I came upon this newpaper article today, felt slightly ashamed of myself after reading it.

http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,142378-1190325540,00.html

I know at once how I would have reacted if I were the one who found the bag of $ I wouldn’t have thought of how important it is or what it is for. I would just check if it is real, and stand in the cubicle for 15 mins, wonder if I am dreaming. Smell the notes, and smirkingly put them happily inside my shoes, my bag, my socks, jeans pocket and maybe bra and pantie. How could I resist this $$, well unless if for some phenomenal experience that I saw images how bad the boy would end up suffering the moment my finger touches the note. If not… 2 new mobile phones, a treat of Alaskan crab to all my friends at long beach restaurant, maybe give my cousin’s a note each, go for slimming programs, spa, facial, and a series of things to pamper myself with, install a bath tub at my place, change the windows of my rooms, buy a set of new furniture, a plasma tv, about 2/3 of the $ would be gone. Maybe donate 1 or 2k to random charity, a baby beaton, and … I haven’t thought of the rest yet.

I am sure I am going to hell when I die….

It’s been a terrible day, the pain on my shoulder has gotten from bad to worse and I haven’t seen a tie da gu doctor. A little scared of it actually, coz since young whenever I dislocate my bone (easily) my dad brings me to this tie da gu doctor that will use sweets to tempt me to twist my arms here and there, I had to go through those painful sweets torture and a sudden pain accompanied with a big crack sound from my bone, continued by a wrapped up hands tied around my neck, or if not, wrapped ankle with smelly chinese medicine. Do I really have to go through this again, I hate to go to work with those bandages all around you know. I don’t really trust tie da gu doctors in Singapore, but going through the western treatment is a pain. Therapy here and there, their bandage is even thicker. Remember once I have this bad ass sprain on my ankle while chasing for a bus and fall of a road step. I walked miles with it coz I miss the stop for my destination and didn’t know that soft unable to walk properly feeling is a sprain. Well I was wearing my NCC boots, secondary school ECA la, so didn’t notice the big ass swell inside the boots. I was there for a swimming competition, but had someone replace me after I took off my boots, saw the big swell on my ankle and realize something bad is going on with my ankle down there. I was known as “Jane’s sister” instead of my own name coz most my senior in the ECA is my sister’s friend. I am like the little sister, so they took great care of me. That sprain left me unable to walk for three freaking days the hospital even had crutches for me on rent. After that I still have to go to school with crutches and occasional electrical therapy which I find is a pain in the ass coz I didn’t feel it helped anyway. The only good side about this is I can get off any punishment during the period when my ankle is casted. So that is the long story about western style treatment. All in all I still prefer Chinese style treatment, coz it cures faster. Just a little bit more painful I guess… hhmm should I? should I now? tie da gu… anyone know of any good ones? Let me know. I think I need it…

There is a cute customer today I would say, not exactly cute, cute, but I haven’t seen any Chinese office boy who can complain like he is really furious but smile like he is still a polite gentleman at the same time. He made a terrible complain about the girl on Saturday shift. I was my usual self trying to be apologetic and all but his arrows keep shooting all over me, I was left with “eh… ah… eh… ah….”. In the end I had to chut my last stance, I summoned my manager to handle this. Initially she thought it was me who made the mistake, but I am glad the customer clarified, still considered reasonable I guess. In the end he couldn’t wait long enough for my manager to solve the problem and left us with a name card. So… he is a lawyer… No wonder his speech all seems like arrows, but his expressions shows different things. Cute freaking lawyer… Now, now, the only thing I am afraid of is that they will summon me back on Saturdays to work. It’s not like I am perfect on my job too, but so far, I made lesser mistakes and those people whom I made mistakes on didn’t bother to come back and give me a lashing. I guess I am just lucky…But well, let’s not push my luck too far…

A birthday friend of mine delayed her trip to Singapore, a little disappointed, a little glad, coz I had a peaceful few months and then suddenly there are four birthdays this month. It’s kind of scary but at the same time, I didn’t have boring Saturdays this month, just fat Saturdays... *sobs*After this weekend, I would start hiding in my house and rot again till my next pay day.

