A long absence from here actually means that a lot of things have actually happened.. no time to blog.. and of course I'm actually finishing up the IA report I have to submit by the end of the week.. (but for now I must find out how to combine few pages of PDF files together)
Meeting People
Interestingly in the past 2 days while on the way to work I bumped into familiar unexpected faces.. Dashed into the MRT just before the doors closed on me on Monday only to hear Jeanette calling me. Ah always good to have an accompanying partner during a long boring journey from Harbourfront to Eunos. Not to mention the little adventure we had 'saving' a girl which really fainted at our feet in the crowded train.
Well, today I bumped into Wu Beidi at Harbourfront Bus Station. Haha.. the legendary Wu Beidi whose name was alongside honourary Sheares Hall Alumni like S.R. Nathan during those days when Sheares Hall was still in Wikipedia. Haha. Talked for a while and surprisingly she tried to persuade me to take up something that some others were also trying to get me to take up.. like how would she have known the situation now? Oh well.. Nice to see her again.. after all she was one of my 偶像s like Jianfa and Hazel that made me want to be Block Head. =)
So wonder who will I meet tomorrow?
Movie
Almost like a movie marathon I caught 2 movies in the past 2 days. Watched 300 with my colleagues on Monday. Superb show if you just want to watch lotsa action, CGI graphics and appreciate art of warfare. Though I think why my female colleagues loved the show was because there were a total of 1800pecs in the show.
Dreamgirls today. Yea a bit late for the show but I thought it was brilliant. Songs were nice, Beyonce was damn gorgeous and Jennifer Hudson was just overwhelmingly good though at times I think she was screaming too hard into the song. I'm now hooked onto the song Listen by Beyonce. Damn I could buy the whole soundtrack!
I still want to watch Iwo Jima. Who's game?
Heng Monday, Suay Tuesday
Monday was surprisingly peppered with nibbets of hengness.
- I was prepared to be late for work (again) as I didn't leave home on time but my father just happened to be leaving for work too so I got a ride to Harbourfront..
- Of course, meeting Jeanette on the train..
- Supervisor being arrowed too many things to have time to bark at us to do work.. ended up slacking haha..
- Had no money in my bank account and still able to book tickets for 300 using debit card..
- Got a call from Bargaincity.com saying I got my Canon Ixus 850IS for $639 and two 2GB SD cards instead of the revised price of $649 and one 1GB SD card and one 2GB SD card just because I called them on Sunday..
- Tat's deadline extended last minute.. haha
Today was slightly more sway.. though still not too bad..
- Bus to Harbourfront was excruciatingly slow.. think like 3 buses overtook mine
- Too engrossed watching House on my iPod I just missed a train that came and left right before my eyes at Outram Park
- Poured cats and dogs when I reached Somerset MRT and arrived drenched at Somerset MRT
- My movie kaki was earlier than me
- My debit card bounced when trying to pay for the movie ticket though my pay was cashed in today
- Wallet dropped out of my pocket to in-between the 2 seats under the armrest and took a hell lot of time to dig it out after the show.
Hope tomorrow's Mr Luck's turn to visit again.
Sheares Production - Communicating Doors
Probably not as good as last year's SP but it was certainly a great effort in creating an enjoyable night. Kudos to the entire SP team! Can totally feel their sense of elation and relief at the curtain call.. where finally all their hard work paid off. Ah.. reminds me of those wonderful 黄城 days.
Yea.. and probably never had supper at Fong Seng in the longest time ever.. though I didn't eat haa.
IT Fair
Wanted to buy my Canon Ixus 850IS there but was sold out. The idiot salesman gave me attitude problem when I tried to bargain for a discount by comparing their prices with the obviously more enticing bargaincity.com . So in the end Kayping and I left empty handed. Kayping will still saying before the fair that IT Fair should charge an entrance fee that is refundable upon purchase of anything at all at the fair.. to prevent people from window shopping and just chalking up the crowds.. ironically.. we became crowd-chalkers too haha.
NUS Open House
Backside itchy.. so went back to help Open House. Technically it's the Sheares Booth at Open House. Well done to ERC this year.. with the idea of helium balloons and pamphlets of Sheares Hall. =) Can't help but talking to blur freshies-to-be about staying in hall and SECC and everything.. haha I have a whole database of what to rattle off in my head.. 2 years worth of them in fact!
I realise I always my posts with Ok la going to sleep already but this is precisely what's going to happen now. Haha. Damn Fox and NBC for not showing Prison Break and Heroes this week.. Just watched a sad episode of House on the way back from Cinema just now.. guess I'm in for more House the next few days..
I usually don't take notice of lyrics when I listen to a nice song.. but this song's metaphorically nice.. (and Beyonce's still damn stunning)
Listen to the song here in my heart
a melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
Its only beginning to find release
Ohh the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned......
