Watchmen, DASG & Fish n Co'!

Heeeey guys! It's getting late here but I wanted to make sure I made a blog though before I got too busy with other stuff later this weekend. So I'm making it at the morning time right now. Just thought I'd share a few things that had gone on last week because it was a pretty GREEAAT week. So I'm going to try and be quick here.

I'm going to start with last week Monday where I had a day off, my first ever day off on a Monday! (not like having a Monday off is anything interesting haha) and I got to see Watchmen at Downtown East E!hub again. The nearest Cathay Cineplex from home and I simply love Cathay for its comfort haha!! And a bunch of my friends were really into the show, and it's been getting much hype so I decided to go see it. Oh you know what's weird is that I somehow doubted the ticketing staff believed I was already over 18, especially since she determinedly reminded me that the show is rated M18 like an amazing four to FIVE times before and after she handed me the ticket. She even highligted the word "M18" on the ticket in yellow in front of me lol. Ah. I'd probably looked like some immature underaged kid who loves to cause trouble but haha... of course I was compelled to show my IC which has my good-looking face on it (coughs). No, no, just kidding! I'm tired. So anyway, I actually don't really like the show despite the cool superheroes and crazy visual effects. At more than 21/2 hours, it tries to cram in nearly everything and the ending feels rushed. But this blog might get insanely longer than I intend for them to be so I'm not going more into that lol.

Then last Saturday, I got to meet up with my hyper CRAAAZY DASG fanclub members to complete our project for David's upcoming promotional trip to Singapore in April (which was confirmed by Sony BMG)! We did a few recording with piano accompaniment and that was sooo cool! And it really wasn't easy to get everything right but we pushed it and once we got going I had so much fun! A lot of work went into it but it was awesome working with them. We jammed out to music, danced like idiots, and got some good exercise out of it haha. It was the energy everyone brought and even though I sweat so bad it was worth it. It started off with Sheryl's cool random idea haha and now we're working on editing it and getting everything together now, but I can't wait to see the finished product which I'm so pumped for.






So it's left with the t-shirts and banners! Oh. And some of us are involved in making a donation to a charity under David's name which is really nice. I always think about how those donations will help out, even if it's not a huge contribution. That small amount can help change someone's life one way or another. And here it is the T-shirt design by Steven.

"Let's talk about you. Let's talk about me. Let's talk about how we can be one big family..." haha. If you havent listened to this song yet, you should 'cause the lyrics are great.

Later on that evening, I got to hang out a bit with RJ "Alien" haha. And Farhan "Josh". I was a little bit hyper because I'm already dead tired heh. I think I would probably be more hyper if I wasn't. But it was uber fun hanging out with those two cool guys. Hilarious stupid and daft jokes lol. And oh my heck! I was supposed to meet them at 4 for a movie in town but I ended up meeting them like 8 haha. Sorry I know, I owe you guys one. We'll catch a movie some time soon, okay? Anyway, we had our dinner at the Glass House Fish n Co' and what's funny is that while we were eating, it suddenly struck my mind that the place doesn't accept NETS payment and I had not much cash with me. And so I ended up dragging RJ along to the nearest ATM which wasn't that near I supposed. We even entertained the thought of leaving Farhan behind to pay everything by himself haha. Are we awesome or what? Of course, we weren't so bad after all. That was really funny!! We had a good time.

Other thing that happened this week: I'm still reading James Patterson's Sundays at Tiffany's which I borrowed from Orange. It takes me so long but I'm almost finishing haha. And the other book I really want to read is Jon & Kate Gosselin's Multiple Blessings. Since I'm so hooked to their high-rated reality tv show on Discovery Travel & Living called Jon & Kate plus 8 - following their daily lives and focusing on the challenges of raising their eight children — a set of fraternal twin girls and a set of sextuplets. It's so cool seeing them handling all 8 small kids and each having totally different characters haha.

But anyway, I'm talking more than I wanted. So I better get going here. Talk to you guys later!

Song for the day: This I Promise You - N Sync.

Horse-riding, thunderstorm and more movies all in 2 days!

