The problem with girls is that sometimes they can be so sensitive. I've always thot that girls would talk about it when they are upset, but was surprised that sometimes they just keep quiet and hope that the other person would understand...this I thot would be what they do to guys...and the poor unsuspecting guy would be so obtused and not know that he has touched a raw nerve...
But between an obtused guy or a guy who is so sensitive...one who feels like a girlfriend...with all the insecurities of a girl...that feels weird too...
Which would u prefer? I think I belong to the camp where guys should be guys and girls should still be girls...
Went in search of Handsome Strawberries... and we found it @ Corduroy and Fitch on 6th Avenue (779 Bukit Timah Road)...aren't they cute? The creme brulee was good too ...it's not too sweet and without the glazed sugar on top....
Corduroy & Fitch's mantra:
"To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art..."
Showing off some of my LOMO pictures! :P More @ www.lomohomes.com/hwei2
I still remember the time when i was fresh out of school and in my first job as a receptionist...and being told that "I'm not your friend, I'm juz a colleague"...and trust me, she meant it....
I guess this experience stuck with me... or perhaps, it is my nature of self-protection...hence I've always treated colleagues as just work-mates...
Luckily, I've always met sincere and wonderful people @ work...people who were willing to be friends with me and break down my defences ...whether it is P, who has since moved to Perth, or SH...who never misses to give me a treat with each promotion or even, SC, SL, K etc from PW.
@ this new job, probably due to the fact that work is nothing interesting, or because I have quite fascinating lunch kakis...lunch time is really the highlight of the day...hence, although I am glad for D that he is saved from his misery...I still feel that lunch time won't be the same anymore, without his mesmerizing smile...and his deep laughter...
Although he seems like someone who cannot settle down...and continues to reflect such traits in psychological tests...I must say that he is at least more faithful than me...:P having stayed more than 6 years in his previous job...I'm not sure whether it is because I have not found the RIGHT job yet, or that I'm naturally fickle...but the longest that I've stayed so far in a job was just a little over 3 years...
Anyway, it's great that we shared some fun times...(CS&D r the only guys i know who like to take photos of themselves) and Here's wishing U all the best in your future job...
M asked me whether there is anything that I felt proud to have done in my 30 years....I thought for awhile and told her that I think was my lone trip to Sydney in 2000. Going to a faraway land myself, to visit a friend that my parents disapprove of, on an airline with a bad safety record...
Since then, 7 years have past...and i can't think of any other such "maverick" achievements...I look @ the pictures taken then, and wonder why there are no more of such peaks in my life...
Guess it should be about time to create more climax in my otherwise mudane life...hmmm...I wonder whether this person whom others describe as a "want to, but don't dare to do" person can set out to do something 轰轰烈烈 !
Quite touched by the well wishes, gifts and meals with friends this month...it's nice to have friends by my side while i herald in the Big 30...at least it was a far cry from the depression that I fell into the same period last year...perhaps, I am really getting wiser! :P
Thanks also for the fireworks yesterday..and hopefully the fireworks today...they appear in the dark sky and bring joy to all who see them...even if it is for a short period of time...I definitely enjoyed the fireworks and my dear friends who indulge me by jostling in the fireworks-crazed crowd with me...Sorry lah...I don't know why I suddenly have such an interest in seeing them since last year... :P
Had a great dinner with M yesterday at Ricotti @ Riverside Walk...great place...managed to catch the fireworks action, albeit abit blocked...M always complain that for her birthday, we always have a quick celebration, while for my birthday, we always do something more special...what to do? She is better at planning such things for me, while I pale in comparision to her good event-planner skills... "P
To walk off the dinner abit, we walked towards the Asian Civilisation Museum and free-loaded on the music from the nearby restaurant / pubs...it's peaceful to enjoy the Singapore River, the bum-boats...on a Friday evening, with an old friend...we slowly walked towards Fullerton One...where it was more windy and we settled @ Starbucks for a quick drink b4 catching the last train home...
This year, I received 3 gifts...a casio watch, a lomo, and a pair of jade earrings...what's a lomo?..here is a picture of my lomo...a fun camera...
Thanks, PG for being the first one to wish me Happy Birthday...ahead of M, who was just beside me... :P and also to SL, who happened to sms me accidentially...also to D and L (in chronological order) :P
Although i haven't heard of this person before and neither have I been very much interested in history...but somehow, I decided to go and watch this play ....After watching, I still do not feel for this guy or his causes, but I definitely have a better understanding of this guy known as Lee Dah Soh...
