It has been very hot and humid for the past few days.
So, I had some trouble falling asleep.
When the AC didn’t help, I decided to play some music from The Smiths and Bright Eyes.
And, oh boy! What a hypnotic! I passed out right after listening first 2 songs.
The smooth acoustic background works better than a mom’s lullaby.
“Strangeways, Here We Come” by The Smiths
“Digital Ash in a Digital Urn” by Bright Eyes
Perhaps, in light of the incessant snack eating and number of Izzes that have inundated our office, the Twinkle team may have put on a little extra weight. We would like to attribute the tightness of our clothes to laundry shrinkage and the fact that factories may be grading the garments a tad bit smaller during production nowadays– But, sadly, we can no longer live that lie.
Faced with this harsh reality, we approached the terribly dreaded mailroom scale. Indeed, we all put on extra “office†weight. So, the Twinkle team decided to start the BIGGEST LOSER challenge. With Wenlan fronting the prize of a brand new designer handbag for the “BIGGEST LOSER,†we were all motivated… well, at least for the first couple days. Staff members took different routes from a 30-day Bikram Yoga challenge, to skipping meals, enlisting the help of Billy Blanks Tae-Bo, to eating only healthy food. Sadly, majority of us have no will power and have utterly failed, but some of us like to believe that the challenge is still on. So, we will have to see who wins this challenge at the end of the month!
(The winner of the “BIGGEST LOSER†challenge will be posted in next month’s update)
