Guys and MCP

Yesterday, I painted Alboy fingernails. They are now glossy. The mark of a metrosexual man, I like.

How many guys will actually allow a girl to paint their fingernails? I swear that Alboy would even allow me to paint his nails pink. He thinks its no big deal.

Guys are strange really. They all have a tinge of MCPness in them, regardless whether they allow you to paint their nails. Take Alboy for instance, paint his nails I can, but I never get to drive his car. Guys who let you drive their car will not let you paint their nails. I hate it most when some guys think they are always correct, or want to have the last word in a conversation.

A long time ago, a guy that I was dating would call me regularly. We talked till there was nothing in common to talk about. In hindsight, we did not share similar taste and our interests somewhat differs. The conversation always landed up like this - Someone would pick a category, say fruits, and we would each take turns to list whatever that's in the category.

It always goes like this.
Me : "Apple"
Him: "Orange"
Me: "Pear"
Him: "Mango"
...

You get the drift. It was senseless. Very dumb. He would not give up, and neither would I. I hated to be the losing one because I cannot stand fuelling his MCP. Usually, we go on and on. It made it even dumber that it usually was an overseas call. He was paying for the call so I didn't gripe about it too much. Needless to say, we eventually broke up and I have not spoken to him since. No point, really.

Sometimes I wonder if its the testosterone at fault for their MCPs. It is a fact that girls are attracted to the testosterone. We will not like a sissy guy. We lament that MCP guys piss us off but I think a tinge of MCP in guys make them sexy. What I hate most are empty vessels making the most noise. Some guys talk like they know it all, but they really are full of crap. I hate guys who talk to you for a motive too. I have had conversations with guys who later whipped a condom out of their wallets.

Again I quote from Zee and Justin, two 25 yr old hot blooded males
- " All guys are potential rapist"
- " All guys are bastard"

- "All guys watch porn" This came from me.

Watched Star Wars

Watched Star Wars today and had a free meal.

Star Wars was too much hype. Tons of special effect and it mainly was to conclude the saga. George Lucas had us all nicely twirled around his little finger.

Free meal at this fish place which looked a lot like Fish and Co at 5th floor at PS. Gosh, I can't even remember the name of the place. Its right by the escalator. We walked in delighted that some eating place was still serving at 10.30pm. I asked when the last order was and the manager chirpily replied, "oh, we area not open yet". He then led us to our seats and told us that the food is free and we can order all that we like. It was kind of unbelievable. It felt strange at first, as if they will poison our food but I was way too hungry to really care. So, I ordered my fish and ate it. Its really like fish and co. However, because the meal was free, I feel obliged to do a little publicity for them. Go try them. 5th floor PS, right by the escalator, next to Kopitiam.

Need to go eat icecream now.

Should I go Zouk tomorrow?

ML has invited me but it seems like I might not be able to make it despite having no plans.
I am terrible at making tons of excuses, but they are in some way valid.

I need to swim after work. I swim every work day. Almost. At least 4 times a week. I skipped Monday because I went to the Tangs sale which I bought only one green top which i cannot wear because I need to alter the straps first. This means I have to swim tomorrow. Have have Have. Yes, I am that compulsive.

I had planned to cut my hair after that, which is dumb because this would mean I would have to get my hair washed 3 times within 3 hours. First at the pool, then at the hair dresser, than at home to wash off the rubbish they always have to apply on the hair after they cut it. This would also mean that by time I cut my hair, it would be at least 9pm., which makes me too late to meet ML at Zouk.

Complicated siah.

It gets more complicated. I would have to look reasonably fashionable to step into Zouk. This is impossible if I go directly from work. I would never make it in time even if I skip my swim and haircut.

Anyhow I hate the smoke enough to give Zouk a pass.

I like this song

Damnit, I am blogging at work.
Has not been a good day. No one seems to be talking to anyone else. I guess everyone is tired out waiting for the freaking long weekend to arrive.
Thats the woes of being a silly Corporate rat. You be stuck at it for the next 40 years. The though of it totally petrifies me.
So bloody irritated. I didn't sleep well. Try sleeping when some over-ambitious person tries to wake up too early and as a result, snoozes for one whole hour. Its impossible to sleep when the stupid phone beeps every five minute. I am the kind of person who will meticulously calculate the time I should wake up and sleep till the very last second. Its frustrating.
I need more entertainment. Seem to be stuck in a mindless events of things.
I heard this song on radio, it summarizes the whole Star Wars series into 5 minutes. Its to the tune of .."my my oh american pie...."
Someone please tell me what song is it. Nm, I goggled and found it. Love this song.

