tequila sunrise

Last day at school.
Back to university on Monday.
Sucks.
Life moves too fast for my liking.
Tired, headachey, and grumpy as hell about missing my Puppy. Very. Grumpy.

“What’s that noise in the background?” Puppy asks over the phone from camp. “Oh,” I reply, “it’s the construction.”
“At this time?” He’s incredulous and not a little pissed on my behalf, and it’s not hard to see why - it’s 11.45pm and they’re still going at it. If I remember correctly (based [...]

Don’t you just hate it when the toilet seat you’re sitting on is cracked, so that it pinches your bum flesh when you get up? And not just cracked in one place, either, cracked on both sides, so that you get pinched on both butt cheeks.
We need a new toilet seat in the staff [...]

After about 18 years of keeping my kids savings account with OCBC, in one afternoon they’ve completely destroyed any chance of keeping me as a client.
I’m going to close down that account and open a second account with POSB instead.
OCBC sucks monkey ass.
First the whole afternoon was spent verbally tussling with the girl at the [...]

Well, there you have it.
Teachers are just as grumpy about going back to school after holidays as the students are.
And we’re the ones who have to put a cheerful face on.
Grumps.
:(

The field beneath my window used to be a lush, verdant, vaguely muddy, sparse sort of grassy field where (topless) men often converged to play soccer with two creaky goals.
Sometimes children would attempt to fly their kites.
I once fell and skinned my knee running across this field.
I often looked out my window and watched people [...]

Am helping puppy out with proofreading and copy-writing at the moment. It causes a physical pain in my heart to read some of the stuff I have to correct and edit.
If I had a dollar for every time I snorted in disgust or flinched during my reading, I would already have enough money to [...]

I’m bloody exhausted and I want to lay down and die; only I took tea to get through the interminable meeting, so I’m too wide awake to lie down, and I have a dinner to attend, so I don’t have the time to die.
I’m so tired.

I went for the Singapore Airshow.
Since work starts tomorrow and I am eager to sleep, it will be brief.
We drove past Pasir Ris, goggled eyes at the queue stretching round the bus interchange AND around White Sands, and promptly took a U-turn to go to Expo. Paying $5 each for a crappy bus ride [...]

I don’t know what Rihanna’s problem is but her last two singles have been nothing short of soul-destroyingly annoying.
If I hear that song just one more time I am going to stuff the radio full of fish guts and feed it to a twelve-foot crocodile in the Amazon river.
(Wait. Are there crocs in the [...]
