I woke up this morning with a terrible sniffle and just like that, I’m down with a bit of a cold. I’m blaming it on the absolutely horrendous weather. I distinctly remember putting away several topics for blogging in the recesses of my mind, but because my brain is somewhat of a foggy blur right now thanks to the sniffles (or just because I am forgetful), all I keep thinking about is the phrase ‘cotton wool’. Which is downright absurd.

I was thinking over the weekend how colourful and varied Brit vocabulary is. The Americans pick all of two words and use it over and over - ‘cool’ and ’sucks’. But the Brits use the loveliest adjectives that we know but just don’t incorporate into our everyday lingo. I’ve been reading Simon Cowell’s book, I Don’t Mean To Be Rude But…, and it’s just the funniest thing. So I’ve decided I shall try to use more colourful words in my everyday speech. Our freelancer commented that our humour in hot is very Brit. I’m not entirely sure I want to be known as Brit just yet, but I suppose it is a good start. I shall give it more thought when I shall. I think Hollywood is ruining my vocabulary.

My weekend has been completely packed. I had a lunch appointment on Saturday, coffee after that with Tze San whom I haven’t seen in ages which was a treat (as was lunch), and a wedding dinner after that, which by the way goes on record as the first ever vegetarian wedding dinner I’ve ever had the opportunity to consume.

Sunday was church, lunch, and almost immediately after that, getting ready for a wedding at 5pm. The wedding was lovely (I suspect I’m becoming a real sucker for seeing brides walk in with daddy and out with hubby) and very entertaining. One of the best I’ve been to in fact.

And just like that, it’s now Monday and I have a full week ahead. Oh and I forgot to say, there is the cutest shoe shop in Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas, called Rockin’ Reptile. I’m giving it free advertising because I love it. My mother and sisters went in once and helped themselves liberally, and I am pleased to say my turn came last Friday. Well I won’t say I ‘helped myself liberally’, but let’s just say I’ve treated myself well for doing that Citibank ad last week. It’s got really funky and unique stuff.

Okay, time to stop. Feeling very thick in the head right now. Literally. It’s going to be all I can do just to think what to order for dinner later.
