I spent 199 on a Raoul shirt, and while trying in , I inspired this china girl (who was obviously a mistress of this uncle) to try it on too. Laughs. Too bad the uncle didnt wanna buy it for her after looking at price tag.
well, I didnt mean to sound so shallow. However that certain uncle couldnt take his eyes of my girl friend. - certified Dirty Old Man. yikes.
and yes and why this is a paradox. It's because I spent 12 bucks on a tee.
Not just any t-shirt tho. It's a special one. I'll post pictures! :)
makes me long for the yummy seafood, all things chilli, buying street food, trying to speak thai, dodging those crazy tuktuks who try to bring us on a detour!!
Have a great trip all of you ! Dont forget my gifts. hehe
Anyway yes, hurray for the DS.
:)
Shintia- see you on Thursday. Thursday is special. For special peeps like you *wink*
my lunch pickings this afternoon- Katong Laksa and a delectable coconut. Woo. I love the east!
love it.
Just a fun fact: I had tom yum soup 3 times this week in 4 days. hahaha
Most appliances, when plugged in to the wall, consume energy even when the product is not in use. These appliances include cellphone chargers, DVD's, TV's and washing machines. Consumers believe their appliance is off, when it is actually standing by and still consuming power. Test your cellphone charger - feel the charger whilst it is plugged in and not in use. It will be warm to the touch. Those are wasted watts! They are often referred to as "energy vampires" because they have 2 teeth and suck electricity continuously!
well. I'm sucha kid.
Anyway loved the LIVE EARTH movement, i guess nevermind that one day of splurging on electricity to raise so much awareness. For that, maybe I'll forgive them.
The messages are strong this time. Answer the call.
I'm really wondering where can I watch Al gore's The inconvenient truth. Word has it that GV got rights to screen it during the recent Cannes. So I hope somewhere soon.
Anyway we should all learn- to unplug our plugs from their sockets. They're like vampires, they continue to use energy even if your appliances aint switched on.
For office workers- plsplspls switch off your computers, Dont put it on stand by till the next day. Not cool.
thats all. A little bit goes a long long way.
:)
Well It's great because I had a long afternoon all to myself thereafter, so I brought my little doggie for a walk and then I went for a swim. Probably my 1st this year, If you didnt count those moments in the water durinig wakeboarding haha.
I FEEL GOOD.
that about sums it up.
However feeling so good has made me lazy that I'm reluctant to read my textbook...for tomorrow's Quiz.
HOLIDAYS NX WEEK. hurray.
My present nail color has already been chipping off since day 3. :(
PRESENTING MY SUPER PATRIOTIC PICTURES! LOL
Shuffling between school, work and some leisure time equated to a super dazed student.
I will
1)work less next week
2)Shop less
3)Study more
Oh, Im planning to run in the morning tmr, we'll see if this materializes.
Attended the NDP preview this evening with Mom, the Apache and F16s bought me over. They even showed off their different types of speedboats used by coast guards and more. There was even this segment with naval divers diving into the water from a copter.
Lovely week, apart from looking like a Panda half of the time. :) I even managed a trip to dempsey road with Mervin only to have him think that I ate like a mouse since i dined on salad only . Finally got to sit in a land rover Defender!
Timbre the following day with my girls. Pity the performance by Timmy band was sub standard that night. .
Did I mention getting a cab this days is like sieving for Gold in the river! The hell. I spent 20mins tonight trying to call a cab from 4 diff cab companies . The results for those calls- I STILL DIDNT GET A FREAKING CAB.
annoyance.
Either the Esplanade is cursed of the cabbies are just too rich to do biz.
Ill post pictures of the NDP once i load them :)
check back!
And Hubert if you read this. HOW COULD YOU FORGET :( hahahaa ok im kidding! at least you made it on time!
