Blurr...

Phew! What an interesting couple of days! On Friday, Jess called us up and came over to hang out at my house. We then decided to go Kbox and got into Ruyi's dad's car and drove down to Clementi. So nostalgic... We used to pretend that we were on Jac's bed driving around and now we're finally doing it! Haha... So we drove down there and had quite a lot of fun! They had a lot of new songs and we sang until 3. So we were quite hungry and decided to drive to West Coast Mac, even though they had one at Clementi. Sat there and chatted before we finally got our butts off the seat long enough to get home. I reached home at 5.30 feeling thoroughly... occupied!

A couple hours later, woke up, took a shower then went to meet Kal. She wanted to go to the This Fashion near PS, even though there are plenty of outlets elsewhere! Anyway, we walked around a lot and had a real pleasant Saturday afternoon.

Sunday. Gotta work but got ''half day'' which is more like 3/4 day cos we only can leave after 2.30! Something kinda funny happened. I was in a rush to get home and I didn't look where I was going. It was at the Baboons place which has a lot of uneven places and I've seen people trip a couple of times... I sprained my ankle!!! It hurt A LOT and I limped back to the locker room with the help of my colleague. Suay man... It was hardly and hour before my foot started to swell and now it still hurts! Here's a pic after the swelling subsided a little...

Yes, that's my very purple bedsheet...

Anyway... Went home immediately and took a shower and got ready to go see the taping for my cousin's Don't Forget The Lyrics. It was damn fun, albeit there was a lot of waiting around. I definitely appreciate media productions more now! We went through 2 contestants and didn't even get to my cousin's turn. So I think we have to go back tonight and hopefully he'll actually get to play the game! I don't wanna get in trouble so I won't say anymore details... :)

I watched High School Musical on Friday and it was quite nice! Still don't really like Vanessa Hudgens though, and I got a feeling that the audience (a good mix of pubescent boys and girls) didn't like her that much too. When Ashley Tisdale did her thing, they laughed at her in a good way. But when Vanessa did it, they kinda sniggered at her in a bad way! The movie is totally Disney, but if you don't mind a little ''roll-your-eyes-cos-its-so-sweet'' kinda thing then go to the theatre and have some fun! Go toilet first though, cos its about 2 hours long. I wanted to write a little something about my last year of ''high school'' but this post is running a little long. Save that for another time!

Live from my room!

Yay! Internet is up and running in my room, and all around the house! And the really awesome computer technician fixed my sound on my PC too (which something happened to it and I didn't have sound for a long time), so I've been on a ''watching TV shows'' phase.

Ya know, I generally don't like to download stuff, and I really try to buy the original as often as I can, but the programmes that are shown here from the U.S. take so long to reach us! For example, a certain dance show on TV was shown in the U.S. over a year ago and it is only shown now in Singapore! And they keep doing things like ''it will be shown 2 weeks later''. They don't seem very bothered that they're broadcasting it... Anyway...

I watched that dance show with my mum. We were already halfway through the season so we just continued until the end. We watched it on my computer from about 5pm to 12am! Haha... We ate our dinner and more in my room that day. Spending time with mum is fun, even though she tends to repeat her questions! Hee... :)


Things have been going great. Since I've decided to work only 3 days a week, it really clears my head to do other stuff. Now on my wonderful off days, I clean and organize my room and maintain it too. I don't think people really realize the importance of having a clean and organized room. Some call it feng shui, I just call it good sense. I find that when your room is cluttered, you don't really feel the motivation to do anything in it. But when your room is clean and organized, I feel, that you feel the flow and therefore would wanna hang out in it more often and do things. Hmm... maybe that's why a lot of people stay in their bathrooms for long periods... cos its not really cluttered. ;) Moving on... I wake up now feeling more relaxed and really appreciating my room. Also, if you can customize your room, I think you should. It doesn't have to look good, cos its your room and its your ideas, and that's all that matters, as long as its your stuff. Putting you own touch to it is like getting a manicure: you pamper your nails, it looks prettier and you tend to wanna look after it more. Voila!


Food, glorious food
I discovered this shop that sells really awesome brownies. Its called P.osh at Dhoby Ghaut MRT. OK, I might be a little slow on my discovery but if you haven't heard of it, go check it out. They sell real wonderful tasting and looking brownies! And when you bite into it... ya feel good! Haha... take a look...

We (my AES pals) went Brewerkz to celebrate Sharilyn and Shaun's birthday. I'm already quite broke cos I'm saving up for Korea and the meal costed $59.20! Shared a beer with JY and Shaun and I still don't like beer. Like, I really don't like it. And people at work keep asking me to go out for a beer/drink! Why can't it be just dinner? I'd go for dinner... Anyway, I had the Mac & Cheese there and it wasn't nice. The dessert was nice though. I had the coconut creme brulee. Nice place to hang out and we had a nice waitress who I think enjoyed serving our table!

Alright, I'm gonna go prepare for work and go to sleep now. This week I'm only working 2 days! Shiok! One thing good about my workplace is that it has flexible hours... yup. Well, take care ya'll! :)

Any tips?

