Wake me up when September ends

On friday, I started typing a post which halfway through, went into a direction of its own and I decided not to publish it. The post was about how moronic I find it when people compare anything and everything to just about anything and everything. Okay. Allow me to explain. I have read bloggers writing about how clothes are like friendships, and food is like makeup or relationships are like cities and all sorts of rubbish analogies which make no sense whatsoever. To illustrate my point, I started on an entirely mind-numbing example - how friends are like teas. The ones that are perfect for spending time with every morning is the english breakfast. The strong, silent ones who almost shock you, are the earl grey. The ones that leave a bad taste in your mouth but are still healthy for you, the herbal green tea. Half way through that example I realised I was making way too much sense in my example that I should be making to prove my point. And that is why, my dears, I deleted that draft. Because I was actually making a brilliant case of why we COULD compare anything and everything to anything and everything. But that is okay... not everyone can do it as brilliantly as I do. Uh huh.

On friday evening, I mustered some courage and asked my hair-stylist to curl my hair. It looked very very different! For the first time ever, a lady walked up to me at the train station and asked - where did you get your hair done and how much did it cost you? I was shocked, I must say. Friends also said it looked good. Sadly, the curls last for just a day. But well, a different look, even though just for an evening, is quite a fun thing to do!

Watched 'Devil wears Prada' on friday night, and absolutely loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Must watch. Even the guys liked it. What can I say?

Anyways, the Basilica de Notre Dame has been framed and hung. My impatience knows no end. After realising that the framing shop will be closed on sunday, I decided to buy an off-the-shelf frame and do it myself. Voila. And then I also bought another 1000 piece one - the Monalisa. Damn my savings plan. I need to enjoy my money. Anyone who will complain about the non-availability of jigsaws, please head to Puzzle World in Suntec City. And do buy me the Monet if you feel extremely generous. The puzzle, of course! *wink*

I also bought a DVD player. So now one does not need to stay holed up inside the room to watch movies on the PC. One shall make use of the comfy pashmina covered armchairs and sit and enjoy SATC on the TV. We likey. A few more nails to be drilled and a few more art pieces to be hung, and then the house will look like a museum will look awesome *gulp*. To celebrate my new resolution to dump the saving plan, I bought a fruity white Beringer. My wine rack looks so very classy now. It also houses a Victorian Red Wine which a friend has passed to me for 'safe-keeping'. And for some reason, I am most tempted to open that very bottle. Talk about forbidden fruit. Sigh.

A new month. A new week. A new day. Be good, my dears. Bon Jour!
