When I told TB that we were invited to a Pao wedding, he asked if I was going to wear slutty. Of course! Not only slutty, inexpensive slutty, with red lips.
1. We let Boo go on the 27th of June. He went as he lived — fussed over by his family, chewing greens, oblivious to needles.
2. I went to Singapore for work and trespassed for leisure.
3. I won the highest praise at work. It’s the first time I have won anything. When I was 14 and weighed 43 kilos at 5 feet 6 inches, I was pulled on stage during the Christmas ball for a competition on the narrowest waist. I didn’t even win that. So I want ‘Displays Excellence’ inscribed on a watch, but a typo so I stay humble.
4. For the first time in 19 years, I am devoid of animal companionship. It feels like living without electricity.
5. My hair is getting curlier.