A long long time ago
in a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...
Oh my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I know who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said, "Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy"
He was singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy
And I was singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi

Hungry

9.30pm Friday night and I am blogging. I was meant to be out!

My stomach is so queasy, it has been the whole week in fact. Eating too little at lunch did me in. I had been eating free food that was meant for the customers at my office. It used to be enough but there was a sudden surge of people recently. As a result, I eat not enough. I do not eat a proper lunch after that because it would make me overly bloated.

I still have zero food in my stomach now. Its feels miserable.
I told my parents not to buy my dinner thinking I would be out of the house eating dinner by now.
Alboy flew my aeroplane so now here I am starving. It was expected, but I didn't think it would happen. If you get what I mean. Its hard to think when your blood sugar level is low.

*grits teeth* needs to go find ice cream to eat.

Yeah. Yeah Yeah

Ok, this is going to be short and fast because I am darn tired. I was going to procrastinate it yet again but decided otherwise.
I have so many things I want to blog about!! I am like a boiling cauldron of hot soup!!

Like how I spent 2 hours on the bus on Saturday Night. I almost suffocated to death in the bus. I hate it when bus drivers deliberately driver slow, it makes the bus jerk. Oh btw, the trip was from YCK to Jurong. So no fun.

I also wanted to complain on how I spent another 2 hours locked inside Nokia care center to get my phone repaired. The service is terrible. The customer service reps were all bengs and lians or had a very agonizing look on their face. I had 2 whole hours to scrutinise everyone of them. Will elaborate more when I do not feel like I need to go sleep.

Eating so much Dim Sum on Sunday was worth a mention too but it will pass.

I just wanted to say that I am so happy today. Remember very little makes me happy.
I met up with Yumin, Justin and Desmond. It was great! We had dinner at Scotts. Nice and cheap.
We had a very healthy conversation going at dinner too. We bitched about plenty of things but the conclusion was

I quote

"All guys are potential rapists" - Justin, 24, Full-blooded male
"All guys are bastards. All girls should be wary" - Desmond, 24, yet another full blooded male.

Guys, you finally made some sense after all these years. What took you so long?

I am so very happy because all three of them though that I grew taller. Ain't that the best thing in the world? I am thoroughly convinced my heels were not that high. I need to go take my height. For some strange reason, they also thought that I applied lipstick. GJ passed the same comment too when he met me. I'm sure my lips are not all that kissable right. Ahhaaaaa.

So happy. I realized that I talk to Alboy only 10 mins a day, and much of it is dead air and sound fillers but I don't really care. I should really meet up with my friends more.

Its a warm day

I have so many things to blog, so many thoughts to verbalize but I either am too tired or get too lazy.

It was a good day today, I didn't go to the office but was instead horsing around at a tradeshow. My feet ache from standing 8 hours today but change from routine work is good.

I found that I really like fish soup. My mum makes the most wonderful fish soup. I have been having fish soup like 3/4 times a week. Its fantastic, totally healthy and absolutely wonderful. I consider myself healthy. I have fish like 4 times a week, a lot of fish each time too. Its all nicely boiled. I swim like 4 times a week. I also eat ice cream everynight. How lovely is that. *hugs myself*

I had wanted to complain about guys like GJ after reading his post. No offence dude. I just do not understand how guys expect so much out of a girl. He already has a mould of her and all the other girls simply pale in comparison. Its so sickening. If it were Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise blogging, I might be more understanding. They are gorgeous but come on, most guys are so damn fudgy. Its a different story if you are rich or have a penthouse the size of Remy Shaw's. If you the average plain joe, please go smack urself on the wall.

I bought tickets to StarWars. Its not premiering till 19th May but I bought tickets at midnight on the 1st of May. There wasn't even a queue. I was expecting people all dressed like darth vader or clutching light sabers snaking a Q. But it was so quiet. The force is weak. I was first at the box office when the lady went , "Our first show is on 19th May 11am, 2 tickets?" I was like ,"hmmm...no, 2 tickets for 21st May 7pm instead"
She must have thought that I escaped from woodbridge.