I use to think I am patient with people, but the recent customer handling jobs has taking its toll on me. I have become much more angry, impatient, frustrated, and the once a while murderous feeling has been creeping up to me more often. Yes sometimes I feel like murdering customers.

Take this customer for an instance, I have been seeing him quite often coz I can recognize his hearing aid and this weird white strand of hair on his chin. He walks into the shop almost every other day and ask me almost the same question… “what is (inserts the product I am selling) ar?” The frustrating part is, haven’t he been asking me the same question from the past few visits? Have I not explained enough? Does he realize I recognize him? Have he been listening to me from the past few visit? Why don’t he just bring a tape recorder and record everything I say? Then again, I feel creepy at the thought of someone listening to my recorded speech over and over again.

Today he blew my top, but I still kept my cool, I just had a mental image of blood vessel bursting inside my brain like mini multi volcano eruption. After answering all his usual question, he walked one round inside the shop, came back and ask me what is this product I am selling again…… WAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you know why I feel murderous….I think if I have heart disease of any kind, I would have fainted right on the spot. But yeah, I have fainted multiple times in my mind. I imagined fainting every time I see his face. I had to try very, very, very hard not to roll my eyes on him… My eyes just went really, really big with anguish accelerating to a huge eye rolling action but stop right at the big eye and act stupid. Then I picture him as a punch bag and punch him many times until his weird white strand chin hair falls off.

Then there is this type of shy, shy timid, timid girl who walks in and talk like I am an ant with super deluxe hearing aid. I couldn’t hear a thing she says other then weird murmurs, and I had to stick my ears right to her mouth until she can either lick it once she stick out her tongue or if not, see my ear shit with her bare eyes. So far though, I still have patient with this type coz I was like that for a short period of time years ago…

I guess enough of my nagging, So yeah, reminder. Anyone who knows of any good Chinese tie da doctor or practitioner, please leave me with their details in the gossip box at the left, or just paste me on msn messenger, but sometimes I will miss my messenger msg coz of unexpected reboot. So yeah, better to leave the msg there. Thank you.

-=Lets end with the lyrics for the song on my blog=-

Chen Da Wei – Till the End Lyrics

All these precious moments
with you by my side
must be a gift from heaven
that's holding me all night

i don't know how i found you
i'm thankful that i have
now that i have a love so true
to hold, to keep, to share

* In my heart i can no longer hold inside
all of the love i used to hide
i'll always be with you until the very end
in this world there is no place i'd rather be
you are my life, my soul, my girl
and through it all i know
that you've come to see that you're the one till the end*

All my friend around me
say you'd be gone too soon
baby i'm gonna make them see
we've found our way back home

repeat *

We'll always be till the end.

Atb rrooxxx, The last post was all about food, so how about something other than food. It was Friday when I did all the things in one day, like a swim with moo and bear. It was a fine afternoon with sun occasionally ran over by clouds. I loved the sun tanning so much but the other 2 seems to feel a little tortured by it. It was fun the whole 2 or 3 hours of noon when I enjoyed my swimming while moo tortured bear physically and mentally throughout the whole swimming session. Bear ended up with scratches all over his body, those scratches that look like side effects of bedding someone. It was hilarious how they do stunts to each other but I kind of pity bear for having a friend like moo.

The sauna was good too, I think it’s the 1^st time bear went got sauna, it was a little more of confusion while trying to switch on the heating function but it was ok after some studying.

The heat wasn’t that great at first, but moo didn’t stop waiting for the rocks to dry out and pour in scoops and scoops of water. All of us felt like we’re about to be edible anytime soon if we don’t come out of the small room. Oh btw, they had to be in the ladies, coz I am afraid to use that particular toilet alone since young. It’s kind of scary really, I’ve over come my fear of the big dark G letter which marks danger right beneath the pool, but toilet, not yet.

After everything we went for a hair cut, I always loved how they do the layering there, but it is always a mess after that hair cut day coz I don’t know how to take care of it properly. Anyway, I wore my new top from this fashion that night, met up blackie, and went for the ATB night, it was fabulous. I haven’t heard all his songs yet, but it’s good enough to let me dance to it even for those which I haven’t heard. I have to say, standing right in front of the dj booth and dancing to one of the most well known spinner is heaven. Like what blackie say, didn’t need drugs to get high. It’s not only the current hits that made my night, ATB was like one of my fav since some good years ago, and to see him in real is something really different. I didn’t really know how to describe that feeling. Anyway, I didn’t know what hit me that night but I ended up like a fan girl which I have always frowned on every time I see them. Those scream at the idol’s sight, and die to shake his hand type, but oh man… must be the invisible drugs…

I couldn’t take a real photo of it coz of the lights and my stupid camera, but blackie sure took some nice pictures… and here they are….

cute? lol yeah...

