Exhibition-of-the-Day

Getting better! Went to Orchard Central to see HY's exhibits! Had sushi lunch/dinner!

Happy Birthday pQ!

What a touching card/present you mailed over.

EEK! Hehe.

Bug-of-the-Day

Grr... I was supposed to be at a family outing at the yearly Adidas sundown hotel vacation! Went out for sushi dinner but still terribly weak. Just walking could kill me!

Bug-of-the-Day

There goes my public hoilday and the weekend! Laying in bed...

Bug-of-the-Day

Went to work, fully lerthagic again!

Bug-of-the-Day

Went to work but I really shouldn't have. Lerthagy followed like a shadow.

Bug-of-the-Day

Two days MC for yesterday and today. In bed all day.

Bug-of-the-Day

Grr. I actually caught the virus my brother had, even though he had a mask. Genes. Susceptible to similar bugs. Started with a cough in the night then it just started coming with a new symptom each day (headache, fever, bodyache, phlegm, diarrhea, huge ulcers, etc) and with the complication of catching bacteria at work. This is Day 1 of the 9-day-really-sick-period.

Events-of-the-Day

Morning: SSA Monthly Shoot (363/400: 89, 87, 91, 96). In my last 15 shots: one 8, four 9s and ten 10s. Yay.

Afternoon: We visited Resorts World Sentosa! Just walked around. Gosh, Universal Studios is so popular that you can't buy tickets on the spot (sold out). And the carpark is HUGE! They even haven tram services around the carpark. LOL. The best part is that there's a Hershey's shop there!!! I love it! The first time I visited a Hershey's shop was in New York!

Evening: Watched Shrek Forever After at Balestier! Gosh, that was a huge tub of popcorn (bought it due to the Citibank discount).

Some thoughts:

The coolest kids in T&F weren't the ones who led all the the way. They were the ones who got bashed up at the starting line, fell, stood up and ran faster than ever. Today I finally managed to practise something I've being trying since I was 15. As Audrey would put it, "believe". You'd never believe the amout of effort this kid took to knock that into my head. The things which others put in your head that stick.

P.S. Sony Ericsson's Xperia X2 takes excellent quality pictures! Photos in today's post were taken by X2.

Hmm-of-the-Day

Spent the day doing home admin. Was too lazy to leave the house (was supposed to train due to the impending monthly in a month whereby I haven't really touched my gun). I'd say I spent the time well though!

Dinner-of-the-Day

Had dinner at Zen at East Coast. The food there is really good. Later at night, I got addicted to Solitaire!

Angels by Augustana

Oooh Woahoh
Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Or would I take it all back if
If I find something new?

I know there's something out there
I know there's something I fear
Run away from here
I know there's something more to this
In this dark room, nothing that shines
Run away from here

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Or would I take it all back if
If I find something new?

I'm falling, I am down
I've fallen, are you around?
And I know it's you
I'm leaving, I'm with me
I'm leaving, tell me the truth
And I know it's you

Will I fight with an angel
Will I leave here with you
Will I take it all back if
If I find something new

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new

Oooh Woahoh (Repeat x15)

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new

Would I fight with an angel
Would I leave here with you
Would I take it all back if
If I find something new
Yeah

Will I fight with an angel
Will I leave here with you
Will I take it all back if
If I find something new
Yeah

Would I fly with an angel
(Fly with you...)
Would I leave here with you
(Fly with you...)
Would I take it all back if
(Fly...)
If I find something new
(Fly...)

Oooh Woahoh

Vegging-of-the-Day

Spent the evening catching up on TV: Merlin & Flash Forward. *yawnz*

Training-of-the-Day

Went training today! Tired tired!

Hmm-of-the-Day

Digging ears can be a risky phenomenon! Good to note that ear wax migrates out of the ear canal on its own! Scary!

Dinner-of-the-Day

Celebrated my birthday with HY at Au Petit Salut. LOVE the food there. HY bought me a new phone! Sony Ericsson Xperia (X2). Good choice.. I'm not exactly an iPhone fan. It was a happy evening!

