<p>Can&#8217;t wait for the weekend to come.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2802" title="weekend" src="http://www.alexisthetiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/weekend-300x225.jpg" alt="weekend" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m still in the office right now, mind you. How I miss the weekends of riding out to the trails and spending time in the company of trees, rocks and dirt. I&#8217;ve let myself become horribly unfit these days with work and whatnot. Tomorrow, I shall spend an hour in the gym. Or in the pool. Whatever it is, I SHALL work out for an hour this weekend. Whatever it takes.</p>

<p>Let the weekend cooooome!!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m in the process of writing a long tedious post on racial identity but then thought this might be more fun. For the people who are mortified that I am turning into a frivolous idiot creature, well, I <em>have </em>indeed turned into a frivolous idiot creature. A rigorous day job will do that to you. But anyhows, I will be smart when I feel like it, right now, I&#8217;ll show you what we found cleaning out one of the drawers at work the other day.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2744" title="peppers5" src="http://www.alexisthetiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/peppers5-300x225.jpg" alt="peppers5" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s something we must have been given by a client or someone. Its a cretive showreel from Microsoft Advertising. And it features a fishing rod, magnetic fishies and a CD reel of&#8230;something. I didn&#8217;t see what.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2745" title="peppers4" src="http://www.alexisthetiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/peppers4-300x225.jpg" alt="peppers4" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Annnnd, wacky hijinks ensues! Ninja goes fishing! For magnetic fishies while sitting on my laptop but fishing nonetheless. Btw, Ninja&#8217;s really enjoying her new home at my desk.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2746" title="peppers3" src="http://www.alexisthetiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/peppers3-300x225.jpg" alt="peppers3" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>You know that nursery rhyme? Rub a dub dub, three men in a tub? Well, here are three soft toys in a tub. A ninja, a patrick and a squrtle (I have no idea how to spell its name). All gone fishing too.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2747" title="peppers2" src="http://www.alexisthetiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/peppers2-300x225.jpg" alt="peppers2" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>A shot of part of my desk. As you can see, I am QUITE at home at work. There&#8217;s my True Blood calender with my &#8216;burpday&#8217; marked out, my starbucks coffee mug, a bottle of Lolita, a couple of CDs for my clients and Seth Godin&#8217;s &#8216;Tribes&#8217; sitting by all the samples I have. And before you ask, I am not quite done with &#8216;Tribes&#8217; yet. I&#8217;ve gotten about ten pages in. Which is weird, considering that I can finish reading Thomas Hardy in a couple of days.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2748" title="peppers1" src="http://www.alexisthetiny.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/peppers1.jpg" alt="peppers1" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>And a cute post card that my inner copywriter feels irked as hell that I find it cute but it&#8217;s cute nonetheless, BAD GRAMMAR BE DAMNED!!!!! Hah. I have a little suspicion it was done on purpose to irritate people like me. But <em>is </em>cute. Better safe <em>then</em> sorry. heh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know, selling the pre-cut parts is supposed to be a premium service for people who don&#8217;t want to cut their own chickens. NOT a way for you to get rid of unwanted bits of bone and slips of meat disguised as real chicken parts. I nearly lost a finger deboning those chicken &#8216;thighs&#8217;. The thigh is the bit above the drumstick, not the bit in between drumstick and actual thigh. Go study the anatomy of a chicken carefully.</p>
<p>Anyway, work going on well so far. I love the work place and the people, the problem is, I&#8217;m so used to being the last one to leave the office that now, I feel like a slacker when 6 p.m. comes, I have nothing to do and I&#8217;ll leave while everyone&#8217;s still in the office. But its ok, that&#8217;s a minor thing compared to other potential problems.</p>
<p>I have also been very good about part of my new year&#8217;s resolutions by bringing a healthy lunch everyday, so that I don&#8217;t eat sugary, fatty, oil, far too refined nonsense sold at food courts. The best part is, I&#8217;m actually a decent enough cook now for the lunches I bring to be more appealing than food court stuff. Apart from that, nothing else much to say. I can&#8217;t tote my DSLR everywhere and my point-and-shoot is dead, dead, dead. I&#8217;d LOVE to take a photo of the Stairs O DOOOOOOM, I climb every morning to work. I swear to god, this morning, I counted and there were <em>ten</em> flights. Someone told me there are 100 or more steps in it. URGH. I&#8217;d better be really fit by the end of this. Heh.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear people who read my blog&#8230;you may start noticing a drop in posts from now on. The reason being that I have just started a real job and well, I don&#8217;t blog at work unless its my job to. Which sadly, isn&#8217;t happening yet. Also, I am terribly exhausted by the time I return home. Not so much due to my job but because Singapore&#8217;s transport system is a vampire that sucks all the energy out of you through the sheer lack of personal space and the amount of annoying people and &#8216;auntie-groping&#8217;. I hate this damned country, &#8217;nuff said. But I love the people I have here. So anyway, please put up with any brainless babbling that comes about in the next week or so until I can build up my magical Jedi shield to prevent the horrible transport system from sucking all soul and energy out of me. In the mean time, crazy cat videos to drive away the last of your Monday blues&#8230;</p>