And now, let me present you with the many pictures I have taken during our food fest.

First, we have Tao’s at paradiz center. It’s a 6 course meal for lunch, my first time there, but I am satisfied with the food, it’s not super expensive, the food there is not bad, but most of it is about looking nice. Maybe it’s a girl’s thing or maybe it’s just me, I love being serve with nicely arranged food once a while be it pasta or prata.

I kind of insisted we go Tao’s coz I’ve seen nice review about it, and it’s been near my place like forever, but I’ve never been there. The guys went along with me, a little selfishness once a while is fine I guess. Girls have all the weird privileges’ that we have on hand, sometimes we just got to make use of it.

It was the starter that got my hope high for the coming dishes. You’re suppose to apply this on the bread provided. Cheese ham egg and some other things inside.. slimy, but nice.

Then the following few dishes, I would really love to name them one by one, but I think I rather skip coz there is a lot more to come.

I must say the tea there is special, if they sell the tea there individually I would go there for more…

I love the mashed sweet potato...

We went for a little window shopping at orchard and went all the way to ECP, went to beach cabana for some beer before the dinner while waiting for mich to arrive. We had wanted to go to Tong Luk SeaFood restaurant but it was fully booked for some stranger’s wedding, we had to make do with long beach but it was nonetheless a fantastic meal. I am totally happy with the food especially the erm…. Oatmeal prawn? Its damn nice, just a little sad that the butter crayfish wasn’t what I expected. I remember the 1^st one I ate was with butter crisp all around the crayfish but then again, I could always bring them there the next time. The fish is fresh and soft, somehow better than the one we ate at Tong Luk Signature. The one at Tong Luk comes with thick sauce and the sauce is definitely something to drool for, but the fish itself wasn’t at a texture that is soft enough to enjoy, but true, the bones are gone etc, that’s the good part. While the fish we had at Long Beach didn’t have their bones removed, but we cleaned out the dish totally.. I am glad we didn’t end up in Tong Luk seafood after all.

The oatmeal prawn was gone before I remember to take a picture =~

Moo was looking at tankful of swimming fishes and feeling sad saying "look at those fishes, so sad, later its gonna be eaten by us.."

The ultimate, CRAB!!!! My fav dish right after the oatmeal prawn.

The crab oh my god the crab… the crab…. It’s a crab, but hhmm although I didn’t like the peeling part which I never liked before. But the crab is worth all my effort peeling it. Black pepper something crab. . 1.5kg. The kiap kiap thing is damn big I tell u, it’s not the biggest crab but the taste is good. I love sucking on the shell with all the juicy black sauce sipping slowly into my mouth… oh god the taste…

It’s been a while since I truly enjoyed crabs…but not as much as moo, the crab was in moo’s mind until this hour and still going on…. I bet he have been dreaming of it every night and day…

Went to marina square to run an errand for mich today but walked almost the whole MS to find her lol, three lost lambs walked every corner of 3^rd floor before we found her work place, but we walked pass this international buffet restaurant which seems to offer quite a great variety of food. Planning to go there next time, but it’s a little expensive. It better be better than Sakura else I will feel the pain paying for it. We end up eating steamboat at bugis, it was last time named as Chong Qing Huo Guo, they changed the name to La Mei Huo Guo or something like that le, although the people working there isn’t exactly La Mei, but well, maybe the name does attract customers, I don’t know.

I have eaten less than how I can usually take, but somehow the 2 guys still give me the hopeless *look at me and shake head* look. Maybe it’s my special blend of sauce that most people finds disgusting.

Tonight is moo’s birthday, he is 22 this year at 24^th of Sept. I made a failed attempt of surprise for him, that curious little idiot went to the fridge in search of mooncake and found his birthday cake, damn. He pretended not to know although his big big big big big big big big BIG smile on his face tells everything. I proceed with the expected surprise sadly but he seems to still be very excited he has a birthday cake and a mango one which is his favorite.

