was taking bus 65 from orchard emerald to dhoby ghaut with clifton. While on the way, i heard this 'ugh' kinda sound, where you could easily place it as someone vomitted. Saw this young guy sitting at the very back of the bus with his friend. Apparently this friend of his had just vomitted. And he ended it all with a spit sound. I wondered, how can this guy be so inconsiderated? Boy am i glad to be alighting just he'd puked.
I mean, come on man! if you feel bus sick, perhaps you should alight the bus and take a cab back instead? Or vomit at some drains? Or if you have had a drink too much, take a cab back ya? No money to take cab? Don't drink then! Too bad buddy! Duh!
I really pity the people sitting right at the back, near to the vomit. Those having to suffer, bearing with the smell of the vomit that is gonna surface later. Especially the bus driver, who's gonna have to bear with it all the way till he dock the bus.... Tsk tsk, and having to clean the shit left by some bloody inconsiderate guy.
How i wish someone would actually dunk his head in the pool of vomit and ask hm to eat his own shit! Give him some lesson so that he will not do that again!

we were watching discovery travel and living which triggered this conversation.
mom: isn't it weird that why indians have such big, beautiful eyes and nice nose but they are just dark in colour..
ver: just like us, not nice eyes and nose but are fair (in a way)
me: yea, then like those ang mohs, sharp nose, beautiful eyes, fair skin and have the height and all.... BUT! they are just 'hao kan but hao chi'. its too bad that they look good overall but have very bad characteristics. well, for the majority.
so my conclusion? ang moh are just for viewing purpose only.
anyway, thought i might as well update some of the photos before they start to have mold and spiderwebs growing on them!
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Was unable to attend ah li's bday dinner as i'd decided to swap my shift with cy. ima proud to say that i did 2 full shifts in a row! haha, though its no biggie as compared to last year. those poor boys.. hah. changed my offday to sunday instead of sticking to sat so that i can enjoy myself and rest the next day. =D
good idea right? haha.
went over to pan pacific hotel immediately once im done with my work. no duties for that night, so.. its a relief for me.
i wasted no time taking some pictures the moment i made myself comfortable. had some nice cookies to eat.. heng ar! was feeling kinda hungry then. somehow work has made me a hungry person very fast!
tang ge & his missus, karen who's gonna be part of our family soon! haha. wonder who is her coach gonna be.. hmmmm.
managed to get the bz star to take pic with us.. haha
oh, there was her group of friends in the room too.. we aint the only ones there
tried with flash...
and without.. the colour looks nicer but.. its blur if we move a tiny weeny bit.. yes, till now i have yet to figure out how to optimise the camera's many features.. abit wasted right? to be used by me.... gah.
my jiu gui
poor star, she was forced to drink the glass.. of 50% vodka and 30% sprite? am glad im not the girl throwing a bday party.. hee. managed to siam.
that ended up with this...
.....
....
...
..
.
a heated argument on who's responsible for it.. heeee
yes.. its made up by me lah..
my father and uncle 'fat'
too blurry le!!! RETAKE!
thats... er.. better
who's sluttier?
took a last group photo before we leave the room for supper....
it was kinda fun, that we moved out in 3 cars, big group and gathered at kallang mac to chit chat. was glad that i went for ah li's bday. get to see ah goh - my old lover, lien ho - the pervert, hee.. and chee wah.. the super white guy. (that's how i describe him to dajie). would love to meet up again in such a big group one day. most prolly will be on fridays since those white collar guys will be resting on the weekends. =)
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
buddy, von, joe and i happened to have the same off day together so we decided to go to .. MALAYSIA!
it was a horrible day for me.. as it just finished raining and the grounds were wet. but i wasn't aware that the passageway will be flooded! left the house late and quickly went out to take a bus to the mrt station. by the time i reached the bus stop, the bottom of my jeans were wet as well as my birks, was wet on the toe area. the air was humid after the rain, so.. there i was, hot, bothered and wet = uncomfortable! bus finally came and board the bus and..... to realise that i'd forgotten to bring my most important possession out... my P-A-S-S-P-O-R-T!!!
quickly alighted from the bus and that was like 2 bus stops away. the distance were quite far ok!! have to walk back all the way, and the passageway were flooded 80% of them that i have to thread lightly most of the time. sigh..
went home, took passport and have to flag for a cab since i was at least an hour late. they were having their breakfast by the time i reached and i had no appetite for food.
