busted
ok...so i'm busted. i am a big lovatts fan. thanks to sau yan and sui san for being my suppliers. it's tough to find good crossword puzzles around here. to be honest...my mom was the one who got me into this whole obssession with crossword/word puzzles thingey. it all started when i was going through a very tough time so i had a lot of free time to throw around. so my mom suggested that i help her with her crosswords. eventually it stuck and i could be engrossed in a crozzie for almost 6 hours a day. but i have a confession...i've never been able to complete an entire lovatts crossword. it's tough. which is probably why i keep trying.anyway...the week passed by pretty fast. i came back to singapore on wednesday but i'll be going home again tomorrow. it felt like only yesterday that i took the bus back to singapore after spending a great 9 days back home. oh well...one of the great things about working in singapore is that it takes up a whole lot of my time so there is nothing else to do and it's not very far from home so i can go back whenever i want to. i have a feeling my friends back home will be seeing less of me sooner or later. it's not cheap to be travelling back and forth every week.
i've spent most of my time watching gilmore girls. after 'friends' finished its final season and 24 ended it's 3rd season i was in desperate need to engage in another tv show. at first i had a thing for west wing (i still do) but i found gilmore girls to be more engaging. i love the idea of 'stars hollow'. everyone is just so wacky in that little town. sometimes i wished i stayed in a little town where everyone knows everyone else and things are peaceful and everybody is friendly. everyone would be quirky in someway or another which makes things fun and exciting. i've always been a fan of spontanaeity and suspense. the idea of not knowing what's going to happen next or what the person next to me is going to say or how people are going to react. that's why i enjoy the company of my friends. they're quirky...not too quirky...just the right mixture of quirky and civilised. i have no idea how the two can mix but if any of you know andrew...he's got a good mix.
anyway...time to get some rest. trying to finish an entire season of gilmore girls on a working night is not funny. luckily for me i get to sleep at the office :)
