I can’t think of a title

It’s been more than a week since my previous post.

And i’m having trouble recalling all that i’ve done and the exact date of stuff i’ve done just over the past week. My memory is failing me!

Let’s see, i’ll start with the day after my last paper. Forgive me if i get any dates mixed up or seem incoherent.

6th May 2008

Hmm, i think baby and i watched a korean movie titled “the longest 24 months”.

It’s a show featuring 4 couples and how they manage being apart for 2 years as the guys enter army. It was more of a sad show as there was cheating, fighting and breaking up so couples, both guys and gals, watching this movie will definitely feel the pain, especially those who’ve experienced being separated from their loved one due to army.

Imagine if your other half has to travel overseas often and for long periods in future due to his job requirements.

You’d really miss him/her so much.

Then imagine if your other half has a really gorgeous/hot colleague around your age who has to work closely together with him/her and always travels overseas with him/her.

And imagine if that colleague is the kind with looks and peronality that you’re sure will attract most people - including your other half.

Just imagine.

Anyway i seriously can’t remember if we watched or did anything else.

7th May 2008

We took a bus down to ikea and after such a long time, i finally had ikea’s hotdog and ice-cream! Heh here’s baby enjoying his hotdog :)

We were quite unfortunate though as ikea’s renovation works started that day so quite a few of their “room exhibitions” were empty and even worse, their cafe was also under renovation. So baby and i didn’t get to satisfy our meatball cravings.

I think their renovation work finishes end of may so we shall visit ikea next month and have our fill of their meatballs.

Alright, after an unusually fast walk through ikea, we decided to head for great world city as i was kinda bored with town area and vivo.

Baby said we had to cross the overhead bridge to the bus-stop on the other side and i was whining away as i hate climbing stairs or doing anything that increases my average heartbeat rate actually. And i asked him if he was really really sure we had to cross over to the other side cos if we crossed over and find out we should be taking the bus from the side we just crossed over from then not only did we climb all that stairs for nothing, but we would have to climb the stairs a second time!

Lo and behold, we had to climb the stairs twice :\

Anyway, i remembered from my previous visits to great world city, there’s this magic shop stocked up with tricks and unusual stuff. Sadly the shop’s not there anymore, we looked all over for it but to no avail.

We had japanese food for dinner at ichiban boshi and baby decided to order us sake!

After that, we were deliberating if we should join our friends later on at zouk but we decided to give mambo a miss as neither of us felt much like clubbing. In addition, we were not dressed for zouk so we just headed back to hall and watched “strange wilderness”.

It’s a show by adam sandler’s happy madison production company but adam sandler’s not acting in it, unfortunately as i like him. Some parts were kinda funny in a silly, retarded way.

8th May 2008

We went to suntec city to catch the movie “what happens in vegas”. The storyline’s cliche yes, but it has it’s funny moments, romantic moments and sad moments so all-in-all it was a pretty enjoyable movie for baby and i.

Ok i was quite amazed with the size of one of the toilets which had so many sinks and huge wide mirrors so i camwhored while baby was in the gents.

And i compared the photos to my previous camwhoring photos in february and i must say i’m really fat now! The additional 5kg i put on is seriously showing :(

Anyway baby was craving for kfc and so that’s what we had for dinner. We ordered their “buddy meal” which at a glance of the picture advertising it, it seemed to include 2 pieces of chicken, a zinger burger, 2 mash potatoes and 2 drinks.

But after we ordered, baby took a closer look at the picture, reading the small print and realised that the burger shown was a zinger burger but it was a fish zinger burger. Well he ate the burger anyway, most of it but he didn’t really enjoy it.

So we headed to donut factory to get his fav double chocolate donut and also bought bubble tea to wash down the fish. Then we had to visit carrefour to get some food stuff for the next day’s chalet gathering which includes yellow onions, cucumber and can longans, and back to hall it was.

Baby loaded a korean show for us to watch, “innocent steps” which has the same main actress as another korean show that we’ve watched quite a long time ago “my little bride” - moon geun young - who was born in 1987 so she’s my age. Though she looks really really young in both movies, that she can easily pass off as someone who’s 15 or so.