Its sweltering hot these days. MM Lee, please aircondition the whole of Sg. So warm so warm.

2 more days to weekend.

12 more days to the next p.hol. All hang on in.

Met GJ today.

So, I met GJ today.

He took a photo of me and is going to put on his blog, except that he is playing mj now and will only be able to blog tomorrow.
He promised to black my face out.

A few other things I learnt about him
-he likes girls in tank tops, preferably in white.
- colors like baby blue is fine too
- it would really turn him on if the girl is wearing a sweet green bra beneath
- his new car has a new leather + chocolate muffin smell.

In short, he wants a shu nu. No wonder he spends so much on his insurance. His agent is quite chio, considering she is already 30.

We had double filet o fish for dinner. GJ = Mac. I still think he eats mac all the time. He picked me up from my office, but couldn't find my office building. He landed up driving against traffic. He actually made a wrong turn and turned onto oncoming traffic. I was stumbled for a while when he told me over the phone where he was. In my mind, I was trying to figure out where he was.

I saw some shoes at JP. They were really really cheap. About $10 and they were quite decent. I would have bought if I were alone or if GJ edged me. I am not that kind of shopper who looks at things and buys. I look at them, and if I like it I put it back on the shelve too. I only buy when I really need it, or when someone encourages me too. I will go there soon to take a second look. Talking about shoes, I found out something about Charles & Keith, I am not going to post it here because I do not want the whole world to know what I know and do things the way I do. Miss Leow knows about it though.

Wedding invites

Fuckanthan, I opened my email so that I can click on 'compose new message' to blog.
Compose new message gives me a clean slate to blog and I can do a spell check before I cut n paste on blogger. Word messes up the alignment too much.

And, guess what I saw?? A wedding invite. Damn it, yet another red bomb. *Grits teeth*

Gone are the days when you receive an invite by snail mail and RSVP. The recent weddings I been invited to, I have been asked to confirm via email or sms, before they actually send me the invite. Its like huh? Save the trees project is it?

Anyhow, back to the original blog topic I had in mind, which incidentally is also about getting married.

My malay colleague today announced that her bf asked for her hand but she rejected. She loves the guy. She adores the guy, they speak to each other and behave like a newly attached couple. They have been going strong for years and she told me she rejected his proposal because she is not ready. However, she agreed to marry him in two years time and they have made a pact to start saving money.

I asked her, so how much money do you need to have before you marry. She told me they will save 500 a month and when they have 12000 they will get married. I was flabbergasted.

How is 12000 enough to get married? Where would you stay? You would have nothing in your house.

TV - $3000 Its probably a not too big tv.
Washing Machine - $1000? I have no idea how much a washing machine cost.
Sofa - $2000 2Grand will probably get you a low end sofa I think. Again I am not very good at how much these things cost.
Bed - $1000 A good bed is important. V Important
Refrigerator - $1000 Man, I am so bad at estimating prices of household appliances.

Hey, there is still 3k left. Did I miss out anything. Maybe 12k is enough for them to get married. If all else fails, there is always Courts.

I do feel very happy for her though. She was grinning from ear to ear when she related everything to me. I really felt very happy for her. For some strange reason, I was grinning from ear to ear too for a while after that.

Everything else doesn't really matter right, you just have to be happy.

ICQ rules, MSN sucks

You know what, I hate msn and yet I switch on my msn to find people to chat

Whats wrong with me? and What's wrong with the rest of the world for preferring msn over icq?
ICQ rules. MSN sucks.

In MSN, the stupid orange blinking thing appears at my taskbar and I have no control over it. Don't tell me its in the setting, I plough through it and cannot find a way to switch it off. It irritates the hell of me.

ICQ allows you to go invisible and chat with the whoever you please. In MSN, once you appear offline, you cannot chat. Don't tell me to block people blar blar, this would mean that if I want to use msn at home, I have to block out my whole office. Duh. Msn is legal in my office and the only reason why I use it, or even start to have contacts.

