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.

I barely took any photos on this trip.

We went to Singapore for ZoukOut etc. It was a great weekend of doing everything and nothing, good music, great company and fabulous food.

Kid Millionaire is just too fucking awesome; he played a set so good that it made LCD Soundsystem feel like comedown. Didn’t hang around too much for AvB, already seen him a few times before.

Met a ton of new and old friends who are general nutters. Was great hanging out with you guys! And as always the shopping in Singapore is crazy during this time of year.

I learned the only way to beat the 200-strong cab queue at 4:30am is to walk up to the cabbie and offer $50 for the ride.

And that Carl’s Jr serves pork in Singapore but not in Malaysia. For obvious reasons.

I love Pepper Lunch.

And Jules, for being awesome as usual.

And Adam for the Vodka :)