I guess it is worth the last min trip to plaza sing specially for his cake he totally expected. =~ damn…

Look at him, he is drinking his milk but still curious about other things as his eyes wander around. I wonder if he knows that all the sashimi on the tables are actually food.

This is a close up picture of Cass, big eyes isn’t he? Sadly I still hasn’t got the courage to hold him in my arms. Somehow a lot of sadistic pictures come to my mind when I think of holding him. Like maybe, if I press him too hard, there will be a permanent dent in his whichever part of body I pressed. He is so soft you know, so damn soft.. it might just happen. And when I hold his tiny little hands, I am afraid I will twist his wrist or something. That’s why I think I better wait till he is a little harder before I start holding him, at least not so soft. I think is because of the sheer different in size between me and him, I thought I might hurt him anytime coz he is so fragile. I remember when I use to hug my cousin’s last time, I wasn’t that afraid, I just hug them like that. They’re as small but compared to me, the difference in size weren’t that great. Besides, maybe I didn’t even think that I might hurt them when I drop them, I don’t know. Now that I am wary of such things, I am just afraid.

After are filling buffet lunch at suki sushi, we walk around hougang mall for a while, and I got my cow an early birthday present. I shopped for birthday presents 2 days in a row, one for bear, and one for cow coz their birthdays were eight days apart.

Anyway, after the lunch, a little bit of catching up although mostly is about Cass because he is easily the centre of attraction just like that. A little bit of shopping and an embarrassing experience with the staff at Harvey Norman. I left for moo’s place to collect his watch for him, took the wrong flight of stairs and blah blah blah, pulled my leg muscle somehow from a small accident, and finally reach my place after dragging my legs home. Bear was already there playing dota with moo, and I manage to rest a bit before we went to central, I didn’t know anything about that place, just heard of all the good food they have to offer, it’s the 1^st time Iam going there, so I told the cab driver to go to central mall, It so happens that there IS another place called central mall not far from ‘central’ we tmd had to walk all the way back to central. Thank god we saw the place on our way to central mall or else we would have been so lost.

We went to coffee club, there is a drink I wanted to try but I decided not to because I had a fine dinner waiting for me. The drink has ice cream in it which will be too filling I guess, earl grey with ice cream >.<>rd floor coz of the class walls, there is a band performing and crowd gathering, the mooncake festival moon is all around.

We waited for mich to arrive before we head down to Tong Luk signature. It was moo’s treat today coz it was a celebration for bear’s birthday. The place is great, nice atmosphere,

and the walls are just glasses and we can see the river out there. It has a nice view, and everything just adds up to bringing us the mood for good appetite. We ate all the good food our stomach can contain

Beijing duck again,

but never sick of it, didn’t take photo of the shark fin coz I didn’t waste anytime to scoop it into my mouth. We ordered a pot of fish shi ban or hong ban forgot >.<. but it was delicious, the meat
was tender and all, the sauce is good on rice too.

The meat part of bei jing duck was fantastic too. This time they cook it better, unlike the one at crystal jade xiao chu at plaza where the meat turns up soggy. And then ‘Lu Shun’ something something, I forgot what it is called in English, but I love this dish as well. I always love it since years ago, but it has never been in my list of fav food before, I always forgot about it.

We ended our dinner with nice desserts, it was one of the best meal I ever had this year, with laughter and spice^^

We went down and walk pass these nice spots and sat down for a smoke. A little blur, still not use to moo's new phone's camera function.

The crazy old botch is back in store today, the moment I caught sight of her entering the shop, I turned my head to the other side. Just didn’t want her to be ‘friendly’ with me again. So, I was watching spiderman 3 on repeat due to the semi r-rated film that I find wasn’t suitable to be played on public premises. About three minutes after her arrival, a twisted idea came to me. Extremist church lovers hate bad things. Semi-r-rated film in public = bad = she might be offended or feel irritated. I played the film on purpose. She stared at me in a weird head to toe look after that, I didn’t know what it means, maybe coz she saw the awkward behavior when I tried to avoid eye contact with her when she first step in. Or actually, for each attempt she tried to walk to my direction, I look away straight hard on the TV or fake looking at a piece of paper very very seriously. She was in the shop for a whole 15-20 minutes, and that is the worst part of my day.

