Yesterday

Will picked me up after work yesterday morning n we had our breakfast at pasir panjang.

yes, that's him waiting for his prata.
he looked like he's gonna stab the chef any minute, doesn't he?

no wonder they say "a hungry man is an angry man".

oh, here's mine:

fried bee hoon with egg
SGD 1.50

the noodles has bits of chopped chili padi n spring onions in it. yum.



as planned, we headed to Vivocity for the show after lunching at home (not forgetting the very essential nap after 12 hours of work). i've got lots to rave about the movie although it made me really upset for the whole night.

the rain made things worse coz we can't go to Labrador Park for dinner.
in the end had to make do with some muslim food at Labrador Villa Road. it wasn't that bad, but a tad to spicy especially when i just had a spicy breakfast.


sigh. the pace in class is getting a little too fast. i fumbled with the lab portion n i would have strangled myself there n then if there were some kind of cable within my reach (RJ11 or RJ45 or coaxial or fiber or serial.. or ALL OF THE ABOVE!!). but there wasn't coz it's a remote lab session.

i'm having a mental block (see diagram below):

Movie Promo

usually shifts with KT would mean that he'd send me back to Simei after work
'cept this morning i arranged to meet Will to buy movie tix from GV Vivocity
so work ended on time in the morning but Will only knocks off after 8.30am
KT was really nice n sent me out to take a bus to Boon Lay

i was so wrong to presume that the ride, like on weekdays, would take an hour or so
the bus captain was already driving like a tortoise n still it took only 20minutes
to while the rest of my time away, i took another bus to his base to meet him

the drive to Vivocity passed quickly coz we were busied ourselves by bickering throughout the ride (... what's new?) n arrived at 9.15am. breakfast at Toast Box while waiting for the ticketing counter to open. i can't believe we were so kiasu.

HIM: "Aiya wasted. Forever 21 not open yet, actually wanted to buy some nice clothes for u one."
ME: "Oh, don't worry about it coz we're coming again tomorrow afternoon for movie mah."

HIM: "..."
ME: *sniggers*


oh, the reason for queuing up early in the morning?
not for discount,
not for good seats,
not for good movie (well, Tony Leung's good, for sure. *yummy*),
but for this.


mwahaha. that's $10 on top of $20 from my company for my birthday
yes, those which i stupidly forgot to use when i purchased those Biotherm stuff

so tomorrow's plan will be:
movie + Labrador Park + CCNA (boo!)

Motivation

i signed up for a nuff-nang account.
yes, it's that nifty little icon above the tagboard.

i'm secretly hoping it'll earn me enough dough for some serious shopping in Taipei come January.

anyways, according to the seasoned Taipei traveler (my brother) it'll be winter-time n finally, the under-used winter wear from last year's Beijing / Hong Kong trip can come in handy.
not that the fact will deter me from getting MORE clothes though.
i'm exhilarated from that thought alone. woohoo!!!

ok, more research to be done for that.
strange, i never seem to be equally enthusiastic when it comes to CCNA.


prior to that, we also have the Kuala Lumpur trip in December.
i guess we'll miss Qing by a week or so but hopefully we can still catch Wynn, Cheng Hoe, Jo while we're there.
i wonder if we'll be staying for Jo's birthday celebration though.
we do some serious consideration if she gives us a HUGE treat.
*hint*

only problem now...
we're still contemplating between a drive-in or train ride.


at least there's something(s) to keep me motivated for the next 4 months or so.


okay, back to facebook-ing for now.

SOS

i give up!!!
.. for now

the previous / next post navigation on blogger is hopeless.
minx n i are having a hard time trying to figure out solutions / hacks for that darn functionality.

the only good thing's that i got my permalink fixed in the process.

Night Update

a second trip to JB yesterday (Thursday) morning.
brought forward by a day coz Will doesn't have to attend the monthly brief before work in the evening.

started the day with KTV-lunch at Red Box before loitering within the mall a bit. then moved on out to Giant for car wash n some supply of munchies, BBQ gear..

unfortunately, we still didn't manage to get any My Melody car accessories in the 2 places (someone please tell me where to find them?!!!)

finally, Will spotted My Melody's air freshener at our last stop, City Square. was really sweet coz he bought it for me n of coz he allowed me to house it in the car :) typically, i purchased my dope of magazines, contact lens solution n headed home to work after the usual jam across the causeway.



oh sueann, i saw lots of ur favorite mushrooms in City Square!
took some pix will upload later for u.. i'll just charge a minimal (discounted) commission for bringing in those fungus for u.. :P

Fatigue

been very exhausted of late.
travel planning, last-minute eating/shopping trips, classes n work.

