Just played 3 hrs of tennis with my colleagues... my tennis partner, one of our interns, was good enough to play for her school -- she has nice ground strokes, and everyone stepped up their game too so there was some heavy hitting. My arm needs a rest..
This vid is sick. Love the soundtrack too - nosebleed section by Hilltop Hoods.
Scrabble Haven't been sleeping much, thanks to wimbledon and scrabble.. mostly scrabble.. facebook scrabble is addictive, and is pretty much ruining my life. Val shd get together with geoff's (my new scrabble buddy) gf and commisserate with each other on being scrabble widows. It's not even something cool like golf or poker! Word nerds we all are.. i think i will revive my once-budding scrabble career, hit the circuit, let them know the comeback kid's back in town and he's pissed OFF, determined to kick some scrabble ass.
Wedding plans Have checked out just about every worthy gown designer in town.. last friday met a certain self-professed 'legendary' veteran gown designer.. i rather enjoyed our snippets of conversation in between val's emergence from the changing room -- his eccentricity may have once upon a time been affected, but is now very much a part of who he is. His pricing was quite arbitrary and i suspect he quoted us a rip-off price that was quite far from the listed 'minimum' price.
Besides the 'legend', we've seen about 6 other local designers, all extremely talented, so it's gonna be a tough decision indeed for val.
Holiday On saturday we met EK and linda for bruch at House to whack out ski plans --> yes in August we're going to NZ to ski! Very exciting, just thinking about our tour of the mountains from the peaks around queenstown like coronet peak and the remarkables, up to treble cone and methvan. Set to be a cracking ski season this year too.. so much for saving up for the wedding... the ski passes alone would cost about $1.5k!! :P i'm gonna ski till my knees pop to make it worth the money.

Future home Also went furniture shopping in the weekend; i'm designing our apartment interior around the furniture, rather than the other way around, hahah. Some absolute classic pieces to be scattered around the house would definitely include the wassily chair and also the wood chair by marc newson.
Michael Jackson Sad that michael jackson died, but he's the true legend and legends only become more legendary after death. I once took part (when i was 15) in an MJ impersonation contest in front of a whole crowd of people at Lido, so you know i'm a fan of his. Remember fondly practicing all my moves from his Smooth Criminal video and i'll never forget the thrill of watching on TV his live performance of Dangerous at the MTV music awards.
Ok that's all for now, got to get back to my scrabble game now!
