Sing me a Birthday Song

Rest of them

A new layout by the way. Took me so little time that it feels incomplete. I’m Miss Superfluous, minimalism always need some getting used to.

Before I forget, Happy Halloween. There is a potentially huge zit emerging from my cheek RIGHT NOW. But of cause! Zits always have terrific sense of bad timing. So beware of Halloween fairies, one of them will be very grumpy.

What Weekend?

FIGHT + READ + MOVE — The End.

Lost all the photos from my birthday weekend (last last weekend) because my SD card is somewhere not with me and I doubt it’ll come back at all. I’m going to harass my friends for photos before I can post anything here.

At the meantime, some interior design. My place and Bunny’s place are coincidentally undergoing renovations at the same time, so all those time spent looking wistfully at decor websites comes in handy now.

I’m watching out for a decor style that we can both compromise with, this looks potential.

Birthday Weekend

October 19, 2009 General Comments

I didn’t throw a party this year but somehow I had a smashing birthday party! Thanks to a bunch of SiaoCharBos I absolutely adore.

I also had a few rounds of mini celebration dinners with friends and family. Unexpected gifts, kind gestures, sweet thoughts… I almost forgot that awful part about getting older. And the feasts…wow… at one point it was actually painful to sneeze because I couldn’t inhale enough air into my bloated body. Horrible feeling. No more buffet spread for a long time thank you very much.

All the photos are still in my camera. Let me show you something else altogether.

Sasha! Eeeyeeeerrrrr sooooo cuteeee!!!!

My friends started putting two and two together, thinking that she’s my birthday present because she started appearing in my facebook pictures at the same time. What? You think watch movie ah? Hahaha! My bunny is not that romantic, the cutie belongs to his sister. Besides, he will not give me something I’d love over him. He made that mistake with the iPhone, I doubt he’ll make the same mistake again.

I’m more of a dog person but when something THAT cute hops over, plops down beside you and snuggle into your knee. How can you resist?

I’m not taking wedding photos unless they turned out like Jessica Claire‘s. I can’t imagine paying thousands for pictures that tend to look… blahingly common. Maybe I’m not familiar with local wedding photography scene, anyone knows any photographer that can take similiar pictures?

And this particular table setting makes me wanna sob. Yes, table setting, I will marry you. *wistful*

Hello there, nice tattoo.

Quite the frequent hunt, online reviews aren’t stellar but then again, many griped about factors other than food… no free water, bad service (which I disagree), corkage and so on. Cmon, review about the food already!

My favourite dishes are Parma ham with rock melon, Home made ravioli with ham and ricotta cheese in cream porcini sauce, Vongole al vino bianco, Tagliatelle al Salmone e Gorgonzola and Burratina alla Coratina. See Menu.

Didn’t take good pictures, too dim, too preoccupied. I can never be a good food photographer, have kinda established that.

Look Underfoot

October 5, 2009 Personal Comments

It is quite common that people have meanings behind a tattoo. I admit that I got my tattoo as a random act of impetuousness. But I think the tattoo served as a really good reminder of one of my favorite quotes.

The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is, “Look underfoot.”

You are always nearer to the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars; every place is the centre of the world. Stand in your own door and you have eight thousand miles of solid ground beneath you, and all the sidereal splendors overhead.

John Borroughs in “The Divine Soul,” April, 1908