I'm glad though, that the rest of the day went fine. went over to city square and i think they were having some holiday, youth day maybe? and were having an event, quite similar to Singapore's Project Superstar. All kids were dressed up, i tell you. it was like attending some kind of fashion fiesta~! I'll daresay you most prolly wouldn't find that here in Orchard road.
spent almost half the day there walking about, exploring every corner, not giving any spot a miss. and... decided to rest at the mac. we were kinda surprised with one thing there..
clever us sent joe on a mission to retrieve food for us while we waited at a safe corner, making sure those mobs will not breed there. initially ordered a medium size coke and small ice lemon tea i think.. joe came up with the drinks and later, we realised that.. the coke were small size (think of it in singapore's mac drinks size). joe, being the only fella with the longest legs and was very thirsty, went down, planning to start a dispute with them (maybe he'll say "i want to speak to your floor manager") for being given the wrong size of drink came up defeated.
*below converse were not 100% word by word, its more or less ok? agar agar lah*
us: what happened to your drink? never change?
joe: *bewildered* this is their MEDIUM (sg's small size) size drink... haha..
us: *twitched*
-pity i didnt take picture to illustrate the above-
very li hai hor? maybe their government is trying to discourage the youngsters from drinking too much unhealthy sweet sodas? hmm
which then reminded me... what about america? their meals are so supersized that... maybe that's how.. the people's size come about? (O.o)
back to story.. next, we were deciding where to go. initially planned to go holiday plaza but i opt out of it.. coz there's nothing to see there!! and i'd been going there too often for my own good. so.. we agreed to go to... JUSTCO! i remembered reading the newspaper some time back that they'd built a very BIG supermart - JUSTCO that it became the so-called one stop place for tourist to go.
haha, tried to flag for a cab and as we were unsure of how much is the average rate to go to justco, we decided to ask around - the drivers!
we sent joe again, our representative to check the price.
1st driver: 50 ringgit
us: *stunned!*
joe rejected the 2nd driver and flagged for the 2nd one. inbetween, we had some discussions, which were quite hilarious but i wouldn't be putting the conversations up here as it funnier when you are there.
2nd driver: 50 ringgit
joe rejected him again, flatly.
we began counting our costs and we still trying to recover from the first and second piece of news..
2nd driver pulled down window and said: 15 ringgits...
us: *quickly scramble into the cab*
then a thought hit us..
were the 1st driver trying to tell us the same thing?
just imagine what if, what he'd said was 15 instead of 50? and imagine the look or what he'll be thinking.. to see us getting into the 2nd cab?
the lucky fella, with a girl on each of his side... tsk tsk
forced by the 2 ladies ... to take pic... haiz. surprising right? that for the first time i dont wanna take pics.. dunno wot that toy is..
over there, we realised that the parents are quite.. supportive is not the word.. but its like, the parents do not stop their kids from playing arcarde i tell you. every time the kids GAME OVER on a particular game, the mom will actually offered them with MORE coins! never once they'll say "Stop playing and lets go home and study". good hor this kind of parents? dont think you'll get to see much here.
after touring around the whole building - its GIGANTIC i tell you!! feels almost like we were in IMM but its a whole lot bigger and they have this candy store that sells.... the candy tin that was in this anime - grave of the fireflies (*.*)
bought it without a second thought. soon bian bought this sweet where it'll 'pop' in your mouth the moment it touched water. loved that! yummy!!!! bought another 2 packets for my friends in germany & japan to try. =D
dinner... von was suggesting this place where she ate before.. a seafood restaurant and.. we managed to find our way there as she wasn't really sure of the exact route. it was fun lah, in a way.
yummylicious!!!!!!
looks like joe cant wait to attack the food, after doing so many missions.. haha
von is more interesed in the Beggar's Chicken broth..
it was quite late by the time we started heading back.. it was fun and there's no rush to return to SG, just to beat the peak period.. fun and tiring.. yet enjoyable
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
sigh... had realised one thing... the more you try to avoid doing something, the more it'll come to you.
