A Quiet Weekend In Anticipation
This has been a quiet weekend, especially since The Boy is away in Dusseldorf, Germany, for a trade show. I spent all of Saturday recuperating from the bad cough and flu.
Spent the day watching some Taiwanese drama on Channel 55. Quite drawn by Alex Fong in the show, "ho man ah"! Just like the other more matured TVB drama actors such as Michael Miu and Bowie Lam. Swoons.
Ok, I've not forgotten about my boyish Raymond Lam, in case the BBs say how come I've got a change of heart.
Realised that this Taiwanese drama is adapted from Qiong Yao's novels. No wonder I was quite drawn to it, I watched so many of those Qiong Yao shows since young. They can be really drama-mama, but quite addictive leh. Especially when we were young and impressionable, always dreaming of that perfect romance that would be dazzling with fireworks.
Ok back to reality.
Tomorrow will be my first day of work at Orchard. Had my manicure and pedicure done today, for that extra confidence booster. Haha, do I sound lame and Becky Bloomwood-ish?
Yup, finished up the book, Shopaholic & Baby over this weekend as well. Love all of Sophie Kinsella's books, looking forward to the release of her new book next.
Now, am going through the media planning that has been handed over to me for review. Hmmmmm..... looks like there's lots to be done.

Sophie Kinsella's REMEMBER ME is available at Kinokuniya!! saw it on the shelf Sunday :)))
That's fast! Thanks for the heads up! But I'll wait for the paperpack. I have a thing for uniformity - all the rest are in paperpack, so must be consistent. haha
