hide and seek


just finished watching the finale for OC season 2. stunning. very darkly melancholic beautifully screwed. and it ends with a cliffhanger! season 3 is 2 months away.

bored bored bored. slacked the whole day away today at home and spent most of the day transferring entries from my pitas blog to my blogspot blog. i'm still stuck at feb 04. at least i know there's an end to it and if i work hard enough, an end to it soon. there's a certain sense of non-committment to this blog now with regards to the entries as well as their frequency cos i dun wanna copy so much later. looking back at my past entries i'm amazed at the amount of rubbish i churn out and the very very occasional bit of good writing. sads.

regarding my work situation, the asst. manager only scheduled me to start next week so this week is free. quite good too since i'm not that free and tmr is wed night. whee. we shall see how it goes?

2 parties coming up this sat. one at hideout, a sch uniform party which sounds really really interesting and another at indochine. ooh lala. dun think i'll be going to either though. say only no action one.

bahs. i spend half my life waiting for things to happen.

i need a charity fund


hungry.

dinner soon then, just a quick blog. right, i'm blogging! that either shows that 1, i'm at my bro's com, or 2, i'm blogging with a new monitor! and the correct answer is option 2. yes yes another monitor. my house is filled with monitors. i shall count them. 3 defective monitors, 1 current one bought from Cash Converters for 29bux (damn cheap!), 1 with my bro's com and 2 tvs. that means i have 7 CRTs in the house currently. WOAH.

met up with jm and cy at amk lib then we went around amk central walk around buy bread then they brought me to the newly opened Cash Converter shop. as they say, one man's garbage is another's treasure. that place is like a treasure trove then, filled with 2nd hand goods. good to see that items have a life beyond the garbage. nearly gotten for this computer a set of Creative speakers at 39 bux! its the exact one my bro has, and i've heard its ability. too bad there's another man who wanted the speakers and fate has it that i'm to be content with my Mercury 3D Sound Speaker, Multimedia. yucks. but neh mine, next time i got more money and i got lap top i can invest in better sound gear.

i'm like extremely super duper uber cannot-make-it broke now. i have 1.97 in my posb now. boohoo.

and GSS had to be here. thinking of the amount that i have to spend in the future scares me. laptop, hostel rent, expenses for food and new clothes, my braces, driving lessons (i'm determined to learn them someday), a better mp3 player, cool speakers for my laptop..

and movie prices are so ex but there are so many movies to catch! hitchhiker guide (which i heard sux), batman begins, war of the worlds, mr. and mrs smith. and darn i missed Sylvia on the preview cable channel yesterday. and there's Meet Joe Black (Pitt was so young and handsome then..) that i missed. shall rent the vcd to watch them someday. watched some corny american horror flick Jeepers Creepers instead. a very cheesy flick indeed.

hungry. ta.

armenian dances


arghhs i can't blog properly about anything. this sucks, i need my uni laptop now! sigh and the weather nowadays is horrific. hot n humid. anyway so i started on my waitressing job at Liquid Kitchen (btw, its on the Life! papers, check it out!) on tues night, 9pm to 2am. it was quite the learning experience, but luckily there were very few customers so i wasn't like thrown headlong into doing something that i'm doing for the first time. and the fussy asst. manager wasn't in da house so he couldn't scold me can he. but it was quite tiring la to be attentive throughout the hours and look after customers. but i've learnt to place the handle of the coffee cup on the right hand side of the customer. and to tell the customer the bill amount instead of just giving them the bill.

out of point but we get free flow of soft drinks/water from the bar! heh. and the uniform i'm supposed to wear is a orange collared blouse with black pants, and a black apron. and my shoes killed me that night. little wounds on the back of my feet, freaking ouch.

yesterday was nie band prac. the trombone section finally become not the misnomer it was as before, supported by the trombone god and another comrade. ha! fun. see, play alone no fun. play with pple more fun.

today was alumni band prac. good seeing jiahui again, esp when she plays beside me. haha. damn hot ah we sequestered in that 4 walls called the band room. its big but its hot. no aircon, how can like this treat the loyal members of nj band who came back to play for the band rite?!?!?! sighs. ok la my bro say every year the alumni is treated like this. wat to do.