Warning : Venting my frustrations, so it is very long and not for the weak hearted.

Good reviews : not as long as most musicals …… LAME…..

Ok, I didn’t really have a normal work day, was quite pissed today, somehow I think my patience is going from bad to worse. My tolerance level towards people with brain but chose not to think has gone down a million levels…

I know I know, part of my job is customer service, and I have to adapt to the policy that customers are always right. I didn’t flare up during my job anyway; I just had a lot of mental screams while hanging on to my pathetic smile.

So, everyday was normal for me, except for some customers who is harder to handle or get to because their level of understanding might be slightly lower than average. They try to understand and listen to what I say, so I am still fine with all these people. Glad serving them coz that’s what my job is all about mar.

Unfortunately today, there are four extra ordinary customers that came under my service.

1^st scenario : The act smart but really just trying too hard type.

Product introduction blah blah blah…

CS : So what if I want to go wireless.

Me : You can use the wireless adaptor blah blah blah *while showing him the picture of the adaptor*

CS : No, that is not a wireless adaptor.

Me : Yes it is, coz u do not need to run wire all over blah blah

CS : No, it is not. There is wire. That is why it is not wireless.

Me: * thinking he might have heard wrong* explain it all over to him again using diff words.

CS : No I told you, it is not wireless, coz you still need wires…

Me : at this point of time. I realize that the only wire he could be talking about is the short 5 cm wire that is connecting the adaptor itself to any device. And I gave up explaining to the act smart arse and agree to every wrong thing he said.

CS : this wire, that wire etc etc *includes a few technical terms which is used the wrong way*( 10-15 minutes )

Me thinking : Yeah sure, you’re the god who knows everything, why did u even have to ask me if u think u know everything, yeah yeah sure, hahahah omg what the hell did u just say? Nothing else better to do and because everyone in the world think you’re an idiot so u’re trying to prove to a defenseless customer service personal that you’re smart.. blah balh blah ( lame comments as long as his speech )

CS : Ok then , see ya and thank you

Me : my pleasure.

That baptism of idiocracy is such blow to me already, and it didn’t stop at that.

2^nd scenario : The want to find out about things yet unwilling to listen type

“I paid so much every month for the 10mbps internet speed how come it is still so slow!”

Seriously, how would you have reacted if you’re in my position. Yes, I am not in charge of that, but since it came, might as well handle it. Like any other confused person, I will first ask how many computer he owns..

“ONE”

Me thinking : Ok…. One… 10mbps, not fast enough for you? what are you downloading, world wide porn??

Me say : So… how slow is your slow?

“Everytime I on my computer is slow! It’s never once fast. I start up always slow, shut down my computer also slow! I paid so much you know, to get the faster speed, 10mbps ler! How can you give me such a slow service *blah blah*.”

I am pretty sure most of you had an idea of what this is about already…

After explaining for 20 mins, he couldn’t accept the fact that internet is internet, computer is computer. New or decent computer is his solution. Upgrading from win 98/me to xp doesn’t help. So he stomp off anyway…

Me thinking: stubborn old fool……. *with a big bright smile to see him off happily*

3^rd scenario : act smart, act pro, dying to feel needed by people.

To cut it short, he expected me to know about technical knowledge about products that I am not selling, ok wait, not just me, the shop I am in is not selling the product and probably no one knows much about it. Just like how boutique sales girl knows about fashion and materials but they don’t know where their boss get the plastic models from or what other substances the plastic model might be made of, the fake eyes and syntactic hair etc, but he insist I should know and lecture me a whole section about it claiming he is a trainer and knows everything. slightly similar to scenario one, he inserts a lot of chim technical terms but this time, I had no idea what he is talking about. So I am in no position to comment if he is right or wrong, but he is definitely not needed in the premises.

4^th and the WORST scenario : smiley but rude, irritating, and persistent pest.

Before I say anything, I want to clarify that I am not in anyway bias towards any religion, and although I have my own preference, I am sure it is not wrong to think the way I am thinking about this situation.

