Cheers.

Hold on!

Is that your phone or mine?

O_O

I got attacked by a banshee on my way home.

She had long dark hair, beggar looking clothes and a screech that makes you want to punch her in reflex. It's so shrill.

She ran pass me, turned around and shrilled at the top of her voice or at least at the peak of my audio capability. And then she took off.

My reflexes were to tense my body and raise my arms to choke her. My brain told me those are the "latest" teenager clothes. I mean, come on, how short can your shorts be, before they are considered as denim underwear? And do they HAVE to be torn? She looks like she've been dragged across fields as part of some medieval punishments!


As I recovered from that adrenaline rush, I realized...

I almost attacked a female teenager.

Coffee, one cup I had

That was on Saturday morning. I had ballet at 8am and I was dreadfully in need of a pick-me-up. After 2 hours of futile trying to memorize a new dance, the 3 of us (adult ballet trainees) decided to skip the grade 1 class and instead hop over to McDonald's cafe to grab a cup of coffee. I must say, cappuccino has never seem so delicious and savory. After that we went back for the grade 2 class. (we still train! We just need the caffeine, honest!) And we had ballet class yesterday morning 9-11.30.

My muscles are not even screaming anymore, they're pretty much in a comatose state. I'm numb and sore but it left so good to be dancing so much. Tripped, fumbled and got scolded for being slow at times. *shrugs* Maybe our coach is right. All dancers are masochistic. Torturing themselves so much all for the love of dance.

On a random side note, I'm back on my diet. Yes... I stopped dieting just before I switched my job. And I gained weight as a result. Plus I feel unhealthy eating oily food from outside. It's fine from time to time, but not on a regular basis. This time I took it up a notch. I halved all my carbs. That means half a small bowl of rice, potatoes, noodles, bread, etc etc. For that I've replaced with half a grapefruit or a handful of grapes or an orange. Only on days where I've dancing do I eat more.

I want to be in top healthy form at all times and especially for my up-coming dancing exams. :D

No Coffee - Day 4

7am onwards. I'm pretty much sleepy from time to time. But less useless-sleepy now. I think my caffeine withdrawal symptoms has diminished. Plus I'm wearing boot cut with heels. Nothing makes me more excited in a simple work outfit. Keeeeekekekeke.

No seriously. I'm off coffee for four days. I feel much better now.

Later there's a bar party that the office is attending. Don't feel like drinking unless it's wine. Social events make me feel scared at times. What if I make a scene of myself again? I've a bad enough track record. I'm starting afresh in this company, I ain't gonna screw this up!

Cheers!

Hair

Something that was meant to keep us warm has evolved to being something of great importance for visual attraction.

Take a look around. Almost all the women I know had taken care if not great care of their hair. Re-bonding, highlighting, consistent combing, expensive haircare products. And it's interesting when I take a look around when I'm on the train, just observing the different hairstyles. To be fair, it's not only the fairer gender that's preening themselves. Men are also conscious of how they look. I've nothing against it. Hey, eye candy IS candy to the eyes... Mmmm...yums.

So most people would agree with me, that the hairstyle that looks the best is when you're at home. Especially the night before, where your shoulder length hair is all straight and ever so slightly curling inwards, /without you ever combing it/.

The ideal outlook for the hairstyle you're sporting.

So how the hell I end up with frizzy hair every single morning?

Pfft. This post explains my perpetual ponytail hairstyle at work.

That Feeling Of!

Yesterday I had to stay late and run dinner orders for artists who have last minute fixups for their shots.

And I was flustered and flushed. Stumbling and stuttering as I'm not familiar with the artists and the procedures still.

And amidst all that stumbling and being a stupid fool, the artists looked at me, and said, "thank you. You're doing a great job!" sincerely.


I...


It's all worth it. When you're doing even the smallest job, just as long as someone appreciate you... It's worth it.

Special Morning Update

Good glorious morning! Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been rather busy. And it's with good tidings that I came back with!

I'm currently blogging from my iPhone. And I intend to do this on my journeys to/from work. It'll give some time to gather my thoughts and share some weird information from time to time. Plus I'm usually quite tired by the time I reach home, so I've not been online for a long time too.

Why am I so tired? Am I overworked again? Have I been staying at work till midnight again?!

No! (happy & loud)

I've switched my job for about half a month back. Currently working at Lucasfilm Animation Singapore. Not as an artist. Just as a production assistant. This company is huge... So I'm still trying to comprehend everything. But I'll just take it one step at a time. I'm exceedingly happy as it's a company that take cares of their employees very well, and the workload is manageable, not overwhelming. The reason why I'm so tired is because the journey to work takes me one car ride & 3 trains in the morning (1 hour) and 3 trains & 1 bus ride home (1 hour).

That's also why I'm blogging on the journeys instead of doing it on my laptop at my usual 1-2 am timings.

So this is a small update for readers. Especially those who converse with me on other Internet platforms... I'm just sluggish from waking up at 6am every morning. Wait till my body adjusts to it. Then I'll be back online!

Till then, dreams do come true if you fight for it!