9th May 2008

We had a chalet gathering at downtown east! Either there was a lot of food or most of the ppl were small eaters or on a diet as there were lots of leftovers.

These were the people who turned up:

There was another pfm girl (forgot her name but i think it’s a chinese name - no wonder i can’t remember) but i don’t have a picture of her as she arrived quite late, a couple of hours after i took out my camera to snap pictures.

So by then i was too engrossed in playing poker, blackjack, bridge, uno and mahjong to remember to snap more pictures of everybody having fun. I’m sorry!

It was really fun, full of laughter and i stayed up all night playing mahjong. I was the biggest winner with a grand total of $15.70 profit but too bad we weren’t playing for keeps though i’m happy knowing that my luck is way better than the other 3 players haha.

Plus it was great meeting up with all of them after such a long time, especially with cherie. Updating each other and gossiping about the scandalous stuff that went on during mambo.

All the desperate re guys and girls who wanna get hitched or laid, whichever.

Tsk tsk.

10th May 2008

We were so tired from staying up the whole night.

Thankfully baby’s dad came to fetch us from the chalet back to hall in the morning if not i don’t know how i would have ever managed to drag myself back. When we were back in hall, i quickly brushed my teeth (hygiene first!) then baby and i konked out immediately when our heads touched the pillows.

Then at 4pm, we had to get up and get ready to go for tsz ching’s 21st birthday party. Her place was near great world city, so for the second time in the same week, that’s where we headed to in order to get her birthday present.

We were already running late so we tried our best to hurry the choosing process but we still took quite long. In the end we bought tsz ching makeup since we both know that she wears makeup. We got her a multi-color lip palette and a multi-color eye palette.

I really loved the colors of the eye palette! There was no tester so i do hope the colors come out strong enough when applied. When it comes to makeup, i hardly know a thing since i’ve applied makeup only about 5 times i think in my entire life, including both sec 4 prom and j2 prom!

I wasn’t feeling well so baby and i left halfway into the party. Though i’m sorry we didn’t say goodbye to the birthday girl cos it was during one of the party games and all the guests were looking at her so it would have been kinda awkward, not to mention attention-getting so we made a silent exit.

After that baby and i had a small fight, but we made up the next day, so all is well :)

11th May 2008

Baby and i made up in the afternoon, then he went out to buy ban mian and bubble tea for my lunch while i packed up my room in hall as we were moving out that day. Then while i had my lunch, we watched the movie “speed racer” in his room.

It’s a pretty average movie, with cliche parts here and there, no huge peak of emotions felt throughout the storyline but still, it didn’t leave us bored. So i guess it’s still alright.

Around 4pm my mum called to say they were on the way to hall so baby and i quickly went back to my room to finish packing the rest of my stuff before they arrived. Then it was the usual back-breaking shifting of everything back to the car like the past 2 semesters.

Then back home with the car weighed down with all my stuff, then once again shifting the stuff from the car back into the house and unpacking of all the stuff in my room.

I think i need to throw away or give away half of my wardrobe. My cupboards are really stuffed way beyond their capacity even though not all my clothes are in there since there are some in the laundry basket, some in the wash, some in the dryer, some yet to be ironed and also i gave away exactly 20 tops just two months ago.

Here’s a glimse of my extremely full cupboards:

See how all the hangers are kissing each other, such that i can’t squeeze in any more clothes so i’ve dumped the clothes that can’t fit into my cupboard in another part of my room. And when i’m trying to find a particular piece of clothing, i have a lot of trouble moving the clothes to search for it and my arms are always aching after just going through a third of my wardrobe.

And the picture above doesn’t show you the whole cupboard since picasa trims the borders when you do a collage. Hence quite a lot of the clothes at both ends are cut out.

Note: the clothes that are hung are from 2 different cupboards. I’m not that silly to post the same picture of one cupboard twice and yes both are my very own cupboards. Every piece of clothing is mine as i don’t share my clothes. Not that i’m selfish, i just don’t have a sister and my mum and i suit different types of clothings since she has broad shoulders and mine are narrow. And yes, the 3 drawers are so full that i have trouble pulling them open and pushing them close.

