everyone is stupid sometimes. some people raise it to an art form. we can learn alot from stupidity, either our own or that of others. lately, there seems to be a number of.. specimens. for me to work on.

when was the last time you watched a movie at LIDO?

the last time i watched, before yesterday, should be the time when i was in secondary school. remembered so vividly i watched a movie at 9ish. but that was the day of the chingay procession as well. so we sat on the lido ledge to watch chingay too..

anyhows, we headed for lido after dinner for a movie. everything, from the cinema to the advertisements, is so old-school! except that the squeaky chairs are gone though.. the signature "pillar in the cinema" and "toilet within the theatre" thingy still remain!

btw, the popcorn is superbly nice! you can even ask for extra butter! yummy...

the perfect man

The perfect man is gentle
Never cruel or mean.
He has a beautiful smile
And keeps his face so clean.

The perfect man likes children
And will raise them by your side;
He will be a good father
As well as a good husband to his bride.

The perfect man loves cooking,
Cleaning, and vacuuming too
He’ll do anything in his power
To convey his feelings of love on you.

The perfect man is sweet,
Writing poetry from your name.
He’s a best friend to your mother
And kisses away your pain.

He never has made you cry
Or hurt you in anyway.
Oh, heck this stupid poem...
The perfect man is gay!

byee rochester...

*waves goodbye to my rochester...*

well apparently, i should juz quit my job, and get a job at some developer's company instead. the private preview of the apt saw the units being sold, all sold out!

crabs!

booboo.. i thought i wont be eating crabs for the next 3 months, some 1 month ago.. i was wrong.

thank God i went for boxercise.. shred off some fats before i put on some more! haha.. not to mention those cholesterol, which for the longest time, i've not acknowledged that they are present in crabs.

tis time round, i had BOTH black pepper and chilli crab.. hehe..

and the price to pay for eating crabs.. a car full of bird shit.. oh well, we had to park under that big tree must we... :S

all in all, i am simply amazed by the amount of stuffs i can accomplish in one night.. do the hamster run in the gym, box, eat crabs, shop (vicariously thru weiwei, haha..), eat crabs, transfer money, wash car.. ooh!

btw, thanks so much weiwei for the ipsa! yayyay! i love weiwei!

rochester, or one north?

should we? should we not?

ms kiam...

kiam cai mia: (hokkien) literally means a life of the likes of salted vegetables; depicts one who is always very unfortunate.

and so it was, finally had a monday afternoon off to myself.. decided to head down to sunny sentosa for rest and relax. along the way, decided to stop by seah im food center for lunch too.. but of all days, the food center has to choose today to do washing!

and so it was, headed to vivocity for lunch instead..

who would have thought a sunny afternoon would have showers!? not for long though, if not i will be the real kiam cai there alrdy..oh tis root beer + ice cream thingy happens to be a freaking 9 bucks! $4.50 for the drink and $4.50 for that scoop of ice cream.. comes together with the usage of the deck chairs though..what a huge boat... wonder how many containers can it hold...

majesty

the other day, i went to chinatown for dinner. along the way, came across this hindu temple in construction. and i thought i was pretty majestic. but wait till i see this one. it even has an underground carpark!

talk abt majesty and the temple in the marketplace. i am looking forward to having CHC in the marketplace too! it's gonna be a sacrifice. but the glory will be far greater than that of the titanium building! ~

duchess, dukie and mitten!

btw, they planted themselves like that. ~meow~

the army of (dead) ants!

life and death...

sunday: was told by a fren to go donate blood. for his colleague's wife who happened to be giving birth and was suffering complications. wanted to go, but subconsciously i was actually glad that i was on medication. save me trouble of going the distance juz to find out that i am anaemic.

tuesday: colleague in the office talked abt her brother-in-law's sister having complications in childbirth. and she almost cannot make it alrdy. she was having twins. at that moment i didnt realise that it could be so serious. oh well, i thought juz a few injections, a few blood transfusions will do.

wednesday: news had it that a woman passed away cos of birth complications. the woman we talked abt on sunday and tuesday happened to be the same person.

many questions sped through my mind. "what if i had gone down for the blood donation on sunday?" "would it make any difference?" "what is going to happen to the twins?"

