Saturday, May 31, 2008 Well, what a nice end to my somehow alright May. Shall look back on May in my next entry.
Today was (strictly) no SEX, but IN THE CITY! Fengie, Gracie and I met up for this movie extra-glam-vaganza. PLUS it's a ROM-COM. haha. The movie seemed too long and too packed but it was very nice feel good show to watch. The gals were very envious of the nice pretty clothes the ladies wore in the show and i always love watching a group of friends enjoying each other's presence haha. One thing really bad about the show: well, yes, the SEX. Far too raunchy for us to handle.
After the movie, it was window shopping at very very crowded Bugis Street as usual and before we left it was dinner at MOS Burger. Of course, the day is NEVER COMPLETE without CAM-WHORING with the gals haha.
Gracie and Me, Fengie and Gracie  All full and satisified  Last Shot! music.city.soul || 11:57 PM || 0 comments
Well, back with some updates finally!Sunday, May 25, 2008 Sat was my first time attending the NDP Bay Ambassador session. Yes, if you didn't know, i am officially a NDP Bay ambassador! Nothing too glamorous. In fact, i think i'll be embarassed if anyone saw me at the parade haha... Maybe doing all these volunteering makes me feel very cheesy. Then again, i'm sure it'll be a good experience so hell with the cheesiness right? haha.  After the session, Kenny G and i proceeded to Holland Village to have our lunch (actually i was the only one having lunch) and then high tea. Well, that's my FIRST time to high tea. haha.   Well, chatting over tea and delicious cakes was certainly very chillin' (street-speaking). I think it's a different and very relaxing way to spend the sat tea time instead of well, doing window shopping for most of the time. And yes, it was back to Routine after that haha. Sat aside, most of my time this past week has either been spent on 1) Watching America's Next Top Model Cycle 9 on Youtube - Finally caught on to it after not watching it for like god knows how long. I truly miss the days i can discuss ANTM with S-herny those days when i was back in AJC. I still remember his impersonation of Tyra was super hilarious and we have some great moments talking about being "fierce" haha. Plus, ANTM provides me some exciting tv bites i've neglected for so long - the bitchiness of the models etc. Entertaining my weekday nights spent at home and make me NOT think about work. haha. 2) Watching my rom-coms i've rented. Sadly, the rom-coms i've rented are NOT THAT fantastic. Well, i should have guessed anyway since they're not that well-received. The only movie that spiked my interest was however, not a rom com but a musical. And that is Dreamgirls! That's a nice movie to watch and sing alot! 3) Packing my room - My room renovations are starting next next week i believe and i have lots of packing to do. I seriously don't know how to pack - i'm not sure what to keep, how to pack them in the boxes we have to make use of the space in the box fully etc. At least i've cleared on cupboard but that's only like 1/5 of the entire room? I must so STOP PROCRASTINATING and get packing. I'm so lazy at home nowadays......... 4) Thinking of how to decorate my new room! I have a few ideas i want to incoporate into my new room but nothing's finalised (nothing's ever finalised i think haha). But i shall elaborate on my next entry. I'm trying to make a list of things i need to buy for the new room and well, a list of things to get for myself to make myself happy for my incoming birthday. I wanna buy SOMETHING but i haven't got a strong idea of what that THING is! hmmm... Well, May certainly is ending SO SOON! But i still have one last tough week ahead... wish me LUCK! music.city.soul || 5:29 PM || 0 comments
Monday, May 19, 2008 Quick updates here before the long weekend comes to an end. I am SO having my own ROMANTIC COMEDY weekend! Saturday, i went to catch the movie MADE OF HONOR! Finally a movie i anticipated to watch. Being a romantic comedy fanatic, it's obviously something i had to catch, having missed two other romance movies previously (PS I Love You and Definitely Maybe). The movie was certainly very enjoyable and fun. But most shockingly, the ending was totally different from what i expected. Good for a change considering all rom-coms usually end up with the same predictable nothing-to-comment-about ending. Well, then it was dinner at the FIN restaurant with Kenny G, where we ate Fish & Chips for a discounted price using our SAFRA card. This must be one of those days where we feel, MAYBE it's good to be in NS. Just maybe. But it truthfully is not. We proceeded to meet up with the gals, Fengie and Gracie, since we (or rather me) have yet to see them for quite sometime. We walked to the Singapore Flyer Station to catch a glimpse of this current fad that everyone seems to be going for. But since the four of us were as tight in our pockets, it was just a on-site appreciation of the so-far world's largest ferris wheel. Maybe when we're older and can afford the ride. Plus there's always a better view when the IR is up. The wait is worthwhile. right? haha Anyway, to continue on my rom-com weekend, i spontaneously rented five VCDS (plus one from Kenny G) and gasps, ALL ROM-COMS!!!
