hello my darlings, sorry i haven't blogged in a while. i'm sure everyone's been checking desperately every hour to see if i've updated.

i feel good today! i've just had a very full, fulfilling dinner. home food - yum!
and before that, a wonderful shower, preceded by a much-needed trip to the gym, which was really great! i stretched, did some weights, and ran a lot, and i didn't even feel very tired. only my face was really red, but the great kind of glowing red. yay!

and before that, was at the esplanade for the dialogue with the women leaders of singapore. that wasn't particularly good, a bit boring really, but vaish and i spoke to sara dean about using AWARE as the lysistrata charity, and to glenda chong about mediacorp sponsorship. sara dean was very weird in a sort of condescending way when we spoke to her, and when we asked how we could get in touch with her with a formal mail, she just gestured at her card that she was holding, and then we got interrupted, and then she said to get in touch by email. glenda chong on the other hand, was extremely nice. so i'll have to email them soon.

then we meant to go to the esplanade library, but we got trapped by the shops! found this really great shop - Popcorn, i think it was - and bought two LOTR movie calendar cards, and an LOTR chiraki or chirabi or chi-something, which is the movie flyer given out together with movie tickets in Japan. The shop is damn cool! I'm going to go back sometime and buy a movie poster. I want a Lost in Translation poster! And the woman working at the shop was really nice and her taste is similar to mine and Vaish's!

also walked around citylink.. made my customary trip to bookbinders to ogle at the expensive books, and this really gorgeous bag, and as usual promise that i'll save up one day for something from there. it's hideously expensive. but the red bag was soo nice. and just today i was telling myself that i have a nice black bag and a nice white bag, now i need a nice colourful bag. another one for the england shopping list, in addition to boots, skirt, and a whole host of other things.

before that.. had lunch at citylink, all by me onesy because stupid vaish was late! i decided to try o'briens irish sandwich bar, and bought an expensively not-very-nice sandwich and a chocolate muffin. i'm going around trying chocolate muffins everyone to see if there's any that can measure up to the coffee bean doublechocolatechip muffin, but so far i haven't found one.

what else happened today... cip camp dry run. was pretty ok, boring as a dry run should be, but i left early because of esplanade. received several compliments for my new skirt, so kudos to choon and vivien for convincing me that it was a good buy!

I think the number of exclamation marks in this post, tops the list.