I think i’ll need to get a second storage box for my bedsheets, pillow/bolster cases soon as well. Somehow they managed to tear my old box and my mum got me a new one last month but i can’t fit them all in even though i squeezed them like crazy till they’re probably all extremely crumpled now.

Anyway to all mothers and mothers-to-be: Happy mothers’ day!

My family and i had our mothers’ day dinner at jack’s place - my brother’s suggestion - at great world city so for the third time in the same week i was there again. And the 3 of them ordered the mothers’ day set course which was $27 per person, rather worth it as it includes an appetiser, soup of the day, main course, desert, tea/coffee and a gift.

But we changed the appetizers to escargot and 2 soups to lobster bisque hence there were additional charges to the $27 per person.

There was a down-sized menu just for mothers’ day so many of their usual dishes were not on the menu such as their local favourites and fish and chips but the manager made a special request to the chef for us so that i could have fish and chips!

The desert was fantabulous! White chocolate mousse with mango - yummy! I gobbled it down so fast my brother kept calling me a pig. The gift provided in the set course was the usual photoframe so we have 3 of them.

After dinner, my brother and i wanted to watch a movie. I wanted to watch “hansel and gretel” in particular as it has been a long while since i last watched a horror flick but the theatre at great world city didn’t screen it and i’ve watched nearly all the rest of the movies. So we just headed down to the electronic store, best, to look at their cd players as my brother wanted to get one mounted in his room just like mine - copycat!

My brother did have a cd player, actually it’s a stereo set which costs around $3000 but we shifted it out to the living room since my brother didn’t use it at all then, after asking them to buy it for him when he was in lower primary.

He had actually been asking my mum if he could take my cd player since i stay in hall so i hardly use it but as i’ll be home for the next 3 months, he can’t have mine haha. And i really like my nakamichi cd player as it’s really good (sound space 8!) and has a 5-disc cd changer - how convenient! Well it has to be for the price my parents paid for it 8 years ago - around $2000.

It’s kinda funny how just at the start of this century we wanted cd players so our parents got them for us, then a couple of years later cd players were out and mp3 players were in so our parents got 5 mp3 players for us, including 3 ipods. Then 2-in-1 handphone and music player was in so they bought us those handphones and those mini cards that each cost nearly $200 for us to store music.

Then now it’s back to cd players again.

Anyway my brother had even asked my parents if he could have my room! Cos my room’s quite a lot bigger than his and during dinner he also asked me when’s the earliest that i can get a house of my own and move out -_-

So eager for me to move out of the house just so he can get my room - such a nice sibling i have.

12th May 2008

It was baby’s first day of his internship! :)

His last day of internship is on 31st july 2008 so for the next 3 months, i will only be able to see him after work on weekdays so i shall really treasure all our weekends together when we’re able to spend the whole day together.

I haven’t sent my resume to anywhere yet so i’m slacking at home, but not for long. Hopefully i’ll get down to doing-up my resume by tomorrow and then i shall send it out and pray i get a great-paying temp job some place near my house. Then i’ll be able to save up lots for our trip to bangkok before school starts and shop-till-i-drop!

Anyway in the evening i went out with my brother to visit the pasar malam (is that how you spell it?) at toa payoh and we bought lots of food there. Then baby met up with us at the interchange and my dad came to fetch us home.

As usual, my brother played computer games all night even though he has an exam the next morning. Laziness must run in the family, he didn’t even bother to bring his textbooks home and he was out all afternoon after his morning paper, at the arcade and watched a movie with his friends even though his exams are not over.

And also as usual, baby and i watched a movie, jack neo’s “ah long pte ltd” on dvd. The main actor, mark lee was good with his usual funny antics and being a “sissy” type of guy, but i still prefer jack neo’s other productions like “i not stupid” and “home run”.

Today

Baby left for work early in the morning and i couldn’t get back to sleep after tossing and turning for an hour so i decided to finish up this draft and post it.

Hopefully when i’m done here, i’ll do-up my resume and start applying for a temp job.

Actually i feel like going back to bed now, must be the thought of doing something productive and beneficial to me (like studying) that is making me sleepy.

Yawn.
