Had fun catching up with the gals!

Even the clown needs a rest. Sometimes you never understood why they need it because you have never been in their big flappy shoes. You have never seen them without their funny red nose. You think they should be the one who entertain, not the other way round. It probably didn't occur to you that while they were busy faking clumsy falls and cracking silly jokes, the audience enthusiasm was what kept them going...

Removed the makeup, shed the fanciful pajamas, they are only plain Johns and Janes. They are only humans. And a human, no matter how talkative and energetic, has their quiet moments. Quiet moments to recharge, to listen to someone else talking...to simply enjoy being entertained.

At times I am drained, and it is not all about work. Thanks Jun. Thanks XP. Love you gals.

We went to explore good food again. This time it was to Thomson Road. Sadly, of all the pictures I took, the most important ones came out blurred - the food. The below are all I have got for this trip. Argh. Looks like my handphone's camera has the same lousy night vision as me.

7 July - My attempt at fixing the blurred photo...

It was a 'dessert' weekend for me. I ate ice creams ice creams and then ice creams - fattening junk food that tend to brighten people's mood.

To fix my 'sianed' mood, I even decided to wear my pokka dots lime green long skirt.

Something to do with the elderly at the Henderson Senior Citizens Home tomorrow - photo-montage of their favorite things.

Nicer pieces of the finished artwork will be framed and hung up in their homes. I did a sample of my own favorite things today. Kind of like it.

Happy birthday to my beloved grandma who often tastes my home-made cookies. I enjoyed having buffet at the void deck. I enjoyed watching my mum and relatives singing in the KTV room.

Smiles and laughter are contagious, especially that of the childrens', and I was 'infected'. 神的孩子都在跳舞...!

A little quirky. A little mysterious. A little flamboyant. And even a bit 'feminine'... I like these pictures of him.

I am in a good mood. And coincidently Miss Moon was free to accompany me today when I received the happy news. We dined at our favorite chill-out place TCC and Dome.

I have heard this song for at least a dozen times and each time the lyrics never failed to make me think -

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life. You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife. I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do. But, I wish someone had talked to me like I wanna talk to you...

I've been to Georgia and California and, anywhere I could run. I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun. But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free... I've been to paradise but I've never been to me.

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete, but I took the sweet life I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet. I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free... I've been to paradise but I've never been to me.

I can't remember when was the last time we took a family photo, and I can't recall when was our last family outing. Tonight, I'm happy and contented.

I'm back from my taiwan trip! I bite into juicy 'shui jian bao'. I sipped QQ bubble tea. I met friendly uncles and aunties. I crossed path with fanciful dogs even in the eatery and I slept in the most cozy bed & breakfast inn I ever stayed, accompanied by the most papa-like foriegn cab driver I ever met.

Despite the sore throat and slight gastric pain, the trip was fruitful and fun. I'm glad I didn't give it a miss.

The day we walked Dan Shui was a wet wet day. It started with a morning drizzle which turned into a rainy night. I don't like grey skies...

Sightseeing along the journey from Taipei to Hua Lian was something out of the ordinary. I like the sea, the mountains and the cool wind. The road was bumpy though. To sit at the back of the car was even bumpier. Luckily I had my breakfast. Too many hours of travelling on the rocky road with an empty stomach probably will cause me gastric discomfort, then I would be kept 'busily unwell' the whole day instead of enjoying the great sceneries.