Had a chat with raymond (another raymond )awhile ago, I've got to give a hand to this typographer extraordinaire, Art director of an intergrated communications firm and snake wrangler rolled into one. Firstly for working 9am to 11pm ever so often because someone holds a teaching job in the evening and possess certain charms that make his students hit on him hahaha.
And for encouraging me to stop talking and get back to my project .
I'm done with my project finally, cept for the summary. darn
BUT before i start rejoicing. Theres revision to be done and my last paper this sat!
on a random note: I'm listening to U2.
I've squeezed a little time out of my schedule to fit in Jeremy Monteiro's Jazz concert tomorrow :) A pair of Tickets sponsored by the National Arts Council.. schweet!
Oh and staring at my neighbour's bicycles all the time has lead to the resurrection of biking days I had as a kid. "MOMMY I WANT ONE" doesn't work anymore. Or at least I'm to shy to do that.
Before i lay my hands on a bike tho, there are certain things to clear off that wish list ! such as the DS LITE (can'twaite) and a nice pen for daddy.
notice Dads are always discounted for their part in raising us up? so If you forgot it's really not too late to buy him a gift or express your appreciation. hee
night all
Just uploading one out of 3 pictures.I'll post the other two after the magazine is published incase there are some issues :)
Thats a real snake by the way! A ball python to be exact.
A big thanks to Mervin the photographer, Steven the stylist and Raymond who gave some art direction .
Today's like family day for me, my dad was back for 8 short hours in Singapore, so had brunch with him and spent some time talking. Then in the afternoon, my brother and me sent Dad off.
Went for an early dinner at suntec's ichiban boshi, shopped like mad. We bought 4 boxes of royce, 4 cheese cakes and 3 tops from Lacoste.
The Big brother got me a sweater! yea!
Then we whent to church to pick Mom who just returned from Malaysia. Drove her home, unpacked all her things.
Then i received word from two of my friends who were abroad. Its so nice to hear that your pals are doing well! One of my friend teaches art to japanese kids in Bangkok now. Another is making her way to Aussie to study English .
As for me, Im loving SIngapore, anticipating the States, dying to visit the Zoo, craving for cheese cake, starving for sleep.
that sums up today. :) Im gonna get my craving fix and then head to sleep early!
here's the fun part, wearing a watch that cost 300K on my ankle for one of the shots (which prompted Steven, the stylist to barre me from walking around since a watch valued to be a big HDB flat was sitting on my precious ankle). The shot was done with a small python crawling down my legs.
And wearing one of my Company's Chopard watches and another's on my both wrist , arms posed against my arms and chest once again with the snake curled around my wrists.
the photographer's gonna send me some copies so I might post them up. Can't wait to see those up on the magazine!
On another note Ive a new found love for snakes. The way they feel when they coil on you, the pure strength of their muscles, they love for the dark and warm places. And how they dont need much maintence and care , makes a good pet! hahaa
I'm a major nerd now , clocking at least 12-15hrs the past 6 days on my computer. My eyes feel dead and so does my mind :(
talk about torture.
anyway I've been thinking about the two personality/trait tests administered to me by a friend 2 nites ago over the phone. Its more of a career test, turns out i got couple of questions wrong on my ability because i equated things to God. Therefore I do not belief 1) Fate is in my own hands and 2)Every thing can be achieved by hard work. Because to me, things are God given and we have control over ourselves yes but not total control!
thats about it, night all! I really need to sleep
Anyway here's another picture from my rehearsals for the arts festival. ELEVATION!
kudos to Khomi who passed her 1st bike practical! looking forward to hitch your red vespa ride babes!
I was reading a girl friend's blog, she's facing a breakup and it seems all those postings mirrored how I felt since that fateful day some years ago. That rush of emotions when you left me, how I waited for an sms from you. How nighttime was the worst time. Its funny I guess the way sometimes a person could mean everything to you at one point and none all the same at the other.
But of course I'm fine now, but seeing this girl have to go through it all brings me silent sadness. Well I wish I could be there for her , but we're not exactly good friends and I wouldnt be appropriate if I even spoke about this to her. I guess most of the time when people face a break up, they mostly feel alone. It's as it no one feels the unique pain you're going through..
