my body is mutating to adjust, i just know it! how is it possible that s'pore doesn't feel so hot and miserable anymore? walking back home tonight, i actually felt the cool air. was i merely imagining or was there really a cool, evening breeze? i just hope that my brain didn't melt in the heat and humidity to where it now finds solace in hallucination.
i stop by my oh so convenient 7-eleven, just below my condo where i now find myself doing most of my grocery shopping. forget ralphs, vons, trader joe's for that matter, i find virtually everything i need at my trusty 7-eleven. altho now adays, i only buy water, milk, juice and occasional beer. when i get desperate, i even buy eggs and bread there. yes, there is a legit market near by, but that requires carrying heavy bags across and down the street. perhaps that's why i remain cool, avoid heavy lifting and my usual fast walking pace.
after eating my overcooked rice, i relax to "the lake house," a pathetic attempt at a remake of "il mare," a FANTASTIC korean movie. i normally don't say that about korean productions but this was creative and artistic, but hollywoodtized, it becomes flat and loses all of its magic, its originality. i must admit, keanu reeves looked perty hot, but even he could not redeem the movie for me. by the way, what's up with men and their turtle neck sweaters? they look great!!! i don't know what it is, but men look FABULOUS in turtle necks. yes, keanu wore them well. but in general, i find this to be true. to this day, i remember the "turtle neck scene" in the first batman movie with michael keaton. of course, this doesn't help me in s'pore where the temperature never sets below 100 degrees. i exaggerate, it doesn't dip below 90. oh, and add 100% humidity and you will affectively wear a very wet turtle neck. so much for climatizing...
i just realized that my fridge is full of beverages and dietary supplements only. yes, dietary supplements that i brot back from LA, and lots of it. mainly protein shake type of powder. why?... no good answer that will truly satisfy except to say, it's quick and convenient. also ensure that i get enuf... protein? but don't worry, weekend is coming up and i get to make my favorite weekend breakfasts, french toast and scrambled eggs. but it doesn't stop there, i get to use maple syrup and salsa cuz let's face it, sometime you eat the food for the sauce. yes, i'm a sauce girl. for example, filet mignon is completely worthless without the bernaise sauce, like lucy without ricardo. but let's not take this too far...
i am clearly just rambling at this point so i will return to my exciting telecommunications book and desperately try to stay awake for my late night conference call.

you dishonor il mare by watching the lake house.
i did, however, find myself enjoying Shall We Dance with Gere and Lopez, despite not liking either of them. Doesn't live up to the original at all, but still very watchable.
FYI, Spears got back rights for overnight stays with the kids. In case you were wondering.
