, a high achiever and impatient with less than the best
Corn Chips : A perfectionist, punctual, conservative, responsible and have high expectations
Twisties or
Cheezels :
Conscientious, principled, proper, fair, plan ahead, love order, have great integrity but can seem rigid
Pretzels : Lively, easily bored with routine, flirtatious, intuitive, may overcommit to projects
Popcorn : Take-charge, pitches in often, modest, self-confident but not a show-off
Crackers : Rational, logical, contemplative, shy, prefers time alone.

Flock(ing) in a pack

I don’t know what flock is, does or feed on. The info page contains really long sentences. I downloaded it anyway.

Flock was founded on the vision that the web browser can and should enable the richest user experience possible across information-gathering, sharing, communication, self-expression and interaction. Every individual has their own unique preference for favorite sites, utilities, media and friends. Flock’s philosophy is to deliver a more personal experience of the web, where its users are in control and more connected to what they value.

Sleep to eat

I am a bore when it comes to food (unlike most Singaporeans e.g. thoughtful Lucy). I eat as I am served, without much cognitive processing.

6 nights in Sydney were stuffed with embarrassing amount of pumpkin soups, salads, smoked salmon sandwiches and just one sleepy night of paella with salsa dancing on the side. I blame it on my inability to sleep every night – it seriously affected my appetite (though I am not any more adventurous when I do get my 8hrs). Even freshly brewed long black tasted bleah.

Good thing the room has a nice view, it makes it less laughable to stare and wait for the time to leave for work.

/ Digressing /

Anyone feels that the disco lights on SQ A380 is a little too much? I felt like I was on the set of Clone Wars.

A great way to fly?

I laughed real hard. I have always known the toughness of the job, through observations and friends’ recounts. This quote puts it into perspective.

So you want to be a flight attendant?

Go to a resale store and find an old, navy suit that an army sergeant might have worn. Add a white shirt and a tie. Wear that same outfit for three consecutive days.

Go to an airport and watch airplanes take off for several hours. Pretend you are standing by for them and they are all full. Go home. Return to the airport the very next day and do the same thing again.