Heeey Eerrrrbody. It's me yet again. So last weekend was pretty exciting! I finally went to the Gallop Stable on Saturday, and that was way coool! I got the chance to try horse-riding for a bit, and oh my heck! It roooocks! It was my first time so I was pumped for that. I have a couple of pictures that I'll put up. I was a little nervous at first heh, just because I wasn't sure how the horse would react towards me, but it's not even scary when you get onto it. Ah. I must have been a little weird-looking with the helmet on, but that's ok because it was totally worth it haha. I can't really explain how it was because it was... just a really different experience. I talked to the handler who took me for the trail ride too and asked him a few things. And the next thing I know was we ended up chatting a whole lot like old friends do lol. And he told me, the horse I rode is the most obedient of them all but the horse that was used for the person before me is a little odd. Apparently, it's easily frightened by noises and it can suddenly jump upon hearing someone's talking very loudly. Then the handler even went on to complain about his job and his manager haha. It's funny, you never know how people are going to be when you meet them. But it was really neat to know how really friendly he was lol. In that way, I wouldn't felt so awkward, you know?

Oh and there was a very, verryy big thunderstorm right after that. So the trail-riding activity had to stop. And the scariest part was that the entire place is so freakishly open and the only shelter everyone had was the cafe. But even the middle of the cafe is open air sitting. There were a number of times when we could literally see the aggressive lightning struck near the cafe. It was sooo much dangerous but still, there was this caucasian family who allowed their kids to run around. There was one part when the lightning became more intense and much closer and it exploded right in the middle of the cafe. It was dang loud that all the small kids started to cry. But it was probably one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. The weirdest thing was they left the horses out in the big storm! Oh well, I can just go on about the rain, but I just don't want to go on not making much sense. Man, there're so much to talk about! But even though I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time down there at the stable, it was still really nice. Fun stuff... It was soooo much fun just horse-riding so I've really enjoyed my little time there. I want to go back soon haha! I'm just hoping it's not gonna be thunderstorm again next time.

So another thing I got to do later that day was to watch Push at the new E!Hub at Downtown East. Me and my family contemplated on watching either Watchmen or Push at first but most of them picked Push. I say the movie's fine. It's not a great movie to many others but I have an open mind to the possibilities of unrealistic movies haha. But that wasn't the only one we watched that weekend. On Sunday, all of us snuggled at my sister's house and I know it's a pretty strange choice to watch the new Street Fighter movie. But to enjoy these types of video game adaptation movies you have to lower your expectations. Looking like Chun Li or not I still think Kristin Kreuk is awesome.... and she got to speak a little bit of Mandarin in this which was cute lol.

Oh! I'll just mention one more thing before I go. This is going to sound random but that day, we also tried this new snack recipe which my mum remembered from one of the tv shows last few weeks. It's toasted bread with peanut butter, lightly coated with egg and fried. You can use jam or even nutella. It was soo addictive heh!

Well anyway, I better head out now but I'll talk to you guys later and let you know how things went this week! Probably how the DASG meetup goes to! Hasta luego.

Song of the week: Apart from David Archuleta's Barriers ("here we are lying here, it's our last final goodnight. just because it feels so good, no use pretending we're alright". I just have to sing that hah. So sorry for having David again so soon but this song is stucked in my head right now!), I'm going to add Michael Jackson's You Are Not Alone. Gotta love that song. Michael Jackson's an amazing performer and I'm glad that American Idol chose yesternight to be his week. Danny Gokey was amazing too with P.Y.T!

Birthdays, chalet and movie!

Hola. It's me here with another blog. There're so many things goin' on last week, so much to talk about but I don't want to make this a novel! so I'm going to try and summarize them haha. Last Tuesday was way exciting because I got to go out early before work to buy some stuff for Elizabeth and Farhan's birthday with my colleague, Ayu. We were sharing them together with Lindy and Orange. And the fun part was when we came to know that this cool shop we were intending to go at first wasn't opened at that time. So there and then, we were trying to figure out really quick what other good things we could buy for them. Actually we had a few really random ideas but they were pretty lame, so I'm not gonna mention them here but it was funny though. And I still think the craziest thing was that we always wanted to buy things for ourselves instead lol. After walking around, we managed to get Elizabeth a really cool stuff from Body Shop and a Clinique Happy cologne spray for Farhan. I've always liked that spray 'cause it has this really refreshing scent. Well, it wasn't that difficult to get something for a guy after all, right Ayu? lol. But Elizabeth, being really appreciative, bought for us Subway cookies to share. So that was a surprise to us cause we weren't expecting it at all. I thought it was uber cool and nice of her to do that! But anyway, I was just hoping they liked what we gave.