I hate the display pics in msn. I hate it when people put pictures of their children or cats in it. It is why I always switch the pictures off. But I do want to see the other nicer pictures, so switching it on and off is a hassle for me. I totally hate it when my colleague at work puts pics of her children, for goodness sake, her children are damn ugly and not the least bit cute. Children under 2 yrs of age are in general in some way cute, but hers are not. I squirm everytime she msgs me. I have since switched off the display pictures at work permanently. I know I am being slight mean in saying that her children are not cute, but trust me, that's how I feel.

I hate the way msn has nudges winks blar blar. Its like duh..for what. Needless to say, I switched off that function too.

I hate the way msn allows you to change your name. Hello, its like I have to remember everyone's email address to know who they are?

In ICQ, you can select a few files, do a right click and send via ICQ, in msn you are forced to send a file at a time. Dumb.

I like the layout of ICQ so much better. Much better.

Hate msn. Quit msn and install ICQ.

Xing Fu.

I am the happiest girl alive now!

I bought new goggles plus a swim cap. I am so happy!
I had crabs and prawns for dinner too. In my younger cousin's words, I feel so xing fu now. *does cartwheels around my room*

Its amazing how little makes me darn happy. I love my new goggles. My old goggles are perfectly fine except that they are day goggles. I used to swim in sunlight then. Its those goggles with shiny film that keeps that glare out, those that allow you to ogle at guys without them knowing you are looking. My new goggles are clear, so clear you can see my eyes. Its for swimming after sunset which I do these days. With my old goggles, I could barely see anything. So happy. Bought a new swim cap too. So happy.

Crabs and prawns. I am not exactly a crab fan but I ate like one whole crab by myself. It was fun. The buttery prawns were heavenly too. Was at Melben Seafood at Blk 232 AMK St22. Go there instead of Jumbo, its cheaper.

You know what the best part is, my dad paid for my goggles and swim cap. Yeah. Now, staying home on Saturday does have it perks.

Home on a Saturday

I feel extremely guai today.

Its a Saturday and I am not going out but going to join my parents for dinner. Its been eon since I did that.
I packed my wardrobe and room too. Actually all I did was to rearrange the clothes and throw away the stuff that cluttered my table. I have no idea how all this stuff came to me. I seldom buy anything.

My mum just bought 2 zen micros for my siblings. She asked if I wanted one too but I declined. Citibank was having this close door sale at Creative and I had to disappear from work 2 times within 2 hours to go swipe my card. I fiddled with it later and found that I kinda liked it.
Buy creative, forget about the fruit. Support local. After all, the fruit already has about 60% of market share. We bought 2 speakers too, the 3600 , it was going at 99. I think the retail price is almost 250. Dung took one and I have no idea where the one in my house is.

Anyone wants anything from creative next time, just ask me. All I have to do is to disappear from work and walk over. Don't expect me to queue up though. Talking about queue, I was surprised to see a queue at the doors at 11am. It opens at 11am. I went at 11am sharp thinking I would be the first one there, but there was already like 30 people ahead of me. Apparently, there were only a limited number of speakers going at 99. How do people get off work at 11am to join a q? I am sure not all of them work near Creative.

Blogging at 4pm on a Saturaday. Man, I do need to find a life.

My msns at work.

I must say that I have been having very sexual conversations with my friends on msn while at work.

The first was with GJ.

Excerpt from his post
Me: SAF give free condom for my Taiwan trip....
Cindy: Issit? I heard its lousy, it breaks when filled with water...
Me: Issit? I dunno...
Cindy: Why dun you try it?
Me: Wif who?
Cindy: Ask you to fill it with water lah!!! Not use for sex!!!!
Me: ...

Do a replace all "Me" with "GJ"
He has a photo of his condoms there too. Some obsure brand I never knew.

The conversation proceeded on to along the likes of GJ thinking he has a little dick but good techniques. He refused to tell me what he meant by little dick and good techniques though. Does dick size matters? As SPG adeptly puts it, "I have never seen a 2.4 inch dildo"

Fastforward to chat with Al today. The chat resulted in him sending me his Karma Sutra over. All 8Mb of it.

He asked me, "What is it that a woman wants"

"To cum and cum and cum and cum, without having to do any work on the guy." - my reply.

He must have fallen off his chair then because it took him like 10 mins to reply back. It was the most straightforward answer he heard.

I always think that a guy only does what he does so that he can peak. I know there will be plenty of rebuttals but if you think again, its essentially true. How many guys will time and time again go down on a girl without wanting any sexual favours in return?

