The launch of the adidas Me, Myself campaign couldn’t have come at a better time.
I’m at the stage of my life where a change is at hand. Life really threw a curveball at me recently, and I believe it’s just a sign that its time to move on.

Me time is not just about doing things alone, it’s about dedicating that small bracket of time in the day doing something which will enrich your life. It could be taking a 30min jog around the neighbourhood, a long hot bath, or even a movie with friends.

Lately, I’ve learnt to enjoy the solitude and margins of my emotions, and it’s amazing how much you learn about yourself when you have no one to depend or rely on. You start to think about how you are becoming the person you want to be, and the necessary adjustments you have to make for that to happen.
I read somewhere that “solitude today is less available and yet more necessary than ever” and I couldn’t agree with it more.

Me time has brought some much needed balance in my life, and has helped me to be more honest with myself. Somehow the world and everything around me seems less urgent, and more manageable.

With the launch of the adidas Me, Myself campaign, I decided to make an effort to dedicate some “Me Time” during the week. You can check out the facebook group to read what other women are writing about “Me Time”. If you’re my friend on facebook, you can check out my Me Time calendar.

There’s even an option to embed the widget on to your own blog. Saves me from doing all the coding work. So if you want to take a look, it’s on the right hand column.

The cool thing about the application is the randomized activities the application can suggest if you feel like trying something new. Would be cool to know what you constitute as “Me Time”? And do share with me some ideas on some “Me Time” activities!

It’s not that I hate the notion of Valentine’s Day, I’m just not a fan of all the commercial crap that comes along with it. As we walked down Orchard Road, I’m shocked by the number of people who bought badly packaged roses at ridiculously inflated prices for their loved ones, don’t they realise we’re in recession? Not only that, but you embarrass them further by forcing them to carry it around town with one hand, a teddy bear in the other.

Then again, I’m sure it would be a different story if a bunch of tulips were to appear in front of me.

Danli made it a point to make sure I wasn’t going to spend Valentines Day alone this year, so we headed out to White Rabbit with the other girls to what was suppose to be a quiet night. Little did I know it was a singles night! Luckily for us by the time we arrived, the party was open to all. Aside from bad pick up lines, and long toilet queues, I had a great time reconnecting with old friends.

If only all Valentines Day could be this non-Valentine-sy.

But for those who DO celebrate this day, Happy Valentines Day!

Hello world, I’m back online! And to you my friends, thanks for sticking around. I apologise for not updating this blog sooner, but I had some personal issues to deal with and leave behind in 2008.

I missed blogging, and I definitely am glad to be back on the digital front, bigger and badder than ever before. It’s not perfect, and there are small minor glitches to iron out, but I’ll handle that while we’re live.

Do you like the new layout? Take the poll below. Not that it matters now, but what the hell, let’s get all interactive on the first post.
