yesterday. today. tomorrow.

so you grow up, grow older, grow wiser...
you learn that you are never the same as yesterday.

yesterday i could party all week and go on the next day.
today, i need 48hrs just to recover from one nite out.

yesterday i wished i looked older, mature.
today, i wish people would shut up about my age.

yesterday i remember all my contact numbers by heart.
today, i am lost without my iPhone.

yesterday, being impatient was a way of life.
today, being patient lets you live longer.

yesterday, money made sense.
today, money makes sense.

Mm... screw yesterday and today.
i'm looking forward to tomorrow.

don't have kids

ever wonder why singaporeans speak bad english?
well, not all singaporeans but almost most.
you hear them everywhere.
neighbors. students. consultants. beauty queens.
the list goes on.
and i just found out Why.
it's the parents.
when kids are young, specially when they are toddlers,
parents talk to them in this 'cutezy' manner.
haven't you heard them speak?
''Oh! see the bird bird!''
''ger-ger, come come.''
''hot hot! slowly eat soup.''
''don't run run then you fall!''
''hug hug'' ''kiss kiss'' ''pee pee''
serious. serious. why the need to repeat to words?
and its worst when these kids mumble sentences.
they need to learn how to enunciate.
parents need to learn that how they talk, speak and interact
with their toddlers will result in how their babies will end up
speaking, behaving and interact in their grown lives.

so if you are a parent, please start now.
speak good english.

or don't have kids.

the choice is urs.

dehydrated.

doing what i do sometimes has its perks.
ok. fine. most of the t... ok. ALL THE TIME.

when i take on a project, my clients usually tend to pamper me.
whether it's at a cool cafe or a fancy restaurant, they pick the tab.
when its new product, i get to try them first.
and sometime i get to take them home.
from perfumes to shoes to 1 of a Kind... i am pampered.
within the last month, i have been "presented'' with,
a S$600 watch, 2 tailored shirts,
some hair products ( don't ask me why??? ),
more makeup products and a ring worth S$3600.
how blessed am i!?!

so imagine my shock today when i got to take home
a very large bottle of SKII Miracle Water to help hydrate my
very tired skin that has been working 3 days in a row.
wait. that wasn't the shock.
when my Series Director calls to tell me he lost his iPad2
while we were filming today.
wait. that is still not the shock.
me franticly emptying my tote bag to search for all the location
contacts we were in today.
no. the tote bag isn't it.
my very large bottle of SKII Miracle Water which was to help
hydrate my very tired skin broke.
and all the Miracle Water was splashed on my shirt
and was running down the floor tiles.
now u can react.
the horror of seeing the accident happen in front of me eye.
my personal items displayed as the world walks by. clueless.
the tragedy of standing still with everything exposed.
keys. wallet. my iPad2. lighter. my iPhone,
with my Director hanging on the line.

in moments like this all you can do is just take a deep breath
and wish you didn't answer the DAMN PHONE!

i held my head up.
picked my stuff up and went straight for the train.
dehydrated.