Al thinks its a two way street. I agree but I do know more horny guys than girls. In fact, all the guys I know are horny with the exception of one. Long story about that lone one.

Anyway, sex is too cheem a topic to discuss about. I will just land up going around in circles. I can feel it coming. Will stop now.

> Dancingpris - will try to take a photo of it. I just wore it so its somewhere aroudn now. My bro thought I was attending a malay wedding when he saw me go out. My mum exclaimed , ' wah..why you were ah pu nei clothes". Dung says its ok because he is peranakan. I think I might not wear it to a wedding afterall, but just to plays and musicals.

Back in my country!

Yeah, so I am back in Sg. I love my country.

Hanoi on the whole was alright really. Minus that resident mosquito that made sleep so uncomfortable. The stupidest thing was that we only found the mosquito net on our last night there and really only had one good night's sleep. Why would pampered Singaporeans expect to use a mosquito net? It is the first time in my life I slept in a mossy net. Strange experience.

I have a slightly aching right arm now. That is after having to lug two laptops and many other equipment up and down three stories everyday. Yes, the hotel had no lift. It is a family run business really. They were so concerned about saving money that they switched off the mains to the water heater when we were gone one day, resulting in us bathing in icy cold water. When I say icy cold water, I mean ICE COLD water. Its not that cold water you get at public showers, its really ICE COLD. Considering the ambient temperature was like 20 degrees, the water was freezing at night. It took me 5 mins to creep into the shower, 2 mins to shower and get out. I didn't feel very clean after that though.

Besides that, Hanoi is really not bad place. Things are not as cheap as in Bangkok though. The people in Hanoi adopt a very different attitude towards bargaining, in BKK, they entertain you and want to sell you when you bargain. In Hanoi, they simply take the item back from you and hang it back up in the display.

Managed to tour around Hanoi a little, not as much as I wanted to because we had to work too.
Its a good place for a budget trip really. My Tiger Airway tickets were just about $150, minus the USD18 airport tax. I almost had no more money to pay for the tax and could not get out of Hanoi. Luckily, I still had SGD50 with me and had to exchange it to Dong.

Tiger Airways is not too bad too, when it is less than half full that is. The flight was so empty, one could just lie flat on three seats.
I cannot imagine how it will be like when its packed.

That's it for now. Am going to watch Sound of Music later.

I think I will wear my modified Ao Dai there. Ao Dai is the traditional Vietnamese dress, long blouse with pants. I tailored made 3 dresses but no one wears long blouse in sg, so I made them into tubes. Hahhah, the tailor gave me this dirty look when I gestured to her I wanted tubes.

With love from Hanoi

Blogging from hanoi now.

Hanoi is not as rustic and as old as you see in postcards, televion etc. Its like sg in the 70s.
The roads are just swarmed with so many motobikes, they look like swarms of bees. The motobikes horn relentlessly, and they ride on either side of the road, regardless of road direction.

To cross the road, you have to behave like a chicken. Just say a quick prayer and dash across the road. Good thing is, humans and bikes seem to command the same amount of authority on the roads. The motobikes just weave around you. For someone as urban as me, it can get a tad bit scary. However, I am proud to say that I have mastered the skill of being an errant roadcrosser.

Things here are not as cheap as they should be. Somone tried to sell me the pirated copy of life of pi for USD8. I told him I can get the original copy for SGD5 back home. He followed me down the 2 streets and offered USD2 in the end. I didn't buy because by then I was getting too afraid of him and just want to go away. I belived I could have bought it for USD1 if I persisted.

You can never miss a Singaporean by the way he/she drives a hard bargain. The moment I start bargaining, they go , "from singapore?"

I tailored made 3 dresses, going to collect them tomorrow. I hope they turn out fine and will last me through all the weddings I have to go to this year.

So far so good here, its really too dusty. I broke up in mini-hives. Thankfully, I bought Zyrtec and it has been working fine.

Tradeshow is starting tomorrow, have to stand the whole day and try to speak to the Vietnamese. Talking to them is like a chicken talking to a duck. Its terrible.

I miss sg. I so want to be back.

The price of water.

I love to swim and I am in a dilemma.

When I was young, I swam at my dad's company club. I go there to swim everyweek. Years later, the company was not doing well and they sold the place. A church bought it over and uses its facilities now. I do not like the church. It robbed me of my swimming place.

