I am so hooked onto this song! Mercy By Duffy
Especially this part of the song:
I don't know what this is
but you got me good
just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
but you do it well
I'm under your spell
Spellcaster, I absolutely love!
Give me someone that would make me 茶不思饭不想！

Fantastic Weekend!
How was your weekend?
Mine was fantastic! A totally carefree weekend, no stress, no worries, no inhibitions!
On Sat, met up with Darling to go shopping at Far East. Just 3 shops, and the damage done was simply great! A total loot of 1 coat, 3 shoes, 2 tops, 5 dresses caused my wallet to be lighter by the hundreds! =) Thank goodness I did not shop during the GSS period, otherwise, 后果不堪设想 .
We followed up with a trip down to the National Arts Museum as there were performances there as part of the Night Festival 2008. As the National Arts Museum was open during the period of time, and free entry, I might like to add, we headed in, took lotsa pictures as possible. Or rather, as many pictures as my camera batt could support. =P Too bad I did not charge up the battery before leaving the place, hence the battery did not last THAT long.
Here're some of the items from the Museum that were on display (pictures taken by Darling):
What we saw at the Night Festival:
Caught an open air screening of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was the classic version, not the one that was acted by Johnny Depp. Each version has its own merits, but what I simply love about this is it's atmosphere! =) Watching old films with fun loving people, in a open air cinema whereby they would have to change the film reels.
After which, there was a play of lights on the building. Here's one of them. To see more, visit:

On Sunday, was supposed to be down for the Nationals Competition weigh-in at National Training Centre at 2pm. Met Luke to pick Val at her place, during the journey which Luke was reminded that the verification documentations for some of our fighters were still with him.
In short, taxi uncle drove us from: Bedok - Telok Kurau - Bedok - Whampo (Val & myself only had to pay $4.50 each!) haha.. =P
As there was no training that evening, met up with Del. Went to the Seventh Storey Hotel @ Bugis just to simply look at the man-operated lift! It's so damn cool, and the uncle is so friendly and cute! =P Chilled out at Intercontinental Hotel, followed by 2 movies (Art of the Devil 3 & X-Files: I Want to Believe) and Zouk!
3 things I did that I've never before so far that I've lived: Going to a Hotel just to look at a particular feature (it had usually been food or drinks), 2 consecutive movies in the Cinemas on a weekend, as well as Zouking on a Sunday night! Just for Paul Van Dyke, who spins good! =) I can believe that I stayed till 3am, but I can't believe that I did get up in time for work, and am still at normal energy level!
If only every weekend is like that… *dreams*

ABBA Mia!
I was out with a friend just the other day, and we happened to be talking about musicals etc.
And just yesterday, Mich was asking if there's any new upcoming musicals coming up ever since we caught We Will Rock You (which did totally rock btw) quite some time back.
Of course, I went over to Sistic website and saw… ABBA MIA! =)
Oldies rulez~ Had wanted to get the restricted view tics which were actually not really totally restricted (yeah, we tend to save wherever possible), but unfortunately, they were sold out for Circle 1. Decided then to go for Category 2 tic. We were lucky to get 2 seats in Circle 1. Here're our seats:
With only 3 shows being performed, it would be a pretty great thing to watch ya?

Ask! for God's Sake!
I am irritated. Oh God, yes! I'm absolutely Irritated!
Instead of hiding behind your manager's pants, why not just come out and ask for the reasoning for what I'm asking to be done?
Would you rather people return things back to you in their original condition or slightly modified?
If you're telling me slightly modified which would make my life better, I'd say Thank You and mean it.
But if you're going to give it to me in a manner whereby I can get things done but with MUCH inconvenience, of course I would ask for you to return it back to me in the original condition!
And if you don't understand why, just ASK!
And if you don't understand after explanation, save the both of us from much unhappiness and simply move the damn thing! It does make things much easier!

Revamped Downtown East
Have you been to the revamped Downtown East?
I was there, the very evening that Daniel had his wedding solemnization. (Yes, I know, twice a day!)
Skipped training, went dinner with Francis. I think we're both pretty sua-ku, as we seem to be both very astonished by the changes that were there!
Here're 2 of the changes, can you guess what they are?
Yes, a in-door Cadbury Ferris Wheel and the entrance to the bowling alley (which looks like a time zone)!
If only the Ferris wheel is, just like the commercial, made up of chocolate...
wouldn't it be nice if the world was Cadbury?
wouldn't it be nice?
And here we are, travelling through time... =P

Fight for it!
Not everyone has a happy ending
Not everyone gets what the want
Not everyone has what they need
Not everyone can have respect
Some people have 2 fight all their lives 2 get a small portion of any of these
Saw this on one of the posts on Facebook. Does it apply to you?
Do you fight for what you want? Or are you those Anything can do kinda of person?
To fight or not to fight? If fight, how much should you fight for?