Something the actors said struck a cord in me...why should the government control the language that their people speak?
Indeed, I grew up in a closely regulated environment, my friends who are about the same age as me lament the fact that we are of a certain nature...well, it sure do not feel good to be reminded that this is the way we grew up...as we meet people from different countries...we realise that we are really not that apt at interacting or improvising...
At the pedicurist, the girl from China was able to "break the rules" and provide some freebies while the Singaporean was quick to reject any such request...well, guess we really have to learn to adapt...else we will definitely lose out...
We went to The Secret Garden cos it was nearby, and M said that her friend recommended it. But alas, the food was expensive but nothing to shout about. Guess people just go there for the ambience. After having one bite of the brownie, i craved for G-Spot at Big O. So we decided to leave the brownie intact and took a bus down to Orchard.
It's amazing that even the waitress @ Ajisen would ask me whether there was anything wrong with the food when it was left uneaten....and the waiter at Secret Garden didn't even enquire about the uneaten brownie...Haiz it shows that expensive restaurants are not always better...come to think of it, the food should have tasted delicious cos I was starving that day...my stomach even growled during the play! But still the food didn't appeal to me...think it must have been pretty bad!
It seems funny that I should visit two Parkway Hospitals in a week when I am no longer working there...anyway, it was quite fun to visit friends and their new babies...
After visiting CP, KX brought me to Katong to have steak @ Aston since it is near East Shore Hospital...I had the prime ribeye...altho it was still abit bloody, it tasted good...and we were quite full after that, so we took a short walk to Marine Parade before going home...

Sat, it was visiting Boss @ Mount E Hospital, it is amazing that she managed to deliver a 4.1 kg baby without epidural! E said that Boss liked the gift that they brought for her 1st born....Diapers! So we bought diapers this time again...couldn't find a shop selling ribbons @ Paragon...so just gave the diapers to her in the supermarket plastic bag....so paiseh...no gift-wrapping @ all!!!
As her son weighs 4.1kg, i suggested buying the S (4-8kg) sized diapers instead of the "new-born" sized diaper, E was surprised that the weight stated on the diaper refers to the weight of the baby and not the weight of its contents!!!.jpg)
With the company of SL and SC, I had a wonderful National Day this year...having my favourite sashimi and sushi...but City Hall sure was crowded that day....it seems like the whole world has descended @ City Hall....
Thereafter, we started walking towards Raffles Place area to find a nice and comfortable spot, which is also not too crowded...we ended up at a bridge near Boat Quay...our fireworks view was slightly blocked by the the Parliament Building...but it was not a bad spot...and we squealed in delight when the fireworks started...
However, an odd-number group of girls is not too good it seems....
I can't remember the last time I watched a movie on it's opening day...but somehow, we decided to watch 不能说的秘密 on it's opening day...as most theatres in the city were sold out, we decided to go to CCK.
Bad choice, the theatre and seats were not properly cleaned and there was a piece of tissue left on my seat when i tried to sit....
With this experience plus our last experience of creaking seats @ Jurong Theatre...we would definitely try to spend our $ at newer theatres.
Both of us didn't know the story-line hence was quite surprised by how the plot unfolds....however, there were a number of illogical sections in this movie...watch it and u will find out for yourself! :P
Yes or No?
If the person asking is not G, think my answer would be obvious... but somehow....it seems so difficult to come to a conclusion now. Well, since I do not expect anything and know that it means nothing to G, so why is it so difficult to make this decision?
I have always like musical boxes and the tinkling sounds that they produce...so when I found a whole range of musical cranks with different tunes available on Friday, I was like a kid in a candy store...trying out all the different tunes...alas, could not find one that I really like...anyway, in the end, bought one playing La Vie En Rose, using the excuse that M likes it.
In the midst of magazines showing cleavages this month is Men's Health magazine...showing actor Qi Yu Wu's defined abs...I've always wondered whether it is that easy for men to buff up their abs so easily....most male frens confess that theirs is 一大粒... well if female cover girls can have their blemishes digital removed, features enhanced...it shouldn't be that difficult for men to have theirs improved on the covers too right? His fans....pls do not kill me.... :P