AMIGOS!
Me with senor Kohl eyes, the man whos got the beatles look, roundest eyes, and doll-iest face :)
more pictures coming up!
The La Fura group
us performers
PRESENTING ! the HUMAN NET! yea baby
my glamourous name was on Straits time's Life section yesterday too. hahahaa I did Mdis proud by quoting i was a student there! laughs.
Okay so the performance starts tonite! how exciting and thers' gonna be fireworks! Only for tonight.
Its interesting to see the 40 of us performers came from all over. From a medical student, a journalist, a dj, a news reporter, dance instructor etc :)
i hope to get some pictures posted up soon. Performance pictures that is. so stay tuned :)
Being up in the air with the breeze, having an entire view of the surrounding area of the padang. is a once in a lifetime experience :), unless you're from La fura dels baus haha.
The instructors were speaking a mix of spanish and english. It's funny because mistakenly called our legs- arms. And all I could comprehend was phrases such as Holla! , chickas, donitos. Perimo, quattro and so on.
There was even one performer from La Fura that looked like he belong on set of Pirates of the Carribean, Mostly because he looked so sharp in his shaven head and his beard was obviously painstakenly shaven to perfection to create some fierce waving effect on his jawline. He was the craziest of the lot, making out a barrage of sound effects as he went along his act on the wheel.
and goodness gracious that CNA wants to interview the 3 of us later on, worst of all its in Chinese?...Now i sure need some help!
ps performance will be friday thru sunday . Starts at 7pm. Free for all! however I'll be running around in some space suit thingy which is slightly laughable. I doubt i can be spotted / differentiated.
Featured for being a Singaporean based in San Fransisco who holds a rather prestigious job- Special effects animator for spiderman 3. :)
His Daddy's gonna be really proud!
anyway guys if you guys could help me with this 6 qnestion short survey on portable game consoles.
http://www.createsurvey.com/c/53031-e0cUtf/
many thanks!
it's for my projecT!
one of the days of rehearsal for the Arts fest is the 23rd and!!! I was suppose to be briefed about my ocu campus residency programme to the US.
I didnt realise the other day when Dr Matt said , looks Like I've got to inform the in charge now.
I caught spidey 3 last night. Guess the only highlight was the gorgeous James Franco. Ken was obviously trying to re-live his childhood. with the help of a lolly. hahahahaa .
anyway i frequently forget to say this and since you (KEN) read my blog. thanks for sending me home. Dont say that i do not update my blog !
anyway FYI guys. Im performning with the group La fura dels baus from spain.
Abit on them
Established in 1979, "La Fura dels Baus" in Spain is an innovative theater with constant improvements in performing arts. Since the debut of "Accions" in 1983, "La Fura dels Baus" astonished both audiences and critics internationally and conquered over 3 million audiences throughout their more than 2,500 shows all over the world. Through years of creating experiences, "La Fura dels Baus" has formed their own unique language, style and taste which just like a label.
Performance runs from 25 to 27June. 8pm at the padang :)
thru a spate of events.
1)losing my card holder which contains my IC, my licence, my student pass and more
2)then my HP slipped out of my pocket on the bus ride to work
3)This afternoon after checking my bank statement - 2 fraud transactions done on my debit card at soo kee jewellery. the damage done to me... 500 bucks. boohoo
the bright side of things, I got my IC back from some man at dempsey road where i dropped it, so i gave him a red packet.
my Hp was returned to me by some negro guy who alighted with me at the same bus stop. awesome!
the Bank situation ..pending.
but losing 500 is not the end of my life. However thru the first 2 events. I feel like God placed all these lovely people in my path who helped me along the way. My mom's a darling too for always telling me not to worry , cuz worry doesnt help. I think prayers do a great lot ! :)
Just some of the designs you can cut up with OA. Skies the limit really.