The Ultimate Mambo Jambo Dance-Off @ Zouk
Totally low, that's my energy level now.
Went for Zouk/StarHub/Sony Ericson's Mambo Jumbo Dance off last night, and I totally enjoyed myself!
Was there with my fav clubbing partner Michelle, who brought along Yupei, who's a bubbly, and totally adorable girl. In fact, she reminds me of JC!
I know that I have not been to Zouk on a Wednesday night for a long while when I asked Mich to go to the Citibank free entry queue as I was only able to sign in 1 guest. Thinking back, I cant believe that I asked her to go queue for free entry on a Wednesday night, which is also Ladies Night! OMG!
Anyway, we were lucky that we were there pretty early, as the entrance to Zouk was very packed once the dance off started (I think sardines in a tin has more space than them). Songs that were played, got me wanting to move along with it. Of course, the host, Hossan Leong was very entertaining as usual, engaging the crowd and making everything oh so lively.
Interesting to see the 5 different groups to pit their skills against each other, and I must say, the winner does deserve to win! Their dance moves, I like... haha! =) And the winning group, whose name IS quite a mouthful, has such cute guys! =P
I'm sure there will be a video uploaded somewhere for this. I'll post a link once I get it! =)
Oh yes, I collected my new Zouk membership. I prefer the previous version though, whereas both Mich and Yupei prefer the newer version.
I can't wait for the end of July/early August, for Mich's birthday celebration! Let's go drink, drank, and be drunk! Whoot!

Alphabet Soup?
One would think that PAP, being the leading party in Singapore politics, would have enough moolah to upkeep its premises.
Unfortunately, that is not what I've seen, and what you are going to see:
Hmmm.. Did the educators try to make alphabet soup with the missing letters?

Yet to be Fulfilled Holidays - For 2008/09
I'm going on Holidays! Whoot!
Lets see:
Jul08-Batam
Dec08-Langkawi (I can't wait for this!)
Apr09-Macau (I can't wait for this either!)
Why so many holidays?
Batam: A friend who wants a short getaway, the sand, sea and the sun. Prices wise, not too sure, as we have yet to book anything. But one thing's for sure, we'll be heading out of Singapore 19/20Jul! Total Damage: S$XYZ?
Langkawi: I saw a promo on its website, a sea village package for 3D2N that costs only RM1,100! and 3rd person only pays RM180! That translates to 3D2N for 3pax on a water village lagoon with a private balcony to be only RM1,280 (S$178/pax at a exchange rate of 2.4)! Cheap cheap! Furthermore, Airtics from KL to Langkawi approx S$100 both ways. So all we have to do is to find bus to KL! Total Damage (if bus to KL costs s$50): S$320!
Macau: Airasia has a promo (or rather, had, since the promo was only valid till 06Jul08), whereby flights from JB, KL to Macau were only going at RM$5! After taxes and everything, S$150! another cheap cheap deal! And what we have to do is just simply to travel to JB to get such a good deal! Hotel wise, not settled yet though, cos there're no hotels that can give any indication of their pricing for half a year later! =P Total Damage (excluding Hotel & Coach/Bus to JB): S$150!
Anyway, I still have got the following places that I want to go:

Anyway, I still have got the following places that I want to go:
- Desaru <- to go with Batam friend
- Phuket/Bintan <- To go with yet another friend
- Genting <- And yet another friend (minimum, just that I have yet to find a gambler like me to go with) =(
- To be decided <- Friends cum ex-colleagues, to be decided on both when and where! haha! =P
Anybody want to bring me to anywhere else?

1st July 2008
First July... Officially the first day of the new financial year, the day/week whereby one will see a lot of resignation letters...
First thing my boss asked when he saw me this morning: "Where's your letter?"
"You want my letter, I'll give it to you."
"No need to serve notice period also can, go immediately."
Wow... What a rare opportunity! But unfortunately, my sense of responsibility compels me to stay (as if)! Haha! =P
Anyway, met up with 3 ex colleagues for K-ing on Sunday in the Chinatown area (which meant that I went back to office, yes I did). Here're the photos that showed how much fun we had, even though we were given a room right at the back of the kitchen! (Which translates to a very small room, by the way...) =P

As adorable as can be....
As sad as can be....
As foolish as can be...
