I haven’t dressed up proper for the entire week now and yes, i blame the rain! Because it’s warm + wet rain, it’s horrible weather. You see, i want to wear this cheery yellow dress but cheery dress says wear me on a cheery day. So i will wait.
Dress is vintage from ymomsfashion, sequinned cardigan from F21, vintage collar via ebay
Saturday — my boyfriend and i took a day trip to Batam. What seemed to be a fun-filled afternoon turned out to be really dreadful disappointing doom doom doom. The only time i dared to take out my camera was in the ferry thus i present ferry shots! The rest of the time i was pretty much frantic frightened frazzled.
These below were taken before leaving Batam, sunset sampan sea.Â
Sunday i cooked. I’m a Real Simple girl and in fact, they were real simple to whip up!
Shrimp with tomatoes and olives served with cous cous
Honey chicken with grilled-corn salad
This is the result of watching too much Top Chef, big itch to cook and my boyfriend would play Judge and spew culinary terms to make me giggle glee giggle.
Tonight i watched the film, Candy. The story is sad quite mortifying even excruciating at times but bearable to sit through because the leads are such beautiful faces. It’s seldom i take notice of movie sets when the script revolves around drugs + young lovers but this one had patterns nice textiles all over the scenes for you to peek your eyes at. I captured some stills to share, and if you would, share some films you enjoyed and think i would as well?Â
“We had a lot going for us. We’d found the secret glue that held all things together. Where the noise did not intrude. Our world was so very complete.”Â
You should watch Wendy and Lucy too. One of those silently loud types, makes you want to jump into the screen to help her because you can’t sit and watch in pain anymore.
One of my aims for 2009 is to eat healthier – i’m not very successful at it when i’m eating out. I’m not good at paying (quite alot of) money for greens, if a salad is $12 and a main is $17, it only makes sense to order a main right? See i need to work on my mentality. So i swallow all the greens i can when i eat in!
My boyfriend & i were at Ikea earlier on and this time, he tried to actively participate in choosing new bedsheets – which made me very pleased! Yeah but my whole bedsheet-world came crashing down when the one he picks ran out of stock. And when i point out an alternative choice, he says something like “buttt it’s purple and green..”. “Aha! Lookey at me, i’m wearing purple and green!?!”. Nice one, H!
