Josie is the Opposite of Hallelujah


Thank you stranger for your therapeutic smile

These days are passing too quickly, I turn 21 in 13 days.

Relived a little childhood nostalgia watching Monsters Vs Aliens in 3D -  anachrome glasses resting on the tips of our noses. It wasn’t as thrilling, I guess everything seems a little more exciting as a kid. Another weekend without make up, having breakfast in his bed. We grocery shopped for meats and cheese, I scrambled eggs and we feasted like epicurean kings and queens.

Paul’s party at Home in the evening, I miss my jet-setting posse.

Sunday in bed alone, just self-sympathy to keep me company, the familiar scent of tobacco wafting in the air, drifting through my lonely sheets.

I’m still not sure want I want from this, no one wants to have their heart left empty.

I guess people always leave.
Just breathe, Josie.

Your Own Disaster

So maybe, maybe I’m not okay with this, but what’s a girl to do.

Adam Lazarra never said it better:

Forget me, it’s that simple.



Dear Mother, thank you for marrying a rich guy.

This will be another entry written notoriously vague.

Recently I’ve been so happy I’ve been annoying the shit out of everyone with it – one last hit because I couldn’t resist it. I haven’t updated much because these bursts of fleeting euphoria doesn’t make for very inspirational writing. Unless you’d much rather read my tales of gag-inducing pet-name calling, cute-is-what-we-aim-for cuddling and saucy bedroom secrets. Yes, fleeting – always a pessimist. I’m afraid Melancholy and infinite sadness are pretty much the only things that drive me.

Yesterday, spent a crazy amount of time lazing around in bed, not that it was any different from every other weekend. A lunch picnic bed spread on curried-sheets with pate and parma ham and salami while I indulged in his awful movie tastes, curled against him cringing at Reese Witherspoon’s awkward faux Victorian accent. Hit up Butter Factory because it was finally time to party after living like 60 year old people waking up too early in the morning only to take naps in the late afternoon because our frail bodies are unable to keep up with our fading lucidity. I rolled in style, naturally – leopard prints because I am me-ow!

Bertha Mason and Mr Rochester had an unfortunate run-in, I’m anticipating the moment she decides to set the manor on fire. Hell hath no fury like a jilted lover’s wrath – if you’re going to fuck up your life you might as well do it properly amirite? I’d say Bring It Bitch but it seems my weapons of choice are limited to a laptop, a working internet connection and a blog. Such a pity, I’ve been saving my razor sharp wit – like a knife in a gun fight.  People who say the pen is mightier than the sword have obviously not had acid thrown in their faces or been strangled between the sheets. The lesson learnt here my precious, is to lock your doors before you sleep.

We’re both getting a day off tomorrow so it seems like the itinerary will be set for pillow-shopping. Domestic bliss although I’m probably the only loser in the world (with the exception of desperate housewives who hang out at the linen department at Tangs) excited about this shit. Curry in the evening – lately it seems like I’ve have had disgustingly uncontrollable urges to indulge myself with frivolity. I think it’s mostly because work has been making me want to bust my head open with a blunt object…what’s a little pampering. Just, someone shoot me before I turn into a Stepford wife – beep beep ribby ribby.

Probably finally going to break out Withnail & I. The good doctor says it’s sad. Which will probably make me cry – sappy movies are just about the only other time you’d see me weep (onions are the other) kryptonite. Not sure how I feel about bawling like a baby in front of someone else – sure we’re close enough for period sex to be put on the table but tears are a whole different ball park. You think I’m kidding about the last comment but I’m not.

Alright past my bed time, note to self: spend some quality time with Dr Dan, Fifi and the boys. Good-byte!



And so we wonder in secret if our love bites match

crapart2_2This drawing is pretty much how I spent my Sunday morning – that’s right there was a smile on my face and everyone was white. Watching an episode of 90210 while I’m typing this so forgive me if I start babbling incoherently.

I had a great day today – thanks for asking! Woke up at 7am, and fiddled around in bed waking up the unmentionable repeatedly with a combination of: Parkinson-styled tossing and turning, walking into and out of the room to smoke, watching snippets of E! Entertainment in the living room on loud, and constant time-reminders of how lovely the day was and that the five minutes you requested for was up. Also made a very obvious mistake by not offering sexual favors as an incentive in exchange for getting up to have a nice morning meal – how amateur I know. Five times the efficiency of dumping iced water on you and minus 10 on the annoyance scale. But hey, breakfast first, blow jobs after.

Headed to Dempsey for brunch with the intention of hitting up the expatriate hell hole that is Jones the Grocer – but the waiters looked ridiculously busy and disorganized so we skipped out and went to House instead. The Eggs Benedict was average and I’ve had better hollandaise sauce but the service was impeccable. Also, where else in Singapore would you find Churros on the menu at 11 in the morning. I forgot how lovely House is – definitely two asian primate thumbs of approval.

Took a bus to Tanglin after because it was just too hot to keep walking; forgive us for being so pedestrian. Walked around looking for expresso machines – Martha Stewart would have approved of this, and had the worst raspberry sorbet in the entire world. The radioactive maroon color should have tipped me off but I’m stupid as shit like that sometimes. It tasted as if 20 pounds of sugar and cheap fruit concentrate took a dump in my mouth. Häagen-Dazs should think about including a ‘might cause diabetes’ surgeon’s warning with every scoop of that crap they sell.

Also tried looking for the lambskin S/S’09 wallet Fi was mentioning at the Dior store but couldn’t find it. Anyway, after several unsuccessful attempts at locating the mythical coffee maker, we left and I went back home for a 4 hour long siesta. It was delicious – so was the gazpacho I had after I woke up. Thanks D, Olé!

So that was my Sunday. I’m starting to really enjoy this relaxed weekend lifestyle change of shopping for groceries, soft furnishings and dining at cute delis, even if it puts me on the fast track to 40. Next week, watch as we hit the golf course with our matching Ralph Lauren polos & cashmere sweaters drapped loosely over our shoulders. Hope you kiddies had a good one!



Isn’t everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more?

00b3h994Apologies for neglecting you dear readers, Klaus has pretty much ruined blogging for me. Especially now that I know he’s  got my Twitter and WordPress bookmarked into his Safari Browser.

But Twitter is down for an hour so I figured I’d show some blog-loving this time around. Not like I have much to say in 140 characters or less all the time but it’s comforting to know it’s there when I do.

Time for an update:

1. Things have pretty much returned to normal – whatever normalcy means. I won’t delve into details because that would entail pouring my tortured heart out while Big Brother watches and there has been enough cardio-vascular action going on here already. This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue, and my eye through a scope down the barrel of a gun.

2. My weekend basically consisted of lazing around the house, smoking, writing, drinking whisky and listening to jazz – I’m starting to think I should kick it up Jack Kerouac style. No human contact whatsoever, save for a cold cut lunch with D. Dr Dan reckons it’s a little pathetic that my social life has completely fallen apart when one German decides to leave the city for a while – in my defense, this solitude was a little self-imposed. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

3. The past week, I also dug out heaps of my old records and while listening to Adam Lazzara emo-scream about how he’s a wishful thinker with the worst intentions is a tad embarrassing at my age, it mostly reminded me of why I fell in love with so many of these bands in the first place. If I had to live sixteen all over again, I wouldn’t have made it out alive, especially not without some of these guys. Ian mentioned that DCFC would be touring with Andrew Bird this summer and making a pit stop in Berkley – fuck me, how exciting!

Goodnight. I’m really looking forward to Monday.
