what's pink and fluffy?

Me apparently.

A week or two ago when I was horribly sick, my parents went out and bought me a robe! It's really... fibrous and furry - super nice to touch; I seem to be getting more hugs outta the fam with this robe on harhar.

I like to style this robe with the sleeves pulled up and hair in a ponytail when I am performing domestic duties. Check out my fading ombre arm tan!

Of course everything looks more beautiful with a filter applied!

Downloaded the City2Surf app today and I was gobsmacked by the suggested training regime - it bruised my ego so badly. If you follow their 10 week training plan for beginners, you should already be stuck in the later stages of week 2, training 5 days a week, and reaching a long run of 8km. WHAT THE HELL. I was so proud of doing 4km on the treadmill :( :(

SO MUCH JUNK MAIL

 Anyway, no thanks to facebook, I found out about the wiki game. I played and got better.  When people throw motivational comments at me like "YOU WON!", I can't stop. This is why I don't gamble.

Seven legged octopus?

Best I ever got

Last game I played

When it comes to internet games, I guess I am a bad sport (except Pang96 - anytime is a good time for Pang96; nothing like nostalgia and adrenaline rolled up into one). I couldn't get 1st ever so.. yeah ragequit.

Slightly digressing (to a more interesting topic, I assure you), recently a friend asked me what I thought about gold digging. And by this, I assumed she meant preying on old men for moolah - I said I thought it was ok if you actually had feelings for your sugardaddy. Hmm. I felt weird typing that. But anywho, it got me thinking about age difference. What is an acceptable age difference? 

Thanks wiki - you really do have everything.

So there's the half-you-age-plus-seven "rule", but I have mixed feelings about this. The easiest way to illustrate this is with scenarios:

1. Younger person= 16/17, older person = 20
3-4 year age difference doesn't seem like much, but if you think about it, the younger person is someone in high school. Is that really ok? When someone gave me this scenario, my first reaction was "oh yeah, no probs 3-4 years is nothing". But then I realised K is 16/17, and I most definitely would not be ok with her going out with someone in/almost-graduating from uni. Perhaps this is my overprotectiveness talking, but er no way.

2. Younger person = 20, older person = 25
Again, 5 years doesn't seem like that much, but in real life terms, that is like an intern going out with and almost manager. This is actually based on a true story (old story, but true nonetheless - the couple are now happily married with kids and are still working in the same coy). Maybe there would have been less shock factor if both people didn't work in the same office/floor/project. But yes, come performance review time, I imagine the claws were out and there was a bit of bitching going around.

3. Younger person = 35, older person = 55
I think you start getting called a cradle snatcher/cougar at this point. Sad times, but quite frankly, you could be the other person's mother/father.

4. Younger person =65, older person = off the charts
Not much to say about this. Just wanted you to think and imagine what it would look like :)


While I was doing some research about accommodation in LA/NYC, I found a 23yo girl's blog. At first I didn't realise she was married and I was just scrolling through pictures of luxe-lookin' food from exxy restaurants, LV speedy's, designer make up, designer fashion, exxy home decor and I was just thinking, uh, wah?

23 yo, living in the middle of the city, admin in an accounting firm... affording all this?  What am I doing wrong? I don't see myself in the same place in a few years...

And then I learned she had a husband 10 years her senior.

I guess it comes in handy to have one of those when you're a semi-famous lifestyle blogger.

Regardless, I adore her blog. Domestic divinity - reading it makes me feel like I am living frugally, therefore less guilt. I know it's all relative, but it serves as temporary guilt relief.


Ah this is bad. It's 3.30 and I am knee deep in someone else's life. I tried going to  bed, but just started surfing the net on my netbook. :(

Exams could not come sooner. I just want to get them over and done with.

Important announcement - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to le BFF. We are finally the same age again (although at times I feel like you act like the more mature one).  I'm really glad that 10 years ago, I had an argument with the other girl and that I moved bunks at camp. And thank you for swapping beds with me after I continually hit my head on the bunk bed bar - you saved me 10000000 brain cells. I hope you have a really, really lovely day (despite exams and all) because I reckon you really deserve it :D I won't come pester because I know you have a valuations exam on Monday. Good luck - knowing you, you'll probs ace it with no probs.

[Background story- so in yr 5 we had a camp to Kurrajong. I was sharing a bunk with a girl - who I had a falling out with on the night of the camp.  In frustration, I bunked with C who was sleeping in the top bunk.  Back then, I had this strange obsession with the game Go Fish and I kept leaving my bed to play with the other girls in the cabin. But everytime I left my bed, I'd hit my head on the metal railing supporting the top bunk, and the same thing would happen when I got back in bed. Maybe I'm just retarded, but I never learned to dodge the bar that night.  Anyway, she either got really frustrated after continually being woken by the GLONNNGGGG of my skull on the railing, or maybe she just acted out of kindness (I'm sure its the latter - lol), but she offered to let me sleep up the top (not something every other 10/11 year old would do). That kindness I'll always remember ahaha.]


Long post. I finally feel sleepy enough to go back to bed.

Happy Sunday y'all. I hope we get a bit of sunshine in the morning!


PS. Can you believe I got sucked into NBA? I've been watching the finals and its MAAAAADD.  I believe this interest will fade once exams are over.
