![]() Mr. Ham: "Hmph. You are forgiven." More or less wasted a week, which can't go on much longer. Got acquainted with Civ 4 again, this time with slightly more appreciation for the World Wonders. Slacked about, then collected my graduation dress ASAP on Monday morning. Met a couple of old acquaintances, introduced kkok to Minimizer: Dang Dang Dang! after that. Came to appreciate the relative lack of pickpockets, and lack of cars coming at you on the pavement, in Singapore. Tuesday: Borrowed a couple of books from the library, then got down to Anchorpoint for leather shoes after the usual web research. The requisite parameters: Decently cheap, decently good - pointed to that or Far East Plaza, and given that Anchorpoint is right by Queensway, my (not-so) usual shoe haunt, I decided to give it a go. Picked up a pair of black Oxfords (a little too pointy actually, but with great NS-style polish potential) on discount from the Pedro factory outlet store there, and since it was much less than I budgeted for, I added a couple of neckties in the colours of my graduation hoods. G2000 originally had them at S$49 individually (now slashed to two for S$19), which only goes to show that it isn't what a good is worth, it's what the consumer can be persuaded to part with. Reading up on formal wear made me shudder a bit, though - Oxfords? Balmorals? Derbies/Blüchers? Brogues? Wingtips? Pointed or blunt? Heeled or flat? Toecapped? The same went for ties - Material? Colour? Patterns? Width? Matching shirt? I admit to never having much interest in necktie knots, mostly because I didn't even like neckties, but it was fascinating to discover that there are only 85 possible knots. The knot that my grandma teaches is the multipurpose half-Windsor (non self-releasing version), by the way; I feel it does look better than the simple (and asymmetric) four-in-hand, but in the end I would rather have the sort of unbounded self-confidence such that clothes don't even matter (though if it goes to that level, it's probably misplaced). Exchanged photos with the rest at Suntec on Thursday, where I rather wasted the buffet treat by csq. On the subject of food, I finally kept my promise to Mr. Ham by burying him in it (see top photo for proof). Mr. Ham showed no special urgency in emerging, and resisted being ejected since his cheeks hadn't yet exploded. He must have felt like Scrooge McDuck swimming in money... Otherwise, the week has been marked by a tale of two Michaels (other than Real Madrid's outlandish spending on Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema - where do they get all that cash?). Firstly, Jackson, a black boy grown into a white woman, passed on. This is actually a compliment - few artistes have even been able to transcend boundaries as thoroughly as MJ, who despite his eccentricity (and derisive nicknames stemming from such) must be one of the premier entertainers of our time. And how does he do a moonwalk like that? RIP. The second Michael is Owen, yes, the ex-Liverpool, Real Madrid and Newcastle striker. Signed for United. Stranger things have come to pass, but being a free transfer, I feel it's a good punt. For the price of his wages, United get a willing third striker who won't throw too many fits at warming the bench, and still has the wherewithal to impact a game with goals. At least, that's what his marketing brochure says, but don't knock it - it worked on Sir Alex Ferguson. Next: Zero Point Zero Three Five Radians
