Too short a meet, dearies. I still miss you two :)

I’ve always been a one watch woman, in the sense that I will only own one watch at any given point of time, and will wear it day in and day out until it dies on me. And I really mean day in and day out, as I would be wearing the same watch for ALL occasions - beach? prom? work? Anything goes.

So recently, my bling-bling Puma watch dad got me died on me, by having the whole strap split on its sides. Also, a few of the bling-blings had dropped out in the rough tumble of its owner, so I had to finally get down to getting a new watch.

Crestfallen upon finding out that the watch I was eyeing on costs a whopping $380, I reluctantly surveyed the market and fell in love with the following:-

This is way belated but nevertheless :P For Claire’s 20th birthday, Ashrithaa and I wanted to do up a big surprise for her, but the spoiler already had plans for us so that was out of the window. Thus, we settled on a mini surprise on the day before her birthday (wanted to make it midnight but I had work the next day).

Thus, Ash came over to my place at around 7pm and we proceeded in making a humongous card for the birthday girl. Whilst brainstorming ideas, Claire had replied one of Ash’s messages by saying something like”What 20th? I’m only turning 18!“. Ash, being the ever creative (and vulgar) one, came up with an idea and I was appointed the person who would by designing most of the card.

As you can see, the front of the card says “Eighteen, my ass!“. And if you open up the card, you’ll see (I LOVE this part)

During my schooling years, I used to be able to stay energized the entire day with only 3 hours of sleep. Fast forward to the current Faddy, even with 6 hours of sleep (that’s double the amount, mind you) I find myself lumbering around with droopy eyes more often then not. At times I asked myself if it’s one of the symptoms of an aging body (chet, as if I am THAT old hehe) or merely the fact that I’m getting lazier?

It’s been a long, long while since I’ve last done any proper exercises (you know, the kind which leave you breathless by the time you’re done) and we all know that there is a correlation between the level of physical activities a person indulges in and how energized that person can be. Simply put, less exercises equates to a weaker body and vice versa.

As a solution to end all our silly arguments happening consistently the past few weeks, Haikal and I had a no holds barred talk and as mentioned, we managed to come out stronger then before, Alhamdulillah. As a ‘peace offering’ (hehe), he decided to take charge in planning our 10th Monthsary.

In the morning, he had woken me up and told me to dress light as well as to bring along the straw mat that we had collectively bought to use during our outings. Being told this information, I had already assumed that we were heading to either the Botanic Gardens or any of Singapore’s beaches. And I was right on the dot, as he gleefully ushered me into the park.

Hehe ok, finally I managed to clear all comments and e-mails, and updated my links :) Beep me if i missed any of yours! Have a good week ahead darlings!

I admit that this IS a sweeping statement to make but I have to say that in most occasions where I am faced with a nightmare of a Taxi Driver, chances are higher that the cab is owned by SMRT. Conversely, it is in my opinion that the best Taxi Drivers come from COMFORT.

Before I begin, I would like to clarify that I am what someone would call a ‘bo-pian’ passenger. I get into a cab, inform the cabby of my destination and sit back. I am blind towards his choice of routes (he might very well be turning around and around Singapore and I wouldn’t know), and his choice of hospitality. Meaning, if he chooses to strike a conversation, I would continue by throwing the ball back onto his court and if he chooses to keep silent, I will be found dozing off in the back seat. Upon destination, I make payment promptly, even tip if it’s a few cents of change, and say my pleasantries.

So basically, if I say that a cabby had pissed me off, it very well means that he was taking that extra effort to be an asshole.

Looking at the amount of effort (or rather, lack of) that I have been putting into the blog these few weeks, it remains but a wonder to me that there are still some of you lurking around. And it’s an even bigger amazement to still receive emails of encouragement from netizens whom I know naught about :) Love love!

On a related note, my procrastination could very well be my downfall. I have a ton of emails dating a MONTH back to clear; both blog-wise and personal, and I swear every single time Windows Live completes its loading, all enthusiasm to reply emails and comments had sauntered out the door and I think, to the neighbor downstairs. Karaoke in decibels not meant for public consumption at anytime of the day? That’s them alright. Sometimes I seriously wonder where they keep their sense of consideration. Stuffed deep in the recesses of their ears perhaps? What else could explain blasting Dangdut at midnight?

Anyway, I’ve been toying with the idea of quitting blogging altogether as it’s been months now that I feel like blogging has lost its appeal. I no longer feel the intense desire and need to jot down every minuscule details of my life the moment I get home, preferring to snuggle in between covers with the boyfriend on the other line, relaying my day to him. Less effort, more comfortable and I don’t have to keep tabs on what I say.

So this will be my last entry on Fingersdontfing.com, and I love all of you, and I promise that before I get lost, I will reply all comments and emails :) I guess, it’s the very least I can do for all your wonderful support and love-pills you guys have prescribed to me all these time!
