Heaven is a place where the lovers are Italian, the cooks are French, the mechanics are German, the police are English, the government is run by the Swiss. Hell is a place where the lovers are Swiss, the cooks are English, the mechanics are French, the police are German, the government is run by the Italians.

What are Italian lovers like?

I regret learning piano! I hate practising and I hate doing things that I hate doing. Last week I had a relief piano teacher. She's like what I'd imagine a piano teacher to be like- gentle, softspoken, skirtwearing. Relief teachers are nice to play with, give ridiculous excuses and blank stares.

Teacher: Your tempo is not steady. Do you have a metronome?
Me: I have two.
Teacher: Do you practise with your metronome?
Me: I told you i don't practise one.

Teacher: When was the last time you practised this piece?
Me: Uhh I never practised. The last time I played it was last piano lesson.
.

Teacher: You are missing your decorations. When practising, do you simply run through the piece? Or do you do slow practice?
Me: Neither.

It's driving me mad. Piano make me cannot go out with my mum on Sundays. Hairspas and facials. Eating gourmet chocolate. Queueing up for free stuff. Going out with Ma is always carefree. No need to bring handphone, wallet, umbrella, tissue.

I don't know how different I'll be when I return from UK. I don't feel like going how. I love the hot weather as much as I love complaining about it. Anywhere in Singapore (main island), home is never more than 1hour away. Shops here play familiar songs that I can sing along to. I step out of my house on a weekday afternoon and meet at least 5 people I know. Ahhh. London is damn cool, but Singapore is home.

I'm getting a bit vain. I want to perm my lashes and keep long hair again. I want to wear heels. I love those pointy heels! But I'll only wear them after I inject anesthesia in my toes. Or if David will be there! Then he can piggyback this XXXXL field pack around. Arghh nooo. I sound like some bimbo or bobo. Sneakers la, sneakers.

Sian-zilla is attacking us. Went to the park to jog one night. Failed attempt to train up for the Shape run. Or walk, in my case. Barely 3 rounds, no more stamina already. Just took one woman with strong BO to knock me out. As I crawled back home, overheard some guys saying it's bad to jog at night because the tress are giving out carbon dioxide. Lol.. it never occured to me. Alright, so I'm not training anymore already.

Recently seeing a lot of certain scholars around. That day, a big group silently staring at 4 cards on the floor, spoiling the romantic scene at clarke quay. And a smaller group crowding round a makeshift movie theatre, pieced together with food, laptop, speakers and woffler(??). Hahaha my newfound friends are such dears! Here are pictures. I just chose those with me inside. Excluding the unglam shots.

The girl in pink is Michelle. She is a tyrant, bully and meanie. Frighteningly emo. Sometimes nuts, quoting things like "Women are like potato chips. You can't just have one." And I hate her smileys. But I still can't help liking her sooo much. She's a must-have at gory movie screenings too, cos she provides comic relief. And she's great online company at 4am in the morning.