Babysitting-of-the-Day

HY and I were on babysitting duty this evening! Cooked dinner and watched The Lovely Bones.

I expected it to be a thriller about how a spirit leads her family to discover who her murderer was. However, as HY put it, it was rather Catholic-chy (yay!). Her spirit is trapped in her "perfect world" where she watches over her family but she refuses to move on to "heaven", sounds like purgatory to me. The show had a surrounding theme of "moving on" and "forgiveness" and how finding the murderer doesn't matter since "everybody dies". It's vengeance vs the healing of her family.

Dinner-of-the-Day

Dined with HY and my family at Serenity to celebrate my birthday! Serenity is a spanish restaurant at Vivo. Drank Sangria (finally). I enjoyed the food and the company a great deal!

Hmm-of-the-Day

One of Singapore's greatest men passed away today.

Dinner-of-the-Day

Had dinner at Bali Thai this evening! Quiet evening.

Song-of-the-Day

She Has No Time by Keane

You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Think about the lonely people
Then think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Lonely people tumble downwards
My heart opens up to you
When she says

She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time

Dinner-of-the-Day

Had dinner with Cedarians at Crystal Jade Ginseng Chicken & BBQ. Interesting, I didn't know they had a such a buffet. Not too bad but I think their Chinese food is much better. Reasonably priced!

Hmm-of-the-Day

Working life - you work hard for 5 days and get 2 days a week to recuperate.

School life - you work hard for 4 solid months and get at least a month long holiday to recuperate.

I like larger blocks. More motivational.

Which do you prefer?

Movie-of-the-Day

Iron Man 2!!!

Nice. (",)

Attended Horatius' 4th birthday party! =)

Movie-of-the-Day

Watched Ip Man 2 today. Nice nice!!! Can't remember the last time I watched a chinese movie on my own accord. Wah, this week is Chinese week man! Watched Ip Man 1 last weekend while we babysit Teresa.

So cool, I's like to learn kung fu too. Was banned in primary school (father thought it was tooguyish). Wanted to learn kung fu in Sec 1, then I went to Cedar.. and running became my life. Eat, sleep, dream running.

Course-of-the-Day

No wonder. Citibank is called 花旗银行 in chinese. Haha.

Course-of-the-Day

More Chinese today. Glad it's conversational Chinese. I'm writing everything down in hanyu pinyin.

Course-of-the-Day

Learning Biz mandarin these 3 days (on my own accord, no kidding).

Some time back, I did an "interview" with my Cedarians in chinese and I can't say a thing about my work (what company I'm in, what I'm doing, etc) in mandarin. And again at the shooting range, someone conversed with me in Chinese about my work and stuff and I couldn't explain in Chinese (nor in English due to language barrier). So, the purpose of me attending the course is to learn how to talk about myself and work in Chinese.

Today, we learned about Chinese history.

Movie-of-the-Day

Watched The Last Song (Nicholas Sparks) this evening. An M1 Box Office event where it costs only 400 points to redeem a pair of tickets!

...-of-the-Day

It's quiet in the streets now, but you're screaming in your head.

Movie-of-the-Day

Watched Kick Ass this morning! Funny/entertaining movie!! Made a mistake the other day! I booked tickets for 0355 (i.e. 3.55 am thinking it was 3.55 pm (I missed the highlighted text saying that show time format was in 24H format). It was too late in the night to have a clear mind!

Quite funny episode yesterday. We headed to Cineleisure to collect the tickets to find out it was at 0355. Anyway, we went to NUS and Vivo to burn some time before meeting HY's friends. Made an illegal U-turn which costs $70. Ouch. Folks, the U-turn warning about camera surveilance at the Sentosa gateway area is not a hoax. We didn't see it on that day of course, only saw the sign another day after receiving the fine notice.

Notice that bulky headphones are back in fashion for the teens. Just a thought.

Hmm-of-the-Day

Mayday-Mayday-Mayday!

A distress signal derived from French (m'aider) meaning "come help me".
