random ramblings

are pandas and koalas bears? nope!

got a call from Jackies home number again today. she will probably say it wasn't her again...

Going to Cherry Tin's house. sort of a farewell thingy. she going to australia for bible school and hopefully find a husband. Joyce holds Cherry in high esteem.To me she is just an uptight pain in the arse.Much to Joyce's chagrin I came up with a few names for Cherry's kids.

- Kara Tin (keratine..geddit?)
- Biscuit Tin
- Milo Tin (ya know Milo is a greek god?)
- Very Tin (not fat either)
- Madeof Tin
- Tiny Tin
- Empty Tin
- Rin Tin Tin
- Pushing Tin (something for someone in the aeronautics field)

My phone goes off sometimes when someone calls in or sends me a message. Gotta get it checked out soon...

speaking of problems with electronic communication devices; my cordless phone at home is faulty. solution: see above

Seriously considering joining as a SAFRA member.

Gotta remember to transfer the cash to Joyce's account tomorrow. ...

Really enjoy being with Camou on runs. He is not unlike me. Roaming free. As the wind. Not quite.
Had a great time the other day at Lower Pierce. We ran like lunatics. Even chased a few joggers and a troop of monkeys (actually Camou with me in tow).

Had a hard time today with the transferance of pics from my PC to my phone.Grrr...spoilt my whole mood in the afternoon.

My song of the week: If I Ain't Got You

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things define what’s within
And I been there before but that’s life’s a bore, so full of the superficial
Chorus:
Some people want it all, but I don’t want nothing at all
If it aint you baby, if I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything
But everything means nothing if I aint got you, yeah
Some people search for a fountain
The promise is forever young
(You know) Some people need 3 dozen roses
And that’s the only way to prove you love them
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what, what would it be?
With no one to share with no one who truly cares for me
Chorus:
Some people want it all, but I don’t want nothing at all
If it aint you baby, if I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything
But everything means nothing if I aint got you, you, you
Some people want it all, but I don’t want nothing at all
If it aint you baby, if I aint got you baby
Some people want diamond rings, some just want everything
But everything means nothing if I aint got you, yeah
If aint got you with me baby, ohh, ooo
Say nothing in this whole wide world don’t mean a thing
If I aint got you with me bab

shopping for a home

After her work, picked Joyce from Sun Plaza. We then went to my place. We intended to view a couple of showflats in the Upper Bukit Timah area. ...

.

The Linear was not too far from MINDEF hence the height restrictions. The building is so named because it resembles an elongated box. The closest approximation I can make is to the airport or tanah merah MRT stations. You know.....long....saucer like design....

We had the usual show-around the various room models and all and even talked to the sales rep about the installment schemes.Bwaahaaaa...



Second stop was gardenvista. I kinda liked the 2 room apartments.

After that we went to Simply Bread at Guthries House for dinner. Joyce loves ciabatta and Simply Bread's bread is simply the best (pun intended). But the ciabattas were out of stock. So we instead walked around to the coffee shop nearby and ordered wan ton noodles and dry prawn noodles.

After dinner we filled up Sunny at the SPC near my place before sending her (Joyce ...not Sunny) home.

I realised on my way back that the u-turn at Canberra Road was closed off so I had to make a long detour around Admiralty Road-Wooodlands Ave 12-SLE to get home.In the end it took me nearly 1/2 an hour to do what normally takes 10 to 15 mins at most to get home.

13 going on 30

Watched it with Joyce.

Was really good except for the 'happy ever after' ending. Jennifer Garner is really great in the role. She looks to be the next Julia Roberts.

About a 13 year old who wishes to be 30 (duh!). In the end she learns how the decision she made at age 13 affects others and how being 'cool' is not everything.

rating: 8 out of 10

Her name...

Her name starts with a “J” and ends with an “E”
For some reason, this girl means the world to me

I care about this girl more than she could possibly see
Come to think about it, I actually carved our initials into a tree.

We got together when we were both very young,
And now that I look back on it, I think it was pretty dumb.

We were both young and rushed into things we probably shouldn’t have done,
But I think about these things, and they sure were fun.

We got in a couple fights and I regret them all,
But I had time to learn from them, all through summer and fall

I look back on times I would love to re-live,
Like camping, fishing, and when she was in the mood to give.

I don’t mean for this poem to be funny, the situation is pretty serious
But the mere thought of it all, makes me a little delirious.

Not in a bad way, I always speak for the good,
But from my position, I don’t think I should
If I thought it was a good idea, Then I probably would.

Now I’m in a situation I never thought I would be in,
When I think about what I did to her, thought itself turns to sin.

I’m trying to rebuild and construct what we used to own,
But it’s so farfetched, we can only talk about it on the phone.

On one side of the room I see a wonderful future,
While on the other side I see a horrific past.
Yet I stand in the middle, where the present is moving way too fast.

to blog or not to blog...

I can't seem to get into any rhythm or gain any momentum as far as posting blogs these days. Wonder why....

I guess my mind is somewhere else...or rather...on someone...kekeke....

5 day weeks beckon

Well they were supposed to announce today how we will go about the 5-Day Week thing the PM announced at the ND Rally.

The idea is that we will alternate Saturdays-Sundays and Sundays-Mondays off among the staff. Sounds good on paper...remains to be seen...

someone who rhymes with witch...

Guess who...

I just can't stand her!!! Errrrgghhh!!!

*pulls hair out*

week do

Thursday

After class went to Arab Street/Beach Road with Hasli to look at fishing stuff. Thereafter met Joyce for some roller blading near her place. Was tough but I made some improvements.

Friday

Did not blade. Went for black pepper crab at Joo Chiat Place.

As I am writing this the silly commercial about buying a mattress and getting a free handphone comes on. *barf*

After dinner, went to Joyce's place.

*cheesy grin*

Saturday

After work went to pick up Joyce. Joyce and I were to do the second part of the spring cleaning of the abyss otherwise known as My Room. Threw up lotsa junk (which it turns out the other members of my family took all the junk back in). I am beginning to think it is a family tradition to keep junk.

In the evening we went for dinner at Changi Yacht Club. Noel got kinda lost getting there. The food was ordinary. The prices exhorbitant. Total bill came up for $180 for an ordinary meal.Not gonna go back there anytime soon...

Sunday

Church.

After church had dinner at the food court place at Le Meridien. Was good value for money. Will be paying it a visit again soon..