since secondary school, i hated Business studies, partly was because of my dad's business and also it sounded too dry to me. avoided taking up that course in poly. yet.. now, after working for some time, i realised that i cant avoid business forever, as its everywhere!
did i mention that im planning to study? to return to school? what do i have in mind huh? after thinking for a really long time, it came to light.. that i still need to do a Degree in Business Management / studies... sigh. guess that sounds the most logical thing to do. ey, degree leh. unlike when i was younger, where i can afford to study whatever course i want. degree = long time commitment + costly. so i dont wish to waste my money to study a course that will not be useful in future.
tried avoiding ang mohs.. and ended up. they just proved one thing to me.
they are not to be trusted. this statement is not for all but just the majority out there, esp those in sg. they just sux and lack that sincerity. kns. they are.
and... just heard a piece of news from someone.. i knew there was a major transfer coming up and i wished with all my heart that i will not go to oub.... but.. my source told me that there is a high chance that i'll be transferred over.. haiz.. i'd love to pull my father and my fave fat uncle along with me.. can?
last but not the least.. was watching tv and saw this mv... how true.. for some people.
mom: isn't it weird that why indians have such big, beautiful eyes and nice nose but they are just dark in colour..
ver: just like us, not nice eyes and nose but are fair (in a way)

Was talking about the rainy weather with nicole and one of her customers actually mentioned to her that it's going to rain on thursday because of the "Niu Lang and Zhi Nu". It's their tears because they reunite once a year only.
out of curiousity, i went to check up on wiki for the story. Read it and find it quite interesting that i'd love to share with all.

The story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl
In late summer, the stars Altair and Vega are high in the night sky, and the Chinese tell the following love story, of which there are many variations:
A young cowherd named Niulang (Chinese: 牛郎; pinyin: niú láng; literally "the cowherd", the star Altair) happens across seven fairy sisters bathing in a lake. Encouraged by his mischievous companion the ox, he steals their clothes and waits to see what will happen. The fairy sisters elect the youngest and most beautiful sister Zhinü (simplified Chinese: 织女; traditional Chinese: 織女; pinyin: zhī nǚ; literally "the weaver girl", the star Vega) to retrieve their clothing. She does so, but since Niulang has seen her naked, she must agree to his request for marriage. She proves to be a wonderful wife, and Niulang a good husband. They lived happily and had two children. But the Goddess of Heaven (in some versions Zhinü's mother) finds out that a mere mortal has married one of the fairy girls and is furious. (In another version, the Goddess forced the weaver fairy back to her former duty of weaving colorful clouds in the sky because she could not do her job while married to the mortal.) Down on Earth, Niulang is very upset learning that his wife is gone. Suddenly, his cow begins to talk telling him that if he kills him and puts on his hide, he will be able to go up to Heaven to find his wife. With tears flowing, he killed the cow, put on the skin and carrying his two children with him and off he went to Heaven to find Zhinü. The Goddess found out he had come and was very angry. Taking out her hairpin, the Goddess scratches a wide river in the sky to separate the two lovers forever (thus forming the Milky Way, which separates Altair and Vega).
Zhinü must sit forever on one side of the river, sadly weaving on her loom, while Niulang watches her from afar and takes care of their two children (his flanking stars β and γ Aquilae or by their Chinese names Hè Gu 1 and Hè Gu 3).
But once a year all the magpies in the world take pity on them and fly up into heaven to form a bridge (鵲橋, "the bridge of magpies", Que Qiao) over the star Deneb in the Cygnus constellation so the lovers may be together for a single night, the seventh night of the seventh moon.
It is said that if it rains on the night of Qi Xi, they are the tears of Niulang and Zhinü crying at the misery of their life.

lyrics at the bottom
Music To Watch Girls By
The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss
Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care
It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
"What's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by
Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care
It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
"What's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by
The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
La, la, la ,la
last but not the least... saw this clip on mtv and kinda like at first.. but now that im listening to it again.... hmmmm think i still prefer "Apologize" by One Republic ft. Timbaland.
listen to it for yourself. =)
