 ummm it's been ages, but let's hope i can fall back into writing as smoothly as possible, and start over without all those picture-story shit.  Why had I needed to divert from words and used pixels instead?

  Had a thought about a private blog, but it's 3am and I just wana write, curtained or exposed.

==========

Here we go -- I haven't written in almost half a year, whether it was in this blog, or in whatever personal/creative endeavours (minus work and college apps), so some transitions might be jagged, but I never went to lit class anyway.  

Writing always makes me think and presses... (more)</description>

      <title>HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK - PUN INTENDED</title>

    I got my hair coloured today with five different shades of highlights/lowlights - copper, ash grey, blond, dark brown, [something] - so it's no longer the super virgin black but a very trend-right assortment of pigments.  The studio even had a name for it - Angel of Darkness or something that sounds like that.  And anyway, contrary to popular expectation, I can't post up a picture because a camera's flash can't reflect all the shades nicely and any attempts might just capture a flat color suited (quoting someone) for a chinese porn dvd seller, though my hair (*protective*) is a world...

          Today is The Day, The Day that glows around the edges and gives me free time to have a House season 4 marathon, The Day that screams no schedule! and wake up as late as you can!.  And of course, the day to blog.  Yep, we are talking about Saturday.  The beginning of a work-free weekend.  (Though actually I did bring some work home.)

Anyway, as usual, allow me to drone on the highlights of this week, the most recent and best being my brand spanking new Levi's, gifted by Levi's Asia's President after an incredibly satisfactory interview and chat with him during the Flagship store... (more)</description>

    Lest you think this space has turned into a cyberspace morgue, it's Friday night again and I am finally free (enough) to sprinkle some much needed water here.

I felt exceptionally productive this week - work-wise (wish I could say the same bout my studies and uni applications though), hitting several milestones - attending my first invitation-only launch, specifically, the launch of the new BCBG store in Pavilion; mingling for the first time with big-timers in a purely social setting; and committing my first major blooper at work.

If any of you saw my live program on-air, on tuesday,... (more)</description>

 Yesterday my entire family (big bro who's living on campus here in M'sia aside) departed for India, where dad works, as the younger siblings are already on school holidays.  The trip wil last tentatively around 2 months, but their return might get postponed indefinitely should the migration attempt work out.  So I am effectively at my own devices now.

All alone at a quiet home is an unprecedented change, I mean, I have been left at home sans parents before, but never without the noisy siblings.  And this change propelled me into realising the size of this world, as there's a real chance... (more)</description>

    Today I woke up at 8am, from a never ending dream of running.  Somehow my brain conjured up the picture where someone I care about but had no idea who had wound up at a hospital, and I had to run all the way to the hospital, stopping at every intersection to ask for directions.  It wouldn't have been so bad if I had actually gotten there, but instead it gets farther and farther, and it gets dark, and I am still running.  I wonder if dreams of running burn real calories.

So I woke up at the crack of dawn and had the opportunity to relish the silence, before the young 'uns get up and... (more)</description>

      <title>OPEN HOUSE</title>
      <link>http://vivacia.blogdrive.com/archive/263.html</link>

      <description>Early this morning I woke up to a text from a designer whose home I shot for my programme, asking me if I were at the TV station's Raya open house today.  I searched through my memory and remembered that today there was to be an open house, so rounded up my whole family into the car and set off for some free food.  




Catered by the 5-star Millennium Hotel, the food was unlike all the conventional open houses (read: bad food), and served by suit-donning waiters albeit the sweltering heat, this open house was a pleasing affair.  And the best part was definitely the HARLEYS!

       ...In the end, love has got very little to do with  everything, because when the stars aren't aligned and the sun is  eclipsed, even pain is irrelevant, hurt insignificant.  The only  thing not too outrageous to ask for is a proper closure, and then I get  off the ride.

     EDIT: Closure granted, passionately.  My heart's mine to control again, mine only.

    On one assignment to Batting Cages at One Utama, the sun was blazing, but the fun was amazing!



Interviewing Tim the owner (love this pic, I look busy!)




Taking a swing




Took my bro along for some free shots


This place is a great change from the movie+pool+bowling combo of a typical One Utama outing, and at RM7 per 15 shots it's affordable enough.

Yesterday, dad came back from India for an impromptu visit! Here's a very first picture of the kids with daddy dearest.



India has turned dad's headful of lush black hair into sparse crops in a drought! Smile's still... (more)</description>
