hi my name is so-and-so

Friday was low key. I don't know why I was so tired after work (especially from sleeping so well on Thursday) but I just went home and slept early.

Saturday was a nice and cloudy day (but with a few breezes which were appreciated). I went on the MRT to City Hall, which is right next to a mall (and bought some Aldo shoes to match the black/blue dress that I bought).

By the way, Baby, you called me today! I was a happy goon but I was, as you know, headed towards a meeting, so I couldn't talk to you. Sorries baby. You better call me later!

So then I went to the Art Museum. I uploaded all the pictures onto the facebook/picasa (including a pictures of some friends haha) that I managed to take before being told that photography was prohibited. I did write down a few names of some of the artists that I really liked from the "Post Doi Moi" (Doi Moi I'm pretty sure is for "change" "new") where various Vietnamese artists painted - some had political themes, other had historical/family themes. One that I thought was interesting was four vietnamese women in their own respective panels representing hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil - and a fourth - think no evil. But the artist said something along the lines of: to be happy, don't look too much, don't talk too much, don't
listen too much and don't think too much. I will put up some of the pictures later.

Then Saturday night I went to a friend's place (who is from Brooklyn) to eat some dinner and watch some movies. I bought some Mrs. Field's mini cookies (in the shape of reese's cups) along. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs as well as chips. I love seaweed crackers. LOVE. I think I love them more than sesame breadsticks (gasP!). And there are these 'veggie sticks' that are bbq flavored - SO DELICIOUS. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!

Sunday's plan was to go wakeboarding, but everyone was too tired from Saturday night, so I ended up meeting a friend to play some pool. After looking around Boat Quay for a place to play, we ended up walking around Dhoby Ghaut for some Chicken Briyani (which was nice) and somehow saw a sign for the toy museum. One of my friends told me that he went to a toy museum, so I decided to go and check it out. Yeah...lots of pictures on Facebook/Picasa.

After the toy museum, we actually went to meet up another friend play pool on Orchard Rd. I was pooped though!! Then we went to this guy's condo to swim for a bit and eat homemade spaghetti. I miss fettucine alfredo a lot :(. We just had a show and tell session of youtube. I showed some of my friends America's Best Dance Crew (2) and Muto. You have to check out Muto. It's a little disturbing, but the amount of time, effort, and art that went into it makes it amazing.

I did a back tuck into the pool and two aerials. My first aerial wasn't so great (ouch) but the second one I did much better. The tuck was fine, but let's see if I end up going to Dubai anytime soon. If I won't, then I won't go sign up for a gymnastics open gymmy thing on Thursday nights. The first one was for stretching anyways). I did some jumps, but I'm starting to do some yoga stretches (from youtube), so hopefully by the end of august I will be back in a flexible condition then. Toe touch was all right and r herkie were ok, but the pike was awesome. I was really happy with my pike for some reason - maybe because you feel more secure doing it into a pool. I didn't try an around the world just because I probably would have severely injured myself. I still hate the double nine. STUPID DOUBLE NINE!

I was exhausted when I came home, and after a long meeting today, I am at home and about to nap after uploading the pics on FB.

Love, sansies
