…. in ermine and pearls
September 2nd, 2005Feeling a little frayed from being up since 7.30am after a brief and light night’s sleep (during which I happily dreamt about interacting with white silkie breeders
Getting dressed this morning to send Janine to TTSH, I threw on an all-white Boss ensemble and my new pair of Dior car shoes (yes, the very flat pair in soft brown leather and no traction – but most of you already know my theory about nice shoes and traction). So of course, before noon I had visited not one, but two wet markets at Clementi and Old Airport Road. Emphasis on *wet*.
At one point in some random washroom I just stood there laughing at the ungainly waddling I’d had to do to get there without falling over or splashing my white jeans. It’s important to be able to laugh at yourself, I think. It also helps to make it bearable when it’s other people doing the laughing.

Just about everyone’s gone now. Luen apparently flew back to CA yesterday before I got to say hi, GJ unexpectedly relocated to Edinburgh and Cal’s already somewhere in Germany. I suppose it’s my time to leave pretty soon too. It’s been absolutely wonderful being back though, and feeling utterly comfortable amidst familiar surroundings and friendly faces. I *heart* my family, my friends and my country! *NDP song plays in background*
