Any takers?

ByVanessa Tan 24 January, 2003

I have a spare ticket (or two) for the Caltex Masters this Saturday. My dad and I are setting aside our Sunday afternoon and evening for it, but he’s busy tomorrow. I have a few things on as well, so I’m not sure if I can make it on Saturday.
So I called up the best possible person for the ticket: Karen Seow, Laguna club member with a decent handicap – only to find that she is already slated to help out this weekend, and has a good chance being Ernie Els’s scoretaker! Gaaah. *jealous*
She’ll let me know if I can help out on Sunday, and follow Els around. Me, a lowly PC holder and a non-member of the club. We’ll see 🙂

I’m back to just 512 MB RAM, which is apparently the maximum amount Win 98 can take without going bonkers and starting in Safe mode. Strange, isn’t it? You’d think that the more RAM you add, the…

ByVanessa Tan 31 August, 2002

I only popped by this evening for a short while, but this was my first time at WOMAD and I didn’t even have to sit on the grass, thanks to the hospitality of the Singapore Tourism Board which supplied us with food, drinks, cushions and mats. The African music was pleasant. The Indian dance workshop…

The young ones, and the young once
ByVanessa Tan 1 August, 2006

This evening, I attended a big dinner party for an old family friend and was ushered to a table of young, beautiful people. Yes, younger than I, and more beautiful – including the men, and they were straight, too! Mmm. Everyone lived or studied overseas – and in exotic locations, not just the usual *yawn*…

The Devil Wears Prada
ByVanessa Tan 3 September, 2006

We watched The Devil Wears Prada last night. It was as good as I had heard it would be. Anyone who’s ever had a demanding, political job can empathise with Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), the new assistant to fashion editor Miranda Priestly (well-casted as Meryl Streep), the eponymous anti-heroine of the movie. While generally entertaining,…

To-do list
ByVanessa Tan 3 November, 2003

After two straight years of work, it is ironic that I have no idea what to do with a week of freedom. I’ve made a sort of list, seeing how reality will soon set in again. Important stuff: Sort out wardrobe into formal, smart and casual wear (done) Run through suggestions from fashion-savvy friends and…
