today we watched 'the love guru' starring mike myers. there were plenty of cameos by stars like jessica simpson, val kilmer and justin timberlake was hilarious as le coq. i didn't recognise him till later cos he put on this moustache and a really funny french canadian accent. if you don't think too much and just watch it for the austin powers brand of humour, it makes a funny brainless movie for a weekend.

lotsa admin to be done like bookings for church etc and lots to clear up at work before cell retreat this weekend.

some birthday things
a good size dean and deluca mug from brenda. i love the size - don't have to keep refilling my mug. plus lemon cupcake mix from dean and deluca that i'll somehow find time to experiment with later on.






an archi travel pocket picture book all the way from hong kong from miss kung. haha.

today's impromptu beer and snacks at rogues somehow became an uplanned engagement party - or was labelled as such. the company was brilliant and the food was great - mini burgers, salty bacon pizzas, fried chicken, lamb cutlets (i didn't try!), beef wraps and i met joyce who was in the same studio for me for a while back in year four and she was charlotte's good friend. we met at the outdoor area but when more people came we gravitated towards the cosy corner spot on the inside. faye brought along her sister - faye is so entertaining to have around. and i could see that mingyao was enjoying himself very much too so that was wonderful. except that i took afew photos of those present and i forgot to take a photo for us!

yesterday mingyao picked me up from the airport again :) and we had supper at macdonalds'.

this weekend has got to be a productive one. lots of personal and work stuff to do and get enough sleep too. sleep is one of the most desirable things around these days.

oh how can we ever go back to mundane again!

so today was very nice just sitting at coffee bean at forum shopping mall going through our house plans and working out stuff like electrical points. it's good mingyao's the techy one and i'm the interior one. we got it covered that way.

oh yeah i'm still mesmerised by the ring and how he was so thorough and detailed in getting it. you never fail to surprise me with your eye for special things. :)

engaged to awesome guy.






:)

slept most of my weekend away. it's still not enough. but i've never felt so awake in weeks. need to be in control of the momentum...

hate hate hate

i just spent three hours doing some drawings that would have relieved me of some of the stress of monday morning because this is going to be such a hectic week and before i could save it, cad jammed.

excuse me while i go cry my eyes out on a monday morning.

after a day of calming down and rationalising. it's after all yet again, another case of NOT SAVING EVERY FIVE_TEN MINUTES! my very human fault.

pete yorn, folks.

i am now going to run to the other end of the world. back in an hour.

dreamboat. you sit next to me on the bench and the world comes to a standstill. i would like to hug you twentyfourseven and then go make some peach milkshakes with our future blender.

saturday don't go.





today i met bren for lunch at sushi tei at thomson plaza. it's always nice to be around the thomson area when we meet up - there's just that special feeling of familiarity cos we grew up there, and it's a good reason for me to hang out in the area i seldom go to now. i think the last time we met was a while away so we had a good time of catching up conversation and coffee after. i'm really paranoid about my poor sun sensitive nose, my hand reaches out to shield my nose from the sun whenever i step into the glare. anyways i am so excited that brenda is getting married and i love to hear about the updates of the planning. i met mingyao in town. i bought a pete yorn cd, elle deco and belle magazine from borders (from my birthday borders gift card!) august issue (wha..you say? august alraaady?) yeaps fellas soon it will be christmas. bring it on! we walked about town looking at things and then we went to catch our movie

- 21- at cineleisure (sardine packed with young fellas waiting for the lift, in the lift - that place is a teen hang out and i feel claustrophobic and irritable with them young fellas) where kate b. and jim s. looked great in the show - it was just fun. i like college shows. they make me think about college in an 'emo' way ya know. all that school life and writing essays and stuff. i wore mingyao's sweater in the cinema. anyways we had a quick dinner and walked around a bit before we headed to chris's party in the oxley area just for a while and we hung around the quiet pool just sitting on the deck chairs talking. just you and i. the coolest guy in the universe.
