ok, ok, i succumbed. to pure evil consumerism.

the thought just popped into my head that morning, and the moment the intention came pouring out of my mouth, the Husband perked his ears like a cat at the sound of a sardine tin being opened, the (gadget) opportunist that he is. i think he secretly bewitched me while i was sleeping, what do you think…?

in any case, he immediately dragged us to the store, probably afraid that i’d change my mind as suddenly, as i’m sometimes wont to do when it comes to electronic goods, and promptly picked this fella out of the crowd.

and so we have now a family of three – daddy oly, mommy canny, and err, pink baby lumixette.

i swear i don’t know what’s gotten into me.

ok, ok, consider this, ie. the OCCASIONAL custody of the above, as an early anniversary gift for you, eh, Husband.

now, you KNOW what i want, right? pls refer to my email to you dated 06/08/07.

;D

and today, as much as i was tempted to deck myself in all-black and go against the grain of pure evil conformity, i succumbed to the ubiquitous red-and-white combo befitting the current celebrations.

i just tell myself it’s not out of sheer patriotism, but err, an excuse to put together a fabulous red and white outfit without being sneered at for looking like a walking national flag. (it’s not often we get to do this you know.)

well ok, ok, sneer away, but at least there are no stars on my shirt. hmph.

i wonder what the lil bub is up to at this time, he’s supposed to celebrate national day with the rest of his playgroup. i had a chuckle on my way to work as i conjured an image of him waving a flag, decked in his red tshirt.

ahh, brainwashing at such a tender age. we’ll see how that works out.

now, excuse me while i continue to hide myself at my desk while the rest of the workhorses are downstairs singing along to some cheesy nationalistic songs and kowtowing to the flagpoles or whatever it is they do to show allegiance to the country…

;p
