Smell the weekend

TGIF! Hil and I were talking last evening and we both agreed that this week feels rather long. I then asked him why this week would feel longer than, let's say, the previous week, since every week is 24/7? Anyway, we couldn't think of any logical reasons. So if there're any smart-alec out there, pls feel free to share your theories with us.

The weather is so irresistibly hot today. (*sigh* I have to resort to talking about the weather!) But seriously, the weather today is purrrfect for some outdoor fun in the sun. I think I'm an outdoor person. Well, not exactly the outdoor-outdoor kind, if you know what I mean. I'm the sort who likes the great outdoor but not the Indiana Jones / climbing Mt Everest kind. Being in the sun makes me feel so carefree and happy...Healthy too, from the free intake of Vitamin D...or E...(Can't quite remember.) The one thing I can't stand about the sun is of course, the consequences. Especially after a day at the beach. Looking like a lobster and feeling burnt isn't exactly a nice feeling, in addition to the little voice at the back of your head telling you, "Skin cancer, skin cancer..."

Everyone's dressed funky at work today. Pauline's in a purple man-gen top. Connie's dressed like a S'pore flag and Mavis has a super obiang neckace. (I HOPE THEY"RE NOT READING MY BLOG). Bim's not at work today but if she is, i'M SURE she'll be clad in bimbotic bright colours and flamboyant accesories. (I REALLY HOPE THEY'RE NOT READING MY BLOG!)

Pirates are so ridiculous. For the sake of imitating famous brands, they think of all ways to trick customers into buying their products. I was eating, what I thought was OREO the other day. Tastes a little different, I thought. When I flipped it over to see the black surface, instead of reading "OREO", it reads "STEREO". What the heck...

I was doing some touch-ups for a doctor's photo for a magazine and he has requested to have his eyebags 'removed'. So Pauline and I sat in front of the computer and she watched as the eyebags 'miraculously' disappeared. The wonders of Photoshop. Then...*tink*...(lightbulb appears on top of our heads), we started removing everything else! I mean, he's quite a good-looking doctor...just a little shabby with the moustache and goatee and long hair. So I removed all those and wow...he looks ten years younger man! Unfortunately, doctors being doctors, he wanted everything put back except the eyebags. Ha...what a vain-pot.

All righty. Going for lunch now. Meeting Maria for dinner this evening. Can't wait! Been a long time since we last chilled out together. Effort lar, effort... =)
