family day...tired..(the real saturday 13th august post)

early in the morning at six o'clock...

dad wakes me up for?? a jog..OMG!!!!!

well recently my family is into this wellness thing and i seriously take my hats of my mum who i haven seen runnig in like all the years in my life.. and she actually participates in this with vigour..
well i was online till about 11 the previous nite.. so i was a little exhausted... so i shrugged about in bed.. and trying to get back to bed(which is utterly effortless).. and just as i was fallin back into my comfy,cool and sleep inducing sleep environment.. my dad would come by and say i should wake up liao lah..
time to go joggin lah..

finally i got to my feet and dragged myself to the sink where i brushed and washed up as usual..you would be amazed wat cold water does to oneself in the morning.. with splash of water to the face it totally refreshes.. but it was utterly temporary..i elt slugish the moment i when to the living room.. and slumped into the couch i dozed off again..haha

well after i got changed and we finally moved off.. i thot i was goign to fall asleep on the running track..but.. i didn't.. the fresh air helped..

after i did my laps.. we all got home where me my dad and i washed up again and headed out for breakfast..(my sisters were still dead asleep..hehe)

had yong tao foo and my mum's fav joint nearby..she kinda likes it for the soup..for me i feel its all the same..

an obsured view of the stall..


right in the midst of flats ..heartlanderish feel.. (warm and fuzzy)


my mum and my dad..waiting for food (which takes a while).

after hearty breakfast and a hot teh... we headed home only to go out again..sigh.. (feel like sleepign but i can't arghhh!!!

so we headed to unch at this cins looking restaurant in boon keng.. the foods ok.. and the decor is not bad.. but the price however was crazy.. it was fantastic value for money considering it was ala carte buffet.. and it only cost about 15$ per person..


the entrance.. or exit..


the overall decor


sista with my phone..

......

shortly after that we headed to marina.. which my mum hasn't been to since before its makeover


love the lights at center stage


how i wish myhouse in future had a view like this..


or waking up to this every morning.. or maybe the sea too...hehe


mom and sis were shopping and i was left to be BORED!!!!!


found this shirt from pony.. thot it was nice.. but my mum said it was "too black"...


somemore funky eye wear i found.. haha


and i found this at barang barang.. a 300o$$$ day chair..imagine sitting on 3 thousand dollars everyday.. i will sit on it even if i got piles man..(or maybe not.. haha)

till i blog again,..

pallavi's birthday..

lets see.. it was abirthday that few would have ignored..hehe..pallavi is like my little sista.. always poked at her for fun.. and most of the tie.. it would leave her fuming mad with a trail of smoke to her head..hahahha..

well it was suppose to be a celebration at her place cos her sista was organising some party.. but it just happens that we all had things to do.. and got all held up.. so we just sat down someplace for tok ..

here's the long awaited pic.. hahahha


happy birthday!!!
(notice the handsome guy in green??hahahahha)

late morning.. early nights..

another day of late warkings and early nights..maybe..

and even went i awoken late today ..i still had time for alittle net surfing before i left the house..so flicked on my com and headed to brush and wash up as it started up..

had the pan heated as i brushed up and rinse..next i cracked two eggs and added some dried shrimp to the mixture as i commenced the frying..after cooking the egg on both sides.. i turned the flame down to low heat.. and let the egg sizzle till its golden and nicely done...next was the coffee was made and cooked some noodles..

after a hearty breakfast i took my coffee and commenced my dailt surfing exercise..it felt lovely to do thinks like that.. without anythig to push you along and constant breathing down you neck about hurrying up and so forth...

just then i came across this piece of graphic that illustrates explicitly wat kind of world we are living in.. and the word is decidedly : MAD


gosh.. if my kid was like this.. i would feel like e failure of a parent man..

well kids nowadays .. they seem so helpless.. at least from the graphic above..cos form it.. it just makes you think how the parents never got close enough with the kid to ever know wat he is doing and furhter more it makes the kid look like he or she suffered so much that the above could almost be deemed as some suicide note.. or a pre-death confession..

hope the world could put its paces down.. for the sake of its own good...

till i blog again..

after national day...