Any tips on taking a cold shower as quickly as possible? It is now day 4 (since Sunday) that there is no hot water in our house. Haha... And for the first time since I started working there, I took a shower at my workplace. Just so I don't have to take a cold shower at home! We called the heater guys as soon as we found out it was spoilt. They told us Tuesday. Tuesday came and went, then they said Thurs cos it might be an electrical problem and not the heater problem, blah blah blah. Eh, hot water is essential man! Hurry up la! Anyway, I'm working on Thursday so i'm definitely gonna take shower after work! Hee...

And my internet woes might be solved pretty soon. The internet guys are gonna come fix us up with a new wireless modem and a new internet plan that cost much less than what we're paying now. WOO! I so miss doing stuff on my PC in my room man. And having wireless around the house so I can put my laptop wherever I choose to, instead of being chained to the hall coffee table and having to plant my ass on the stool which is at a totally uncomfortable height! Anyway, by next week, I'll have nomal internet access again! :)

I recently took out this book called ''Happier'' by Tal Ben Shahar. I started reading it in December last year until about March. I kinda put it aside and forgot about it. Anyway, I took it out and coincidentally, it was about having life goals! About doing more ''want-to's'' instead of ''have-to's''. And it talks about this matter in relation to work! Then it goes to happiness in the workplace! Haha... how appropriate. Let's see what the books says eh?

Anyway, hope ya'll are doing well!

Ash Concert

Got 2 free tickets to the Ash concert on Thursday, 2 Oct, courtesy of my cousin Trixy. She was working at her company booth that provided the food there and she had 2 tickets! I like Ash's music, but I'm only familiar with their latest album ''Twilight of the Innocent''. Whatever previous albums that they had earlier, I know nothing about! Hee... But they had very loyal fans here who sang along and cheered at almost every song. Surprisingly, those fans weren't so sure of the newer songs! Haha...

The concert was supposed to start at 8. My sis and I got there at 7. Nothing happened until about 8.30+. There was a funny local band called Fish Tank for the opening act. Music not bad, but they didn't have to look so poor thing trying to sell their album!

Ash didn't come on until 9+. They were very nice people! Come from Ireland and they only spoke 2 Fucks throughout the whole concert. And I think they were pleasantly surprised at the response from the fans. They looked real happy. The singer was fantastic and he totally rocked out on the guitar. The basist was quiet but he was real attractive! Nice butt and he looked damn cool. The drummer was... a good drummer. :)

Got home around 11.30, took a shower and got into bed at 12+. Woke up at 6 the next day for work feeling totally dazed. We were standing around the second row so we were pretty much boxed in there for like 2 hours. My feet hurt. Plus I had to walk around for work, so now I'm typing this with aching feet! Haha... no worries!

So here are some pictures. First time I used my camera for concerts. Well, my sis took all the pics cos when I watch concerts I just like to stand there and stare... :)

The awesome band!

The rocking singer!

The cute basist!

Working on Hari Raya

Phew! It was such a packed day man! There were a couple areas where you couldn't walk 5 steps without having to avoid someone! And after one show ended, people were just cramming to get out of the place. Feedings went quite alright. Some areas where the sound was softer, I had to raise the level of my voice more. That's not so fun... And since it was a public holday, there were plenty of families there. That means... aunties and uncles!!! The bad ones... the ones that steal seats from children and pregnant women. They are rude and they talk loudly when I'm doing my feedings. Some of the aunties kids pushed other kids to get a good view of the animals, and some pushed me for no reason! There's this one girl, I was just standing there. Suddenly I felt a hard push at my hip. I looked down and that brat was just staring at me. Instinctively, I pushed her back and gave her a ''you like that?'' look. Sigh... kids these days...

Then after work, I took a bus home. 138 and 927 came at the same time. The bus stop has space for 2 buses. So 138 stopped at the 1st spot and 927 at the 2nd spot. All the aunties and some workers rushed to the bus. Seriously, they ran like someone was giving out stacks of hundred dollar bills. I was one of the first few to board the bus, until... a few workers pushed pass me to get on the bus. Like how in Amazing Race when they go India and the people push past them? Exactly like that. The 1st guy shocked me when he pushed pass me, then the 2nd guy tried to push past me again! Ya know how they're rather small and I'm rather big... I used what I had and I pushed him aside! Haha... Of course, he moved with ease and I managed to get on the bus with a decent seat.

Then while I was waiting for the bus to move off, A couple people who don't look retarted came up the bus from the back door! The driver was kinda old and he didn't do anything about it... Then when the aunties managed to get on the bus, they grabbed whatever seats they could and they even tried to chope seats for their bratty kids/grandkids! The ugly side of Singaporeans...

Anyway, I went to watch Eagle Eye with mum and sis that night. It was rather ok. The action sequences were packed full of adreneline! And Shia Labeouf is always a treat to watch! I also watched House Bunny. Like most Happy Madison (Adam Sandler company) films, the comedy is funny but most of it you've probably seen in the trailer and there's always something lacking, which most of the time is depth and character establishment (as I'd like to call it). Nevertheless, its a nice funny show to watch and its definitely one you watch with friends, guys and girls.
