The seventh moon
The Hungry Ghost Festival is in full swing. To entertain the restless spirits, a stage has been set up for the Chinese opera. If my eyes did not deceive me, there was stage smoke and... disco lights! The old timers have been on a karaoke roll since 10 pm. I wonder when are they planning to dismantle the stage? I need my ME time in the evenings.

Post-independence
Aside from having long decadent lunches with the first wives club and friends over the past few weeks, I have been preoccupied with errands of all sorts.
Today, the consultant and I were in the Pudu area to check on our invitation cards. Pudu Plaza was a few minutes by foot from the printer so we decided to pop in to take a look at DSLR cameras.
Now, if you've never heard of or been to Plaza Pudu, in America, it would be known as the mall where the white people used to shop. If you've never been there, you're not missing much in the retail scene. The anchor tenant there is The Store. You get the picture. The directory in the mall was not much of help so we approached a security guard (who looked like he was short of half a chromosome) for directions. He mumbled something inaudible and pointed out directions.
Not convinced with his directions, we walked around a while more and came to a "hair and beauty equipment center" (quoting from the name card). I stepped into the shop with the intention of enquiring about directions. Not only did I get directions to the camera shop, I ended up with a hair styling product (hey, my hair really needs help with volume!) and audio literature on Liao-Fan's four lessons. Ok, so the security guard's directions were quite accurate.
The visit to the camera shop did not help much in convincing us which camera to buy. It's still a toss between the Nikon and the Canon. I think it's coming close to personal preference. Ultimately, it's not about the bike.

Fortune prophesied
It is worrying. I have been spending too much time on Facebook. It is another one of my favourite time wasters, after Bejeweled.
Here's my horoscope from Facebook:
You've been a bit overwhelmed lately with everything you've had to get done, but an exciting adventure will soon help you leave the stress behind.
Argh. How. Scarily. True.

Post-independence day
I've always envied the people who had all the time in the world to hang out at the mall during work hours. Today, I have become a statistic. No fricking 30 minute queues at the cinema. Lovely.
I also made some purchases. The consultant does not know about this yet; he will be receiving the bill very soon. When he got home from work, I paraded around in my new dresses.
The consultant : Don't you already have a white dress?
Clara : But this one's a flirty white dress!
Men. They will never be able to understand.
Sightings : 1

The emancipation of Clara
1 August 2007 - I am officially unemployed. It's wonderful having the luxury to wake up naturally and not rushing out to work like a mad woman.
Besides running some errands, I decided to try my hand at preparing dinner.
Clara : So, how is it?
The consultant : Good.
Brother : Your prawns are overcooked.
I'm glad I don't have to satisfy my brother's tastebuds in the future.