its the 1oth august.. and its a school day.. i thot my lesson starts at 8 am so i rushed out of my house early in the morning and actaully manage toget to school in pretty good time..then i rushed to the class room and noticed that the class looks very different..cos the pple are all so unfamiliar.. then i realize i got in the wrong class.. but i checked my timetable.. only then did it dawn upon me that its the wrong day that i was looking that day.. i actually reach school at 8 for day which lessons start at 11.. i felt so stupid.. (in truth i am so far from it.. hahahha)..

so i stupidly strolled to the library where i sat down doing my report..and doing all my misc stuff..
after which i when to the basement to finish a dvd a borrowed..well life could not get any "better"..
or so i thot .. i went for class.. and sat through it.. and later wen with colin to mac meet some guy who wants to acquire his laptop..but colins insecurity made him hesitate but in the end he supposedly did..

just then my bag broke....sigh..well not the whole thing.. just the buckle..so from mac we took a bus to orchard where i sent my bag to zinc..at far east..and what stunt me most was that repair was free..i was lost for words.. cos considering the bag cost me only $30++ i would say the service is really good..

good service aside.. the result was bad.. i had to carry all my files and books using plastic bags.. boohoo..haha..well it just lacks the security of a proper bag.... so till i actually get my bag back.. i shall be stuck with my good'ol deuter....

so with heavy bag me and colin strolled through town.. we went pass shaw and saw this bunch of really nice bikes.. pictures below..

the KTM duke 640lc.. so nice.. ahha

love the lights and pipes.. but abit like the copy of the recent yamaha yzf-r1 or fazer


some yamaha scrambler.. but could not tell model cos they all look about the same to me.. hehhe


reliving my childhood??... notice how suave i look on the bike.. hahhahahaha

and this day was pallavi's birthday but i haven got the pics yet.. will get them posted asap..
till i blog again..

hehe

national day..equals???

holiday??

rest day??

slack day???

forget day??

well today i was on my way to orchard with my parents for lunch.. national day in my family is most appropriately rest day.. i dunnot really expect too much excitement and surprises from my family.. cause they are really the realisitic sort who really could bother with making life a tad bit more colourful.. ok they are not that bad.. but going out to lunch could be hell.. cos my mum especially does not have a particualr inclination to other form of cooking apart from the oriental and even then only mostly cantonese dishes appeal to her.... and form there the price must be right.. people who read this please do recommend something.. or some tips please..

well today went to orchard and got a new place to try..called the hu cui by crystal jade..my mum loves crystal jade kitchen... so for her to try was not that difficult. but when we finally got there i almost fainted at the price tag.. well it was more expensive then wat i expected.. but well my dad said since we were they .. we'll give it a go..so there we were at this really posh looking restaurant.. gosh you have no idea.. its like fine dining.. where there is not much noise and everyone keeps their volume down..and all the cutlery are all set very nicely and of really good quality as well..it was really extravagant dining... and the food is oooooooiiiiiiiiisshhhhiiiii..hahha.
wel thinking alone is making me salivate.. ahha

pics below..


main entrance..not very conspicuous.. and looks abit the zen-like..


another angle to show you the grandeur of the setup.. the pedestal set all the way in with the darkish classy look.. damn is awe-inspiring...


the dining area..super.. well overall at least..

so we sat our asses down and prepared to feast.. things were not bad.. and infact delicious.. although the fish was a little too spicy for my palate..hmm


the after math.. hahaha

after i got back home got online and proceeded to do a seemingly stupid thing.. but i put my alias on google searched.. found a famous photograher with the same name.. and loads of canine buddies..gosh.. i am feeling doggish now.. ahhaa..roof*

well was browsing slowly.and came across a short excerpt from my friend's blog..which i read ages ago.. and thot it pretty funny..try reading adn you'll know why..

hope she does not sue my for copyrights.. haha

sorry seems NOT to be the hardest word
---

Is it just me , or is the word being used incessantly nowadays ?

I have people profusely apologising to me over the slightest ( or even non-existent ) wrongdoings.

For goodness sake , i am NOT a tyrant !

Shawn.B called me just now while i was in the shower and when i returned his call he was a picture of guilt and panic

Fiona : Shawn , you called ah ?

S.B : Yup.. You're busy huh ?

Fiona : No lah.. Was in the shower. Whats up ?

S.B : Oh... Sorry leh i didn't know you were in the shower ..

Fiona : Err.. Okay.. So you called me for..?

S.B : Huh ? No lah.. Regarding Eugene's BBQ lor.. Eh.. Sorry leh.