This woman who is about 40 walks into the shop already have in mind what she wanted to buy. Instead of going straight for the purchase, she pretends to be interested in other things but she is really not ( can tell la after doing the job for so long ). Then she proceeds to probe about personal things.

Question? My thoughts

Name? Fine nothing personal,

Surname? Omg, I am working here, but u need to know my surname mer, complain about me ar, nothing to complain about also, tell lor…

Dialact? Wah, u interested in my issit, ask so many things, k la, no harm…

Then she proceed to tell me that my name is wrong…

( what do u mean my name is wrong jacinth is wrong mer )

She only recognize this name “Jacintha” and figured that there shouldn’t be a name like “jacinth”

Even after trying to be polite explaining that jacinth meant something, she didn’t believe it fine lor

Me says “ you can go home check oxford dictionary, my name is there”

Up to here it is nothing to tolerate about, just feels that she is kind of nosy.

From here on, she ‘hit on’ a customer that was enquiring things from me, and tried to preach about Christianity. OMG PLEASE. I was relieve to find out that the young man is a Christian too, at least there won’t be any conflict. I WAS WRONG.

They talk about some evangelism and Israel trip etc etc and the conversation went on until bout 10 minutes into the pushy conversation from the woman’s side. She told the guy, these exact same words

“You should be going to city harvest church, if you are not, then you’re going to the wrong church already.”

This isn’t the only offensive statement she made, I am just too lazy to name the rest.

Even though I don’t favor any of them, anyone would have known that it is a rude and offensive statement. After some few minutes of her trying to get his name card, contacts and etc etc and ignoring me although I tried to cut in. The guy finally ignored her, tell me some straight forward comments about her, right in front of her. ( seriously she looks more like a desperado old woman trying to hook herself up with a young man ) and walked off being very irritated, offended and angry.

She made a “he is just a child” kind of laughter to me and didn’t stop pestering other people around her. OMG PLEASE old crazy botch, shouldn’t this type of people be jailed for having high risk of leading a bunch of people to drown themselves in name of holiness? They really shouldn’t be walking on the streets. Fine if you want to preach, but at least preach to people who are willing to listen mar, not forcefully right, and worse still, in an offending manner, she got no brains or what. It just make it seems like she is adoring her church more than her god himself.

End if pissing stories.

Conclusion : That lady is a crazy old botch.

Today was just a normal work day for me with a little twist. There are some deaf and dump people who visited me to enquire about things I am selling. I am not educated on sign language at all, ended up making a lot of monkey actions invented by myself, to let him understand what is going on.

It took me 5 minutes to realize that just by inventing my own sets of signs wouldn’t give him enough knowledge on my product, so I finally start writing. I still had to guess what he is trying to ask though, and every misconception he made, I had to do the ultra man hand sign to let him know he is wrong, and I have to go about drawing numbers and graphs to let him understand. It was a weird process but still fun, nothing like I’ve ever done. And I feel happy that I am able to convey messages even though I don’t understand their sign language. Well of coz I am not happy that they are deaf or dumb, I am just glad that I am able to pass a different type of language barrier other then spoken language.

Personally, I don’t converse with male species much if it’s not necessary, just like how some guy don’t converse with female species much. But lately I’ve become “that girl” in my work place.

That girl who don’t mix around much, that girl who chose her lunch partner, that girl who go off work right on time, that girl who smokes without informing she is going for a smoke break, that girl who don’t look like she is smoking, that girl who work 7 days a week (although it’s past tense). I am comfortable with being the odd one out, but when I realized that they may all be wondering about what kind of person I am, I feel a little awkward.

I only go out to lunch with this Indian colleague and some other company once a while, well I am comfortable with female species. And today, some guy mentioned something about lunch to me, and I didn’t really bother what he was saying, so I think I might have done something rude. It occurred to me later on that he was wanting to have lunch with me, but I just gave him some hasty reply and went out to lunch with other girls. I came back from lunch feeling slightly guilty but didn’t know what to say. So I left it there hanging, but since I will stop working after end of sept, I guess I don’t need to ‘repair’ anything do I? I will just leave it at that until he says something mean to me.

