Too much tea..

..is tat why i can't get to sleep?

I did have quite a cuppa(or maybe more)of green tea during dinner just now..dinner was courtesy of the marathon runners..an appreciation dinner by the runners for the runspirators..heh..thanks ah..din think i did tat much..afterall, i wasn't even in the runspirators list..mainly cos my appearance was supposed to be a 'surprise' one :Þ All i did was to hold some meaningless/annoying(& corny, so they said) monologue while running alongside some of them during the last stretch..& oh, appearing in the photos too..heh, paiseh ah..

Surely it couldn't be jetlag..it's been almost 2 weeks liao..

Hmm..it must be weather then (gotten used to blaming everything on the weather) Despite wat many of my frens have been telling me..it's the 'cooler' season in Sg now..(yes, i know tat..i haven been away for tat long lah)..i'm finding it very very hot here..almost unbearable at times..but then again, i'd always found it hot mah..

Met ys for lunch at maxwell today..my first taste of the 'shenton lunch crowd' since i came back..couldn't help but smile at the packets of tissue left on the seats to 'chope place'..how 'uniquely singapore' : Þ Again, i marvel at those who can wear their power suit while eating 'ktt' (for the benefit of my non-colleague frens, it's kway teow teng) at the aircon-less hawker centre..then there are those poor guys in their (sweat-soaked) shirt & tie..ahh, i really cannot picture myself lunching with the shenton crowd everyday..too stressful..

I suddenly recalled this conversation i had wif Wei at Bugis(another lunch hotspot)the other day..one really does dress a lot smarter in temperate countries..but i dun blame sporeans lah..not when it's 24-33/365..i'm not trying to defend myself..but i also dress smarter(ok, maybe 'less lok' is more like it) when i was in uk..afterall, how lok can u be when the minimum u have to put on when u're going out is a jacket..wif long pants..wif covered shoes(though i persisted on my 'berms + sandals' get up till the very end of autumn)

Besides the hot weather..there's also another very, if not more, important reason why i'm mostly in shorts ever since i came back..i cant fit into my pants anymore >o<

Think i'm like 120% of the zxl 6 mths ago..but tat's another topic altogether..need more blogspace for tat..a lot more..
