Today was supposed to meet the gang for bodyworks exhibition but i think its not meant to be.... cos we have postponed it for the 10th time. so we settle for dinner instead. We decided on a place called SPRUCE at Phoenix Park which is at the redhill end of tanglin road. (pardon the camera and sucky photos... and i am trying to get used to blogspot's new formatting it is driving me crazy)
we decided to meet at 630pm since its a sunday and i wanna go home and sleep.... and of cos.... people decide to go to work on a sunday for GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON and came 70mins late.
Thank god carol came on time so we ate first. Wah spruce food is damn shiok please.... its like PS cafe without the crowd. so quaint and so homely and food is.... yumz. 8gz next time we can go explore there, i think u will LOVE IT.
my european burger with blue cheese
and carol's rotisserie chicken!!
so yeap.... after everyone came. of cos i had to be a super bitch and bitch to them about time management.... but watevs. they will always be late..... super short post for a super short gathering. till next time!
Eh this week's dance was totally slack... cos it was only one day. skipped one day and the other day got cancelled. and woohooo i made it to the EL. bitches beware i will knock you outta it. hahah. kidding. frenly frenly...
was supposed to have an aglio olio cook off on friday but ended up mq cooked for everyone cos peter and i were too damn lazy. and no one seemed to reply to our emails so we called it off! Was quite fun cos we took turns to cook! That includes cooking noobs like ct and alexis, which was surprisingly edible. haha. mine was a complete failure cos the pasta was too hard....... not my fault ok. i was not familiar with the kitchen in hall. and that is a valid excuse.
got dead drunk again and when i am drunk i send random people i love you messages.... uh huh. i have too much free love for everyone...actually not random people la. of cos they are people i know but. it's only to a select few.... aww so sweet right i am faithful at heart and not a complete whore like how people perceive me.
and when i am drunk i am generous. cos i didnt make step pay for the taxi ride back cos i am just too nice that way. hahhaa. not only that la cos she sends me home sometimes.... you give to receive and receive to give right. karma karma. the bloody cb taxi driver obviously knew i was this close to puking cos he sped like a road rage on steriods and that made me wanna puke more. true enuff i puke once i opened the door.... ahhhh this story sounds all too familiar. yeah. i puked out all my aglio olio, now dyed red becos of the wine, all over my void deck. it was still there the morning after.... damn embarrassed. i think i even saw birds eating my puke. the circle of life. gotta love that. and drunk bird?? got to love that even more.
went to my frens place for some gathering or so i thot.... saw cindy and jinwei along the way and they were carrying presents and i was like "shit is it someone's birthday?"and they were like "no, it's housewarming.u mean u didnt know" and i'm like "OMG. how the hell would i know if no one tells meeeee. i am screwed can i just share your presents pleasepleaseplease". thank god they were kind to let me share. ok mini fiasco aside my GOD the condo was so chic please. people on the ground floor had their own private lap pools!! kill me now... how come all my frens can afford condos and i am still living with my parents. FML.
anyhoos proceeded to Supperclub to meet the dancers for some clubbing action. we had our own bed this time and we got to go in for free! yay thanks to DJ AMY aka step's samron. all i can say is step u are a major slutwhore. but she is hotter than ur ex. so..... one up to u! the club was pretty empty when we first arrived... it was afterall only 1030pm. but it filled up gradually to maximum capacity with all sorts of random voguelicious, angmohs, ah tiongs and super a lot of mats. the music was pretty good and we practised our dance steps while dancing!!! we were awesome.
my mouth was dying to eat something so i went over to macs to eat beef prosperity meal.... wah lao super shiok. but i felt so unsatisfied i bought mcwings. sinful like hell but just what i needed. comfort food. went back to the club later and ct tried to gg some lame-ass girl in hideous clothes but she ignored her like 3 times. HAHAA sorry. not hot enuff... epic fail. dance like mad till 3 and decided to call it a nite cos old man needs to sleep. and so did the bitches.... not young and supple anymore. feeling the effects of old age too right. muahahahaha. say hi to wrinkles and eyebags. and a paunch.
yeah gotta haul my ass out to orchard and bua with the crowd for my cny clothes. totally no inspiration this year i might just go visiting in tshirts and jeans. BOHRING. but aiyah really dunno what to wear already la! i mean.... guys only have jeans pants and shorts and tshirt shirt. how many permutations can u get man. tmd. sucks to be us. aye. super tired.... may not go in the end also.... zZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZ
an extra value meal at McDonald's..... or "2 piece chicken meal original both thighs change coleslaw to cheesefries pleaseeeee" at KFC. ultimate comfort food. gotta love that.
waking up thinking u are late for work when it's actually a saturday.
fireworks
having a mid week drink.... wine. beer. cocktail. *hic
flippin thru old photos.....
dance.
finding a 10cent coin on the floor
the fresh smell of rain
the Eiffel Tower sparkling in the cold Parisian night
It's official... Lest the time I was down with chicken pox, this is perhaps the longest I've ever been sick. 2 weeks of semi-recovery from the flu/cough/sore throat and then getting it back again and then coughing like mad at nite before sleeping.... ENUFF man. stupid body. I swear i'm gonna sleep at 1130pm tonite! To make things worse, my left ear has been buzzing since yesterday and it's annoying the shit outta me. argh. this is such a bad bad year. and it's only january. yay.