So don't stop me from the rom-com mood now! Hmmm... to commemorate such a weekend ( i think i myself is te only one remotely excitedly about my own theme weekend), i have something i'm writing which is still in progress... music.city.soul || 10:55 AM || 0 comments
Well, this is a lazy start to a potentially lazy weekend. I declare myself half-broke. Having so much money on what Jem terms "Charity" (shall not elbaorate further since it's well, taboo, haha), i am NOT willing to spend on any thing else if it's not worthwhile.Saturday, May 17, 2008 Anyway, the past two days my boring weekends were where anything but with two different "happenings". Thursday was House-Warming Dinner, in which all of Manpower (the NSFs of course, and yes, including Miss Chipmunk) were invited to Joshie's new house situated at Braddell. Prince, Princess, maid and all other invited guests (the long-time-no-see Ton and Loba Loba, Marc and CM) had a pleasant dinner over at Joshie's house. The spotlight however, aside the house, was Joshie's dog, also VERY coincidentally named Prince. Much to the *roll-eyes effect* of Prince and Princess haha. JOKING. Joshie's younger brother is also named Joel by the way. Ha... Everyone got their chance to touch, play and fiddle with the dog, which was more than excited to see its royal guests haha. Anyway, thanks to Joshie for the invite! It's very nice of you to extend the invite to all of us in office and well, although i might SOUND very "unwilling" (part of my sarcastic behaviour towards him haha), i am actually, truthfully, very honored. haha. Friday was routine meeting with my possibly ONLY Jc friends i keep in contact with - Lumpy and Princess-C (Opps. my colleagues stole the name from you! haha). It was fast food dinner - my evergreen fave - over at Carls Junior at Far East Plaza. As i was always the ONLY guy in the trio, i'm always the MAID haha. But the joke of the day was actually on MY MAID! haha... She messaged me in the middle of our dinner saying: "You coming back for dinner? I am YOUR MAID." Actually i dunno what's so funny about it but the crazy two just kept laughing. Before we ended the day, they even started making jokes of my maid and me being together. CRAZY nuts. Before we left yest, we plan to go Kbox at the Ten-dollar Chinatown Kbox for our monthly meeting. Great! Anything with music is fine with me! haha. Well, on another note, i have to start PACKING my room!!! My room is VERY DEFINITELY going under renovations! That will happen in another week or two and i have yet to start any packing! Been going out and coming back late to have energy and time to pack... And my room is in SUCH a mess. Urgh... have to go thru the arduous task of tidying and packing and sorting. Alright i shall look towards the future! Bigger wardrobe, better furniture and new room design! I am quite excited at this thought! haha... BUT BUT BUT... i'm paying half of the renovations which is pretty alot. But then again, i will SUCH a sense of attachment to my room. So cool to really OWN (or at least half own) my room. Should i hold a ROOM WARMING dinner then??? haha. music.city.soul || 12:08 PM || 0 comments
Sometimes i like weekdays. Certainly not because of work but because they give me the "cosy" feeling whenever i spend weekdays with my friends.Tuesday, May 13, 2008 Either a simple dinner or short walk with Yang Sis, or maybe Kenny G crashing my house for a few hours for a nice long chat. I don't usually plan my weekdays, they're mostly free and ever calling on people to call me or ask me for a heartwarming (i hope) get-together. If not, nowadays, i'll stay in the sanctuary of my own room surfing the net, taking my own sweet time to reply my fellow music friend, DK (haha. a first mention that is) , blog or have small chat with my friends on msn while cruising in the delight of my own special song selection. Well, today Kenny G crashed my house again. It was all updates updates updates. Updates on life, ya whatever there is to our life, bitching and random stuff i can't remember. haha. Kenny G's food review being published (again)!  Then it was rehearsal for his Toastmasters speech before we resumed out usual music monger session. And this time it turned out to be some mini pseudo KBOX session hahaha!!! Can you believe this is THE ONLY ONE (of 20 shots) that turned out well? haha  We were grooving to the cheery beats of "STOP" (by my fave spice girls), emo-ing to the sorrowful voices of "TOO LOST IN YOU" and indulging in the serenating voice of Gabrielle in "OUT OF REACH". It was so random, so fun and sooooo... nice. I don't even think there's a need for KBOX anymore! haha... (But i still want to go la, call me!!!) If you see the pic, i didn't even bother to change out of my army uniform. Just wanted to lie in bed and sing and relac... haha. Well, that's it for another random weekday. Have a nice day ahead... :) music.city.soul || 10:02 PM || 0 comments
Sat was FINALLY Kbox! After serious Kbox mania in Nov and Dec, i practically had Kbox drought from January to April! Yups, and to celebrate Miss Yv's Birthday for the SECOND time (don't worry, there's a third one coming up :0), Miss Chipmunk and all has decided to go for Kbox.Monday, May 12, 2008 Although at first i was reluctant to spend another precious weekend with my colleagues (the feeling of "again?"), guess it was my SERIOUS LOVE FOR MUSIC that stole my heart away and made me go for the kbox. Plus the fact that Prince Ronald and Jem were going so it ain't gonna be the same. haha. (we sorta "force" each other to go huh... haha)
Little notes here: Jem has a nice good manly voice, Prince Ronald has his own "style" of singing, Marcus loves to choose poptastic english songs to sing me (i'm probably the only person who mostly sang english songs hehe), Joshie has improved on his Chinese, Miss Yv has a delightable taste for good cheena songs and Miss Chipmunk is well, probably the only one who didn't change. Her singing is just as BAD as BEFORE!
