Feels strange to be up at 9am and not having to head to work. Usually when I’m on leave it means I’m traveling, so having this bum-time at home is a tad disconcerting. Been meaning to post since my days have been quite full-on but I haven’t been taking many recent pics.
How to get what you want for Christmas:
Just kidding. Pix from Audrey’s birthday thing a week before Christmas which was incidentally the start of the mad party season!
The usual suspects:
At the office party me and LC helped organised. Was fun running around town buying santa hats and presents for the lucky draws! Wish I won the iPod. Overall was significantly less mad than last year (no strange gold heads) but however we had an inter-floor drinking comp and I still managed to bruise an ankle chasing after a quarter pounder (don’t ask).
Another fun party was Christmas Eve at Lola’s where me and Nik cooked dinner! On the Jap-inspired menu was:
Fusilli with ham and a miso-based sauce
Grilled tiger prawn on an egg whites with tobikko and mayonnaise
Choice of Norwegian salmon teriyaki or
Eye fillet with seaweed butter sauce with
Stir fried enoki and button mushrooms, truffle mash and sauteed asian greens
Home made lychee cheesecake (OK we didn’t make this tee hee)
Thankfully it wasn’t too disastrous putting us in the kitchen. It was the annual bubbles party and safe to say we had lots.
Now I need to start packing for Bangkok. Haven’t been there for more than 10 years so am very much looking forward to it!
Happy 2008 y’all ;)
Taking a small breather now to organise myself. And then I realise 2008 is taking great big steps in my direction – I can’t believe it’s already December. Mid December at that. Where the fuck has all that time gone?
These days, it seems that is the one thing no one ever has enough of. It’s a shame you can’t fit it in a box. That would be some Christmas present.
A lot has been happening and things are finally moving into place. I should be ecstatic that this jigsaw is finally closer to completion but instead I’m dreading putting down the final pieces of the puzzle. There are just so many things to do, people to see, conversations to have, places to go, loose ends to tie up.. I think I’m getting pretty good at procrastinating when it comes to myself. I ask myself too many questions I can’t find answers for.
In the meantime I am in love with Neil Gaiman. Soooo in love. He is such a fabulous, wonderful distraction despite him keeping me up in bed at ungodly hours. Mmm.
I’m beginning to enjoy shoots more these days.
Riq bears considerable likeness to Peter Petrelli here.
Fun shoot! Am tired. PP is a great place to take pictures. Had a crazy time trying to inflate bunny balloons (which popped) and phallic elephant balloons (which, unfortunately, didn’t) while negotiating rain in dress best left for sunny days.
White walls. Random furniture. And oh, the chairs. Structural, colourful mess!
Choen and his Hasselblad. I like peacocks when they’re not real birds.
Kat and I messing with the props. I don’t really know what they are but they are crazy.
We shot a ridiculously expensive Juicy dress ($21k!?) that didn’t come with wheels. And another so broad the model couldn’t fit in the door.
Taisu in one of the crazy Venetian masks Kat collects. Love love love. Reminded me of one of the old Pure White parties we had before.
Came home with some balloons. Inhaled the helium to see if I sounded like Mickey. I did. I’ve always wanted to do that.
Next stop Singapore. Still haven’t packed and stuff.