Last Wednesday was another extremely fun day, because I got to go to my friend's chalet at Downtown East. I was already a little sick at work before that but still I tried to go since it had been the longest time since I last went to Downtown. It was weird though 'cause the chalet was held on weekdays and not throughout the normal weekends but I had sooo much fun there. We had dodgeball for a while, a few card games and then the most craziest loudest part was the musical chairs we played! We're dorks, dang it haha. But even though I sweat so bad it was worth it. So fun stuff. And after that, I kept falling asleep lol. I was so tired. Ahh, that was when my migraine got a little worst! But I was lucky 'cause two days after which were my day offs.

Then on Friday, I got to go out with my mum and niece to watch The Outlander. I was pumped at first as it was always cool to go to the movies with my family and have a fun time doing something together. But I totally forgot that the movie was rated NC-16 and so my niece couldn't watch it. Usually the ticketing staff or whatever you call them don't bother so much but it was just that day she wasn't allowed. So me and my mum decided to watch it at night after her mum took her home after her work. And so while waiting, we hanged out at Swensens where we had something for lunch and took a lot of crazy random pictures. I shall post some up here but only some cause the rest were really crazy ones.

So back to the movie, I thought it was gonna be another great Viking Sci-Fi film since it was from the same producer as Lord of The Rings. The plot was alright and at times entertaining but it was one of the most predictable movies I've seen. I'm gonna say I quite dislike the ending.

Oh. Check out the picture below, just thought I'd share with you guys. They're actually cream puffs that my sister bought for us last Thursday. It's getting more innovative than the doughnuts we have in a lot of stores here, isn't it haha?

And before I go I just wanted to post this video taken from David Archuleta's first live concert at Virginia Beach. The song's called Zero Gravity. David is amazing amazing amazing amazing, and he sounds so GOOD live! So instead of a song for the day I think you should check him out haha! ("When things get messed up, you bring my head up, I get lost in the clouds"... I just had to sing that haha)

Zero Gravity

P.S. I'm so glad to hear that he might be coming here on April 7th! Looking forward to that. THUMBS UP for DASG for what you gonna do for him! Like the idea haha.

Well that's it for now. I've written quite a bit in this one. Sorry I can't ever make these short but I'm done now. I better get going here. So I'll talk to you guys later. Peace.

Last week:

Hey guys! It's me again and I realized I haven't had the time to make a new blog lately but... now I have haha! It's actually kinda hard to keep track of all that happened but I've always been doin' good in keepin' up with the posts right? Today, I just wanted to make a quick update on a few things that went on last week.

And so last week was my mobilization week and last Saturday was actually my first ever time being called up. I didn't think I'd be activated at first just because I wasn't during the previous mobs I had so far haha. But a friend told me two days earlier that an officer had requested him to be a part of the special support group thing and then... someone from Mindef had called a day before just to inform me that there might be a possibility of me being activated. So I just knew that it would be for real. And I was lucky enough as I had a day off on that Saturday. But I was bummed though because I wasn't able to go out on my day off haha. And it just so happened that my brother and mum decided to go out... like last minute... to shop at the Nike warehouse sale that went on at the Singapore Expo that weekend.

But this whole mobilization thing turned out to be fun. And I was only needed to reach camp within 8 hours which was a pretty long time. So before that me and my campmates were checking out with each other on what was the most "perfect" time for us to come out from home so that we could reach camp about the same time haha. But that day it really felt like I haven't wore my uniform for the longest time and there was this wedding goin' on at the void deck. So a few people happened to see me in that which was pretty embarassing. I took some pictures, but they're really lame.... so... I'm not putting 'em up haha. When I reached camp, I ran into a bunch of my friends. It was really neat to see some the old gang. And we had to pass through quite a number of counters where we had to identify ourselves with our ICs and gave our signatures. Somehow it just felt like I was travelling on CTE and I had to pay before passing any gantries haha. And after all that, what we had to do was just to unpack the things in our field pack for the officers to check and that was it, we could go home already and the entire process took me only 20 minutes! Dang it! Oh you know what's funny is when we were unpacking our things, an officer asked us if we were done and I could even said to him that I have not because I was still struggling to get some things out of my bag and then one of my friend told him that he had forgotten to bring his slippers and shoes along. But the officer said it was alright and he walked away. Sooo cool and last time all we had was only 1 minute to unpack and 1 minute to pack all the things back. And I wonder why were we sweating so bad when we could take our own time to do all that heh. Anyway, I could go on forever about that in a disorganized manner but then this would be 3 times longer and make even less sense than it already does.

