Weekend Comfort

My weekend outfit from Wood Wood (at Far East Plaza) and sandals at a steal from Heatwave. Love 'em!

And a lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon blog surfing and enjoying my kopi and J Co :-)

Blue

Decided I prefer my clean white template. Decided the gentle light blue will cheer and soothe anyone reading this.

The new mast head is pretty too, isn't it? Gideon took the picture! He managed to dig out these bears from somewhere - I must have gotten them at least 5 years ago from McDonald's. TGP - Terence, Gideon, Philo... awww

Now I feel nice, warm and BLUE :-)

Green, Brown & Yellow

I decided to change my blog template to colours I've been in love with of late - mud green, brown and yellow. Although the default templates couldn't quite match up to my ideal palatte, the result wasn't that bad. Maybe it's all those Earth messages that have moved me to like these colours.

As I'm recovering from the bout of spinnies, I started to think how I should (and when should I) re-decorate the house. I was flipping through the latest IKEA catalogue and found they have the most gorgeous stuff in there.

I'm totally in love with this yellow sideboard. Although the measurements don't fit the space I have in mind where I could place this :-( Isn't the colour spectacular? An instant cheer-up(er)! Anyways, they don't even carry the yellow piece in Singapore, only the black. And I have nowhere in the house I could place this =(

And check out the Billy bookcase. I have a few of the white ones. But this floral one is so retro :-) I'm tempted... maybe this weekend... although Terence isn't a fan of assembling this.

V-E-R-T-I-G-O

I think it must have been nearly 3 years ago that I came across this word. While at Swissotel The Stamford, we named this event at Equinox, Vertigo, since there was so much booze at such a high altitude that we thought those who were going to be there WILL experience Vertigo. I never got that drunk eventually, and Vertigo remained a name, not an experience!

Until yesterday...

I got up with a splitting headache and saw the ceiling going round and round. I really thought I was dying and that's a "before-you-die" scene. I forced myself up and washed my face. Then I realised I was walking sideways out of the bathroom! I thought perhaps I was hungry. So I had breakfast. Still not good. I laid down and closed my eyes. I must have dozed off. When I opened my eyes again, the same thing happened. Ceiling was dancing, everything was moving! What's more, I now feel nauseaus!

Went to the doctor, and he said I had "Benign paroxysmal positional Vertigo". WTF! Say that again!?? "Yes," he said, "it could be caused by an infection of the balance orgran." What sick virus could cause you Vertigo!? To at least help me walk straight again, he gave me a jab (a long, painful one! my arm's still numb!). "You shouldn't drive for the next week or so 'cos you may get an attack until it fully subsides, usually in a week or two." He smiled.

Argh!

Ok... and so this morning was still bad. But had to get some urgent work out of the way. Took the pills and stared at the computer for the entire morning. Took my second pill after lunch and felt better already. I'm not spinning any more, and neither is the house. Let's hope this persists.

Gosh, it's tough being perpetually GIDDY :-(
