today was another sad, rainy day. i woke up at 530 like i always do, thanks to the biological clock born from 12 years under merciless singapore schooling. then i watched the ep of america's next top model which i taped last night and by then i felt like sleeping again cos i was so bored. and when i next woke up, it was 11.27 pm!!! which is A RECORD because i'm the kind that can substitute an hour of sleep for a shot of caffeine, indefinitely. so yes, this confirms my that my transition into slothdom is well underway.

so i shall talk about the rest of the week now...

yesterday i went out with walker because we both needed comfort food and figured we'd be perfect company since we're both in pretty much the same boat. except maybe that i'm not going to durham and shifting to england in september. but otherwise we both hate cambridge and the army and wanted ice cream, and plus we make good shopping companions. and we got approached by model scouts TWICE in 2 hours, which i think is thanks to walker's micromini black skirt (which andy apparently hates). the first time we said we were australian and couldn't speak english and were leaving singapore tomorrow which got us a very dirty look from the guy. actually i said it and walker just looked away and tried her best not to laugh. which reminds me of the other time this guy approached me and mandy outside orchard mrt for a survey, and when he asked if we had time and we spoke english, mandy replied that 'we're portugese and in a rush'. and given that she said that in fluent english and the guy had seen us sitting on the bumrests for at least half an hour, i have no idea why he didn't believe us! :p don't ask me why i won't agree to do outdoor surveys!

oh and after the shopping trip i decided to go for evening pilates class on an empty stomach, which was a Very Bad Idea because the instructor went mad and made us do this series of crunches which went on for like 10 minutes nonstop. by the end of it i could feel my stomach dying. and it didn't help that i was dreaming of dinner throughout, which only worsened the agony. ah, the pain of being vain!

on tuesday i watched king kong for the second time and it was a very long 3 hours indeed. naomi watts is another one of those actresses with only one facial expression so it's a good thing she doesn't look like kirsten dunst. and what struck me was how come she never had a Wardrobe Malfunction despite being chased through a jungle and manhandled by a giant ape in only a skimpy silk nightie! this is unrealistic. oh and i can totally understand francine's mega crush on adrien brody now :D

oh and last thing- i'm now an accomplished cook. today i cooked soba again for lunch and i'm pleased to announce that the noodles turned out perfectly spongy and i didn't overcook the brocolli or peas! soba, conquered!
