Oh my gosh I spent half my weekend shopping but only got a pair of River Island jeans cause I either couldn't really decide if I really wanted to wear the other stuff I picked or I was put off by the longish Mambo Night like queues at the changing room or cashiers.

And then again I'm not even sure if I like the pair of RI jeans much enough to part with half of my pathetic army salary. But then again it's technically not really part of my army salary since I usually use up my salary within like 10 days of receiving it hmmmmmmm..... But I guess I was pressured by Q to get it cause he thought the other pair of Levi's jeans I wanted was too nice so he didn't want me to buy it and look so nice next to him.

Moving on to the other things I did this weekend, yesterday I went to chill at Corduroy Cafe at Vivocity.... It was awesome!!! It was nice having my usual afternoon ice blended caffiene dose in the comfort of the indoor aircon, while looking out at the not-that-great-but-still-decent-for-singapore view of the scorching bay under the hothothot afternoon sun... And I liked the pseudo-colonial decor of the place. The reason why I would describe it as pseudo-colonial is because it still retains a slightly modern touch... WHICH IS DAMN SEXY. You'd have to see it to know what I'm talking about. I'd definitely go down again some time soon, it's a great place to relax over the weekend.

In other news, we got the shock of our lifes today when all of a sudden at the end of the youth service Pastor said they were going to take photos of everyone cause most of the church was wearing the 40 DOC polo t-shirt and they chose to take the photo from the back of the hall where we were and we weren't wearing them because we didn't want to buy last week!!! It was quite GG, I feel so guilty for messing D's Church's big youth family photo up by wearing something that is strikingly different from everyone else and being right at the front! Hmmmm but I find the TTB t-shirt quite nice, I might buy it if they're still selling it next week.

OK.... Have a great last complete week of the chinese lunar calender people!

I'm so glad the week is almost over. It's been hard juggling my normal everyday duties while concurrently assisting my bosses in running a course throughout the week.

And I suck at multi-tasking, so I end up making stupid careless mistakes which take up more time to rectify and its like an endless cycle of new work coming in, taking my mind off what I'm currently working on and distracting me even more. I think it would help if I was a little more organised... I remember when I was a clerk in my previous unit I had this notebook to jot down all the little jobs that had to be done and I'd make sure they're all complete on time and track their progress with my little notebook. But even though I bought myself a notebook for this new job, I don't seem to be able to use it. I wonder why....

Anyways, I think the clothes in topman are really bad this season. Like most of the shirts resemble farmer's clothes. And also wearing topman stuff would mean that I would see 15 other people wearing the same thing when I go out, which pisses me off. And I can't seem to be able to find time to go down to the malls and troll through every shop properly at all. Shopping is damn troublesome.

mmmm very drama

bang bang.
that awful sound,
my baby shot me down.

i worked 12 hours today

i hate booking out at 8pm

i'm probably going to book out as late tomorrow

i saw philbert today, he might be a pilot soon

next week must end quickly

OH SHIT.

I'm so going to die over the next 3 days. I have to do like 5 intense days of work over the next 3, because of my stupid illness. And I'm already forfeiting 1 day of MC, which my doctor gave me for tomorrow but I know I cannot take or I would suffer in an even more excruciating manner on Thursday and Friday :(

And I hate my anti-biotics, they're so messed up. They cause gastric and they give me insomnia wtf!!!

But OK la, I spent my waking hours over the last 2 days reading about English History, especially that of the Tudor Dynasty and the House of Windsor. It was all very fascinating... I wish I could read more but I have to prepare for work and sleep early tonight. But at least now I know so many more members of the English Royalty and how their Monarchy has evolved to this day.

And it was also interesting to read about the history of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey. Like how the Unknown Warrior was selected, how it was given a grand burial ceremony in the Abbey, and that it was laid to rest in the same place as most of the English Monarchs and their Consorts. Oh and also that his tombstone is the only tombstone in the entire Abbey on which it is forbidden to walk. Reading all about it sort of makes one want to give up one's life for his Nation in a similarly selfless manner, to be accorded that amount of glory. So it kinda made me wonder if this was all a ruse to arouse feelings of nationalism and martyrdom in the UK. Haha, oh shit I'm being damn stupid.

But I found the words inscripted on the sides of his marble tombstone quite cool:

THE LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS
GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS
UNKNOWN AND YET WELL KNOWN, DYING AND BEHOLD WE LIVE
IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE

Don't we all feel like dying for our countries now?

Ok I need to go and sleep. Bloody hell, I can't wait for 2008 to be over.

I'm sick again :(

And its really a bad time to fall ill, there are so many things I need to do at work these 2 weeks! I can't believe I'm actually disappointed that I'm ill though, awhile ago I would have been happy to get a 3 day MC... I guess it's all a matter of integrity, I hate to inconvenience my colleagues.

un-connected events sorry

are you enjoying the first weekend of the new year?


I want to go to the national museum soon. I haven't been there since its makeover, and I heard its pretty nice now. Actually I liked it even before the renovation, it was a nice place to go and learn about random, interesting things. And I generally like colonial architecture, theres something about the grandeur and the richness of colonial buildings which makes them very appealing.

Last week I had breakfast with a friend at the Delifrance at Holland V. I've only been there once before that and I'm not really a Delifrance fan but I have to say there's a really a good reason why the cafe is so empty at Holland V... I don't know if this occurance is just an instance or if it's a wide-spread thing but the breakfast is just bad. I was served better pastry for breakfast on a damn airplane, the coffee was so strong it was like 6 shots of espresso poured into 1 coffee cup and then served, and the waffles were frighteningly similar to the instant waffles one can get from any supermarket. It was horrible. When I went to the same Delifrance for breakfast almost 3 years ago before the first Chem SPA of my A levels it wasn't so bad! In fact I think I enjoyed it. I wonder what happened.... But I hope what happened to me was more of an exception than a norm la.. Maybe the chef was having a bad day or something. Haha

I like Guiness draught. Cheers

No! You're not at the wrong blog...


I've changed my template! I made the font size larger so that its easier to read now and the background isn't so black anymore so its not such a bleak affair reading this blog. But of course, that is not to say I intended my old background to be emo la, it was more like a lack of effort on my part to find a nice template.. Oh and not to mention that old background was quite bengish because the person who designed that template and put it on the blog template site was an Ah Lian. So I'm quite pleased that this site no longer looks like some Ah Beng Diary. But its all well now, except maybe this blog looks too bright now and it might take a little bit of getting used to.

Anyway, Happy New Year to everybody!
I hope 2008 pasts really quickly, then I can ORD and get on with my life.. And I achieved my New Year Resolution 20 hours after making it, how stupid. Now I have to think of a new goal to work towards for the rest of the year....

And now, its time to brace myself for yet another year of shit before I'm free again!
