Karaoke again
Hehe. Why do i love ktv so much? Mabbe it's a way for me to release the stress in me. I just love to sing. ANyway, it's not that expensive with a lunch thrown in. works out to 9 bucks. cheap way to spend three hours. Plus it's something i love.
Many singers have released their newest albums. So there are many songs to practise. Too little time....Too many songs i wanted to sing. :( Have to go again some time soon. We got booted out of the room even before 2 pm. Sigh. So punctual. There was one time i even got to sing till 4 pm. Perphaps they had forgotten about us. I hope they are more forgetful. Beneficial to the customers. :D
The chase and the wait
We are caught up in the chase and ended up in the wait everyday. In the mornings, I rush out of the house to chase after the bus. This morning, it was no exception. The traffic light refused to turn to the green man and I sadly watched my bus pull out of the bus stop. The two women who were with me at the traffic light had dashed across the road to catch the bus. And they made it. These days I have come to the conclusion that I should not risk my life to chase after the bus. It’s just not worth it. Can just wait for the next bus lor. If you miss a bus, there is always a next one, right?
So I waited. The bus took a long time to arrive. By then I was fuming. I get angry easily. Been learning to control my temper. When I reached the bus stop, I walked briskly towards the MRT station and took a glance at the display screen. Next train: 2 mins. Ok, better hurry. I decided to take the lift instead of the escalator in my attempt to catch the train. But as the lift door was about to close, a lady pressed the door open. Warrao. When the door was about to close again, some other people pressed the door open yet again. Needless to say, I missed the train. It was another long wait. Actually, it was just a few minutes. But when you are rushing for work, seconds may feel like an eternity….
Going to work can involve a strategy game. To run or not to run across the road; to take the lift or to take the escalator. Sadly, I made all the wrong choices today.
Hot pot steamboat
Felt so excited to meet Jam n Menu for a hot date. It was a super hot date. Especially with hot pot steamboat. Nowadays i end up waiting for them to arrive. They were late again. Wat to do? Hot date must wait lor!
At least it was something i looked forward to. Eating + chatting with my dearest frens. Ma la huo guo is really an experience not to be missed. We had our tongues burnt. We threw the food into the hot pot section and the food became so spicy that we ended up eating normal steamboat with the chicken stock.
So totally lau yah. The tables around us were like adding more chilli to their pots. And we dared not even throw the food into the hot pot to cook. Anyway, the funny thing was that the most well received dishes were the fried chicken wings and the fried buns. Haha Jam ate 5 buns, 2 more than menu and i. Beware, later u L club ah. :P
By the way, we are not supposed to throw the food into the hot pot. We did some spyin and observed that pple actually scooped some soup out into the bowl. Then they dipped the food in before eating. Maybe that is the secret. The way we were eating, the food had sucked up all the spicy soup.
sunglasses indoors?
Wat is it with sunglasses? sunglasses= increase hip quotient?? Aiyoh, if got confidence, no sunglasses also hip lor. There is somebody who wears sunglasses in the lab. erm the lights in the lab very strong meh? but anyway, the glasses are not worn but perched on the head. ???? sunglasses headband? new fashion accessory? i dunno.
i always wonder why people wear sunglasses indoors. so can anyone enlighten me?
Cravings
I dunno why i suddenly feel like eating mac. Must be the lure of the mac coupons which came with the straits times. If you buy an extra value meal, you get something else free. I always like freebies though they come at a cost (remember the buy $90 and get $5 off at watsons. what was i thinking??!!). So this time round, i could not resist the offer.
It was starting to drizzle when i left the house. I thought to myself: do i really wanna walk all the way (one bus stop) to mac? or should i just eat ban mian which is just one block away? in the end, i still wanted mac. so unhealthy. wat to do??? cravings are like that.
I ordered double chicken mcspicy. AND i bought two toy bookmarks. they looked very cute. bought cinnamonroll and melody. hello kitty already out of stock. the lady asked me if i wanna buy badbadsmaru (erm pardon my spelling. it's the penguin). oh no, shouldn't spend more. so i resisted. Happily, i walked home with my purchases.
BUT the chicken not very spicy leh. Thesedays seem to have developed a stronger resistance to chilli. Not shiok enough. My next craving will be tom yam soup, extra spicy.
Non event presentation
As some of you who have been reading my blog will know, i am supposed to have a presentation. Was a bundle of nerves subconsciously. Why do i say subconsciously? Cos i did not think that i was that nervous. BUT all the symptoms i had pointed to my mental state of bad-being. I had fever the day before. Felt nauseous (dun think too much) in the morning. Plus my stomach was churning.
In the end, the presentation turned out to be not that stressful. Cos the director directed the questions to our supervisor. Haha the sup were getting grilled instead. I wanted to make my presentation clear n easy to understand. I tried. I tested on my bro. He said that the front parts were clearer than the back parts. He picked on my funny pronunciation for words with-ty. like stability and productivity and possibility. They sounded very weird when all the words with -ty were strung together in one sentence. the reason? i tend to end high pitched with the -ty. i can demo the next time we meet up. haha.
There was one intern who said that he did not understand my presentation totally. I was askin myself if that was possible. Cos even if i dun understand some parts, there should be minor parts i understand??? Surely, it cant be that bad? Anyway, i told him that i could explain to him again when there was available time later. Some of the interns also asked me some questions privately after the presentation. They must have followed parts of my presentation to ask me questions. So at least some pple did understand me. Phew.....
Miss Panda eyes
I am Miss Panda eyes officially. My tuition kid actually says i got dark rings around my eyes. I did see them in the mirror a couple of times. As they grew darker and darker to their present state. My kid then suggested I tried the mtm products or just use tea bags. Oh well.....
My panda eyes can be attributed to a lack of sleep. Haven been sleeping that much lately. About six to seven hours a day. This is definitely insufficient for me. I am a piggy. I need more and more sleep. The sleep debt is accumulating. And can never be repaid. Nothing i can do about that. Sigh....
Freaked out
Gosh I am totally freaked out. By the rest of the interns. They are so prepared for the presentation next tue. Some had already had trial runs with their supervisors. I was thinking to myself: it’s next week, still got time to do the presentation slides. I am the last minute kind of person. Anyway, this really motivates me to work harder. I shall get the slides done asap. No more procrastinating cos my sup is helping me to look through tomorrow.
$pendthrift!!
I am totally shocked at myself. I have been on a buying spree lately. I actually visited Jurong Point twice this week!! Whenever I am bored, I will just go walk walk. The nearest place with many shops for me to walk around will be Jurong Point. There are really many different types of shops. Ok ok, I shall not do further free promotion.
So wat have I bought lately? In less than a month, I have bought three pairs of shoes (I am a shoe freak. I absolutely cannot resist any sale), one top (I actually wanted to buy more t-shirts, but could not find the ones I like) plus ninety dollars worth of products from watsons (cos I wanted to redeem the 5 bucks off for my reward card). Kinda horrified over wat I have done. Gasp.
