i know it's winter....

but heck i love my new summerish nail colour!

China has officially declared winter 4 days ago. i'm sitting here bundled in my jacket and thermal cos central heating hasn't kicked in yet. it's about 7 degrees during the day, and 0-2 at night. (AAA u better bring more warm clothing)...

But Beijing winter is alot more bearable than shanghai's. It's dry so the cold doesn't seep into ur bones. SH is like a giant refrigerator... u defrost on the outside but the bones are still frozen.

This weekend the company is taking us to the great wall for a fun team building session. It's supposed to snow. Yipee! can't wait.

Killers having fun

I'm a fan of covers, and i'm a fan of the Killers...

My mom-in-law sent me these pictures...

She likes to reminisce the past, tell me cute stories about mountain man and his brother . The most memorable one was of how the younger brother was born premature. Apparently Mountain man was quite an active child, mom-in-law had to chase him up and down macRitchie untill she went into pre-mature labour.

Maybe mountain man couldn't wait to meet his brother. He must have wanted a playmate as soon as possible!

Of course the brothers soon became each other's nemesis...
u can clearly tell who ate up all the food. Yo, ahbui!

Anyway, here's my mom and dad-in-law. Mountain man is a carbon copy of mom!

Try your what?

Was in Shanghai for a day trip yesterday. First flight out, last flight in... i was damn tired by the time i got to Hongqiao airport.

Then i saw this and i was like WHAT??!!!

Ok maybe u are not as dirty minded as i am. but i saw a very slanted "t" and it becomes a different word altogether.

It's OK to...

.... wish it's friday when it's only monday.
.... feel excited about the elections even though you don't know the difference between a republican and a democrat, as long as Obama wins.
.... feel peckish every 2 hours cos u're stress free.
.... not have done real work cos u're blogging at 1130am.
.... sleep in till 130pm and feel sleepy again by 1030pm.
.... surf too much facebook until you know how many weeks your friend's babies are. (plural, not singular)
.... waste time thinking what else is OK to do

Weekend in a flash

Warning: THIS POST HAS VERY WEIRD LAYOUT! I have given up fixing it.

Friday....

I always look forward to Halloween. I normally start brainstorming costumes like a month beforehand. 2 years ago i was the IPOD ad- I wore an afro and stood behind a cellophane sheet with an ipod drawn on it, AAA drew it on for me, but nobody got it. Last year we were the flintstones, this year we came as ... OURSELVES! no time! But nonetheless, there were good food and good company. that's all that matters.

Veron (2nd from left) very kindly organised dinner and drinks with pallies at MED.

The girlies...

This is Kia and Peter... See the little ghost on Kia's hand. She drew it on herself. Apparently she's a freelance face painter! how cool.

Saturday...

Date night!! Went to Mostos, same owner/chef as SALT. I ordered the slow-braised ribs- it comes with this wine sauce and crispy shredded potato. The flavour is quite over-powering, so i got sick of it after a while, had to swop with Mountain Man who had the snapper.

Sunday...

Wanted to do brunch outside but we got so lazy we decided to stay home and eat instant Prima Laksa. It wasn't too bad! We've also tried the prawn noodles and meesiam. Very authentic, but don't eat too much cos it's too processed and full of MSG.

Anyway, see my cute heart-shaped steel sauce plate from japan! so kawaii right!!