Finally I made time for the upcoming events including the 21^st ATB *ahem* ok. So all was going half well and half fast. 2 days later, I receive another news from my friends. That thing about preggy is just a load of crap they made up to follow up the crappiness I gave them that particular day. Just that theirs went on for 2 days, plus it is something not impossible to believe in.

I was in utter shockness when they told me the crap, and in another kind of ultimate shockness when they told me that the crap was just crap, simply put, the truth.

Well after I am out of the shocking and dumb founding experience, I realized it’s not all that bad too. For the first time since the recent months, I could look forward to the next day. A day where I can wake up whatever time I wish, a day where I can actually plan what I want to do, a day where I can have for myself, just myself.

Planning a series of events for the next few Saturdays, quite excited I can say. I have plans for most sat of the month oh, suddenly I feel like I am alive. At least not working 7 days a week, just hope that the plans turn out well.

For this week though, I had wonderful nights with bear and moo, more of like an unstoppable food fest. Although things didn’t go according to plan most of the time because of our precious cow. It didn’t stop me from enjoying the time I spent with them. Friday night wasn’t that great, we changed our plan coz of unforeseen circumstances but we still end up in the wonder hong kong café at cineleisure and made jokes about the recent wanted man in Singapore. Sorry for being evil, but that is just how we are. The food there was just as expected, nothing out of the ordinary. Not too bad, but I only found out its 24 hours on weekends then.

I remembered trying French toast at kim gary but I thought its gonna be the same, so we ordered it as well, it turned out to be different though.

We slept till noon on sat, and went out to vivo city, I was looking forward to marche but plan changed again, we headed to kim gary this time and had wonderful meals. I ordered something fish something wrap something mushroom something rice. I didn’t expect it to be that good but yeah, it made me finish the whole thing clean.

Although we had plans to go for Sakura buffet later that night, all 3 of us didn’t feel that we could eat enough to worth the $ we will spend on it, ended up changing out plans again and went for crystal jade xiao chu in plaza singapura.

We ate the poor duck who swam all the way from Beijing to us just to be roasted. Ok la, that was crap, it is BeiJing Kao Ya. Ages since I’ve last eat it, The big big menu we saw at the entrance says $56 for the duck. We thought, well it’s not that bad, lets go for it, so we went in, read more of the menu and decided to have 2 sets of meal. Obviously just the duck is not enough variety to let us truly enjoy our dinner. Only after we ordered I realize our moo didn’t ask the important question that is not stated in any of the menu we’ve seen. Is the price labeled there for one person or for the whole set. We ordered 2 sets which coz $56 and $26 respectively. If it is per person, omg… Well its not impossible since it happened to my sister before, but that is all the way in Melbourne. And the little piece of paper with details of orders they left on our table looks suspicious.

Doesn't it look like they charge by per person?

I was worried all the way until the first dish came. I realize that it’s not very possible for them to make us pay $26/pax for a dish that size.

Our duck on the surgical table ^^

My duck skin.

The scattered duck.

The food is great although some people there seem to have a little attitude. And when the duck came to us, all people around our table look at us with the doubtful eyes. I wonder what they are really doubting.

We continued our food fest this morning with mac donalds breakfast at my place *delivery* and although we skipped lunch, we had our dinner at V8 at bugis junction.\

Their bolognese comes in brown sauce.

I went for a swim in the noon today which I haven’t been doing for ages. The water was lukewarm because of the sun, and this time I wasn’t alone. I went with my cousins who shares the same love for the pool with me. The same love for the bright and sunny day at the pool side, and the same love of tanning until we look like roasted ducks. Just that this time, she ended up looking more like crab.*sun burned* and as always, I am the one with least tan although I wanted it most.

One beautiful thing happened though, although I can’t really capture it with my stupid camera phone. While I was taking the shower to wash all the pool water off my body, my cousin who was in queue behind me saw a ray of rainbow on my shoulder and told me about it excitedly. I was unable to see it though when I turned my head over, so I made her go under the shower and check it out from behind her. It was beautiful, it is really there, over the shoulder of my cousin. I made her stay under the shower and ask her to keep her hands on it to keep the water running while I take my camera phone and take a pic of it. Stayed behind her and looked at the rainbow for a while. Just feel a little disappointed when the photo didn’t turn out good.

