Feeling EXTREMELY grossed out by life right now. And of course, by certain people.
Had a pseudo-weekend yesterday, drove down to KM8 at the beach to chill out some. Drinking is incredibly expensive in Singapore, but KM8 on a weekday night is just too alluring to pass up. Almost fell asleep actually, heh.
Maybe I'll cook a little this week, just to loosen up.

I really did scratch my cornea. Which means I'll be looking nerdy the whole of today. Pretty gloomy day, with call on top of everything else. Well, at least we had fun at Sim Lim yesterday, even though I didn't end up buying anything. Still quite undecided regarding the phone issue. HTC Touch is really quite nice, surprisingly. Compared to the TytnII, it's very much lighter and so much more aesthetically-pleasing. Figured I couldn't care less about the slide out QWERTY keyboard, but TytnII is honestly so much faster, and of course, the GPS is a very nice touch indeed. The main drawback on ALL of these though, is that they run on Win Mobile. I'm not too bought by this OS. Now, if only there were a Mac OS mobile or something.
Right ... psychomotor retardation. Was doing quite a lot of thinking last night and this morning. It's not yet time to come to a decision, but it's drawing closer. To trust instinct and shelve everything, or to think it through carefully? Feeling reluctant to appear for work, lol.
OK, time to prepare for the call. Wish me luck! Hope to get through this unscathed.

Whoa, had some serious retail therapy last night! BTW, Taka's having this sale at the basement. It's clearance of stuff from like seasons and seasons back, but there're still loads of stuff worth buying - like shoes. Got myself a pair of Timberlands at a steal. And new wallet too (no sale on those though, shame..) The clothes are effing gross though, still overpriced for a sale.
Am now lusting after OS X Leopard - seriously bought over by the Time Machine function and CoverFlow options, although the default desktop picture is rather gross. Still, it'll be pretty silly to buy a new OS right now. Tiger's doing great, no reason to change it, haha.
ok, time to have fun now - transferring my old thrash into the new wallet and going off for a haircut. Hmm .. shiny and bald?

Woke with a really sore left eye!! Probably had some scleral abrasion or something ... Oh dear, was in a super-crabby mood yesterday. Got quickly irritated by people. Maybe it's post-call, but hmm .. i DID have a pretty ok call. It's unbelievable, but I spent some time in the call room watching DVDs (Grey's Anatomy, of all things ...), and about 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep!
Next one on Sunday, which is so shitty. Shall do some retail therapy tomorrow. Any idea where I can buy decent wallets? Maybe I'll browse at Taka. Strong urge right now to play truant and spend a day at the beach. Oooh, and I cancelled my holiday plans. Better to save up for something more enjoyable, I think. And it also gives me an excuse to buy stuff.

Grossly overslept today, and for some reason, so not looking forward to work. Maybe it's because of tonight's call. Wish me luck! Hope to be able to sleep a little at least.
Actually went shopping last night, haha. That's so atypical for a weekday.

Just had the strangest journey through time while browsing through facebook, while browsing through other peoples' pictures. Strange huh, how everyone's really diverged through all these years. And, of course, a friend's change in status from "is dating ..." to "is engaged to ..." =D
Had a jolly great time at Triple 3 today, but alas! Where are our lobster claws?? The desserts were absolutely fantastic. I'm not a dessert person, but the stuff there really bought me over. Followed this up with a couple of bowling games, where Montyelm was suddenly found to possess a new talent! ;) Muahahahaha ... an alternative career to consider, perhaps?
In desperate need for some good reading material right now. I'm thinking of gigantic cookbooks (there's a superb selection at PageOne) and stuff on interior design -- don't ask me why. Just never've been a fan of fiction, except lovely children's books.
Hmm gonna put up some pics soon, of the performance on Saturday. Ankles still sore from all that dancing, and I'm once again dreading the week ahead. 7 weeks down; 9 more to go! Right .. sudden urge for a REALLY EXTREME makeover - along the lines of coloured hair/baldness/afro locks, tattoes & piercings, and extreme weight gain/loss. What's gotten into me, eh?

