~BORED~

I am so bored.
I AM SO BORED.
I aM sO bOrEd.
i Am So BoReD.
I Am So Bored.
I aM sO boreD.
I Am So BOREd.

I am so bored that I am trying out other ways to type the same sentence, over and over again.

Life's great.

PS: Miffed that I'm missing the Zendikar pre-release tomorrow. CCB! =(

Wish I had more time with her...

I was in the middle of a Chain Revolver combo courtesy of my favourite gunner babe from BlazBlue, Noel Vermillion, when my mobile vibrated. I checked it, and it turns out that I actually had tuition in an hour's time. So upsetting can? I thought I could have one more round of combo practice in the arcade before heading off to do my market research. =(

I ended up buying the books before rushing to tuition. So now I have about 5 Primary 1 Grammar Practice/Activity books to look through. Spent $34.57 on them...must claim back from the company.

I am thinking about what to do with that ONE remaining token still sitting snugly in my right pants pocket. I wanna play!

Argh!

Food, just Food...

Spending the day with L normally equates to the consumption of waistline-unfriendly amounts of food. This happened last Saturday. Here are some pictures:

 

 

 

I just love food. Heehee.

Love this song...

Watched Sayang Sayang that day on Channel 5. I really like this song....A LOT.

(The video has an annoying Channel 5 advert for 2 secs in the beginning, but overall, the video and sound quality of this video is the best I've found so far.)

It's Time For Sayang Sayang


There seems so many things that lie before us
There's just so many things we want to do
But let's just stop and pause
For just a moment cause
We should do something special...me and you

It's time for sayang sayang
It's time for sayang sayang
Caring for one another 
Family and friends
It's time for sayang sayang
It's time for sayang sayang
As we go walking together, hand in hand

The time that we all love is here to treasure
A very special time of the year
These days we're sure to find
These days of yours and mine
We'll share them with the ones we hold so dear
(Hold so dear)

It's time for sayang sayang
It's time for sayang sayang
Caring for one another 
Family and friends
It's time for sayang sayang
It's time for sayang sayang
As we go walking together, hand in hand

As we go walking together, hand in hand

I am...

DAMN SLEEPY!

Fun Weekend!

I did many a great thing this weekend...

Friday
- went to do market research on competitors and began to marvel at how quickly I was able to identify the problems with the brand i.e. poor product placement which would probably indicate poor marketing relationships, poor on-the-ground awareness which is leading to CONTINUED sales problems.
- met some new coachees, and found them absolutely interesting and cool. *excited*

Saturday
- JB Day!
- Had yummy lunch.
- Had very affordable haircut.
- Shopped for -ahem- certain things related to technology.
- Had yummy seafood dinner!
- Felt fat after that... mwahahaha.
- Grateful for the company though.

Sunday
- MAGIC CUBE DRAFT!  :) So many good cards to choose from! Spoiled for choice sia...heh.

-----------------------------

I sense that today is going to be a slow day... I can already feel the drudgery pulling at the edges of my consciousness. *yawnz*

An Inspiration!

Interesting Stuff at my Workplace.

 

Platter of expensive, absolutely amazing roasts. Burned a hole in the pocket, but it was still worth it. =)

 

Funky taxi. I've never seen one like that before. Maybe I'm just ignorant. 

 

This is the first time I've seen a lucky draw being held in a coffee shop. The prizes (not featured here) were actually below the banner. But some of the prizes looked a little dubious. LOL!

Excited about the weekend + Uber quick rant

Let's rant first... here goes:

cue rant...

Just because you don't have a life and I seem to be 'happier' does not give you the right to give me stupid ass looks every time you see me do something that jars on YOUR sensibilities. If you are so unhappy about it, either come and confront me about it OR ignore me.  So choose one or the other.

