vendredi, octobre 27, 2006 1) I love my friends, ALL of them, even the annoying ones, the deluded ones, the evil, bitchy ones... but why do they ALL HAVE TO GET MARRIED IN OCTOBER/NOVEMBER?!? At last count, it was 7! That's like, one every week!2) Work and study is not making me a happy bunny. My balance is waaaay off. 3) Why the day only 24 hours long? 4) I think I have forgotten how to do readings, and write a term paper. No, I don't think, I KNOW that I've forgotten. 5) Does anyone know how to negate the need for sleep altogether? Sleep is wasting my time. [I. Am. Worried.] |

20th September 2006 - Fireworks, taken on my old VGA camera phone. As seen from the top of the top of Singapore's New Asia Bar - my first (and probably only) time there.   After which I reached the height of cool (which I could never aspire to again), and crashed a helipad party hosted by Institutional Investors, as the other Bank staff sort of just milled around in a drunken stupor downstairs, too wired to go home, not believing that the Meetings were about to be over. The view from the top.[Pretty fireworks] |

dimanche, octobre 15, 2006 Adeline's iPod: Dead On Arrival (DOA)    She passed it to me and begged me to do my worst to it - it was making a relentless clicking noise, like the hard disk was trying to spin, but failing to. I thought it was a hard disk failure, and told her that it could be fixed with an expensive HDD replacement.However, upon opening up the iPod (with the help of scotch-tape to prevent scarring, and a flat carving knife for the major incision), the failure was not the hard disk as suspected, but the motherboard. That discovery sealed the iPod's fate - cannibalism. The HDD now resides in Adeline's room as an extra HDD, and I am in possession of a spare 4G iPod casing and a useless motherboard.

 Why? The combination of her sexy pose, obviously siren, plus the outstretched arm not reaching to you, but like casting a spell on you, the wild hair juxtaposed against the flames which fan out in mimicry of her crown, and the utter deliciously evil look on her face. Mandy or Mer, could you suggest a medium? Oils? What would be good for this? [I want to paint this] |

Quite some time ago (like sometime in JULY), I had a pair of shoes that needed their heels changed, and I decided to get them changed in between appointments at Bukit Merah. This guy treated my shoes so roughly as he was removing the heels that he damaged the sides of my shoes, and they had to be repaired as well. Granted - they were sort of falling apart on the sides already, but I was planning to get rubber glue and do it myself. The repairs and replacement of the heel cost 1/3 of the cost of the shoe! Next time I'm going to Ang Mo Kio - the uncle there changes high heel rubber soles for only $3.

Pencilcases were simpler back in those days - the more compartments you had on your  Apollo Milk Chocolate Wafer Cream - one large pack of 10 for 70cents!

lundi, octobre 09, 2006 How do men feel when they’re in love? This is really funny, in a sweet way:Q: How do men feel when they’re in love? We’re not psyched always. I remember when I first fell in love with my wife I was like, “Oh, God, not this. This is the worst,” because I was out of control and wanted to spend all my time with her. - Greg Behrendt, author of He’s just not that into you and It’s Called A Breakup Because It’s Broken [How do men feel when they’re in love?] |

dimanche, octobre 08, 2006 McDonalds Game: Highly Addictive  Amanda introduced me to this game, and I'm lovin' it! Thank goodness I'm not much of a gamer, so I'm not completely hooked, but it's an excellently programmed game! Takes a while to load, but it's worth it!It's a little bit in the style of Sim City and Dune 2000, where you manage a whole load of stuff at the same time, and where you can accelerate the time to see the impact of your actions. Good for kids who think "go and work at McDonalds lor" is a viable employment fallback plan. [McDonalds Game: Highly Addictive] |

Pondering out loud: Stale Water  I always bring a huge mug of water in my Shark Cup up to my room to drink as I surf and unwind after each day. I'm not a huge water-drinker, so I always have leftover water from the night before. I dump it and refill the mug every day.Most people would think this a normal thing to do - the water's from the night before, so just get a fresh glass for the next night. But everytime I throw out the water, I think about the phrase "stale water".  Can water be stale? I throw out my water because I open my windows and there's a lot of dust that flies in and settles on the top of the water, which makes it gross. But barring that happening, I always wonder if it's justifiable if I throw out water, just on the basis that it's "stale", or from the day before.Can water truly become stale? It gets dirty, no doubt about that, but stale? [Pondering out loud: Stale Water] |
lundi, octobre 02, 2006 I'm so incredibly busy that I don't understand how everything's just flying by me with nary a breath to take. And yet despite my worrying about church, worrying about school, and working really hard at the bank, I'm still feeling happy, and putting in a full 8 hours of sleep each day (I refuse to compromise on this for as far as I can take it.)And sometimes - a lot of times - music's the only thing which can express what I'm feeling. For this sentiment, it's Life Is A Highway, cos I want to ride it all night long. And if you're going my way... all the better for both of us. Mich & Rie - thanks for being on the road with me. You make the scenery so much prettier.  Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're going my way Well, I wanna drive it all night long Life Is A Highway - Rascal Flatts (Cars OST) - although the original by Tom Cochrane sounds better [Life is a Highway] |
