Carpet Working

I came home half past two last night, which is the latest I have come home in a very long time. Ash was managing an event and needed help, so I did. It was great fun and I walked away with more experience than I had before. Every opportunity I get to learn something new, I take!

Shouting for Japan

Saturday was a long day. We got so many things done that Sunday flew by with nothing done at all. I guess that is how we spend our weekends - one day doing things, the other doing nothing. It is functional. Highly recommend. It is nice especially since John is working five days a week, so when weekends come I want to do things with him and he wants to do nothing. Works out quite perfect!

Cheering Cherry!

There has been a lack of posts on this blog lately. One can say I have been in a trench, if that is an expression used by other people than me. I will try and be better, try and write more about thoughts and discoveries and not just what I do during a day. It feels like that will be more interesting. At least that is what I think!

City Kitty Comeback

The two previous Thursdays I have been too unwell to help out at The Cat museum. Yesterday I went back, feeling like I had been away from school for two weeks and was about to return. Would they remember me? Would they question me? Am I the only one thinking these questions in similar situations? 

Burning Barbecue

We ended last week with a barbecue at The Minton. The Minton is a condominium, much like d'Leedon where we live. John's colleague Elson lived there and had invited a bunch of friends to a long lived feast.

Fucking Bunnies

Our good friend Dawn invited us to go see a short movie her long time acquaintance had written and starred in. We knew nothing more about the movie than the name: Fucking Bunnies. It was screened at a place called The Projector, known for its high prices and hipster setting. I had never been there, John had but in another part of the building.

Triumphant Volunteer

Another day at The Cat Museum. John and I discussed if it is still called "my job" even if I do not get paid. We both agreed it is still work, since it is voluntary work. I do enjoy going there every week; the cats are lovely and most of the costumers are friendly. I have gotten to know some of other volunteers and are making new friends.

Gift Giving Give Up

Rain in Singapore can really keep one from going outside. This was the case of today and it was not only stopping me from going, it was also stopping Ash. We were supposed to meet at Nex by twelve thirty, but the weather was so bad that even going the few meters to the stations was impossible. Eventually we figured it out!

Potato Movie

Ash and Dawn came over yesterday for dinner and a movie. I really enjoy hanging out with those two, but their choice of movies are not the best in my opinion. They both really like horror movies, the kind that leaves me laying awake in bed long after they have left. Though last night we decided on a chick-flick...

Much Needed Hug

Last week Ash and I had a small dispute, where I was totally in the wrong and Ash had every right to be angry. After an explanation and apology over text, as modern people do these days, we made plans to meet today at Nex.

Thursday Duty

It was a long day Thursday. Between leaving the condo and getting down to the cool underground subway-station, I was soaking in sweat. During "winter" in this tropical country I forgot summers are even warmer! When it is thirty-two degrees, it feels like forty. But I am not complaining! I am enjoying the heat.

A Quick Catch-up

I have not been posting anything new here as frequently as I wish. A haunting headache while being social is not a great combo. When alone, with John still around, I was resting or fast asleep. Here is a long post about what has happened since Friday.

Food, Books and Cats

Third times a charm, right? This time at The Cat Museum was the best so far, and the busiest. I had a great time with the other volunteers and the cats were so playful. Though I need to stop buying books every Thursday, or else I am going to end up like a library.

B-Day BBQ

One of John's colleagues turned 32 recently. John was invited to his birthday barbecue and I came along as his plus one. Some of the other guests I knew from previous gatherings and such, but most were complete strangers.

Sushi Cats

On Thursday it was the second time I volunteered at The Cat Museum. Seeing as I needed to be there half past three, I thought I would have a late sushi lunch at Bugis. I have been a bad friend as of late, so I invited Dawn to join me.

Recap & Thoughts on Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2

I am so disappointed in this movie! The first movie was great with original characters and interesting plot, but this... The plot seemed to waver and the introduction of new characters felt unused. Though I enjoyed a continuation of Star-Lord's story, I did not like where it was going.

Spoilers ahead.

Cinco de Mayo - Singaporean Version

If you are planning an event, specifically a celebration with cheap drinks, do estimate how many people will attend. Last night when we arrived a Chimichanga it was so crowded! The restaurant was a hole in the wall with few tables outside. It was ridiculous!

One Unforeseen Celebration

Holidays and celebration has never been a big part of my life. I never really enjoyed Christmas, never understood Easter, liked Halloween for a while but later lost interest since the original purpose was lost to the modern world. There are some holidays only celebrated in Sweden, or in few European countries, which I did take part in but never understood. Such as Walpurgisnacht, which was last weekend.

Feed Me Friends

I get a few weekends alone here and there when John is away on business trips. Not once during those times have I had the idea of bringing over some girlfriends. My mind is great in many ways, but avoiding boredom and loneliness is not a skill I possess. Though I planned a girls' night a week ago, I thought (for once) it would be better to have it while John was away on a not-business trip (actually a friends/colleagues trip).

Trading Stories

I decided to join a book swapping club over at a website called MeetUp. They had one meeting yesterday, but it was not their first. It was my first and some of the people I met seemed to be new too. The theme was Mystery Book, which meant all participants needed to bring a wrapped up book with a few words on the wrapping paper that described it.
