I feel like a monster

7th June 2006 - Bridge session at my house, with the people who introduced me into the wonderful world of BRIDGE, and my favourite bridge partners!

Inspired by the splatter of f.r.i.e.n.d.s pictures over the f.r.i.e.n.d.s blog lately. I would photoshop it more, if only I wasn't the lazy bum I am.

After work outside Paragon - Lynn and Serene came to visit me!
After being appaled to discover Lynn and Serene taking photos with my apron in the toilet, by the plant, guess who decided she wanted one too? This must be the silliest picture I've taken in my whole life, but only the best people can bring out the silliest in me.

I not only look like a monster-

Thanks to the humongous pimple on the tip of my nose. Thank goodness the lighting at Spageddies is rather dim, or I think guests will burst out laughing whenever I take their orders. Gross mini-monsters have been popping out all over my face since Beijing =( It really shouldn't matter, but it does.

On top of looking like a monster-

I'm a BRIDGE monster. I was reading my brother's bridge guidebook that bridge is often considered to be the most perfect of all card games... definitely. I don't think I've ever liked any card game since UNO from the primary school days (digression: I don't know why, but I've never, in my life, missed my primary school days much as I loved SNGS). If only I was a better Bridge player, then I could possibly love it more than Scrabble. Bridgebridgebridge - can't wait for another session.

Note to Tim: I'm posting that unglam picture of me in my specs solely for your benefit. (probably can't transfer files to you because you're using a Mac)

I'm a BISCUIT monster - I've been munching on Digestives, Danone Milk Biscuits and Jacobs plain crackers non-stop since I've been back. (Explains the complexion)

I'm a COFFEE monster - mmm, they go with biscuits.

I'm a EARRING monster - I still don't know where to put all the earrings from Beijing.

I'm a shopping monster - I still haven't found space for all the clothes from Beijing, but within two days of working in Orchard, I managed to buy one more Zara top (make that a ZARA monster) and one more skirt. Great Singapore Sale.

These days, I dread going to work. Apart from perpetual starvation because I never ever feel like eating the staff meals, it always feels so mundane. I feel like I could be doing things so much more meaningful, but I don't know what. I don't want the summer vacations to just slip me by, but I don't know what to do. I want to live it up, love life every single day, but I can't find the energy. I'm reminded of my driving instructor who once told me, 'If you feel no sadness, how could you ever appreciate happiness?' - but I still wish I could be perpetually happy. Off to work soon.