Birthday Gurl and...... THE MAID??? hahahah Hahahaha... (i know you're reading this and very agitated) JUST JOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Prince & Princess (Ya, that's what i'm called. WTH.)
Jem and his trademark -_- , No comments on Prince.
Permutations and Combinations
Boss and Me
First Attempt: Miss Chipmunk cut away. TOO BAD! Second Attempt: Jem looks... enLIGHTened. Great.
Ok Enough of me being a act-cute (i know i know... haha) CAMWHORE! Looking forward to another Kbox! music.city.soul || 8:52 PM || 0 comments
Today was a busy day at work for me! I swear i'm really not good at figures and tables and tables full of figures! Gave me headache after dealing with it for like one hour plus.Tuesday, May 6, 2008 But nevertheless i accomplished what i wanted. So whew... to a head-achy day. And yes, another round tomorrow. Well, time is office now is pretty interesting. Getting busy and worrying for me workwise but other than that, i'm trying to relieve my stress by inflicting sarcastic comments ever so effortlessly on Ms Chipmunk and my new found target, MY GREAT UPPERSTUDY, Joshie. All i can say is we're not on "good" terms. I'm "Stupid Joel" for whatever i say to him. Then again, whatever i say to him is sarcastic haha... Ms Chipmunk on the other hand, is ever so affected by my painful but "just kidding" comments. haha. I finally get to practise some sarcasm skills on NEW TARGETS. haha Anyway, due to clashes in schedule between Ms Yv, Wendie and the rest of the boys, we made a quick decision to celebrate Ms Yv's birthday today at HOT CULTURE at Marina Square. Well, the usual happened. Ms Chipmunk makes a fool of herself, i make fun of Joshie and we makes fun of Ms Chipmunk. haha. Photos!
Three of us and the three "angels"
Candid and nice! haha.
So not handsome
Can i laugh at Joshie's hair? hahahaha P.S: just got my haircut on sun so i dont look nice! i look cheena! eee... music.city.soul || 11:06 PM || 0 comments
Continuing my streak of watching controversial/scandalous movies in recent months, today i finally got down to watch Cashback and the Oscar-Winning Film, BrokeBack Mountain.Sunday, May 4, 2008 Brokeback, if you ever do want to watch it, is quite an interesting film. Like most Oscar films, it centers not so much on excitement/entertaining the audience but showing the audience the story in its whole essence. It's obvious what the message of the movie is - to tell people to not discriminate (well, that kind) through a touching but mainly slow and painful love story. Slow for a reason that it spans over ten plus years. Stigmatised to be macho and all manly, both characters (played by Jake and Heath) found themselves having to hide their scandalous relationship in a cowboy world. To hide the truth, they hurt women that "love" in the process which ends up to be good for no one in the end. It's quite a slow and quiet movie but still bearable because i'm constantly on alert (haha) to see what they might get up to. Cashback, on the other hand, is nice, witty and lovely, though it has its share of dirty moments (quite a considerable share i must say too). I'm sure most of you have heard of this story about an insomniac (Ben) who discovers that he could stop time and somehow uses his power to make sketches of nude women in their most beautiful and graceful form. I won't even consider the movie dirty since the hobby of the insomniac could be anything from music to books to games. It just happens that his was drawing pictures of nude women. haha. I like the main character for being so intuitive, making little reflections of his personal life as the story flows. He is a humble but personable guy, and together with his sensitive and intuitive side, makes me highly admirable of him. I like the way that he can be a bit funny, a bit serious and a bit humble and a bit witty all at the same time. Plus he has a dress sense that is simple but still chic. Maybe it's my fascination with British culture/dress sense but he looks really nice, esp the green striped polo shirt with a leather jacket he wore for his boss' birthday party.  