Was too early for dance on Friday.... since the bitch was having training i decided to go crash her crib. Eh bitch, time to change that mouse.... better yet time to change that laptop. it's lagging like shit. wanted to try and sleep but realised the bed was so uncomfortable... no wonder i always wake up halfway thru my sleep when i was in hall. hall bed sucks major balls.
the dance itself was tired to say the least.... confusing. annoying. the song. gosh. no words for it. was so glad it was over. last minute plans to go to some pub at Bukit timah with quan ct and alexis.... the pub was closed so we went brewerks instead... whacked some pretty awesome snackers platter... was so hungry cos i didnt eat dinner. happy like bird.
Woke up at 9plus to go visit my sister at her in-laws (@Jurong West... Extension).... i think i woke up on the wrong side of the bed cos the whole way i waspissing my parents off and they were pissing me off and i was in a prumpiness maximus mood. spent at hour there and thankfully she is getting better :)..... came home went swimming (think thats where the left ear got fucked) and pissed my mother more and got into an arguement and i got so tired of the drama i went to sleep.
Woke up at hour later and needed to get outta the house pronto so i dun have to see my parents. Figured i still had some time to kill before going to red dot so i went to watch movie alone. Ok i know most people dun like watching movies alone. like it's damn loser.... but i really have NO PROBLEMS watching shows myself because most shows i like, no one likes. I just hate the part when i am buying tickets and the counter person asks "how many tickets" and you say "one"...... fuck i hate that feeling. like suddenly everyone stops what they are doing and give a collective GASP at the mere utter of the phrase "one.... just me". it's like the morning-after-sex walk of shame. GOD I HATE THAT. ok shuddap.
So I went to watch NEW YORK I LOVE YOU which most people hated but i really liked it. i liked how its a show about everything but also about nothing at all. the style of the film. the white washed images. artsy fartsy i loved it!! And i love ensemble movies.... and the next one i am seriously anticipating is VALENTINE'S DAY! I can pretty much envision the movie to bomb in reviews but i dun care i still wanna watch it.
Since i think i will still be single in about 3 weeks.... anyone wanna watch with me?
Went over to red dot to meet the dancers for about an hour which was pretty fun while it lasted. ate wings and drank beer. good company. couldnt ask for more. but i had to meet khalid at some other bar so i left early...
Which brings me to today's blog title. If you were to introduce yourself to someone u know you probably wouldnt meet for the next half of your life, what fake name would u give yourself.....I used to call myself Justin (ok ha ha u can laugh now) but i decided to change that for another totally uncool name. JAMES. gotta love that.... anything is better than Hubert right. Seriously.... geez. I know, fake names. thats lame but its cheap thrill too... like giving a fake name to that starbucks coffee lady who's taking your order of caramel macchiato. Speaking of names, if i could go back in time to change my name, it would totally be Isaac. Do i have an Isaac face? hhahaha. I'm not christian and i know it's like a biblical name but who cares..... i just like the way it sounds.
Ok anyways. did some major last bit of spring cleaning today. I AM TOTALLY DONE. yes. amazed at my powers of multitasking. i can watch tv and eat at the same time. watch tv and iron. watch tv and sort out my cabinet and wipe the shelves. yay to me :) and i found like 2 bottles of wine which i totally forgot existed and they are both now chilling (literally) in the fridge waiting to serve their purpose in life later...... which is to make me happy.
methinks it was a pretty tiring weekend and i am so ready to take a nap right now.
darn it it has been more than a week since i am sick. looks like my mummy's right. i have to sleep early..... but i cant help it. i am a night owl... how how how.
immensely unsatisfied with my life right now. dunno what and dunno why.... just immensely unsatisfied. seems like what i envisioned myself doing 5-years-later 5 years ago doesnt really match up....
yay the body aches are almost gone and the peeling of the skin is finally at its last few stages.... say hello to brand new skin. haha. told you my skin was retarded....
seriously dun think i have time to shop for CNY clothes
and should seriously revert back to my no-carbo for dinner diet which was working sorta well for about a month.
methinks it's gonna be a shitty shit week at work next week. aye.
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
1. my boss is going for maternity leave in April. i become the most "senior" in my dept despite my rank... the horror. May and June seems busy. which also means jheng jheng jheng.... my europe trip maybe delayed. darns.
2. i am in desperate need for new socks. the old ones just would stay anymore.
3. i have to take minutes AGAIN cos the secretary is on leave today. darns x 2
4. please let the sore throat go away asap. weekend is coming and i dun wanna stay at home nursing the throat.