So that was pretty crazy and wayyy fun but it was still really early, so I decided to cab home, got change and then joined my brother and mum. I guess those guys at the void deck who had seen me earlier might have been wondering when they saw me again and it was not even an hour passed lol. Even my brother was surprised when I gave him a call. I was a little late though cause my brother and mum were already on their way to Parkway but they said the sale was lacking of variety and they had to line up just to enter the area which kinda reminded me of the gantry I talked about earlier haha. But yeah, I'll stop talking about that. Anyway, it wasn't that bad I guess they got a few stuff like the windbreaker, sport shorts and shoes. I got myself a bit of stuff at Parkway and then we ate at Fish and Co for dinner. And so, I had a great time with that.

I realized I ate out a lot with my family last week and shopped a lot too haha. Last Sunday, I met my sister to eat at Spize again after work. And I just couldn't believe that I was the first to go off from work that day haha. Ahh, pretty surprising. And last Wednesday, I shopped for a bit again with mum and I bought a couple of bracelets/wrist bands whatever you guys call them. As some of you might have already known, I have lots of 'em at home haha. I got one from Pull and Bear recently and I really like it. Cool stuff.

All right, so before I close here, I wanted to talk just a little bit about the American Idol! So they already chose their top 36. I was at work when they showed this on tv so I wasn't able to watch it. But I had friends that were keeping me updated on what was going on haha. I was so excited to hear Danny Gokey got in. He has this soulful vibe and husky voice, and he sounds so good live! But sadly his wife passed away just four weeks before his first audition. Who do you guys root for? If you guys don't mind sharing yours feel free to! I think it's fun to know about those kinds of things. But yeah I wrote an awfully lot in this blog. So I better head out now. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye.

Song for the day: I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack
Danny sang this song for his final audition during the Hollywood week too. I think this song rocks. The lyrics. The music. Everything 'bout it. I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Check that out haha.

Thank you for the music.

Hi all! It's me again, and I'm just checkin' in with you guys here... eating sundae... haha. I really hope this isn't too late but I've been way busy this week to sit down and do my own little things. Like thanking everyone for incredibly thoughtful things you've been saying wishing me happy birthday! haha. I got a day off today so I thought it would be appropriate to do a quick entry since I haven't done one for a while. I just had my birthday last week, so now I'm officially 25. Thanks sooo much for the emails and sms-es that you guys have sent! It was way cool to know people do actually remember!!

And for the presents too. Gotta love every single one of them. But the one that had me gushing for a good five minutes was Tabi and Orange's tin container, which was way cool and creative! It's a white and orange tin that had a yellow bookmark clip outside of it and inside it contained many random small things... all in YELLOW! (and that happens to be my favorite color). Some of them were notebook and stationeries, a lemonade can drink which I haven't seen here before, lemon-flavored Fisherman's Friend, and a Toblerone bar which, as you guys know, comes in yellow packaging haha. But still the funniest, most unique thing was the yellow packet of tissue paper! And it took me a while to realise that everything was actually in YELLOW until I saw my own yellow room walls lol.

Another thing I wanted to mention real quick is that I got to celebrate for a bit with my family last weekend. We also celebrated my younger brother's birthday because his birthday's in Jan too. Pretty awesome day, we went out and I bought a cool white and blue Levi Strauss cap for my brother which, I think, is really really nice! And then my sister bought for me a Levi's tee shirt, which happened to be YELLOW lol. Oh! and those weren't the only yellow things I received for my birthday! Last friday, my mum bought me a new Logitech laser mouse since my desktop mouse got a little bit cranky lately and it's YELLOW too haha. And now looking back on it.. wow it's so weird.. but this was actually the very first time I got sooo many things in yellow for my birthday. But yeah, I'll stop talking about that.

Anyway back to my weekend, we then had Bali Thai for lunch. I've always loved the ambience which was uber nice and it had been quite some time since we went there. So we had a great time with that. I took a few pictures, so I'll try to load some up. And we bought DVDs too and one of them was No Reservations. I think it's such a cool movie.



And lastly, thanks again for all the things you guys have done for me! And hope everyone has a great time this weekend!! Sorry I can't ever make these short but I'm done. So I'll go now. I should prolly get going here. But I'll talk to you guys later.

