Wouter met me at my hotel, waited outside for ten minutes while I changed. He took me to the Sky Lounge at Hilton Double Tree. He bought me a glass and a half of wine. He walked me back to my hotel; it was only across the Amstel, but the gesture is not insignificant.

This morning, he was at the market near his, the one that he brought me to during ( Read more... )

It is 1.03pm and I am only halfway through my lunch. Where the hell did my time go? Granted, I got out of bed at 9.30am today or something ridiculous, did my laundry and went to the gym at 11am; and so my entire day was delayed from the very moment I did not get out of bed when I woke up at 8.30am. But I had a really shitty dream in which some ( Read more... )

From Gilmore Girls, Season 3 Episode 1, 'Those Lazy-Crazy-Hazy Days of Summer':

Lorelai: I feel like I’m never gonna have it...the whole package, you know? That person, that couple life, and I swear, I hate admitting it because I fancy myself Wonder Woman, but...I really want it - the whole package.

While running along the Cam this morning, my house key in my right hand and the long, dangly cord of the Apple earphones swaying about in the wind, my limbs suddenly became somewhat entangled with the dangly cord. I remember trying to regain my balance; I also remember the split second of panic before I cried out in the exact same second that I ( Read more... )

I woke up late-ish today, at about 11am. The original plan was to have beehoon at Maxwell Food Centre, but when my mom and I got there, we found out that the entire hawker centre was closed for spring cleaning. What terrible luck we had! The spring cleaning was also just for one day (i.e. today) so the timing was quite terrible. It was no wonder, ( Read more... )

He comes to me in my sleep, flesh and blood that I can touch, his voice pure, his eyes looking directly into mine. We are somewhere in the United Kingdom; Cambridge, probably. My fingers are on his forearm, closing around it with some pressure, as if holding on to something slippery, such as a fish out of water ( Read more... )

Today has been one giant ball of suck.

I was suddenly informed that there's a mitigation plea tomorrow, and that the bundle was to be done by the end of the day. This was around 3 p.m.

In the midst of that, I had to make repeated phone calls to a doctor who never picked up his phone or was never in the office, and when he finally picked up his ( Read more... )

I had the dumbest and scariest dream ever. I actually dreamt that Switzerland lost the Davis Cup play-off, happening this weekend, to Belgium, and that Roger won all his matches except the doubles with Wawrinka ( Read more... )

I had a horribly disturbing dream that's entirely capable of opening up a can of worms that's better left sealed tight, buried or thrown away, and it wasn't a horrible dream at all because it was really nice, but it's horrible precisely because it was really nice. I woke up with a migraine that's lasted 48 hours now and it's not hard to figure out ( Read more... )
