samedi, août 21, 2010 Being babysat is a fun experience. I was babysat by two friends on Sat, from 230pm-1030pm, and this is my activity diary:2.30-3.00 - Tea Time! - I drank bubble tea at Novena Square - I had some exercise time: walk back to church 3.00-4.00 - Home Time - Then we went to my babysitters' new house, still being renovated, to play in the mud and muck for a while. We even had a visualisation exercise on "Let's Imagine What The Room Will Look Like", as well as a lesson on measurements with rulers and measuring tapes on the floor! We also had a bonus art lesson, on how to make a Screed Floor, and what makes it pretty. 4.00-5.00 - Making Money Light - We had a short lesson on mathematics, as we sat in a hot pink place full of lights, and worked on the object lesson for that time: budgeting and money. It was a good time because we learned that sometimes, going to further locations means cheaper deals! 5.00-7.00 - Cultural Exchange - Because it is the Because it is the month of Ramadan, it is a good time to visit Geylang Serai, to explore the festival that they have going on along the streets. It was a good time of eating putu piring, looking at really really really really cheap cushions and cushion covers, plants, and all sorts of other items on sale in the carnival! Along the way, we also explored some interesting surprises along the way: .JPG) 7.30-8.30 - Independent Project Time - My babysitters allowed me some time to work on my independent project, a tiramisu ice-cream cake, while they went to discuss some other matters with their uncle. I went shopping for cake boxes and trays, and cocoa powder. (Post coming up next about how to make this.) 8.30-10.30 - Dinner! - We ended the day with another semi-cultural exchange, eating dinner at Gurney Drive restaurant at AMK central. Not too expensive, and yummy to boot! Libellés : christian, church, humour [Being Babysat] |

mardi, décembre 08, 2009  So you're in spin class, and let's face it, it's been a while since the last time you tortured yourself with this class (although you sort of excused yourself by saying that the music's so ah beng and mostly unsingable, so it wasn't so fun.)And then about 45 mins into the class, you're in 3rd position, huffing heavily, and you think your heart is about to simply explode from the strain, and suddenly, there's a tap on your hand. You look up and the sweat-drenched face of your friend tells you, "Go faster." Bring it on, baby.

lundi, décembre 07, 2009 old friends bring on the pain (and you love it)  There are good friends, and then there are GOOD friends.There are old friends, and then there are REALLY old friends. Then you go to the gym together and suddenly you realise that you've never realised how completely sado-masochistic they are. And then even more suddenly, you've got two standing appointments to go to the gym on a weekly basis. Then suddenly, you realise why you're friends. (... or maybe it's time to review and reconsider that status...) [old friends bring on the pain (and you love it)] |
samedi, décembre 05, 2009 Tissue paper in Singapore hawker centres  Many things have been said about how we "chope" or save seats using tissue paper, especially in the Singapore CBD. Much has also been written about the plight of poor Singaporeans hawking tissue papers at food courts.I don't think anyone has written about these completely adorable tissue papers with modified movie titles on them, and with animals substituting the protagonists. From top left, clockwise: ANIMAL STORY (Toy Story), THE RING OF THE KING (Lord of the Rings), A FROG'S LIFE (A Bug's Life), MOVIES INC (Monsters Inc), M:i-3 (MI:3), and FINALE FANTASY (Final Fantasy.) I think this is the best $1 I've ever spent. [Tissue paper in Singapore hawker centres] |
jeudi, novembre 26, 2009 Engravings and their Significance... or not.  I've always thought that engravings in the inner part of rings were hopelessly swoonworthy romantic gestures. Because they're on the insides of the rings, nobody can see the engraving, and only the owner has the power to read the message (and maybe show it to a select few.)One of my closest friends had an (ex)bf engrave "X, will you be mine?" inside a ring as he asked her to be his girlfriend. Ben and Yimei also have a lovely hand-crafted pair of wedding bands, and from the photo they posted, it looks like they engraved the insides too - I have no idea what it says though. It got me asking myself: what would I like to see engraved on the inside of my ring? I think it's a sign of something that I immediately thought: "Wah seh, better engrave my name and handphone and email in case I lose it."

vendredi, septembre 04, 2009 Finally, blogger looks like it might work. I've not been posting because both blogger and fb have been acting up on me, looking all funky with buttons missing and all.1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts 2 - Go to "Random quotations"... Read more or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. Please wait until I am wrong. 3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together (or www.picnik.com).

