Month: January 2005

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected: * a half-gallon of 2% milk, * a carton of eggs, * a quart of orange juice, * a head of romaine lettuce, * a 2 lb. can of coffee, * And a 1 lb. package of bacon.

As she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.While the cashier was ringing up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, “You must be single.”

The woman was a bit startled by this proclamation, but she was intrigued by the intuition, since she was indeed single.She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about her selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she said, “Well, you know what, you’re absolutely correct. But how on earth did you know that?”The drunk replied, “Cause you’re ugly !”

Friday

Friday has been a public holiday. So meet-up time for me with Chen Hui and Yi Mei. We went Esplanade rooftop and discover lots of changes. You will no longer see the big and spaces for sitting. Instead, they have the plants and platforms built.

Dinner at The Rice Table, because i have the voucher. Heez~ Pai seh huh… I’m quite a bit hungry at that point of time. Conclusion is i eat 3 servings of apple salad, 4 chicken satays, about half or more tahu telor and many others.

Saturday

Watched Elektra at Plaza Singapura. Elektra’s scene settings are pretty clean and zen-like. The animation effects are damn good. Story plot wise, well, all rounding the topic action-pack, what more can you expect?

Bought a lot of clothes and accessories from Plaza Singapura and Far East Plaza. If you want real fashion, this is it.

Recently hooked onto accessories like: earrings, bracelets especially and a couple of necklace. Hope to add to my collection soon. Heez~

Friday

These days have been really busy as both bosses are back in the office. Lately, I have to wait till 6pm in order to wait for London to turn 9am for business operating. So i waited, and waited, and waited patiently. Heez~ It’s just a funny feeling when London greeted you with a “Good morning!” while you are about to pack up and leave.

Watched The Phantom of Opera at GV Marina. The theatre is tiny winy small, but cosy. I din know about this story when i went to watch. Just that all my colleagues in office siao musical, and they have good reviews for this. Hmm…

I enjoyed throughout. Most of their conversations are expressed through singing. So you gotta pay 100% attention to their singing most of the time. And my dear, you have been fidgeting a lot. You need more of such training. Haha~

Saturday

We went Funan IT Mall. Lester can’t resist the ipoh Shuffle temptation and made a deposit. It’s not that they are not on the shelves yet. They have been sold out~ Next batch will only come next week.

We walk all the way to Chinatown for some clothing. Bought 2 skirts, 1 top and 1 jacket from OG and People’s Park Market. Well~ Those fashion shops in People’s Park Market are not selling any cheaper as well. Did went to the Chinatown Market. Hmm~ Nothing catch my attention. But i discover this year fashion is a little Bohemia + Thai like clothing. It’s all in colourful and cool material. But then, they din attract me. I tried the long skirt, and they become my ‘very long skirt’. Duh~ Can’t help it.

Heard the loud fire crackers and squeeze our way into the crowd. I promise i won’t do that. Nearly cannot breathe. Erm… Anyway, we see nothing as well. Haha~

Sunday

I catch a cold last nite. I think it might be becoz of my cold shower in the middle of the night. My eyes went swollen and i’m keep going ‘ah-choo’ continuously. That is killing me. Stuck 2 tissues to my nose, i know that’s ugly, but my nose feels more secure and stop all the ‘ah-chooing’. Funny nose.

Can’t wait for chinese new year. Feel rather different.

Oh yar… Tonight Singapore vs Indonesia in Tiger Cup. Saw Mohd Ridhuan, No. 2 player, in the Singapore team. At that point of time, “You finally make it to national team~” strikes me. This guy is my secondary school classmate. He has been excelling in school team’s track and field and school team’s soccer. Rather recognised, and he was sent to national team at his secondary school age. But i remember he was caught smoking with his friends in the void deck. That disappoints those PE teachers. Anyway, since he has found his path of career, shall congrats him.

Erm… This could be a little early. But i just wanna booked you people first.

I was thinking of a chinese new year gathering like what we had for the past few years. Do you people prefer having cozy steamboat at home or wanna eat out? Most pobably, it will fall on the 19th February 2005, a Saturday.

Please mark your attendance here and confirm your availability. Any other innovative and constructive suggestions are welcome as well.

Saturday

Wake up early to the banks. I opened another account in UOB and applied for their mini debit card for the moment. It’s free for lifetime. As for a credit card application, your annual income must be at least 3ok. My new account has this little limitation, daily balance for the day must be $500. As for OCBC, on average, you must have 1k in it, according to Serene. Diaoz~ Must plan how to put my money liao…

Went to Phoon Huat Jurong East to buy all those bakery ingredients. Headed back home for some spring cleaning. Nobody is at home except my mother. So i started throwing and she started picking them back. I’m the bad guy, i throw them away again while she is not looking. Hahaha~ Found 3 suntanning mats, 1 tumbler, 1 frisbee, 5 skipping ropes and 2 big boxes of barbie dolls… I’m not even done with my rooms. And i spend the next half of my night to baking cookies and making desserts.

Sunday

Went praying at Si Ma Lu with Lester’s family. Breakfast at Bugis’s Swensen. Fulling~

Been slacking the rest of the day at his house. Aimed to do birthday ecards. Nah~ Always never accomplished. Both of us ordered pizza for dinner. Just for 2, we spend $40++. Heez~ Got 1 pan size chicken supreme stuffed crust pizza, 1 chicken ole baked rice, 1 large popcorn chicken, 1 large whipped potatoes, 1 garlic bread, free 1 nachos chips and chicken wings. Heez~ Blurp~

Seems like many wanted to study again but don’t have the financial backup. Just a thought after reading my msn group.

Hmm~ I almost forgot the feeling of being a student again.

Catherine is back to work after her 2 months of maternity leave. Seems like it’s been ages.

Fanny is still on medical leave. Her womb is not strong enough to carry her baby. Dunno how long will she be staying at home. Worst come to worst is to stay in her bed with minimal movement till she gives birth to the child. Hai… Need to cover her admin work and no time for my own stuff.

Lunching at IBM tower. All 3 of us had mixed vegetable rice. Heng heng only mine had this little 1 cm long buggy in my plate, after finishing 3 quarter of my share. Yucks… The other 2 colleagues didn’t finish their portion as well. Idiot~

Second time encountering buggy…

Start my new year with a brand new look. Yup~ Yup~ Cut my hair again at Masa. Feel more comfortable visiting them the third time. My new look? Erm… I look like a monkey now. Too short to determine whether is it nice or not. Rather boyish…

Coop up in Lester’s house for the weekends. Purpose? Prepare for the chinese new year, clearing all his barangs. The most chen jiu gan i have is his wardrobe. Packed the clothing according to colors for easy access, standardized the clothes hangers with his mum’s help. Haha~

I like the feeling of throwing things, especially things that are not yours. Opps~ Shall be doing mine round this weekend. Lots more to clear. I have got my bedroom, my storeroom, my wardrobe, my mummy’s kitchen, the living room. Heez~ Throwing things time~

Lester’s mum taught me how to make blueberry cheesecake. Hmm~ Easy easy~ (^_^)

And we spend the start of 2nd January 2005 watching midnight movie, Meet The Fockers, at Great World City. Haha~ Non-stop laughing. Something to cheer you up with their insanity.

Steamboat the next nite and basically slacking all the time.

Happy New Year to all…
