What's In It For Me

A little update from me here, nothing significant has happened anyway (since when has ANYTHING significant happened? sighs.. haha)

But if i really really had to squeeze out one, that would be me dyeing my hair brown for the first time! haha. It actually happened last last sunday but i haven't exactly "announced" it (like who cares...) since it's not a big deal (i think haha).

I've always wondered if i will ever dye my hair since there's the nature theory of "if it's made to be black, then why should you change it", over the irresistable theory of "change". haha. Well, i succumbed to the second one and my hair is brown now. Well, not exactly brown brown, but dark inconspicuous brown. Nothing too flashy. Just that if you see me in the different light, and i mean literally, yups, your dear Joel's hair is brown. Chocolate brown and, as McDonald's once said, I'M (kinda) LOVIN' IT haha.

The most eye-opening fact about the dyeing experience was actually how fast it was. Put on that dye, wait for thirty minutes, wash it off and VOI....LA, it's brown! So far the response has been good so that's comforting to know haha. The weirdest comment came from my grandma who said "You're become BRAVE-R". I must dye it blond to show my ultimate boldness next time (you wish). haha

Moving on, last wed, i finally managed to meet up Bee Bee, Monkey as well as Siny for a simple dinner at suburban, i-never-go-there Choa Chu Kang. (Maybe i never visit CCK because of some bad blood between a college friend and me haha. jk)

We ate at Subway that night since little miss Monkey recommended the value set (recession alert!) and we all agreed. But i will say this again, I DON"T LIKE SUBWAY. I love fast food to death but that does not include Subway. It's just not my type of food.

I SOLEMNLY SWEAR I WILL NOT HAVE SUBWAY FOOD EVER. (unless i'm forced)

Well, it the usual story-telling and stuff. After dinner we moved on to the library to talk some more - and for me, opportunities to make snide sarcastic remarks on Monkey since she's so bully-able (ok, to put it nicely, she can play along with my jokes, which is a good trait :) haha)
The day ended with a mystery surrounding my chinese name, which was later very unexpectably revealed on facebook. Damn.

Friday was the long awaited LABOUR DAY! And i of course i wanted to go out. And so i called upon Ter-weeds and BBQ which stayed for a while with us to shop etc. After BBQ left, it was down to us "Ter-rific Two" doing our regular shopping.

It was a FRUITFUL day since i managed to buy TWO NEW T-SHIRTS! Uber-nice t-shirts in my possession - the idea is so great AND TRUE haha. It's been long since i bought any nice clothing, especially t-shirts so it really was retail therapy.

We settled at Ashtons for dinner where i ordered the gi-normous serving of the Double-Up chicken Chop (my choice: Crispy and BBQ). The BBQ was literally chicken feet since i was famished by the time we got our seat at the super-long queue Ashtons. The crispy one was the hard one to swallow. But still it was an improvement, and all for Operation 60! haha.

Then the next two days, i just slacked at home and just rest. Though REST for me = search for nice nice (european) music! I can't go wrong with music. haha.

And it's back to work today. SIGHS.
Awaiting my off-in-lieu for Vesak day now! haha.