vendredi, juillet 03, 2009 Heartlander is where the Heart is (Part II)  In my last post about how I'm a heartlander, I posited that I am a heartlander because it's about how comfortable you are in your own skin within that HDB-dweller sphere. I refuted claims that I had to be excluded from the heartlander category because of my zip code, or because of my proximity towards certain "gourmet" supermarkets, or because I am able to stand apart from the scene, and appraise/analyse, as objectively as I can, the entire situation.In this next post (I have a feeling this might become a series of posts!) I want to deal with the flip side of the coin - people who CLAIM to be heartlanders, but are really high-society debutantes masquerading as heartlanders. I picked up the SkinnyDrummer two nights ago, as I wanted to make a run to AMK Central to explore wiring possibilities (long explanation, has to do with my birthday party.) She got into the car, and asked me why I wanted to go to AMK when she was the one who was the "true heartlander". This of course sparked off a massive argument (I AM A HEARTLANDER!) which continued through the drive, the parking, the coupon-tearing, and the walking into AMK Central. The first sign that supports my theory that she's no heartlander was when we got to the big square outside ValueDollar/This Fashion - there was a pasar malam (PM) in action! (Sorry about the unfortunate acronym.) Not that the PM was trouble - rather, it was our reactions to them. I was pretty pleased to see the PM because it was a break from the monotony of the regular stores in AMK Central, and because, well, PMs are always carnival-esque, which is cheap welcome relief and entertainment, especially in this dreary economic climate. SkinnyDrummer, on the other hand, was all blase about it. "Please don't stop, please don't stop, please don't stop," was all she could say when we walked past the garishly flashing lights of the game stalls. Aren't heartlanders supposed to fall for this sort of gimmick? I'm not saying that PMs sell snake-oil (some, quite literally, do), but the carnival is a global phenomenon, meant for the peasants, or in the modern context, the heartlanders. The spoilsport pseudo-heartlander was very reluctant to look around the place, grumbling when I picked up a S$1.80 clear folder for my song worship leading that "You just HAVE to buy something right?" Not really, was my reply. I have been waiting for a PM so that I can get cheaper clear folders, which are often hideously expensive at Popular. I delay my gratification for a super duper cheap deal; how is that not a heartlander-ish trait? If I were really atas, I would drive to Takashimaya the instant I wanted a clear music folder, and buy a branded one. So that was strike 2 against the so-called self-proclaimed heartlander. .jpg) But she got one back at me though - when I was paying, she stood beside me, but a lady approached her and tapped her on the shoulder to ask her "Got sell scotchtape or not?" SX was all like "DUUDE, I DON'T WORK HERE." Then she turns around and claims that she's a heartlander because she was mistaken for a PM stall helper.I think I'll give this one for her; the incident afforded many, many minutes of gut-busting laughter. We next move over to the clothes, where I tried bargaining in Bahasa (fail fail fail) for an embroidered top, then got fed up and went to buy food instead. The pseudo-heartlander then starts to moan about the heat and no aircon. Lest you tell me that heartlanders should be complaining since it's a national pastime, it really wasn't a very hot day - it had just rained, and this was past 8pm at night, when it's cooler. So why was this so-called "heartlander" bitching about the heat and running to any place which had the bare minimum of air-conditioning - like, say, the entrance of a store - and stand there flapping her arms and her t-shirt to let the cool air in? Then we walk to the food. And this girl does NOT like 茶叶蛋. And she's never eaten muah chee. And a lot of other stuff at the PM. Now, if I'm not a foodie, and she's a heartlander, how is it possible that I have eaten and love 茶叶蛋 and muah chee while she doesn't like and has never tried all these quinessential "heartland foods"? So my friends, if you won't let it go that I am an "atas-face", then at the very least, please disabuse SkinnyDrummer of the delusion that she is a heartlander. Let her know, NOW.

Today in the office, we were looking for the most cringeworthy Star Wars lines, and having a wild laugh. (For the record, it was from the Clone Wars - Anakin Skywalker's "I'm haunted by the kiss you should never have given me.") Then one of the interns pointed out that the universally-hated Jar Jar Binks looked like... Ronaldino.  [Star Wars: Bad Lines] |