P.S. To a few of my friends out there, you know who you are. I'm so sorry I won't be able to make it next Saturday. You guys go ahead and have fun!

Song for the day: Josh Groban - When You Say You Love Me (...when you say you love me, the world goes still, so still inside. sorry i'm singing as i'm typing this haha). Awesome song amazing vocal. So check it out if you have not 'cause it's a really good song.

Week of updates.

Hey Guys! Just wanted to share a little bit on what's going on lately. Some interesting stuff I did while I had a couple of days off. And I at least think it's interesting. So... what was really nice about it is that I've been able to spend more time with my siblings and mum. They had a few days off too. It's so nice to finally relax and hang out with them. So it started on Friday night. We went to shop for a few things because we were going to the beach the following day (we haven't done this one for a while!). And we all slept at my sister's house. There we got to watch Adam Shankman's Bedtime Stories. A bunch of my friends had suggested that I should watch. And I actually really liked it. Adam Sandler was dang hilarious. But seriously, if you have not seen the movie then you should check it out 'cause it's a really cool movie! Well, at least if you like adventure comedy it's funny.

And so... as I've mentioned, we hanged out at the beach at Pasir Ris (the one beside Downtown East) on Saturday. And we brought lots of sandwiches and stuffs made from home! It was pretty cool because I never really get to hang out with my brother and sister a lot, and do something fun with them. I was a happy camper. We got the chance to cycle for a bit and explore almost the entire area which I LOVED! haha. Gotta love outdoor adventures! Crossed a couple of bridges (I was really bummed though, the scary haunted maze isn't there anymore) and then we passed by the mangrove swamp till we finally reached Downtown East where we decided to cycle back. So I got some good exercise out of it. And there was so much to look at there. I got some pictures so I guess I should probably load those up here. Had a good time! Brothers and sisters we bond.

Oh well. Lately, I've been eating WAY too much, but hopefully I'll be able to lose some of it lol. But yeah. Sunday morning was fun because me and my family got to work out a little bit together after breakfast, which has felt amazing! I haven't really gotten the chance to go running and stuff for a while (except for swimming), so I was excited to be able to fit that in. I hope I get more of that. My brother.. he didn't follow maybe because he prefer to zap zap his tummy and zap his thighs using the uZap machine my sister have at home lol.

So another thing I got to do on Sunday was to play a few PS3 games with my niece which was a lot of fun haha. Among those were Grand Theft Auto which was way cool and The Amazing Kung Fu Panda haha! I know it's a pretty surprising choice to choose Kung Fu Panda but when I started to play the game, it was actually a pretty AWESOME game. Play it to believe it haha. And then... that afternoon, we got to hang out at the airport for a while. I remember when I was seven, I love going to the airport and imagine I'm one of those flying overseas, saying bon voyage to my family and then pretending to check in with my "travelling" bag lol. I'm such a dork haha. Anyway, my mum and my sister did a little bit of shopping there and then we had lunch. Had fun. We had a great time.

By the way, I'm gonna side track a little bit here. But I guess the bee that was wandering around here in my room earlier, has gotten into my computer's motherboard and got stucked among the fans. Sorry I know that was random, but I can hear it keeps buzzing inside haha. I didn't think that bee would get stuck inside but I guess it is... But anyway.

Ok wrapping up here, yesterday, my eldest sister came home, and it was GREAT to see my little nephew and niece again! They grow up pretty fast haha. Really glad that I was able to see them. Well so far so good memories lol. But I've rambled a lot more than I wanted to lol. And it's 2:30 in the morning, so I should prolly go to bed cos I'm feeling a little tired here. Yeah prolly you know... have some dreams here now..... 'cause I'm tired. Need to go to bed. Alright, well... have a good night or good day whenever you read this. and take care till then. I'll try and update you some more here. See ya!

Song for the day: I'll be - Edwin Mccain. I like listening to it. haha

Random post.

I guess I like to do random things with my family, especially when we were able to hang out and spend time together. Family's first so that was important haha. Just like today, we went out at 8, unsure of where to go at first no directions lol. And we ended up at Spize for dinner. If you haven't gone there yet, you should try. But that was a really, really quick and last minute decision right before we boarded the cab. There were definitely no regrets (i'm now singing No Regrets by Robbie Williams haha... sorry). Anyway it's nice just to hang out and talk, or go out for dinner or lunch together. I actually have some really random pictures on my phone, but I think it'd be fun to post them anyway just so you can see what I tried to take pictures of wandering around haha. But I'll think about it, since they're not exciting.

