I cant help but feel that if it were the other way round, ie if lebanon were to be the one bombing israel with impunity, then the world (in that I mean great almighty us of a and their cronies) would retaliate without hesitation. They’ll be declaring lebanon to be yet another ‘axis of evil’, sending their troops over to help israel, imposing sanctions on lebanon, the works.

Unfortunately it’s lebanon that’s being bombed. And so the world watches..

Had my feet dreadfully blistered cos I had to wear covered shoes for a worksite visit. Somehow covered shoes and me just don’t go well together. Unless they’re track shoes. But who wears track shoes at work anyway? Ok manymany people wear track shoes to work, but that just wont do with me. I have to wear nice court shoes, no matter how painful they are. Hahha! So worksite visits = blisters. The equation works every time. And it doesn’t matter if the pair of shoes was from marie claire and looked damm comfortable, not to mention oh so sweet. Once they’re on my feet, they bite. And boy do they really bite!

I had the occasion to meet some of the people I used to work with back at my old posting. It was nice, seeing as to how they remembered me, and still valued my thoughts and opinions even though I’m no longer working with them. I miss my old posting. Work had meaning then.

And then there was the gala dinner on Friday. Networking can be a yawn, but this time round I was in a table filled with people intent on having a good time. So it was enjoyable. In fact, I don’t think I’ve had this much fun at such events before. And the food was great too – western halal food was served to all invitees, unless they specifically requested for vegetarian. That’s a welcome. I’ve always wondered why it is that most organizers still have chinese tables and muslim tables for their d&d. Aren’t you doing the segregating right there? How do you expect your staff to mix around? How do you expect to get away with this and not have enclaves based on ethnicity and religion forming at your workplace?

Less than 5 months to go to my wedding. My mum’s getting frantic cos my hair’s still short. Hahha! Told her not to worry. After all, why should brides have long flowy hair? Short hair will do just nice too.

I finally got around to doing some shopping for the wedding. Now stuffs like bunga paha and bunga rampai have all been taken care of. I’ve gotten the dulangs too, minus the goodies to be placed on them. That’s another round of shopping again. Bleah.

I thought I’ve found a photographer for the actual day, but I think that fell through. It’s my fault I know, cos I was supposed to get back to him ages ago. But with things as they were back then, photography was the last thing on my mind. Now that I’m ready to confirm, he’s gone silent on me. Ah well. I’ve not hit the panic button yet. Anyone knows of someone good who does digital journalistic wedding shots for less than 1k? :)
