Hum-De Yah!

Just about 10 notes make up the Discovery Channel's ''The World Is Just Awesome'' song. If you haven't heard it, try to go find it cos its a very cheery song and you can totally add in your own lyrics to make the song yours! I've done my version of it and I love it! Hum-De Yah!

I've been quite fortunate to have a ''work-one-day'', ''off-one-day''... work wek. Last week I worked Mon - Wed, off Thurs, work Fri, off Sat, work Sun, off Mon. Hee! And things have been going just great at work. I'm learning more about my job and my colleagues and they're really starting to grow on me. I've been a bit narrow-minded about things lately and that hasn't been very good at all. From now on, gonna keep an open mind and make things better! :) I spent Sunday half by myself and half with Karm and of course, it was fun with her around! Had lotsa laughs with her and the keepers and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Hum-De Yah!

Off day today and spent it with... mum of course! Some people might find it weird that I spend so much time with my mum, but she's really fun and why not? I get sponsored for stuff too! HAHA... Also, if you're that comfortable with someone, why not spend a lot of your time with them? Hee... We went to Orchard Cine today. Watched a R21 show called Pathology which stars Milo Ventimiglia from Heroes. Its quite a lot of nudity and definitely the most blood I've seen in a single movie. And not that unnecessary blood splatter in gore movies, but since its about a bunch of pathologists (those people that perform autposies), its all about blood coming out when you cut up a body. Its hard to describe, but I like the way it was done. And how the actors can truly act so casual about it all. You certainly gotta have an open mind when you watch it, and preferably and empty stomach! But, we had lunch at Chicago Steakhouse before that and a pleasant lunch it was. Cool music and not too bad looking waiters! We even got a free coffee on-the-house because we were ''very nice and patient customers''! After the movie, went to HMV and bought Jason Mraz DVD, Queen DVD and a Prince Caspian making-the-movie book. Pleasant off day... of course! :)

HUM-DE YAH!

What Matters Most

If you're having a crap day at work, you just gotta keep in mind of what matters most to you. Family and friends and happiness are what's important to me (also I'm working on me a lil bit). And on my off days I spend time with both and they help me re-focus! :)

On Sunday, I went out with the girls that include my poly peeps: Kal, En and Shereen. The 2 small ones didn't join us, but we had a blast anyway! We met up at City Hall, walked to Marina Square, ate at Swensen's, watched a movie (Journey To The Centre of the Earth again) and walked around. I bought a pair of ked-like shoes and a book that's titled ''Don't Go To Work On Modays''. Perfect! (Well, the reason being that a lot of people get heart attacks and die on Mondays) Its this book full of fun and interesting facts... Then we just hung out a lil more, bumped into some of our GV seniors and went home. Although I did have to go to work the next day, that Sunday really helped me keep in check of what's important in life. :)

Of course, we took some goofy pics and had some laughs...


Mum struck 1st prize on Wed and when we went out on Thurs, I finally got a new phone! Finally done with the N80 that keeps hanging and giving me all sorts of problems! I got a Samsung Soul, and here it is...


Btw, I've decided to name my camera Violet... HA.

Overdue Post

Singfest
Singfest was a blast! Had fun with my sis and her friends and remember that famous person? I got to meet One Republic! My sis' friend won some Levis thing to meet them and he didn't want to go cos he wasn't a fan and my sis suggested me! So I got to the waiting point at 6.30 and only got in their tent at around 7. We went in, shook their hands, I gave one band memnber a hug cos he saw my ''hugs not drugs'' shirt, the lead singer wasn't that nice, and it was all over in 30 seconds! I'm not exaggerating! We left earlier during Alicia Keys to beat the crowd and only got home close to 1. I had to work the next day... So altogether quite fun and Jason Mraz was the best one! Hope to go to next year's one! :)

The wrist band and tag that I have to wear

During Jamie Scott. He wasn't that fantastic...

The Past Week
As I said in my previous post, there are some interesting things that happened. I was asked to do the other token trail and learn the elephant show! A show! Geez, hopefully I'll be able to learn it in time... :)
Alright, there are some nice things that happened the past week though. It was a rather good week spent largely with Karmilah. She's so relaxed and fun! Anyway, here are some work pictures...

Me trying to immitate the polar bear picture. I know, pretty similar huh? Polar bears are cute! Except when they're killing stuff...

And this is Adeline. Real fun girl to hang out with. I have lotsa fun with her and Karmilah... :)


August 9
It was one of the most fun national days I had. Woke up at around 9.30, mum and I wanted to go to breakfast at Swensen's but that would mean that we'd have to rush, so we skipped it and took our time to get ready. We took a cab to Great World City, bought tickets to The Love Guru, then went to have lunch at Kenny Rogers, walked around, bought lotsa stuff, then after the movie (which wasn't as good as I thought it'd be) we walked around some more, bought some groceries, had dinner then went home. It was a very fruitful day and we certainly splurged our paychecks! :) So here's what we bought....



All the crazy stuff we bought! I bought Queen, Beatle and Jason Mraz. Mum bought Jazz, Blues and French! Haha... We bought a mug and Nike sports bra for sis. I also bought a plate and owl, and the most interesting thing... An Olympus camera! And its purple!!! It was so unexpected and I needed a new camera anyway! My mum payed first then I'll be paying her back over the next few months... Haha... Mum rocks!

And these are the little tidbits we bought. Most of which is cos we didn't see them before and the packaging was real nice! Hahar... :)