Okay, see you guys around. I hope I'm getting better at not rambling too much about things haha!

Song for the day: If I were a Boy - Beyonce. I think Beyonce is a great role model for those girls who may not have a lot of confidence in them. Like in her music video, she shows that women are powerful and I like that about it. Cool stuff check it out haha.

http://www.imeem.com/people/Tp4LvQ/music/yGEBdAHF/beyonce_if_i_were_a_boy/

and so,

Hey people! So this year, I've been receiving quite a handful of wedding invitations from my friends! It was really weird at first since the last one I received was in 2006 and that was like only one haha. This morning, I opened up the mailbox, which was kinda STRANGE 'cause it's always been my dad's daily mission. And I got another one. This one's a little cool 'cause it's actually a wedding invitation postcard. But it's really nice to hear from them and wow! this would mean I'm getting older, am I? lol (don't remind me). So now, I'm trying to store all these dates on my phone just in case. This would be pretty much useful especially for forgetful people like yours truly who's suffering from Mild Short-Term Memory Loss Syndrome haha.

All rightyyyy... That's enough of talking about that. Oh look at what I got from my aunt from overseas. It's called 'Hairy Berry' The Kiwifruit lol. Yeah the name's stated at the back. I put it on this Ikea wall plank above my computer and I'm looking at it now as I'm typing this. He looks funny, doesn't he? He reminds me of the show Foster's Home for Imaginary friends. Dang it I know I'm such a dork but that's my favorite cartoon haha.

Okay, I'm gonna make this blog way shorter than my other ones. Hooray for not rambling insanely! I better get going but before I go I wanna share this song since I've been listening to it a lot lately. It's Hero by the X-Factor 2008 finalists (originally sang by Mariah Carey). There is kind of a different feel to it. A very inspirational song for you guys who might be feeling a little down right now. So you should check it out. Adios.

http://www.imeem.com/people/jJ4MZnR/music/DJcgKwK4/x_factor_finalists_2008_hero/

F.Y.I. X-Factor is a British music talent show created by Simon Cowell. The one Leona Lewis won.

So much for the advice.

Holaaaa. I'm down with fever and bad sore throat today that I can't barely talk much. Actually I've already had the sore throat since yesterday, however it wasn't as bad. Still, I went out today, like for almost the entire day haha. See I've always been advising my friends on how essential it is to have a really good rest whenever they fall sick when I myself did the otherwise. Alright, I know I should be in bed at this time and get some proper sleep, should't I? While here I am, blogging haha. I'm just hoping that I'll be fine tomorrow.

Okay, pretty random, but I finally bought quite a few chapsticks this afternoon with my mum. I've always wanted to get them but procastination always gets the better of me! Well, the reason is because my lips can get so chapped sometimes which really hurts. Sometimes, even my throat gets like so dry and it's always been like this since like I was still in primary school. I guessed I got it from my mum. I actually used to got like this little box filled with chapsticks and lip balm and stuffs that I didn't know where it went to. Kinda cool stuff and I personally like Carmex especially the one that tastes like cherry haha. But anyway I'm getting off topic here...

Then I went to watch the third installment of the Transporter series. I didn't quite like the whole plot but the fighting scene was pretty much AMAZING. That's one heck of an action movie haha. Better than the first. The part where Jason Statham drove his black Audi A8 car (I like that car) sideways on two wheels was really awesome! I just can't get over how good the car stunts were although there was one or 2 that were just plain unbelievable.


It was really fun to be able to hang out just watching movies and stuffs haha. And we all had a blast. Alright, I better get going here 'cause the cough syrup I took earlier is making me drowsy. So talk to you guys later.

Anyway, a song I've really liked lately is Little Things by Colbie Caillat. So if you're looking for a song to listen to and you haven't heard it before, you should check it out.

Let's wax lyrical.

They can say anything they
want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

They can do anything they want to you
If you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have learned there's an inner
peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And the darkness will fade

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

No
They can't take this
Precious love
I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go.

They can say anything they
want to say
Try to bring me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or loose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me




- Diane Warren, Mariah Carey

The way we get by.

I just bought my compact-size Philips DVD recorder 3600 at Courts yesterday. My first DVDR, with HDMI, DivX Ultra, dual media and USB input! It's fun to experiment. I am trying not to head outside, lest I spend unnecessarily again. Shall devote all my attention to the DVDs that have been collecting dust and I have yet to watch all these years. I guess I'm gonna save up for a new digicam too.

