Ertrocities of Extravagant Youth
Traveling is one of my greatest loves, and I'm lucky enough to be good friends with someone who so willingly brings me along wherever she goes. I've had the privilege of touring quaint Japanese towns, exploring Europe, experiencing both winter and summer in the land Down Under, had an authentic Thai massage in Bangkok, and traveled to many other places. It just so happens that traveling means incurring significant costs and the risk of overspending while in full holiday mode.
And then theres photography. I would love to sign up for proper photography classes with the Lomographic Society but the rates of the courses are pretty steep for a jobless panther and I can't even begin to imagine how I can raise that kinda money with the minimal skills that I have. Perhaps I could steal some of Mo's over-priced and under-utilised tops and sell them for half their original prices? I don't know man. Ever since Mo bought her Holga and abandoned it temporarily, I've been lugging it around and capturing priceless scenes and moments. It was only after that experience did I realize just how expensive the film I used was, and developing the pictures didn't cost any less! That's what you get for being trigger-happy.
Anyway, since we're on the topic of photography, I've just been invited to join Mo and her koolkat pals while they check out the Singapore Biennale (shout out to Vic: Marry me!). They're planning to cover all the various venues this Thursday, and since my schedule's wide open on Thurs, I suppose I'll tag along and take in the sheer beauty of photo exhibitions. For more info, paw this link: http://www.singaporebiennale.org/ . I've decided to include the venue map below so you cyberstalkers know where to find my furry tush come Thursday!
I'm so eggcited. Lerve is in the air and I'm psyched about all the plans I have lined up for the week. Included a pic of myself in the loving arms of Mo because it so accurately depicts the mood I'm in right now - lerved and totally chilled out.
In other news, I'm in need of a bath - V suggests that I be sent to the drycleaners since Mo is too much of a scaredy cat to put me in her washing machine and do the deed herself. C'mon guys, I can swim okay? No biggie. Gimme an oxygen tank and I guarantee you won't be fishing my dead body out of the washing machine. And I've been working out, can't you tell? Its not like I'm gonna disintegrate or anything ... Bish, plz.
Ok, this little pinky is going to bed because tomorrow brings macaroon mania and a trip to the gym. And you wonder why I'm in the pink of health!
Pinkerton OUT!
I Hate You ErLot
It's OK, we're getting there a day at a time. Makes it all that much easier. Having said all that, I now feel so much more at peace with everything, and everyone.

Ermazing
Ok, so nothing much's been happening. I've been waiting patiently in anticipation of the Oompa Loompazaar - some bazaar at Smoo that's gonna be taking place this week. Kinda fuzzy on the details like the actual duration of the bazaar and the kind of events that're gonna be taking place but I've received some recommendations on which stalls to pop by. Buzz me if you want in on the good digs - gotta be discreet with these things because only the selfish stay stylish! Hahahaha OK I know being pink in colour does not award me entitlement to random bimbotic behaviour and lingo. But I can't help it!
Tonight I'm paying another visit (one of many this week) to my good friend living far far away because he needs moral support. It appears his life is one giant regurgitated spitball because his all-time closest companions (thought I was one of them, guess not) have depleted miserably since the recent departure of his good friend who's left for Sydney for further studies. It just seems like whenever people feel lonely and desolate, they turn to me for help. The stench rising from my 15 years of unwashed fur seems to give off some kind of unexplainable comforting aura.
Its ermazing how I find time for these pointless visits when I'm busy as a bee. But like I always say, a friend in need, is a friend indeed (a friend with weed is better).
Alright, time to satisfy my munchies.
Later 'gators.

E-mergencies 'R' Us
The 'E' in Crises
So while you plebeians are out there lamenting the dire states of your bank accounts, I can sit here and plot how to take over the world. First and foremost, I need to help Mo find a job. The sub-prime crisis has certainly fucked things up for those looking to secure themselves a cushy bank job what with all the big banks crumbling and little banks suffering the magnitude of the repercussions. Perhaps now would be an opportune moment to pursue her dream of starting a magazine (she was devastated when JANE mag ceased publications), open a pet shop with her mom or the myriad of other biz ideas she toyed with over the holidays when I was too busy to entertain her.
With the markets biting the dust and hordes of people getting retrenched, its the perfect moment for one to stray from the conventional route of diving head first into one of those jobs that promise you a puny cubicle and mediocre pay. For those who only ever pretended to be in pursuit of a job like that, now's your chance to tell your folks you can't get a job! You're being forced into entrepreneurship just to stay afloat! I personally feel that as long as you've got a brain and the willingness/discipline to work hard regardless of what you're doing, you'll never go hungry. And feeding yourself is all that matters, right? (To some people at least)
In times like these, only the weak-minded succumb to depression because it's all so easy to put your hands up in surrender.
I say we should all stay positive ... Exchange rates plunging? Time to go on a holiday! I'm targeting Sydney in December.
Think Pink!

Everlasting Ernonymity No More
I bought a couple good books today at Borders - 'Crowdsourcing' by Jeff Howe and 'The Age of Turbulence' by Alan Greenspan. I know right ... you must be thinking to yourself 'wow, that's one intelligent panther'. Ok not that I've gained any knowledge from either of those books yet, but hey, I read fast. By the end of the week, I'm gonna be pro as shit at Crowdsourcing (whatever the hell that is anyway) and I'll know all about life as the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Sounds all too promising right! Shite ... I'm excited just thinking about it.
All that time spent in the closet has got me thinking. What if there's more to life than folding clothes, memorizing fashion labels, perfecting my skills at color coordination and being a personal stylist? I think if I were put to the test, I'd be quite an E-nnovative person and I could start my own business doing something totally rad and inspiring. Only time will tell. In the meantime, my priority is to be the best at what I do (organize messy people's closets) and continue reading as much as I can to learn more about the world and such.
I never thought I would have so much fun blogging. Look at how long this post has gotten ... My 6 fingers have been over-worked for sure. Time for bed! My eye bag (I only have one eye) is getting more unsightly with each passing day.
Pinkerton out!
