Bugis Village

Heh, I think I shall write Bugis for today. So after having that dinner, most of us left for home while others continue to hang around, or walk walk to work off those kilos.

As Connie wanted to get earrings, so off we went to Bugis Village to get 'em. There's this shop called silver.com (that's what Adeline said, as I never bothered to look) and the guy manning the shop is super friendly. Not to mention he has good memory. He could recall that I went to his shop before with Connie. Haha, that was quite some time ago.. think about a month or two ago. Hmm.. probably it was Connie.. that's why he remembered.. keke, think he was quite smitten by her!

Anyway, his goods are quite ok, and the plus point is that he can recommend you stuffs that you'd want to buy. Not those that anyhow recommend just to make a sale. But I think most of his customers are those Taiwan Idol drama watcher teenage kind... but the previous time that we were there, he was having a difficult time with a middle age lady shopper who was pestering him on whether the necklace looked nice on her. Think she was there for about 20 minutes and if I recall.. I think she didn't buy it in the end *LOL*

I don't buy these kind of accessories but I think silver.com prices are not too bad. Should be quite affordable as on average, you can get at least two items for under ten bucks. But of course he'll tell you that for better quality items, the prices are naturally higher lor.

Steamboat

Yesterday went to eat steam boat with my colleagues at this place in Bugis (actually I think Bugis should be famous for having the most steamboat shops all lined up side by side, across each other, scattered everywhere... you name it, Bugis got it!). Anyway, this place is called 一品锅.

Actually I don't get it, really. The food sucks, the service sucks.. yet the place was PACKED to the brim! Can't believe it man! Imagine it was so squeezy that you can't move your chair as the other party's chair is back to back against yours! Come on.. even the blind could see that it was very OBVIOUS that all the shop cared for, was making money. If I were to open a restaurant like this and intend to squeeze so many bodies into one shop.. then the very least I could do is, to offer to serve you the food to your table. That is what I'll call service!

So that's it.. never again will I patronize this lousy shop. Heck, the food wasn't even tasty... I'd rate the soup taste a meagre C. Compared to this shop, I think 小样儿 (mongolian steamboat) wins hands down anytime. Soup tasty and nutritious, meat flavorful and staff members polite and courteous and... they bring the food to your table! And lastly, at least I can feel some airconditioning there.

smelly watch

i've got a smelly watch
that goes by the brand named Swatch
been with me for years, 'o trustee watch
so gotta change its strap with one that match
and then sell it off, though its surface is a bit scratched!


my smelly watch~

There was one day when I went to Causeway Points' Jacks Place to have dinner with a friend. So the waitress came to take our orders. She's cute and friendly and when we've finished ordering, she didn't went away immediately. Instead she turned to me and asked, "Hmm... may I know what time is it?" I was like quite blur and obediently looked at my smelly watch (of course it wasn't that smelly then!) and told her the time. Then she flashed out her watch and voila, both of us wearing the same watch! How coincidental was that? Heh, so this is the story of my smelly watch! Hopefully hers is doing much better than mine!

Current Playlist

Here are some of the songs that I'm listening to at the moment:

1. Fort Minor's Where'd you go
2. Tanya Chua's 深信不疑
3. S.H.E's 觸電
4. Gary Cao's 刮目相看
5. Jun Yang's 沙沙的谁

I like the catchy chorus for "Where'd you go" and "深信不疑". You know, those things that can keep playing in your head. Of couse, S.H.E's new song is what I look forward to as one of their fans. Currently this song is also enjoying ample playtime on yes933, which may or may not be a good thing because too much of it might turn people off instead. For Gary's song, it was the theme song for the TV series "CID", which ended its run like about a week or two ago. Very nice song. Jun Yang's song also not bad, easy on the ears with good pop value. All his fans will not be disappointed, especially those legion of young females! (Although I don't quite understand the title... what does 沙沙的谁 means? Sha Sha who?!)

大众脸

你知道吗？我一定是有一个超级大众脸。。。
今天，有两位不认识的老师都跟我讲that我很面善。

老师A：我觉得我好像在那见过你。。
我：是吗？我也觉得你很面善
老师A：你是在哪间学校教过书？
我:没有
老师A：在教育部做过？

老师B：erm..我是不是在那里见过你？
我：可能吧
老师B：有没有来过我的学校？
我：有
老师B：那，你见过我吗?
我:不太记得..可能见过

好吧。。我就任命吧。。。我确实有一张大众脸！名字也超级普遍。。满街都是！

ghost whisperer

Nice show. I like these soppy shows. Yesterday cried non-stop during its first episode. Hmmm...I'm a sucker for all these emotional stuffs. Blame it on the mole beneath the eye. What a cry-baby!

gina, haf you found my blog yet?

heh, didn't realize that all these while.. gina could have found this blog. if only.. she ever clicks on my nick that i had left sprawled all over her blog.

if ever, you are here... do leave a message, so that i can sleep smiling tonight, knowing you had finally found this site.

it aint so bad

Hey hey hey, got the blue nylon snip snip snipped away! Hooray! It only took the doctor about 5 minutes to ask, looked at the problem and another 5 seconds for him to cut away that dreaded thread. It only hurt like a tiny eeny bit, so it wasn't that bad. But the waiting time is still very long, close to an hour. But anyway, I'm thankful that its over now!

eek, one more stitch!

Shucks man... remember I had my appendics operation some time ago. Well, I did have the stitches removed, about 3 weeks after the op. But later noticed that there was one that had gotten away. Perhaps I was naive to think that probably, it was stuck amongst the scab that will dry up later. So many months later, which is now... I've realized that hey.. there's one more stitch on my belly button. You can't miss it. Blue nylon string... and nylons are hardy, aren't they?

Aunt Fiona says I should like get it removed... or else it'll get embedded into the flesh and then, god knows what they'll have to do to remove it (maybe they'll have to cut open the flesh?). So now I'm wondering whether I should go back to the same clinic or any other place. Since I'm working like a mad person these days, the only time I can afford is likely weekends. But I have a question. Are the weekend nurses any different from the weekday ones? Maybe they'll put part time nurses during weekends, since traffic is not so high on Sundays?

Oh man, I think I'm just scared. Ok, no more dilly dally. Will get it done today. Wish me luck!

free lunch?

Is there anything such as free lunches in this world? Heh, probably there is, if you happen to know me and is in my list of good kids. Just kidding. But I don't mind giving out treats, once in a while (if I can afford it). And if you happen to be the lucky recipient, a simple thanks will do. No need to feel bad or indebted or whatsoever.

But heh, I do have an ulterior motive... You'll know it when the time comes. Or I hope you can be as generous when the time comes. Hopefully, on the days when I am down and out and cannot afford a meal or two, you'll come forward and treat to lunch or dinner. In this way, I won't die of hunger and can still feel the warmth of human kind in times of need.

So here's to a better world, and really... there is no such thing as free lunch. Same as, there wasn't any goldilocks, nor rapuntzel, nor ....