Don't stay in some fucked up place where you're OBVIOUSLY unhappy, or you OBVIOUSLY have something you want to say, but you just aren't saying it.  It's okay if you want to remain a constipated excuse of a human being for the rest of your miserable life, but not when it makes you sneaky and makes you give off this eternal air of suspicion that projects itself onto just about everyone around you. Sadly, seeing as how that's probably going to be the way things go for like...ETERNITY, I guess I'm just going to have to put up with you. But mark my words...one day...I will snap, and when that happens, it's NOT going to be pretty. Because you WILL lose, in every aspect.

Some people are just so fucking repressed...gosh...and uncertain about themselves. I hate people with no opinion. It's like they don't have a stand about things in life at all. Sheesh... like PLEASE, give me something to respect about you man. I implore you...

*inhale*
*exhale*

end rant...

Now that that's out of the way, it's time to talk about more exciting things!

I will be having a short day trip to the land which is truly Asia tomorrow! Errrr...essentially, yeah. That's all. Loads of shopping and seafood dinner at night. Mwahahahaha!

Vonda Shepard - Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow

For some strange reason, this song has been stuck in my head since morning.
I just can't seem to stop humming the tune.
Weird.

OMG OMG!

This is what happens when you don't read to the end of the interview, BEFORE posting something about it.

When I got to the end of the interview between Fantasymundo and Patrick Rothfuss, I discovered that he actually gave a sneak peak into the first six lines of the sequel!


On his first hand he wore rings of stone,
Iron, Amber, Wood and Bone.
There were rings unseen on his second hand,
One blood in a flowing band,
One was air all whisper thin,
And the ring of ice had a flaw within….

Forgive me for being such a fanboy... =)

*nods in agreement*

From an interview with Patrick Rothfuss, on his experience with facing pressure on producing an excellent sequel to his novel, The Name of Wind.

About a year ago, Tim Powers said to me, "A book is late once, but it's crap forever." 

Nice. I like.

Can't wait for the sequel...

*rubs hands together in anticipation and the cold of the office*

I like cooking.

It would seem that the only time I get to blog these days is that little bit of free time in the mornings, before everything swings into high-gear. ANYWAY... the past weekend has been fun for me! It was a weekend of creative expression (sorta), and time well-spent for myself.

I cooked a lot this weekend. And I thoroughly enjoyed myself...from the grocery shopping to the food preparation to the actual cooking of the food and serving it, and of course, the EATING! (Unfortunately, no pictures though...no quality camera at the moment, maybe COMEX might come to my rescue? Heh.) I made quite a few dishes over the weekend, and these were mostly recipes I stole liberated off Tastespotting.com. Here's what I cooked:

1. Bacon Corn Chowder

Verdict: VERY GOOD. It's a semi-blended soup, and extremely flavourful, and probably a year's (or two) worth of sodium in a single serving. It was the first time I blended soup! An amazing experience, I tell you. My blender is now my new best friend! Hee.

2. Seafood Baked Rice

Verdict: The seafood wasn't the freshest thing alive...so no-go. BAD...threw it out.

3. Bacon and Pea Soup

Verdict: I prefer the corn version. The peas lend to it a thicker, but more grainy texture, which isn't removed via blending. Plus, it wasn't the bright green I hope it would be. Maybe I need to use FRESH PEAS next time...I wonder where to get those man...

4. Spinach & Cheese Spaghetti

Verdict: Just nice for my tastes, but a little too bland for the common palate. I couldn't find feta cheese in FairPrice, so I use mozzarella instead - NOT flavourful enough. Next time, I shall remember to chop the spinach up better, and use feta instead.

5. Honey Chicken Drumlets

Verdict: Super easy way to cheat with chicken, and especially if you have a sweet tooth (I'm not referring to myself) - just douse the damn meat in the usual marinating stuff: soy sauce, salt, pepper, chinese rice wine, BUT add more honey than is the norm. Voila, you now have a dish that's more like CANDIED DRUMLETS. Lol! But it was still yummy. Hee.

I'm already thinking about what to cook next already....mwahahaha.
