somewhat sille, that's me!

just another short post tonight. another baby step to overcoming my lack of inspiration.

• i didn't wake up this morning. i woke up past noon. i didn't have my alarm clock and the husband was out and my biological clock seemed to think that i needed to sleep in. was supposed to meet K for lunch at about that time! wondered why husband was not back. called him from the house phone. turned out that K had to go back to the office to work. poor fella!

• went for ex-colleague's wedding dinner at Parkroyal Hotel tonight. the food was so-so and the ceremony ended late, but the bride was beautiful (this colleague resembles a Singaporean celebrity :) 

• read a little of Life of Pi (half a chapter?) and it has mention of this fish called dorado, which is "distinguished by dazzling colors: golden on the sides, and bright blues and greens on the sides and back". and the protagonist of the book described killing the fish (by whacking it repeatedly with a blunt object) was like "killing a rainbow" because it would turn all sorts of colours before it breathes its last. and as sadistic as it might sound, i am kinda looking forward to watching this on the big screen. in 3D no less!

• also read a chapter of Steve Jobs, and i don't think he's ever going to redeem himself by the end of the book. he has few redeeming qualities to pass as a decent human being. i'm surprised that he allows this biography to go out without reading its draft. what does he have up his sleeves!

• the Big Bad Wolf sale is coming, in about 2 weeks. will be taking a day off to be there. i need more books around the house that i won't be reading *sheepish smile*
