Elaine’s Birthday

Transfership of iPod owner to me… Thank you dear~ Spend our sunday ripping cds. And also a jog round Bukit Purmei. We climb our way up Mount Faber through stairs. Panting and panting. I strain my back and injured my tendon.

Went to Elaine’s 21st birthday party. Quite a big group of friends. But we had a chance to gather and chat with our friends. Nice to see familar faces around. We gals left early and had a supper at NYDC Holland Village. Gals chat throught the nite. Heez~

Unorganised Thoughts

Read this when i was in the salon last saturday:
“A lot of women expect their friendships and social life to happen effortlessly. It may be that way in high school, when everyone is stuck in the same boat. But it doesn’t work in adulthood, when everyone has her own set of priorities. People who succeed at friendship are those who invest time and thought into making pals. They show their friends that they’re valued.”

Yesterday took half day off to Suntec Computer Fair. Slept at 7pm till 2am. Went to the West Coast MacDonald’s Drive-Thru to get my dinner. Interesting~

Happen to hear this on air, 11 March 1302, is Romeo and Juilet’s wedding according to Shakespear.

The Hitch And A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Went to cut my hair last saturday. Erm… Now my head looks BIG~ Hahaha… Meet up with Bong to shop for her Annual Dinner & Dance for her club. Spend the whole afternoon at Orchard eventually.

Had an unplanned “movie marathon”, watched The Hitch and A Series of Unfortunate Events one after the another. The Hitch is nicer than A Series of Unfortunate Events I would say. The latter one has no plot at all just a display of the good cinematography, visuals and make-up effects. While The Hitch is more meaningful.

A Very Long Engagement

We watched ‘A Very Long Engagement’ on Sunday. It was a sudden decision to catch a movie. Wanted to watch ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ but they left the first row available.

A Very Long Engagement is a French movie about how a war separate the young couple after their engagement. Mathilde, the young lady, deeply believes that her fiancée is still alive even others have given up. Through little clues here and there, she starts her search for her fiancée, who has disappeared from the trenches of the Somme during World War One.

I thought i’ll tear. Nah… I din. But as i turn and walk out of the cinema, i saw a seat full of crumble tissues, i burst out into big laughter. Wonder which idiot cry. Hahaha~

Took a day off from my work. Watched the Oscar Awards, did some running, ironing and clearing my wardrobe. Hmm… Sense of fulfilment. Heez~

The Grey Grey Sky

Wonder how long can one feel demoralise?

The feeling of the sky is always grey and cloudy when it is actually sunny and bright. The feeling of being strong but yet so strengthless. The feeling of you own your life, but others own you.

Not easy being a human eh? (o.O)

Constantine

Another great movie by Keanu Reeves. Movie about exorcism, human, demons and angels. Good visuals. It gets into the plot very quickly, and you get to see creatures at the first 10 minutes. Some part of it is hilarious, definitely worth a laugh. But 1 lame flaw that kills the image of an angel. Duh~

I love all these fantasy genre of movies. But it just makes me uncomfortable each time I finish them. I hate the feeling of being “brain-washed”, and keep my brain all occupied with flying angels, demons appearing in my mirror while washing my face, bio-zombies pushing their ways up from the stairs and out from the lifts. Man~ There is a likelihood that I will suffer from mental disorder one of these day.

I hate to be reminded of the number of days I have on this earth. The feeling of uncertainty to the world after your last breathe is enough to make me toss around the bed throughout the nite. Once she told me, you fear because you have things that are not accomplished. Pretty true isn’t it?

Origins of Valentine’s Day

Every February we celebrate Valentines Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. You may be wondering, “Who is St. Valentine”?

Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn’t fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine’s actions he had him put to death.

Another legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailor’s daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first ‘valentine’ himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it ‘Your Valentine’, words still used on cards today.

Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, “desire”). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all and my dear~ (^_^)

Happy Chinese New Year

Without fail, every chinese new year, i’ll hear stories of those unfilial sons and daughter-in-laws.

The number of unfilial ones is increasing and continue to live in their unfilial, selfish ways, but the good one is never being appreciated. Bastard…

Shall We Dance

Saturday

This weekends is rather a busy one. Every chinese has been working on their spring cleaning and chinese new year goodies buying. There is no exception for my family as well…

Woke up at 8am in the morning and was regret to find that i was late for work. Erm… It’s a false alarm. I don’t work on saturdays. Head straight to my bed again till my parents dig me up to go Taman Jurong’s Sheng Song. Spend the morning there to buy those goodies and packet drinks. No doubt, it is definitely crowding.

Started to clear the shoe racks outside, wash the flowers stand and floor. I feel the strains in my back and so, i decided to pull out the long hose out to the corridor instead of carrying pails of water out. Stupid me… I forgot to turn the tap off before connecting the hose to it. In the end, i wet half of my kitchen and whole of myself. Luckily my parents were not at home, if not they will nag at me.

Decided to take a rest, entertain myself with Alice In The Wonderland. Nah~ This is my second time watching it. And i never tahan till the 30 minutes benchmark. I fall asleep again. Conclusion is, i did not bake any cake as i suppose to, neither did i clean the rest of the rooms. Duh~

Had little coffee chats with Bong and my dad late at nite. Erm… What a cold nite it is. Ah choo~

Sunday

We watched Shall We Dance at Marina Square. Somehow i like the idea of having extreme personalities and different living lifestyles while you are at and after work. Just like Richard Gere in the movie who leads an ordinary lawyer’s life. He had a happy family but realised his life is so boring and dead. Everyday in the train, he would passby this dance studio, noticing Jennifer Lopez standing by the windows in deep thoughts. From there, he decided to give it a try on dancing. Slowly, he emerged and had his passion for dancing grows and blossoms. Heart-warming yet hilarious. Most importantly, you don’t feel as though you are rushing from one scene to another. Relatively slow but comfortable pace.

Met Geargina, Zhi Ming and her family at Marina’s carpark. She shouted, but i can’t figure out who the person is. Lester even mistook her as his mother’s friend. Hohoho~

We headed to Orchard for more shopping. Plan to eat Wen Dong Ji’s chicken rice for dinner but we ate too much junk food on our way. We tried Pepsi’s Fire and Pepsi’s Cold. Yup~ You got that gush of gases all up to your nose.

I was hooked with Sex And The City ever since the Pangkor trip. I still remember bong and me cooped up in the room most of our nites to watch HBO. And now, i have almost completed season 1. Each and every episode is so interesting. The topic is interesting, the conclusion is interesting, the quotes are interesting.