yes, mainly due to work...
been madly swapping shifts in preparation for CCNA the past month.
the thought of CCNA is already making me tired now, not to mention there's another session tomorrow evening.

being occupied is really taking my mind off negative stuff.
well, it's also taking my mind off the important stuff. the fatigue is aggravating my already-bad-enough absentmindedness. today i overlooked on my contact lens case AGAIN.
to think i actually told myself:
"Ok, i'll put this here so i'll remember to pick them up before leaving."
ya, right.

i so wanna collapse on my bed n sleep for the ENTIRE DAY!!!
not a chance.
at work tonight.
class tomorrow.
work for 4 nights.
class again.
work again.
class again.
then finally off for ONE day after ELEVEN days.

good news is that we've:
1) got the car serviced yesterday
2) confirmed another JB visit on Thursday
3) planned for Spa next Wednesday/Thursday (hopefully there's available slots)
4) confirmed KL trip to be from 26 - 29 December
5) confirmed Taipei trip to be from 23 Jan - 28 Jan

random pix for the month of September '07

i need time to reflect daily.
i need more than 24hours a day.

i need to rest without worries.
put me to sleep in ur loving arms.

Illegal access

ST, 1 Oct

AN administrator was fined a total of $15,000 on Monday for illegally accessing his former girlfriend's personal e-mail accounts and changing her password.

Lim Boon Siang, 27, was convicted last week of two charges under the Computer Misuse Act and had six other charges taken into consideration.

A district court heard that he changed the password of the e-mail account with the user name 'ocean_valley', without the consent of the account holder and accessed Ms Shirley Ang Shu Hui's yahoo.com.sg account from his Ang Mo Kio home on Jan 21.

They met while they were studying at Singapore Institute of Management and became a couple. They broke off last December.

Between 2001 and 2004, Ms Ang registered three personal e-mail accounts including 'ocean_valley@yahoo.com.sg'.

In 2003, she used her hotmail e-mail address 'ocean_valley' to register for her Friendster account.

Lim knew about her four accounts as she had communicated with him using the accounts. But she had never allowed him to use the accounts which were personal.

Sometime in January, someone posted lewd comments about her in her blog.

Lim claimed that he got to find out about the postings and wanted to know who had made them.

That was why he decided to access her accounts to find out more.

His lawyer, Mr Dinagaran, said Lim did not mean to cause any mischief to anyone but was merely trying to protect Ms Ang.


to the person who actually accessed my email thinking i never knew, this is for u...

Month-end

finally braced myself up for some blogging
fatigue is stopping me from sitting up properly on my office chair

started the day with breakfast (..probably considered lunch) at Clementi Central with Will & his mummy after spending the night at his place. headed over to Qian Hu in Lim Chu Kang to buy new fishies n fish food. so it's decided by him that they'll be named Ben & Jerry. i wonder if it's the effects of the ice-cream we had at Downtown East the night before (strange that he didn't decide to name them Cherry & Garcia though).

fell asleep shortly after waiting for him to complete the reservation for our air tix over the phone. it was not until i devoured the last bit of the Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia in the fridge with his help! woke up to a sumptuous spread of fish head curry prepared by Will mummy, washed up n it's back to work for the night.

yesterday n today...

27-Sep-07
yesterday was good.

Will brought me to Geylang after work... to the reknowned Yonghe for supper!

had my favorite fried carrot cake (it's a different version from what u get from the hawkers');
his favorite or-ah-mee-sua (Taiwanese oyster vermicelli);
and our favorite tow-hway (sweetened bean-curd)!

no you-zhar-kway (fried dough fritters) coz it was a tad too oily for consumption at night. like duh, but whatever.


went for a spin n a stroll at Kallang whilst contemplating if i should have some desserts at Komala's but decided to head home for some well-deserved rest.


28-Sep-07
we were at Giant, Tampines for the second time in the week for the unfinished grocery purchases for the class BBQ this weekend.
to think i was just telling Soph, my life is getting overly-predictable!

after dinner, Will left for class n work so i planted myself comfortably in front of the computer n messed around with the features on Facebook again.
superpoking others n doing all sort of crappy stuff.. it was fun in a crappy way..

also being a Friday today, Aly just dated me...
it's always Friday. talk about predictability.

ok, leaving to meet Aly in moments.
i miss that woman!

raspberry sundae here i come...

this is mine!!!

for the next 3 weeks,

this is mine


*evil laughter*
muahahaha

oh, did u ask "why" amidst my uncontrollable laughter?
(sorry, i was too engrossed)

coz the brother is going to Adelaide
he took my phone (with 2Gb memory)
and i took this!