It didn't really matter that much then because I was swimming in the varsity pool then. I went every other day and swam my hearts out.

When I started working, I went back to swim. No one stopped me because no one checked my matriculation card. Then, Sars swept the whole country and contact tracing became the necessary. I could no longer enter the pool because my matric card shows that I have graduated.

I have resorted going to public pools then. I hate the public pool. It is dirty, smelly, slimy and salty. The toilets have a permanent urea smell too.

There is a pool near my office. It is 3/4 the length of the Olympic size pool. I have refused to swim in pools of any other length besides the standard 50m, it makes doing laps much more fulfilling. It is also empty, clean and has nice toilets. The only catch is that it will cost me $388 for a year usage. Solely pool usage, gym facilities are not included. I was tempted since the first day I started work 2 years ago but I threw it out of my mind as it was pricey.

Two years on, I simply cannot stand public pools and am growing fat. However, I still find it expensive just that I am more willing to fork out the money.

I am in a dilemma.

Everyone tells me its expensive water. Some tells me that I should not look at it this way because lifestyle cannot be measured by money. Others tell me its about the same price as a musical ticket that I pay. Most tell me its expensive.

I am willing to pay $200 for half a year usage because I do not want to commit so much money, but the gym is unwilling to compromise.

Sigh.

How?

I know people will tell me the standard things - "Its expensive". I feel that too, but I really love swimming.

How?

My weekend

I had a relatively good weekend.

I went had a fabulous seafood dinner on Friday. I ate like 5 crab pincers and a whole lot of other stuff. It was fatanbulous. I went Indochine afterwards. It was my first time there. I always dissed the place as tacky because of the nemo layout and how people seem to be crowding outsider leeching free music.

So, I went into Indochine. There was really nothing there except that the washareas in the toilet were unique. There is no sink. You step on this black rubber dot on the floor to turn the water on, the water then flows onto this slopping piece of plastic and is drained away. Cool. Besides that, Indochine is so not happening. It didn't help that I was in my work clothes aka scrappy jeans and T-shirt. To wear a T-shirt to a club is a felony.

I also managed to go to a wedding, both church and lunch and watch 2 movies this weekend!.
It was simply great. Although once again, I wished I did not have to go to work tomorrow.

So long.

Good Friday Weekend

So, I'm into my third day of the long weekend. Time flies doesn't it.

I had a great Friday followed by an uneventful Saturday, and am now dreading the coming work week. There are no p.hols in April!!!

Things I did the past two days.

- I watched 2 movies in less than 24hrs. I am so proud of myself. It is something I have not done since my teeny bopper days. These days, I somewhat prefer watching a dvd on a cosy bed than with 300 strangers. Plus point, as in my earlier post, it is possible to hump while watching a dvd, but that totally misses the point.

- I got nauseous while playing xbox. I seriously suck at xbox games. Was playing Starwars: Knights of the old Republic, all that maneuvering with the light saber while trying to navigate made me feel like puking. I hate 3-D games. Why can't all games be simple like super Mario or bubble puzzle. You only need a joystick for direction and another button to fire. These days, there are 2 joysticks on the controller and a million other buttons. Please, my hand is only that big. But I resolve to get better at these games. I love racing games though.

- I slept the whole of Saturday and still have dark eye bags. I seriously wonder why.

- I ate half a tub of Phish Food. I love Phish Food. I like the strawberry with graham swirls too. I believe its called Primary Berry Graham. I love their new flavours.

- I finally used another $20 of my Robinson vouchers. I had $50 to start with, I sold $20 to a colleague. My stuff cost $16 and I paid with my $20 voucher. They actually refunded the difference to me in cash. So happy. Another $10 to go. I hate Robinson vouchers. It is so out of the way and there is absolutely nothing to buy there. Too bad, my frumpy office manager loves Robinson and as a result, all of us gets Robinson vouchers on our birthdays.

- I finally used $10 of my Metro voucher. Metro vouchers have no expiry dates, you just use and they print another voucher with the difference to you. Its like a stored value card. The voucher has been with me so long, I do not even remembered how I got it. The last time I used it was like a year ago. I have another $5 left.

In short, I am quite happy this weekend. My only grouse is that it has to end and I can feel myself being sucked back into the whirlwind of work.