anyway i went on a grocery shopping spree and bought meself 2 cartons of tomato juice! juicy juice! mine, all mine! wuaahahah. (my sis will steal it. grrs) and choc-o-laates. yummy bars of cocoa powder and milk. hehe.

i think this year etude is quite nice. in case u dunno wat it is, its the annual njcsb concert. this yr its held on the 6th of july, tix at 10/12bux, 7.30 at vch. their repertoire is freaking nice la! star wars, incredibles, phantom of opera, cry of the celts (riverdance, you know?), amazonia (gold with honours song u noe?), orient express (choo choo train, you noe??) and alumni band also var zai, var cool and var professional. you noe?!?

no confirm


feeling very non-committal to anything now. which explains why i dun even feel like blogging. more on that tmr i guess, when i have nothing to do, not even read. i finished the extremely long and political Dream of the Walled City. not bad but i feel its a bit too long for someone whose attention span has shortened considerably.

attempting to revive my blogspot blog. why? cos they have RSS, permalinks (!!!) and blogging from your email. now that's quite zai. i'll see if i can shift all my past entries from here to there tonight. but i'll still keep my pitas up dun worry.

liquid kitchen


i got a job i got a job i got a job! Yay! no more running around going for interviews, trainings whatever shit. yeah so today was as predicted, a long day, but a good one on the whole. morning was watching Magadascar! hehe that show is quite funny in a cartoony sort of way. not particularly brilliant like finding nemo or incredibles, nothing spectacular, just slapstick. but its just plain fun so yeah go watch it if you wanna just relax and not think. give it 3.5/5. the characters do not have enough depth.

(War of the Worlds opens tomorrow! Mr. and Mrs Smith on 9th June! Hitchhiker's Guide coming sooN!)

rushed to nj after that but did not go for alumni band, instead skipped straight to meeting the girls and went straight to bugis. watched a percussion concert at YMC performed by my fav. girls qilin, yulin, PK, eileen and there were 2 other familiar faces there, yihong and joy. really cool, the performance, even though it was just 1 hr and they made quite many mistakes. but its cool la, a 10-girl percussion ensemble. n they looked so pretty and zai up there too. how's that for kickin' some ass!

had to rush down to interview for my new job after that, spending a hefty 8 bucks on cabfare. but! its all worth it cos the place is damn cool and i got a job! hahahaha. ya anyway its called Liquid Kitchen and it sells like finger food (kitchen) and alcohol (liquid). sort of like a bistro. and i get to work night shifts, which i like. nocturnal, you see. WHOOPEE i can't wait to start. thanks to lurong for introducing me to it :D

yeps after this got prata with the gang that i've not seen for so long. yaaay today is a good day.

fresh start


right so i got sick of my previous template, again. and to celebrate a fresh start because of another moniter (courtesy of nicole, thanks!) replacing the old kaput one, here's to a new template! anyhow choose from blogskins one la. too lazy to design one now.

nothing much to update, cept that i got dua-ed by nie band cos nobody told me that there's no band and i silly silly go all the way to boon lay, nie band room door, only to find out band's cancelled. f*ck. i hate being PSed. F*CK i tell you. waste me bloody time you bloody pple. i'm damn sian of this already. really. do i really have any obligations to that band? do i?

on another note, on the train back home on that awefully long journey, 2 backpackers boarded the train. one sat opposite me and one beside me. they are super tall and carry huge backpacks. they looked every inch like the european backpackers roughing it out in a hot, tropical asian country, complete with the sunburns, lonely planet guidebk to Southeast Asia (i'm serious they took the book out) and the tribal necklaces (whats up with that, anyway). but the point is one of them, the one sitting beside me, is incredibly cute. as in handsome! haha and i suspect they are french. doubly sexy! sigh i regretted not talking to them, i mean, they stayed on the train for so long! just a "hi there, so where are you from?" arghs. so so incredibly hot.

long long day tmr. 4 events all lined up side by side, from morning till night. wish me luck.
