My dearest flatmate Kimberley in a somewhat pensive mood on the day I got back to Singapore after my month long, heavenly holiday in Colombo where I did absolutely nothing exciting but still had the time of my life.


Location of photograph: Haveli, on Kampong Bahru road. Check it out. Good food at reasonable prices.
















Me!!! Right opposite Kimberley at Haveli. No gel in my hair! Shock! Horror! Faint! Dreading the prospect of starting work at my new job the next day!

















Hershey's and I at The Clinic! Didn't like it but really don't want to be the one to spread negative WOM so do go check it out. I wonder whether this photograph will meet Her Royal Hershey's formidable standards?






















































In honor of Shiny's birthday celebration at Cafe Iguana we all stuck our tongues out. Perhaps I shall start a poll about who looks the cutest. My choice is Pavs, with me coming in a close second. he he.

update on movies

Some movies I have watched recently:

The Holiday B-
The Last Kiss B-
The Queen B+
Happy Feet B
Casino Royale A-
Little Children A-
Night at the Museum B

The real surpise of the season was that Casino Royale was such a good movie. The action's just awesome and Daniel Craig does the James Bond franchise proud. I mean we all thought Pierce Brosnan totally looked the part of Bond, but now when I think of him, I think of stuffy old bachelor trying to look cool. Kate Winslet was out with two movies this season, i.e. a visual and cinematic treat but The Holiday was quite the disappointment (although she was brilliant) but Little Children kind of made up for it. A must watch. Helen Mirren in The Queen is absolutely awesome. Every bit of praise that has been showered on her for this performance is well deserved and 100% justified.

Movies I am dying to watch:

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Notes on a Scandal
The Departed (was in state of 3rd world cinematic deprivation when movie opened)
Pan's Labyrinth (getting some of the best reviews of the year)
Half Nelson

I am so looking forward to the award season!! However, sadly, I cannot miss work to watch the awards live. Poor me. I live such a hard life!!!

2007

Happy New Year!!! I cannot believe 2006 is over. Such a turbulent year it was…. Anyway, out with the old, in with the new! So without any further ado, these are my New Year resolutions:

Read more.

Watch more movies.

Drink more water.

To have lower expectations about everything. Relationships, friendships, work etc.

To be more efficient at work. This HAS to happen or I WILL be fired. I expect this is not something I can control but I guess it will just come from experience. I love working as a research analyst but it’s a constant challenge to do things on time. The standards seem impossible but yet I see everyone else being able to do it. So I will cross my fingers, work hard and hope for the best!

To save more. Living from cheque to cheque is tiring, scary and makes life hell for the accountant at the firm I work in. It isn’t easy for anyone to listen to a 22 year old whining about being paid late.

It’s all about more, more, more. Other nasty habits I have that should make it on my resolution list are conspicuously absent because I don’t have any faith in myself.

It’s 2007. Wooooooot!