The love story that developed between him and his female colleague, Sharon, is also sweet to watch and simply captivating at the end. Well, i love the part where Sharon and him sits down at the cafe, to talk about what each of them want to do in life (Sharon - learning Spanish so that she can travel, Ben - hopes to be a painter). How Sharon commends Ben on his chosen career stuck most to me. She said " I think it might be something to do with their ability to see beauty in everything; to then capture it and hang it on a wall for all to see." Very true indeed. The same way i admire people with writing skills who can express themselves so well people can feel the same way as they do. Sadly, i can only admire. haha. But it was amazing how they could capture beauty as LOVE through the movie. Should catch it if you can. Well, on with updates for my like-every-other-weekend weekend. Friday i watched Iron Man with Yang Sis. It was a nice show, like a chick flick, you feel entertained but that's it. haha. Well, Yang Sis actually rejected her boyfriend's request to watch Iron Man earlier on but was ok to watch it with me haha. I said her bf must be pissed with me but as Yang Sis says, and i'm pretty sure, he's a nice person haha. Sat was routine weekend with my usual stint at SA. This week i brought Kenny G along, hopefully he'll like it like i do in time to come. haha. After only a month there, i feel i;m quite senior there already with many more new volunteers! haha. After a simple lunch at IVINS, Kenny G and I went to J8 to buy our much-desired footwear (dunno how to call it - slippers? haha) and then proceeded to Orchard Road for our usual walk down. Sunday was movie day (the two movies mentioned above) and studying day. haha. Yups, i'm in panic mode to study well for my advanced theory test on this friday! WISH ME LUCK! That's all. Out! music.city.soul || 8:50 PM || 0 comments
HAPPY LABOUR DAY!!!Thursday, May 1, 2008 It's so great to FINALLY get a break (on a weekday) after no-holidays April... Ah... Haha. Well just some random updates today before the break officially ends and work starts AGAIN tomorrow. Only consolation: TGIF (Thank God It's Friday!). Well, after taking the advanced trial practice, i have low faith to pass the test. Die already must really study hard for it and USE MY RUSTY BRAINS!!! Someone help me! haha. Must study hard but I DONT HAVE THE PASSION!  Other another note, all thanks to Kenny G, I got my very own AUTOGRAPHED CD BY COLBIE CAILLAT!!! Yups, the COCO Album, signed (by colbie herself!), sealed and delivered (by Kenny G nonetheless haha)! It'll go down in history as my very first autographed cd. Cool... haha Alright, for LABOUR DAY SPECIAL today, i joined Kenny G, Fengie and Gracie for a swim! Fantastic cause i've always liked swimming (esp since it's a less "macho" sport" and it's not physically v demanding) and i've been wanting to do some serious exercise to well, look a bit more healthy. So well, we swam at the Yishun Public Swimming Club after finding out SAFRA doesn't provide too good a service for guests (Fengie and Gracie). It was quite nice swim and i managed to swim like 5 go-there-and-come-back laps on top of some random swim in the medium pool (Gracie and Kenny can't swim haha). And it was a good chance to get a bit of tanning since many people reckons i'm too fair for a guy. Well, i saw some guys suntanning at the public pool and it's kinda turnoff-ish. Like you go to a pool AND DONT SWIM? haha. Whatever. After the swim, we went to buy some food (famous yishun laksa - hot!) to eat at Gracie's house as we watched Ocsar-Winning French film, La Vie en Rose . Gracie and Kenny have been wanting to watch it. Esp Kenny since he's quite the French wannabe haha. The movie was alright, quite brow-raising to look at the screwed-up life of a famous singer. Not WOW but not bad too. And well, to end of the day, i learnt from my parents that my room is really going to get renovated! the contractor came when i was out so it relly might happen in the next few months! haha. But the problem is MOOLAH... My parents are asking me to pay HALF the sum. -_- Had a small tiff (nothing serious /violent) but no conclusion yet. But i guess no matter what, i'll have to pay. It's always like that, GOOD but NOT~ THAT GOOD too. Life. music.city.soul || 10:31 PM || 0 comments |
