But its the day after.
I forget things easily.
Oh.
The weekend passed with a tiny spot of a dot of an annoying feeling.
(ok, that didnt quite make sense -a tiny spot of a dot-, but this is my mood now)
--- .long break. pheli calls from down under ---
long long break.. over 2hrz. heh.
where was I... ah, weekend - of little sleep.
--- i am reminded of Desperate Housewives. Sayonara for now. ---
and am back in 5 mins. My uncle is watching channel U. :/
Distractions. Tsk tsk.
Saturday was a long day.
I had work. That was the 6th-day of work. I promised them I'd go fulltime for the first 2 weeks so we can catch-up with the piling workload. Love the environment. I've got a flexi time- data entry - that pays $7.50/hr. :D And my colleagues are a riot! one of them being my sister, and thus it is understandable why. We're a funny bunch when together. *chuckle*
from the incessent lame jokes; Kitty club because of the hello kitty magnets you get for every $5 spent @7-11. our "snack bar" is filled with that..; the labeling of nicknames to various doctors, and one in particular - ZERO SIX - Thats his code. He drives us data entry staff up the wall with his "You know you are not a doctor if your handwriting is not messy right. so you will understand why when you see mine. If its neat, you better alert the authorities coz that wld probably be an imposter!" he says to us on the 1st day; and my breakfast at home to morning tea, to lunch, to aftn tea.. and then some.. :D
As usual, didnt get slp that friday night, and was running on 3 hrz of sleep or there abts. Went with SF to her Salsa class with Luth and Adeline.. Fell straight to slp on the bench at the studio. that was for an hour.
Hopped over to NYDC at Heeren. DID YOU KNOW THEY HAVE FREE WIRELESS SURFING? - i didnt, until ade told me. So had a late lunch and downloaded some school stuff - YES SCHOOOOOLLL STUFF. and rushed to YMCA for class.
Obviously, i was stoned out.
class ended. hopped in for a ride to Esplanade with JY and SF. Met deb or dinner... couldnt meet boon for dancing at the underpass/ nor did we make it to poncho's live latin concert.. :/ but i did get to watch an EXCELLENT show!
- Closer -
Seemingly simple. It deals with alot of everyday underlying issues that everyday pple, you and me, grapple with, but the gist of it..
Taglines:
If you believe in love at first sight, you never stop looking.
If you believe in love at first sight... Take a closer look.
Those who love at first sight are traitors at every glance. (Italy)
Natalie Portman is a scream. *shakes head* If i'm going to idolize anyone, it'll probably be her.
did i mention i've been listening to "the blower's daughter" on repeat.
And then some Live Music at Harry's Esplanade. Pleasantly surprised to meet Wen there. Deb and I had a drink, and headed to Kaki5.
sheesha AGAIN
Aloy and Ivan (new dude.. back for holiday, from pilot training under SIA) were there already. and we entertained ourselves with a game deb and I were at the day before - Word associations. Along came Jason, buzzed and such. and we just played on.
Ivan is just too good at connering people - Good imagination.
I cannot take it. Out for 19 hours straight.
I decline supper. My sleep lasted all of 3 hours, again.
WET MARKET ADVENTURE @7am on sunday.
well. just for snazzy tagline.. it wasnt really an adventure at all. I go with mum once in a while.
YES, I DO GROCERY SHOPPING... you dopes who are thinkin i'm too "qian jing xiao jie" to do anything. .. Just coz i let you talk yourself into believing i'm tai-tai material, doesnt mean i am "tai-tai", and dont know such stuff. AND YES I CAN COOK.. some things. *heh*
We went back to this market we used to frequent when i was all of 3 years till 12years old (when we moved to the current place in seletar). Nostalgia hit me in torrential waves this time. Usually isnt this bad.
We went back to the same stalls that we patronized all those years ago. Each vaguely familiar personality, an air of refinement, of age, of their daily lives after these years.. that have moulded their features, with smile lines, and frowns no doubts..
I wondered if they remember me. That lil twerpy kid with her mum - contorting her face passing by the dry-foods stall with the strong stench, or staring wide-eyed at chopped up pigs, those poor things! (this dear lil girl's born during the chinese cycle yr of the pig.. and thusly was a lil horrified back then. Now, most of you know her as one self-confessed pig), or biting her lip when choosing the 15-20eggs that wld last the family the week thru, standing by the side at the fishy area.. where it was wet and slimy and slippery - but always making eyes at the fishballs! or getting some of those chinese cakes/ tidbits from this petite Auntie, or selecting her pick of vege dishes for the week... taking a snack round the corner at the hawker centre..... that was Back then.
It was dejavu. Except that.. am taller than mum, and I kept quiet more. Answering when spoken to - I SPOKE TEOCHEW OK! *chuckle* can't help but think - so "kimgek" - Lady like - something SCGS always advocated. *haaa* i was in the shorts and teeshirt i woke up in.. well, kinda.
those were the days. and i will re-live them, this sunday, when i go grocery shopping, with the maid. Mum wld still be out of town. I figure, this time - It wld be different. why? --
--> SURE KENNA KATOH ("cheated" by the stallholders) LA!
ROLLERBLADING
so running on 3 hrz of slp from sat to sunday's transistion... I am home aft the market shopping. I change to appropriate attire for rollerblading. For those who dont know already, my brother, CL, has tuition on every sunday 10-12pm. I usually take that time to rollerblade at ECP.
Morning SUN = nice tan // and its not so crowded.
so i take the wheel again. falling aslp. (whaddaya expect, not much slp over the week)
but blading this week was good. Intention again next week. interested? 10-12pm Sundays :)
Home for lunch
Flop dead aslp on the floor aft lunch. an hour and a half nap. Wake up groggy, as it has been so for the past week...
head to airport - Mum to KL for 10days ie i get the car for 10days. i get to drive to work, pay the $3.50 daily ERP toll, and the exorbitant parking at SGH of $1.22/hour.. and be ahmad to siblings. :/ but there are perks, or so i think.. *sigh sigh*
very filling dinenr at Soup Restaurant with mum and sf. and then home - and was very very annoyed on the way back. URGH. picked cl up from church, and then desert at hougang point to cool off.
got home to a 45min nap. showered and headed to Harry's where we planned to meet up and chill.. the usual jazz bunch. *ponders* We've got to get more girls integrated to the grp.. *end ponder*
Supper at bedok85. yummy bakchor kuayteow, and orh-luah = minced meat flat rice noodles and oyster egg omelette.
and then home. and then my next 3 hrz of slp to monday blues.
---
Tis the end of monday. 2325. LONG BLOG! :)
I wonder if its going to be standard 3hr nap every night. If so, i'm gonna get not only dry skin fromt he frigid SNEC, tagged "Senior Scientist // Room 06-02".. i'm gonna have swollen panda eyes.
but i am bored now. we'll see... ... .. .. . .