++++++++++
Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
++++++++++

10 things gladys hates...

1. The "HOW" question.
2. Washing... dishes, cars, etc..
3. People stepping on your slippers and not saying sorry.
4. Slippers snapping after those in #3 stepped on them.
5. Losing my things, anything from a piece of eraser to mobile phones.
6. Deprivation of sleep. God gives His beloved sleep.
7. Window shopping. It's a torture.
8. Sloppy attitudes. Be either hot or cold. Don't be lukewarm!
9. People who talk non-stop about themselves, all the time.
10. Waiting. ARgh. So dun be late.

on Live Earth...... a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100 music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global movement to solve the climate crisis.

i guess pple are more excited abt the singers and the songs than the message behind it more likely. but in any case, it was a pretty good try at creating awareness..


on food and more food...i kinda promised myself that i shall not touch crabs for the next 6 months, after that crabby galore.. but i kinda forgot abt it too.. esp with soft shell crab before my very eyes.. hehe..

sashimi and unagi is good! all time fav!

went from japanese to indian.. authentic indian food from serangoon road somemore. for a moment, there was this awkward silence as i figured out how to go abt eating. so this kind soul came along and explained, wat to eat first, followed by wat, blah blah blah. half the time i dun understand wat he was talking abt though.


on childhood stuffs...
nopes.. did not deliberately go to hunt for them.. happened to be at the bookstore when i caught sight of these pretty pillars.. wow, the extent shop owners go to captivate kids and adults alike..

(untitled)

i am sick. :(

hang out.

hmmz.. i'm into hanging out lately...

first at hongkong cafe.. den to starbucks.. once again, i missed the balance class at 6.40pm. but having attended combat earlier on, i felt a lil less guilty..

how nice it is to be sitting by the sidewalk of life, sipping nice warm tea, stopping to smell the flowers and watching activity and the hustle and bustle of life goes by..

while at starbucks, weiwei whipped out a seemingly old and faded polaroid of us. but of cos, it was less than a year old. well, tis was the best we could get the pic on softcopy. how fast people change!

**********

[feeling] a lil unwell. i'm sick of being sick!
on 2nd thoughts, it's kinda nice when someone delivers liang cha to the office juz for you. :)
[craving for] cheap and healthy food. obviously they dun go together.
[thinking of] CG. tis syndrome starts every thursday.

newton rulz.

nope, not the person, the food center.. haha!!

and so it was, we ended up at newton's circus food center for supper. the place was newly renovated and we haven't been there since it reopened.

tis was the hugest plate of char kway tiao i've ever seen! along with the usual supper delicacies such as the sambal stingray, oyster, carrot cake (both black and white), fried calamari, mutton soup, satay... i muz say i do feel a lil remorseful.. for all you noe, some 2 months of my gymming had gone to waste.. *booboo*

of cos, not only the food is nice, the fellowship is fun too. learned alot. from the lame jokes, to the cliche 'where-to-go-for-nice-food' kinda conversations, to the cheemz thought provoking, mind boggling discussions.

on our way back, we found pokpok a girlfriend! we must have looked silly laughing our heads off and trying to take a pic of the 2 cars! and weiwei had to go reverse pokpok and park beside the girlfriend juz so we can take the pic.. hehhe..

lesson learnt:

1. never eat supper in gargantuan proportions.
2. and if you do, pls go work it out at the gym. regardless of whether it is a 7am class or not. :p
   
3. never hang out too late at night with weiwei. kimmy and jan and mimi are ok. but NOT weiwei. it's too dangerous.
4. and if you cannot stop weiwei and her nonsense, JOIN her!

**********

on a side note, for all the ignoramus who are trying to figure out wat is One Half.. it's the exclusive party last friday at MOS.. and here's the invite. hehehe..

oh ya, and "transformers" is a very good show! watch it watch it! Freedom is the right of all sentient beings........
