All hooked up...

Have a sudden craze over this bag hook thingy that's nowhere near new...

But happen to chance on a site retailing these bag hooks and they are so... devilishly retail tempting... Hee...










But they don't ship outside of Australia! *sobz*

Guess I got to keep looking around...

Eat, Pray, Love...

Have been trying to squeeze in time to read the book whenever I can, during 'leisure'... But as you might have been able to tell, there's not much time for leisure given that I'm still reading this book after 3 weeks.

Whatever time I have when I'm not at work, I was definitely not at home and 'Eat, Love, Pray' was a book intended for home... However, this book has been most insightful and thoughtful... literally...

Just to share one part of it. Or bits and parts of it rather, to make a 'story' out of what I would like to share - Part 16:

Depression and Loneliness tracked me down after about 10 days in Italy....

They come upon me, all silent and menacing like Pinkerton Dectectives, and they flank me - Depression on my left, Loneliness on my right. They don't need to show me their badges. I know these guys very well. We've been playing a cat-and-mouse game for years now. Though I am surprised to meet them in this elegant Italian garden at dusk. This is no place they belong....

I say to them, "How did you find me here? Who told you I had come to Rome?".....

"It's not fair of you to come here," I tell Depression. "I paid you off already. I served my time back in New York."

But he just gives me that dark smile, settles into my favorite chair, puts his feet on my table and lights a cigar, filling the place with his awful smoke.

Loneliness watches and sigh, then climbs into my bed and pulls the covers over himself, fully dressed, shoes and all. He's going to make me sleep with him again tonight, I just know it.

--------------

I loved the way she described it with such analogies.

After reading this portion of the book, I'm glad that Depression and Loneliness have taken sabbatical leave and have gone on a world tour at this point in my life. And I hope that they won't come a-knocking on my door anytime soon... =)

Lumix LX 3!

I bought it...

I said bye bye to my vouchers and bought it!

*Yippee....*

Played around with it for a short while yesterday night and took some random shots. Still pretty much unfamiliar with the features but took a shot in 'auto-mode' and I'm loving it already! =D

Lumix DMC LX3??

It's been constantly on my mind lately... Lumix LX 3.

Been reading reviews about it too. So far more good reviews than bad. Haven't actually read a 'bad' review about it... to think of it.

So my heart's definitely more inclined... Hrrm... the more I type, the more I think about it... the more likely I am to say bye bye to 600 bucks!

Check out some of these...




Hrm... Bye bye $600!

Hrm...

Decided to drop by my Face Book after sending out a series of e-mails, and working on some artwork @ 1am in the morning...

Clicked on 'boxes'... somewhere which I've not visited for a loooooooooong time, because after the network site revamp, I've forgotten that these additional applications that I added a while back still existed...

Happened to see that I added this Chinese Horoscope and not that I am a BELIVER, it's still just nice to read for the fun of it all... And my outlook for this year coincidentally says:

Outlook for 2009
Quality of life first! That will be your motto for this year. You will do your utmost to take more time to live and to live well than to earn money or to climb the social ladder. And you'll regret having forgotten to live for so long. Profit by this teaching of Epicurus: "When one is young one should begin to philosophize, and when one is old one should not be tired of philosophizing. For it is never too early or too late to work at the health of the soul."


Hey! That's exactly what I have been advocating to my friends this year! That says it all... WORK LIFE BALANCE! =)

Heh... I'm on the right path... Now I can shut down my computer and have a nice little dream about me going around the world on a holiday! Nites world! =D

Light! Light! Where is the light!

Week after week after week I just remind myself that there is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel. Just that it's a very long and complicated tunnel, with lots of turns and twists in the middle... So week after week after week, I'm just sticking out my neck hoping to see a glimpse of that light...

These days, it's the weekends that I look forward to. When I refuse! refuse! refuse! to think of work or talk about work (if I can help it)... (Sadly, I'm stuck at work the whole of this weekend!) As it is, life is stressed enough, without us having to think about work 24 hours a day!

In any case, last weekend was pretty good. Other than the fact that I spent x3 hours ironing probably 30% of un-ironed clothes, I managed to spend some exclusive girl time with Yann and Liann....

Brunch at Graze!

Sigh... wish I can have more time and resources to do such things more often...

Aww... Mush...

Work's been crazily overwhelming though I'm putting in EXTRA effort not to let it drown me... I refuse!

Which is also why taking time to blog is taking time away from work... But I simply had to blog down a very meaningful piece of mush this morning... (Which is quite unlike me because I'm not the publicly mushy type of person...)