Fiona : Sorry what ?

S.B : Sorry for disturbing you while you were in the shower lor..

Which i thought was really funny because

1) How on earth could i have been disturbed by his one single call which i did not hear , much less pick up ?

2) I sounded really jolly and in no way did my voice had the slightest semblance of annoyance.

And then there was J.

I don't know why on earth he gave me roses for because we've known each other for the longest time and have seen each other in the worst light ( like him scratching his ass while peeing at Ros' chalet and me forming a damp patch on a pillow with my drool while sleeping which is AN ISOLATED INCIDENT )

So i called him.

Me : Eh , thanks for the roses ah. Very nice.

J : No prob.. You like it ?

Me : Yup.. thanks again

J : I thought you prefer lilies ?

Me : Aiyo , its the thought that counts man !

J : Sorry leh.. I didn't really think when i got the roses.

Me : Its okay lah ! Its nice what !

J : Really ? But i think you will prefer lilies lor .. Sorry..

Me : I SAID I LIKE IT MEANS I LIKE IT LAH NABEI COCKANATHAN YOU I SAY WHAT I MEAN OKAY U PUNDEK !

Okok , so the last sentence was made up.

I guess the apologies were to fill up the awkward voids in conversation but it was quite embarrasing to hear someone apologising once every few seconds.

But of course , none of them can beat Myloh in apologising.

He definitely wins hands down !

A made-up example of an online conversation :

Myloh : Are you there ?

Me : Yeah.. Hold on.. Typing out some assignment stuff

Myloh : Sorry ..

--3 minutes later without any reply from me-

Myloh : Sorry again...

Me : Don't be sorry for nothing lah !! Wait ah , im going back to my assignment :)

Myloh : Okay.. sorry..

--- 2 minutes later without any reply from me-

Myloh : Sorry to have disturbed you just now..

Myloh : Really sorry ...

LOL.

Shitte , maybe its time i start potraying myself as a "Hubby , what would you like to drink for breakfast tomorrow ? Hubby , do you want a foot massage ? Hubby , would you like me to be on top or below tonight ?" kind of girl . Yep , the passive and submissive type whose life revolves around the man in her life .

Why ?

Because , this is the kind of girl nobody ever apologises to. Who cares about her temper ? What can she do even if she throws a tantrum anyway ? Run to a corner and whine ?

Maybe i really do give out provoke-me-and-you-are-gonna-be-so-fucked vibes.

Really , i'm not.

One should refrain from apologising unless the situation really calls for it as a remedy , because it loses its credibility and sincerity if used too often .

to infinity and beyond.. nah... but i'll blog again.. ciao

saturday freeze..

its like 8 am in the morning... regular hours for waking up when my dad is around...gosh..

well.

it was supposed along day.... just did not realise how long..well it was meeting up with andrea and her friends for some stuff at orchard hotel.. some edu fare on education from poly to u..
its the same old.. where lecturers try to subconciously psycho into their university..well some of the prfessors or lecturers are pretty nice and informative.. alot dun even know where the things are in their prospectus..

in the end of the day. was sloggin off around town with a stack of prospectus was really beginning to wear me off esp in singapores blistering weather..gosh.. well yes its good reference material but it was something that could rival the thickness of the lexican thesaurus.. but it was still bearable so we slogged on..

we stopped for desert at this store called hui lao san.. good mango stuff.. absolutely rich and totally sinful.. luckily the coconut milk did not give anyone of us anytrouble..hehe

followd by a stroll to montbalnc where grace was looking for a 75th anniversay edition mont blanc..

then it was off to bugis where you will see the below pics.. harbin winter paradise..gosh it was cold.. a pig in there will stay edible for months man..
well -10degrees.. you do the math..
it was kinda strange to experience such cold and as it got longer it got colder.. but i had to agree the slides were fun.. and so was the crapping and joking we all did..soon we were all trying to get warm.. so we got out.. for a meal..folowed by another round of fun in the cold..before we headed offf..

brrr...


me of course.. who else..hehe


andrea and her hubbs


nothing else to take so we did this..haha


andrea was driving and.....


the whole bunch..plus some punk who poked in so i chopped his head of.. nah...hehe:P


andrea trying to fit into the seventh month theme...


andrea desperade for her lesbian side.. could not grope real ones so she went for ice carved ones of the poor little mermaid who in this picture is not that little.. hahahaah

after our little escapade in the "paradise" we felt kinda horrible.. ahha.. most caught a slight chill and we were feelign weary so instead of gogin for fireworks we went home.. or supposedly so.. when i decided to meet up with my parents..cos they were in town.

and wat blog would be complete without an exotic ...today we have an italian..all sexy curvy and horsy??
haha


spotted in the carpark..just opp my dads car..well its not rare.. but its still a maserati 4200 gt.. although i would prefer the 3200 but it was still a beaut... till i blogg again..