All in all though, I feel so much fresher, better and more alive after the swim. I am looking forward to more swimming sessions.

We watched 19^th gates of hell finally, after delaying it for 2 days. We use our free movie voucher after finding out that shaw is at bugis too. The theater itself was a total disappointment, no wonder the lack of crowd there. It was the worst theater I’ve been since as long as I could remember. The chairs are the olden type, well….a picture says a thousand words so there you go.

I can’t even put my bags on the floor coz I am afraid it might get stained. Or maybe a roach will make my bag it’s new home kind of thing.

The movie itself, hhmm although bear like the movie because of some personal preference, I didn’t think the movie is all that good. It is suppose to be scary and have some kind of after effect but no, none of those happen to me. It only goes as far as making me think about what I would have done in her situation, but that thought didn’t last for more than 15 minutes.

It would be good for those girls who want to watch scary show which is not at all scary. I recommend it to people like that.

It is Monday again tomorrow, but this time I know I only have to work for 5 days, oh am I so glad. Looking forward to the next sat. ^^

We head to the place after I am done changing and saw the menu with familiar content but it doesn’t seems to be that familiar to our darling Pam. We end up changing our dining place which didn’t end up bad at all. The variety of food was plenty and still at an affordable range. For a start they put a basket of bread in front of us along with a saucer plate full of olive oil. This is the first time I know olive oil can be eaten like this with bread and I kind of like it after trying a mouthful. The mushroom soup that comes after was good too but I thought the one at white dog café was better, at least from the look and smell of it. They come in big wide square plates and well, we’re so hungry I forgot to take any picture of it.

I ordered carbonara as my main after struggling from deciding between pasta and risotto. And for the risotto that I didn’t order, blackie ordered it in my place. After all, I am still a loyal fan of carbonara.

I didn’t remember what the name of the risotto was, it was risotto something something broccoli. It was good though, really good. And the plate of potato tomato thing Pam ordered was good too. All our dishes came in big round plates but I manage to finish everything up. Clean.

It was a good place to eat at the ambience is nice the place is quite I just love it but I have trouble remembering names so I have no idea what that place is called, not like I remember how to go as well. The next time I feel like going I just have to drag Pam and blackie along. I guess I am forever bad at directions.

We walked around the place and relax and digest a little before we head back to our dessert place – canele. I remember the name of the place coz I’ve seen the menu like 20 times before I went there. So finally we’re there, the cakes there omg I feel like eating each and every one of them the moment I see them but that will not happen. They’re cute and I see this short supposedly office lady taking multi pictures of the cakes on display. I felt like doing that too but I think my skin isn’t thick enough. It’s not something bad though coz Blackie ended up ordering the 2 cakes that I wanted to take picture of the most. The strawberry something and the chocolate something. Ugh names…..

We just had to break that perfect round thing on top.

I ordered something which I thought was pavlova. It isn’t, but it turned out to be better than pavlova. Lemony, creamy, a little sourish. The strawberry something was definitely smooth mild sweet and creamy too, the chocolate something oooooh… oh my god…. I will eat that the next time I am there. You just have to taste it to know it, I don’t even know what is in there, that layer of…. Something….

The ice chocolate isn’t as good though, I’d expect anything chocolaty drink to be thick. It didn’t turn out that way. It was watery, and purely chocolate, it’s not a bad thing originally since I love 70% dark chocolate kind of thing but having it as a drink was kind of too much for me.

We had fun yakking and making jokes out of things the whole night and well even if part of it was me making a fool out of myself but I still enjoy the time. I guess working in customer service line does make ur brain rusty a little. We left the place sadly without being able to taste every piece of their cakes when it’s time to go, but the good thing is they forgot to charge us for drinks. Hiak hiak hiak, if not our bill wouldn’t be just 20 something. I love how forgetful the waitresses there are. Or maybe one of them was lesbian and got a crush on one of us which happen to be the reason for the free drinks. Ok I am sick, never mind.

Had a normal rough Sunday job today and really tired already but I still have to blog about yesterday before I sleep. It wasn’t costly and I had fun, I got free ride home from Pam and her bunny and I got something for free from blackie too, haha thanks ar u both. Now I just can’t wait for the eye soother delivery man to arrive ~~~