If you like, check this too http://www.taviori.ro/pagina_expo_01.htm
Well, I'm confirmed for the Arts Festival Performance, the workshop and performance is next month. We've been told we'll be either performing on a wheel or forming a human net with cables lifted up by a crane. It's a collaboration with world renowned La fura del beau group of performers.
till the wee hours of last night. I spent at least 2 hours making what you probably least expected. I made Min a birthday card. Actually, I'm sure you guys can expect that for me, If blessed with the luxury of time..I'm sure I'll make a card. I'm not those who just buy one of the shelves as I find meaning in crafting one.
of Lately, it stucked me that the yacht and boating scene and Sg in livening up. If i had the money uh-huh. I'll invest in one of these. I'm particularly blessed this week because someone made me chocolate mousse. Tasty no doubt, my office is stocked up with lots of swiss chocolates too by the MD who came back from Basel( the Swiss watch and Jewellery fair).
temptation is sweet.
was reading magazines in the office when I stumbled across the column on the singapore flyer (the up and coming giant ferris wheel) . Each capsule has a differnt theme and private capsules sit up to 30pax! You could book an entire one (starting from $1000) to hold events. It looks cool, pre booking has already started. Otherwise you could also get them normal tickets.
:)
we took polaroids in the graduation outfit(coupled with trophies and scroll) and danced the entire night! AWESOME.
I'll post up some pictures soon.
On other notes, I've to work some days this week, There's also Min's birthday, an interview with the national art's council. Lunch with Bi and more!
I hope to squeeze in some rollerblading this weekend! :)
beautiful Shadow, we found a home for her last night! Hurray! :)
if i get thru it! I'll write more regarding the matter.
two year old huskie, white gray and black coat. Looking for a nice warm home to run in.
call me quick to help this dearling! oh and this is not related to the sms thingy floating around incase u guys were wondering.
I got my mani and pedicure done and I bought a winter coat and yet another pair of skinny jeans.
(at least this time the length of the Jeans suffice that of my legs. twice they were too short *grumbles*)
hurray. And i've placed a reservation on that sweet knitted sweater from Gap. Well the sales assistant had me in awe last night. He's sooo helpful and cheery. Well he was zipping around the shop at a good speed , helping me look for the sweater in the right size. And then when I showed an unsated look to him at the apparent damages on that piece he ran to get me another. Assisted me with the reservation thingy and said : Anything just refer them to me, Nicholas! *In gusto*
and he did all that with a huge smile on his face. =)
I'm gonna collect it later with Irene. And should I mention because the Lady is a personal asst of the chief exe of FJ benjamin that owns GAP. We get a very special discount. *grin*
it's 11:30 now, sent Dad to the airport this morning. I'm so sleepy from last night! But Timbre was good, with Sha, Ade, Hubie and his friends. (except from that pounding headache i was suffering from last nite .)
anyway thru breakfast this morning with Mommy, we decided to we're gonna swim and jog alot more this week since im on vvvvvvaccccaaation!
ok time for some indulgence, cat naps!
yawn
We're still gonna to. This blog still exists hahaaa
the reason for my absence somewhere during the Singapore Fashion Fest till now was due to Work and Sch projects. No surprises! ha
My exam is tomorrow and I've already shopping on the agenda for my two weeks vacation thereafter. I wanna buy the GAP sweater I saw some time back. It's a lovely knited one. And I wanna get a manicure!
And I've been looking for a coat. Woolen winter Coats, was comtemplating on getting a red one , or perhaps either gray or black! since it's not winter season the stores dont have much. I tried ebay and was largely disappointed. *grumbles*
well anyways ill write again. With lotsa free time in the coming 2 weeks, I'l be back :)
XOXO
Sometimes I wished I was wendy in peter pan, or alice in wonderland. I'm a huge burton and depp fan, and I reckon the only anti-aging methodology is to have dreams, gun for them, and believe that disneyland is still the happiest place on earth.
