snappy snappy

i've been lazy to blog.
but decided to drop in some updates while waiting for the Old Navy webbie to load .
*sheepish grin*

spent V-day with the Chickies and Hoochie at Boon's place.
played mahjong.
how romantic. haa.

our pizza wasn't delivered on V-day, so we decided to have pizzas for dinner on Monday.
and we conveniently popped by Tiff's, Coach and Kate Spade.
luckily we did not conveniently buy something... yet.


2009.02.23
KTV day!
wrapped up with work, 
headed to Boon Lay to wait for mr ma.
by the time we arrived home, i already fell asleep in the car.

i had a dramatic week at work.
waaaayy dramatic.

anyhoos, took a short nap and got ready for our KTV.

fetched Hoochie at Tampines to meet Shan and the rest at Liang Court.
picked up some stuff from the stores and went to the KTV.
the room's blardy cold. we were all shivering.

had dinner at Brewerkz.

we then left ms wong and mr ham to lo-man-tik on their own.


2009.02.23
our Chick Flick evening at Cineleisure.
the girls grabbed their quickie dinner at Pasta Mania
then we scurried over to the theatre for our movie;

He's Just Not That Into You.
WE LOVE.

afterwards, we headed over to Swensen's for EARTHQUAKE before heading home on the same cab.

Random Ranting

a totally random thought struck me this morning whilst stoning working in the office.

i realized i've become smarter in some ways,
and dumber in others (or is it)...
all thanks to the advancing technology

i log in to the interwebs (LOLSpeak for internet) daily to check on the news.  smart.
spot an unfamiliar word? mouseover the favorite Dictionary.com bookmark for the answers. smart.
convenient browser tools allow readers to bookmark the article and come back to the article after to where u stopped after taking a poop. smart.

lo and behold, u can even bring the news to the toilet!
(without having to fumble with flipping the pages with ur poo-infested fingers)
i.e. if u're still within the range of the wifi network. smart.

if everything's so smart (and fast to boot) then what's so wrong?
read here..

Newly awarded Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing has used her acceptance speech to tell the world that the internet makes us dumb.  

According to Lessing, who was too old and ill to make the speech herself and instead had someone else read it out, the inanities of the internet have seduced a generation, and we live in a fragmenting culture where people read nothing and know nothing of the world.  

It gets better, apparently if you study “computers” you lack culture as well: 

We are in a fragmenting culture, where our certainties of even a few decades ago are questioned and where it is common for young men and women, who have had years of education, to know nothing of the world, to have read nothing, knowing only some speciality or other, for instance, computers.


The Guardian has the full text of Lessing’s speech here


then, there's my favorite part: The Rebuttal.


It's Not The Internet Making People Dumb... It's Other People Who Benefit From You Being Dumb

from the agnotology-at-work dept

There have been various attempts to claim that the internet makes people stupid, though that seems difficult to support in actuality. As someone recently sent to me (uncredited, tragically -- so someone feel free to claim it!): "the internet doesn't cause stupidity, it just makes your stupidity more obvious to others." However, it does need to be admitted that there are a ton of ridiculous ideas online with no factual basis -- and some people cling to those ideas fervently. This certainly goes against the early utopian theories of the internet that said making more information available to people would help fight ignorance.


The full story here

... and yes, i must add, multi-tasking is yet another smart quality in the technological age.
i just lurrrrve page-hopping on the browser while chatting on MSN & Skype and doing my work in my email & CRM client all at the same time!!!

LUNAR NEW YEAR II

2009.01.31
lunar new year gathering sessions continue.

this time at my aunt's house. 
had yummy Tom Yam steamboat and grilled curry flavored fish. 
yummo!

NeuNeu came by much later in the evening after the session at his house with his relatives ended.


2009.02.01

another gathering at Godmom's place but not before we pop by my aunt's shop for the opening.

witnessed the 3rd Lion Dance within a mere few days of new year. though this one's much more spectacular than the previous.

back at Godmom's house, it was more eating, gambling and yada yada yada.

then back to my house again for more mahjong.

also, on this same day, we received news that Yongmei has given birth to a healthy baby girl, Clarice.


2009.02.02

i was scheduled to work today but woke up at 8am when i was supposed to turn up for work at 7am. 
holy cow. 
luckily i managed to contact another colleague for a last-minute swap.

so we drove back to his place and met up Alex and Penelope for a quick (and late) breakfast session. and later in the afternoon, we drove NeuNeu's mom to the temple, by the time all the rites and rituals ended it was already 3pm.

after sending his mom and Glenneth home, we went straight to KK Hospital to visit Baby Mathias and Clarice. thereafter, we sent Yongmei and Loh Wei back to Clementi after they were told to be discharged.

i can hardly remember what happened the rest of the day.
prolly just MORE GAMBLING like any other day of the new year.

then it was back to work from Tuesday to Saturday.


2009.02.08

'twas househunting day and NeuNeu's cousin & his financee's chalet at Chevron.

like i haven't stretched myself out enough for the past 2 weeks, i still had to dig myself out from bed in the morning. 
upon arrival, we combed around the area, then had breakfast in haste at a neighborhood coffeeshop, continued the search then rushed over to pick his gramps up from Jurong.

had a 3-hour KTV session with his family, brief buffet lunch, then i was off to take the public transport home myself to join my family for the 3rd Lo-Hei of the new year.
dozed off amidst the crowd on the train while standing
yes, i too am amazed by my undiscovered innate ability.


2009.02.09

bad bad day.

started off with missing out Sel's poodle in the VS order
which i only realized today and luckily managed to re-order with the poodle. phew.

prolly due to lack of sufficient rest, the headache started acting in. 
not only did the afternoon nap not reduce the pain, it actually made it all worse.

i'm so stressed out!!!
*yells at the top of my voice*

headed straight for bed and smothered my ass in the depths of my blanket.


2009.02.10


feeling much better after N hours of sleep. i lost count but it must've been quite long.
decided to take things easy and slack around at home.

watched Behind Enemy Line with NeuNeu, then continued to nap all the way till dinner time.

declined my bro's offer for mahjong for it will foil my plans for a stress-free day.


... and now, i'm a happy cat again!
