It feels good to take a little break...to do something different and bold...to enjoy the sea breeze, listen to the waves and watch the aeroplanes flying overhead, thinking about the potential holidays...and basking in love....
Is it because of the light breeze and rain? Or the small umbrella? Or the raging hormones? Is it the conducive environment? Or the festive mood? Perhaps all of the above, that led to a wonderful conclusion...
I know that I ought to go and blow-dry my hair...I know that I ought to go and wrap the presents, but somehow...the procrastinator is still surfing the internet and blogging away....
Went to Tampopo today, this is the 2nd time that I'm there, I remembered that the food was quite ok....but today, I was abit disppointed with my Ramen that I ordered, M's sukiyaki tasted much better...
Perhaps we were juz that little bit late, and the restaurant was full...so we accepted the counter seats...wrong choice...the chefs in the kitchen were right in front of us, and were bantering away....the chefs kept on teasing us, asking us to order this or that when we were taking a long time to choose what we wanted to eat...
On the counter above us, were big bowls for ramen, and in their "excitement to impress us", one of the chef nearly toppled the bowls on us!!! We were glad to get out of the place as soon as possible!!!!
Can't remember exactly when I started liking Edward Norton, I think it was the show where he acted as someone with a spilt personality. (update) ok...GM messaged me and informed me that this show is called Primal Fear (update ended). I really like Edward's acting, and I think he's so good looking.
Read from the papers last week that he has a new show! Hopefully I can get to watch it soon!
ok...muz apologise to all those who have been faithfully checking my blog...and disappointd that there were no new posts. Haha, ok, I didn't go missing like last Christmas....I juz couldn't find time to write.
This past week, seemed to have spent alot of time at Esplanade...and my dad asked me whether there are really so many shows for me to watch... :P
I am so glad that I didn't give away my ticket for Emi Fujita's concert...she was part of Japanese group Le Couple... can really feel the emotions oozing out of her singing...and I'm surprised why I've never listened to her before...but at least I know some of the songs that she sang. It was a pleasant surprise when I recognised one of my favourite songs, The Rose....
The next show I watched was The Nutcracker, although I have heard of this dance, this is the first time I watched it...although I normally don't go to dances, I must say that I quite enjoyed the performance...I think this was the first time I was seated at the theatre stalls...
I chose Foyer stall seats for Jazzy Christmas...and I'm amazed that we were so close to the stage, although we didn't buy expensive tickets...con: we had to sit with twisted necks...really didn't expect that harmonica can produce sounds so similar to saxophone!
Ha..technically today is not sunshine over the rain....as there wasn't rain yesterday...and I wore blue again today!!! Anyway, Tuesday wasn't too bad for me actually...I stole my colleague's fan since he didn't come to work (I left it at his seat which is my old seat, when i moved to my new place - Anyway, the fan was passed to me from a colleague who has left the company). It was so much better when I placed the fan right in front of me! Hence, I actually wanted to be constantly at my seat, enjoying the breeze instead of walking around the office...
Yesterday, my Korean colleague sent me an mp3, together with the lyrics..."Way Back into Love" from Music and Lyrics...the day wasn't so bad after all...
And today, was told that I may not have to go India...but may be able to go to some places which I would definitely enjoy going....Yippee!!!!
Muz really learn not to be so negative....there is still sunshine!!!
Although today is not Monday, it still seems to be a blue day...in honor of the rain the day before, I wore a long sleeve blue sweater over a tee. However, horrors of horrors! I knew I made a mistake the minute I walked into the office...the air con was not working!!! It was so suffocating!
After that, was told by the boss that I may have to go to India next year... of all the places in the Asia region, this would be the place that most people would not want to go currently...
Then, had to face so many rejections...as M had a last min biz trip, I had to sell the tickets that we have bought...sob sob...nobody's interested...A even asked me to give them to K for K's Sat date!!!! Why is it that everyone's concerned about K? Why nobody is concerned about me? Is it because I am not sweet and kind enough? *pout*
On the MRT on the way home, found the guy sitting beside me taking his own picture! What a weird place to take his own picture! When I smsed M, M told me to be careful that the guy may actually be taking a picture of me instead! Got me nervous and I started to observe the guy, it seems quite weird that he was holding his phone by his face whilst he was listening to mp3! Could only heave a sigh of relief after he alighted...wonder what recourse one has if he was indeed taking my picture! And I was wearing pants and a sweater!!! Definitely nothing to turn him on!!!!
The path home is really lonely and dark...
Messaged A to ask how she fared....she said that she suffered from cramps to both her legs from 17km onwards...and finished it in 2 hr 56min....
I am really amazed..each time I have a little cramp to my leg, I have to stop playing tennis / squash...however, A managed to continue running....really her willpower is strong...we really have to learn to conqueor our bodies..Mind Over Body!
This seems to be holiday season...3 colleagues going to Japan, 2 colleagues went on work trip to Korea, 2 friends going to US, and others, going to different parts of the world...China, The Philippines, etc...
Me? I am staying in Singapore...sob....
Do I look like an undergraduate? Went to NUS today to attend the Childaid concert (a concert where children or youths perform, to raise funds for needy children). Since I am not very familiar with NUS...had to ask for directions to my destination.
Chatted with a very pretty and helpful girl...most importantly...she thought that i was a student, a year 3 student! :P ..ha...told her that she is not good at guessing age!
After waiting for more than 15min for the bus that refuses to come, she offered to bring me on another bus. Really surprised that there are such friendly people around...
Anyways,I realised that the children all like to dress up as adults! All of them around the ages of 12-14....but look like they are in their early 20s...or are dressed in adult-fashion! Hmm...the world is really confusing right? Adults want to look young...whilst kids want to look old.
When I saw the call from K, I thought it was to discuss about meeting up....however, really got the shock of my life when he said that M's husband passed away after a fall at home....
Indeed, life is short and unpredictable....what's the use of marrying someone and loving him wholeheartedly and have him die on you?
Mood: Morbid....
本来以为这个星期会平静的度过, 哪知一早开电脑后,就看到一件 urgent 邮件, 须要我马上处理... 也因为同事都不在, 我还得帮忙...最后还比平时忙! 希望剩下几天能够平静的过...:P