........

good bad day..

confession: i finally know why i like the movies..

wake up about 9+ a luxury that is not afforded by many well woke up and got to abit of surfing and to my washing up then my big morning business and a hearty breakfast of eggs and a noodles (carbonara and spaghetti NOT maggi) then it was off to school..

first lesson and the last.. haha..i mean how many pple would go for lecture every friday from 1200 to 1300.. most pple would say i am nuts.. but sory i dun relaly ponteng lesson.. in fact i think i only pon i lesson before in my life so far..
hehhe

well lesson was not all boring but it kinda got to us like its really dry .. so at first we (the students) are mostly engrossed in the lesson with our eyes open and our necks craning like earnest learners craving for more information.. but soon we got crappy..and soon we started gettin restless... soon the mischief starts.. hehe


nadia and the stereotypical girlly act cute pose.. hahah


sumitha and nadia..and the new fad.. headscarfs??haha(just kidding.. al qaeda.. dun kill me..)


nadia demonstrating the disadvantages of keeping a pony tail.. hahahaa


the "forbidden pic" but who cares.. haha.. well here is nadia looking like wat she could be in twelve.. maybe thirteen years time.. haahah


well it was over and was suppose to meet my friend but he got tired so when was thinknig of wat to do.. cos got quite abit of time on my hands.. so i was thinking of maybe goign to town for a drik and some reading or a movie perhaps..

then i was thinking maybe i would just go crash my other friends lecture since they were having a make up lesson that evening.. it was biochemical techniques by miss yee.. she was so fun and had me grinning cos she was almost teletubbiyish when she taught the class.. to a certain extent you really wonder if she is our lecturer..haha.. but she kept atmosphere in the class quite "high???" everyone was laughing or was chatty at lesat in her class not like in some other classes where pple look like halibut out of water.. haha

so it was off time and so of i went.. and incidentally i dropped at cine when i was actaully intending to go to borders.. so i thot.. just head down and see wats in store..as with alll my outs i always see really nice cars.. and today it wa sa bumper harvest but too bad most were on the road and my phone got super flat..so sad.. boohoo.. well lets see in front of meritus was a white gt3 that i featured in an earlier entry and infront of it was a bright yellow lamborghini gallardo.. the "on the road"s were two slks.. brand new with sfv plates.. and youg punks who look like freash grads in them..boy i was awwwed..cos they were in tandem almost..lastly was 360 moden challenge stradale which went past me when i was waitng for my bus home..

well at the movies i was almost not too sure why i was they cos i was not even sure if any movie was released at all.. ao i went to check it out.. then i saw the wedding crashers..and since it was at the right time i bought a tic.. only a handful were left when i bought the tics the rest were all fornt end seats...so i got the tic and waited for the show to start got myself sitted and the shows began....it was like normal until the shows began.. was always a fan of the films with vince vaughn in it .. so far at least.. like starsky and hutch or be cool and such..well this wasa great laugh.. had a hell of a time.. esp when certain themes were so in the face in this movie that lead me gawking ang laughing like crazy..well they was this gal who was making all the right noises throughout the whole movie and she seem to brig the whole lot of pple in the cinema..

well after this session in the cinema i realised why i still patronise cinemas instead of broodily waiting for dvds.. cos the atmosphere can get reallly coool sometimes.. and one treand i noticed is that the people who got to cathay cineleisure are a much better crowd than say gv or lido.. cos i watched madagascar in all the cenimas before and eng wah as well and so far.. only cineleisure made me feel relaxed and that i could actaully laugh out loaud at such movies.. while the other cinemas were kind of suffocatin....oh not forgettin to mention the gal who made all the right noises was foreign.. so i guess that explains it.. hahahah..

well there after i got home and here i am typing it out..

goign to sleep..zZzzZZ!!!