So someone shoot me. Till then, I will be surviving on bread and water.

And yes, I had fish and chips for dinner thereafter at Box Bistro, which is located in Courts itself. And I must say it's amazingly quite good although the chips was a little bit stale and it was, of course, not as good as fish and co's. But you gotta try it!



Ohh wow. I realised I've been raving on food so much recently (which is the reason why I'm fat; well but still look good though =p) and posting so many entries on the many delectable delights that I can plausibly dedicate an entire sight just to introduce some of the yummilicious food that I'd been sinning with and join the food-blogging industry. And then, my friends would actually take down the places I've introduced and go try them as well! Lol. Being a foodie and a blogger can make me marry the two of them together to form a beautiful union online. How truly exciting!

Yeah alright. I gotta stop day-dreaming and staring into space right now. Okay, I shall go prepare my hot chocolate and watch "The Lake House" DVD which starred my all-time favourite Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. A story of two people in love who haven't even met. Yup, it's a great movie!

Meanwhile, you take a look at the photograph of this little cat below. Well, his name's Meeko. He's my sister's neighbour's cat and the strangest thing he does almost everyday is to come into my sister's house (probably once per day) and just hang around for one or two hours. Then sometimes, the owner would knock on my sister's door to collect him back.

Haha. But isn't he adorable?

Okay, I'll stop here for now. Anyway, hello twothousandnine! And to you people, have a great year ahead! And remember some things do come unexpected.

How good it can be.

I don't really like people questioning or commenting on what I'm wearing. Because I don't do that. Well... only if I ask for their truest opinion. If not, they might as well just withhold their views to themselves. The important thing is that I'm comfortable with what I'm wearing, isn't it? Like the other day when I wore my Flash and Splash wrist band at work for fun. I pity those who didn't know what exactly that was. Some even thought that I had injured my hand. Wasn't that funny? Wouldn't I have used bandage instead if I had injured my hand?

But hey, lets move on. I've already watched Twilight (which Dilla had strangely heard it as toilet the other day when I mentioned it. lol.) last Sunday with my family. This means my sister and niece had watched it twice already on the big screen. I must say it's pretty good. Even though it wouldn't grab you at the edge of your seat but it's pure popcorn fluff which entertains. Just went to enjoy the different kind of vampire flick. Doesn't really matter what others had said. It is watchable. They probably have different thoughts about it because they have read the book beforehand. It's like Harry Porter. Or... they probably had anticipated gore, hardcore action, whatsoever after seeing its trailer. Well c'mon, this movie is based on a young adult book. You can't expect much from it anyway.

I must say I really like that cool baseball scene! (which I'm very certain most people do). And if only, me and my friends possess that synonymous kind of energy, strength and power, I suppose every game we play would be that electrifying! You have to watch it to understand what I mean. Just don't be silly to watch it on youtube if you intend to watch the movie in cinema some day.

And so, what was the next best thing to do after watching the movie. Of course eating, and yes, we ended up in Bistro Delifrance again! I told you I don't mind going there again. However, there is one thing I don't really like about that place; it's the staff promptness in topping up the customers' ice water. But other than that, it's fine.

Well speaking about food, have you people, by any chance, watch The Rachel Ray Show? I believe not many have. My mum is a hardcore fan of hers and she will never miss it on the weekdays, never ever. And as for me, I like everything that's in her kitchen; funky, retro, vintage furniture with retro, bright colors. I used to tell my mum, my house will be like that some day. How exciting. And I'm bent to making it happen! Uhh yes. Since I've come to the topic of houses, I got to show you these pictures of rental houses in Japan. They're weirdly unique.

By the way, Christmas is coming, which is also gonna be my eldest sister's birthday. I already received a few small presents from my non-Muslim friends. And yesterday, I received the first gift from my colleague. It was a packet of Oreo biscuits and a five-dollar gift voucher from Starbucks. Nice! Thanks to her. Now, I suppose my favourite chocolate cream chip with whipped cream is waiting for me.

Alright. I'm quite tired now. Went to swim a few laps even though the weather wasn't that good this afternoon. It's raining again now, and since my eyebags are getting heavier than my weight, I guess I really need to sleep early. So till then. Have a great holiday eve anyohow.
