Love traveling. Some people hate airports; most of the time I am in quiet awe of the sense of purpose that infuses the air. Everyone has somewhere to go, someone to meet, something to do. It’s that something in common that transcends all races; still the barrier lies in the reluctance to break the ice between strangers. Ironically for all the material possessions that I own, I am happiest living out of a suitcase chasing flights and familiarising foreign street maps.

Have discovered the best place for op-shopping in Malaysia: eBay. Vintage by the truckloads from all eras! So in love with maxi dresses from the 70s and classic Grecian drapes, angel wing sleeves and light-as-air chiffon. Original 60s mod prints and twiggy dresses (now if only I had twiggy limbs), vintage Gucci leatherware (pre-Tom Ford!!! Oh my…) and cheap PVC-look leggings ala LV this season! Haven’t bought anything though :)

April 18th, 2007
Fashion collabos: Jovovich-Hawk for MNG, Missy E for Adidas, Kate Moss for TopShop, Madonna for H&M, Proenza Schouler and Isaac Mizrahi for Target, Zac Posen for Seven, Mischa Barton for Keds, the list goes on. We want more.. yum.

Absolutely digging Sullivan Street - Counting Crows.

March 13th, 2007
1. Packing for the beach is hard with a 7kg limit. Hairdryer: to bring or not to bring?
2. Why is it the more interesting life is the less inclined I am to blog about it, and when it isn’t I am more than likely to bitch/whine/moan?
3. Craving Segambut Seafood Curry Noodles. Was supposed to make a trip there with Nik on Sunday but I overslept.
4. Needing more sleep that I normally get. But how?
5. Scored 8.5/9 in a recent exam; an old high school teacher will probably be overjoyed if she knew (she put me down for smart but hopeless, short attention span, have problems concentrating on tasks at hand, disruptive.. heh.)
6. Two formal events in two weekends.. gotta remember to do my dry cleaning. My white dress from Roy’s Brisbane wedding 4 months ago is still sitting in the ‘to dry clean’ bag.
7. I smoke too much.

March 8th, 2007
1. Totally re-addicted to SomaFM’s Secret Agent: The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For spies and P.I.s too!
2. Have insomnia thus;
3. have been thinking about different states of denial and ignorance and how it affects me. Of course if it is ignorance [I don’t know that I don’t know] then I’d pretty much remain in the dark. Exploring both unconscious [I don’t know that I know] and conscious [I know that I know but I’d rather not know] states of denial has me somewhat confused as to how many things in my life are really (not not really) as perceived.
4. Thrilled with my new Mathmos Airswitch, initially purchased as a christmas gift for TR but heck, it looks nicer in my room I reckon.

February 27th, 2007
1. I’ve just gotten back into my old music. Loves it. Big band breakbeats and whatnot. Trumpets and sax on top of a 40bpm bass line. Whatever you call it. It rocks.
2. Preoccupied with finding: a nice pair of semi-casual shorts, a bikini and a summer dress. Almost bought this long halter dress from Island Shop today, except the ‘long’ was above ankle length.. dammit :/
3. A thought just hit me today; the older I get the less interesting things seem and the less interesting I am to myself. If I am capable of boring myself to bits, what on earth would other people think? My theory is desensitization - the more exposed you are to all the facets that make up ‘life’ the less chance of surprise/amuse/intrigue factor. Hopefully everyone else will be too preoccupied with the same dilemma to pay any attention to the fact that I am actually.. quite boring. Yeah, whatever.

Realising that some times people do things without thinking of the outcome and at these times I should not take it personal because they can turn around and surprise you in the most unexpected ways has kind of chipped away at the icy demeanor I exude. And it’s kinda nice.

Izzy’s Restaurant/Bistro/Bar at Northpoint Mid Valley is a great place for lunch. I’m in love with their tiramisu-in-a-cup, and the creamy seafood spaghetti, and the braised lamb shank on a bed of fluffy basmati rice.. and the fact that they serve lemon lime bitters…

January 11th, 2007
Picked up Belle de Jour’s second book at the airport on the way back from Brisbane. Wonder who has my first book. I tend to lend out books without keeping track of them properly.. grr.

November 28th, 2006
1. Bejewelled sandals
2. Modula fonts (Go go Emigre!) OK, I’ve always liked it but have only recently found a good use for it, so now I’m all over it again. On that note I wish I can get eye magazine here without paying through my arse.
3. Attuning the priest to end game dungeons.. argh. Have to do it all over again.
4. I’ve gone all tactile (again). Textures in print turn me on.. truth.

When you genuinely like or are attracted to someone, its a little harder to be forthcoming especially pertaining to emotions and feelings. Why do people fear rejection so much?
