• Watched Garfield on VCD. Boring movie, but Garfield was the star and I thought he was great. Laughed like mad when he made the 'L for loser' sign at the vet's and when he was on the armchair watching the 'Hey Mama' video and grooving to the music.


• I should really watch the Bridget Jones Diary DVD I rented. I watched for the first 10 minutes or so and got bored. My love for Working Title films couldn't win over my dislike for Renée Zellweger. :/ That stupid pout, which is natural for her, not her fault, really gets on my nerves. But I sure could relate to that scene at the beginning where Bridget Jones was in her pyjamas, lip-synching to that song alone, with evidence of pigging out and books, books and more books all around her. She works in publishing after all.


• Recalled that Wimbledon had a couple of songs by Sugababes, I think. Working Title must really love Sugababes. ;) And Girls Aloud.


• The French film festival is coming soon, and I'm having trouble deciding what movies I wanna watch. Partially it's also because it clashes with Ramadan, which doesn't make it convenient. Plus I have some guilt watching R(21) movies during Ramadan.


• I'm nuts about The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. We get the Global Edition of that show on CNN on cable. Thing is, I don't think it's as funny as the regular ones. I can get clips of the show online, and I don't think it's as funny as the Global Edition. The Global Edition is edited and censored, probably. But The Daily Show is funniest with the political wisecracks - and we don't get enough of that on the Global Edition.

The thing is, my heels have always been dry. I wear open-toed/open-backed sandals a lot because of the heat and humidity in Singapore. On top of my weight, I guess my heels take on a lot of abuse. But I really can't be bothered to put on cream or whatever on my feet, then put on socks before I sleep.

It took me a while to bother with moisturisers and body lotion. Mainly because being in the air-conditioned office dries the skin a lot, and my skin when it's very dry, will get itchy and sensitive. The discomfort and inconvenience of all that forced me to bother with moisturiser and body lotion. Now lotion for the feet too. Bummer.

I can't abide all these, because I guess I see them as signs of vanity. But now they're becoming more and more necessary for my well-being.

Same thing with make-up. I really couldn't be bothered, until I got this new job position and my boss likes to call me into meetings with guests and international publishing reps at the last minute. I realised that I would need make-up to make a good impression. I have fairly good skin, but killer dark eye rings, no thanks to irregular sleep schedule (and all that because of work and long commutes, of course).

Between Ace and my siblings, I have enough negative situations to turn me off having kids, I tell you. My colleague was complaining about how difficult it is to handle her toddler, and me, the still-single-woman-in-her-early 20's who is much younger than her, just said, "Now is not too bad yet. Wait till they get in their teens."

I swear, I'm a 40-year-old stressed-out crank in a 24-year-old body. But wait. I don't even look 24. BOOOO.
