i'm frustrated with my dad
i'm frustrated with the way i am
the way things are
my lack of interest in doing anything about it
the god damn weather
the cable tv channels

and if it's any consolation,

i really miss my mum.

happy mother's day

Fight Club Flight Card

too many things to like about Fight Club - the flight scene is just one of my faves!

and the best phrase ever - 'calm as hindu cows'
so darn flippant a simile but it makes a lot of sense if you think about it. cows are sacred in hinduism so they're always calm and peaceful, without needing to worry about being slaughtered like their other animal counterparts.

(may i add i'm blogging this at 530 in the morning, where i tend to be at the most absurd)

The GT Mojito

i've this love affair with mint leaves. i never fail to grab a packet when i'm at the supermarket,
adding it to anything i can think up of.
but the above is probably my best concoction yet...
it so refreshing it makes for a great summer drink!

Here's what goes in
copious amount of mint leaves and 1 squeezed calamansi - muddle well
ice, 2 parts Bacardi Limon Rum (credits to mah ziwei)
fill the glass with Pokka Green Tea. Stir.

FYI, the name to this cocktail has a double meaning. Go figure!

Summer Skin

The thing i love about Tingy87 is that she's always just a call away. we'd wake up at 2pm on a saturday afternoon, have a standard opening whatsapp line, call each other and blabber nonsense for an hour before we decide to do something spontaneously. This was just another of those saturdays, one filled with a very short dress, me making her pose in a silly fashion, sweltering under the relentless sun, hideous laughters, and island cremery.

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the seasons change was a conduit
And we left our love in our summer skin
