Are We There Yet?
"But you'll never find, peace of mind, till you listen to your heart"
- from the song Kissing A Fool
Here are a few of my favourite things:
Book of the week: If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend (by Alison Pace), a light, sparkly love story set in the art world.
Album of the week: Tsai Chin's retro hits
Dish of the week: A tie between crab linguine swimming in creamy tomato sauce at Menotti's and garlicky char kuay teow at Marine Parade food centre.
Work was so exhausting, I literally spent the whole of today in bed. Thank goodness next week is vacation week. But before going, the pain before the gain - an interview I have to do for ad industry wanker.... Remember that pesky guy from last year that wanted publicity for an event six months down the road? Well, the six months have passed, and he's at it again.
Once in a blue blue moon, when I have to do a non-story, I feel like such a sell-out. Perhaps it's something a waiter would feel when he has to serve a dish that he knows is icky, or a used car salesman who has to sell what he knows is a wreck. You feel sorry for the end user.
A good story speaks for itself. A non-story is just maybe one part information and nine parts spin.
Something to look forward to though, is the trip to Istanbul. It's a 20 hour journey, in proletariat class.... I don't fly well, sweethearts. Can imagine popping my head every now and then in the cockpit and asking,''Are we there yet? Huh? Huh?"
But it's a dream holiday we've been planning for months. A land of byzantine-era mosques and
rooftop terraces strewn with cushions, where you can watch the golden sunset with a drink in hand.
Can't wait for Tuesday... Are we there yet?