5. whole body is aching after one dance practice.... suddenly feel like pulling out. dunno why. but probably wun.
your preconceived notions may be forced to change. opinions change. you dunno what to feel. you dunno what to do. you feel so helpless u dunno how to help. not a very good start to the year. i hope my family can pull thru...
Most anticipated event of the year = COUNTDOWN TO 2010!!! But before that. behold new year, new image..... BABOOSH!! channelling bryanboy. sorry i couldnt resist. ok back with the programme.
A couple of colleagues and i went to red dot brewhouse for some pre-countdown chill out after work.... sadly, red dot's food has gone down the drain, and the service still majorly stinks... even the beer isnt all that nice now. only the chicken wings are decent now..... red dot is OVAH. i feel embarrassed recommending that place to my colleagues man.
After that i took a train half drunk to swissotel.... room 5353 confirm 4d first prize!!! I mean LOOK AT THE VIEW isnt it stunning?!?
Right smack in the middle of all the action!!! but since i reached at 4 i decided to have a 3some in bed with mas mas and water. Aili was relegated to being the maid serving us food and drinks..... hahhaa. kidding.
Since we had a million bottles of alcohol, champagne, white wine, red wine we decided to start feeding on them early.... evidence as follows....
We even had to chill the stuff in the basin damn haps right cannot take it. not enuff room in the plastic bags of ice.
We had dinner at the most potong steam places..... FOODCOURT because aili wanted to quote unquote "eat healthily".... erms ok. alright la.... i can eat my chap chye peng. after that went back to the room to continue drinking and errrrrrrrr play boardgames. HAHA.
of cos i didnt play la cos i mean..... i am not a big fan of board games. it aint ma thang. i just entertained myself dancing and gyrating in front of the sliding door looking at my hawt self in reflection in a half drunk state playing all the songs from yunn's super zai speakers and nano.
And then the mysterious guest of the evening finally arrived!!! WELCOME BACK BI DE PARKER!!!! you totally lost weight compared to the last time i saw u in the states. back to your former glory :))) hahaha.
So anyway i dunno how i self entertained for 3 hours (i dun remember half the things that happened that nite) cos by then it was 10 plus and i went down to pick up ct who just came back from Europe.... and then we got so hungry we went down again to buy macs for supper before the countdown. THANK GOD we werent part of the crowd cos it was PACKED like sardine curry puffs.... craziness.
so fast forward i ate my mcspicy (shiokanehneh) and then 10987654321. IT'S 2010!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Sorry ah my cam sucks. what i remembered from that nite thou was i was screaming like a siao kia at the stroke of midnite and threatened to throw down a glass into the crowd just for fun (ok but i DIDNT. once more, DIDNT). i do apologise for acting like an idiot haha. so out comes the champagne and we drank like fishes.... repeat process. DEN I FORGOT WHAT HAPPENED la... except we played some random drinking games, peter went to puke and i woke up at 6 realising all of them were STILL PLAYING BOARDGAMES den i joined aili in bed.
So yeah that was new years eve, didnt do much for NYD except stone in ma room and then went to meet khalid at nite for some drinking.... didnt spend too long there as i had to wake up early on the 2nd day of new year to go to.........
SENTOSA. ok quite fun.... work out of the week. i am so badly burnt i think i am going to peel for the next 2 weeks.... we sneaked into rasa sentosa to use the shower and i actually jumped into the pool cos it was too darn inviting..... but couldnt escape the eagle eyes of the guards..... DAMMIT do i not look like a guest!! EPIC FAIL. ok never mind.... so we played till the cows came home and we broke tradition and ate carls junior instead of kay eff cee..... damn i have a craving for some black pepper chicken now cos everyone i know is against eating kfc i DUNNO WHY.
Sunday ah.... did nothing except stay at home and slabbed a lot of moisturizer on my body and face, when to ah ma house for dinner and then went to Rebel for some clubbing which was alright i guess.... did some major spring cleaning today and it's jheng jheng jheng back to work tmr..... FML to the maximum spider.....
these 2 weeks of nonstop long breaks really brought all momentum i had for work to a sudden halt.... super sian to go back to work and praying hard that CHINESE NEW YEAR will come very very soon.... and even then the holiday isnt a lot also. super sian super sian cannot take it..... aye. do we have to go thru this everyyear cos its so..... heartbreaking.
Anyway i was looking thru all my old photos while spring cleaning... went thru some photos from europe way back in 04. i had a full head of blonde hair and oh-no-you-didnt fashion faux pas... very entertaining. realised my sister looks so much prettier with long hair.... and we both looked so young. now she's gonna be a mother and then i emo-ed a bit. and then i saw my army photos and my trip to phuket..... my god i actually had a faint hint of abs..... so sad. so so sad..... aiyah.... that was all in the last decade..... a new decade is coming and i am gonna turn 30 (*screams in horror) in 4 years. shudders..... sorry sorry lemme emo a bit..... shit man.