Oosh? Urgh - more like.
A couple of us went down today for a late night dinner. Let's see:
Salmon - pathetic. Overcooked, overpriced, and a tiny serving the size of a standard handphone.
Lamb rack - average. Once again, a tiny serving of 3 very small ribs. Zucchini was a nice touch though.
Cocktails - average. Grotesque presentation, however. Very shabby. I found a chip of ice inside Yx's drink - so was it meant to be served with ice, or not?
Pasta - very, very poor presentation indeed.
Service - OMG. None to speak of! Incredibly inattentive, and we had our empty plates sitting there for half an hour before anyone bothered to clear them away.. all the time while 3-4 of them were standing in a corner chatting. Remarkably quick with the bill though, I must say. As Yx surmised, being post-call must have numbed my temper somewhat - I normally would have kicked up quite a fuss.
Definitely will not be returning again. Then again, at the rate it's going, it's probably not going to last long enough for me to return anyway.

This is going to be challenging. Poor sleep last night, call tonight, followed by a performance during my post-call hours tomorrow.
Anyway, I'll be performing at Proms @ The Park this Saturday, at the Botanic Gardens' Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage. The program proper starts at 4pm-6.30pm, but our group's coming on at 5pm or so with a total of 5 items. I am so going to flop dead after the call and fall into the pond instead.
Wish me luck for tonight! Calls have been getting quite busy lately.

Listening to a really old song, Dido's Thank You - a really perfect song for lonely times in the room. Would've been perfect with overcast skies with plenty of lightning, thunder, storms and a cuppa hot chocolate.
It's so gross that everyone else's anticipating tomorrow to come, a day of laziness and rest, while I'm hating every second that passes. Monty, if you're reading this, do update your blog with loads of pics when you get back! It'll at least be some solace to look at pretty pictures in that sterile place.
Had pretty good fun today. Went shopping after dance practice, and had a meal at the Hog's Breath. Hmm - they do have seriously good beef, and some of the best mashed potatoes I've had. On the downside though, their version of Buffalo wings is just plain wrong - it scores like 1/10 for me. It lacks tanginess, spiciness, crispiness and of course, chunks of blue cheese (which actually is absent from all the wings I've tried everywhere locally).
Dido's just playing over and over. The pan flute, gosh. Melancholic.

For the first time in many, many months, I woke up with a groan today. Dreams, mingled with reality.
And once again, fine times pass by all too quickly.
It's going to be tough tonight, wish me luck. Sunday will be so much worse, I think. Truly, it's the people that count.

Spent my weekend exploring facebook! It's quite entertaining, really. And, of course, having a fun sleepover, muahahaha. It's nice to have company! Got quite decent sleep last night, but still zonked out though. The start of a new week, urgh. Over-indulged over the weekend, and gorged myself silly.
It's strange, how once again you suddenly see so many of your past acquaintances coming back to life on a computer screen. Ooh, and how people have changed! Especially so for my primary school classmates - I might just recognise them if I chanced upon them on the streets, but by and large, everyone's so different. The nice thing is that you actually know they're alive. Not just pictures like on friendster, but they actually do actions that you can see.
Oh well. Time to cast aside nostalgia and get back into the gloom of real life. (What a way to start the week!) Let's see ... 5 weeks down, 11 to go. Gross.

M&S should pay me for the sales pitch, lol. But in all seriousness, they DO have a great range of bath products that are cheap and simply delightful. I actually just climbed out of the bath filled with rose bath bubbles. Quite determined to return and buy the rest of the range - magnolia and lavender. Too bad they don't have the sexy stuff like ylang-ylang or the zesty ones like lemon/bergamot. But the foam is one of the best I've had yet!
Life is now quite preoccupied with the mundane. Administrative shit, work, sleep, dance practice, feeding the animals and plants, quiet time, bed rest, rented VCDs and shopping. But wait. It's always been like that, it's just the proportion of time spent that's changed.
Wish I could just lie in that hot bath for hours and hours and hours and hours ... and I do need a larger bathtub. Eyeing some of those corner tubs that save space and look really comfy.
But THIS would really be The One to die for!
And of course, the added kinkiness of people walking past your bath window doesn't hurt either. ;)

It's once again time to leave a comfort zone and start afresh. Somehow, it's starting to get sickening. I resist change so much. I detest it. But this cannot be helped.
Been a sad time this week. Among everything else that cropped up, my phone is now officially deader than dead. Changing a motherboard will cost half the price of the best phone available, so why bother? Still, it's been less than a year - quite a record!
Using my old phone, and was flipping through some of the messages - including a few from 6 years back!! Amazing. Yes, I keep old messages. They remind me of so many things - things that had been, and things that should never have been.
Find myself talking very little for the past year or so. Have been making fewer phone calls, but many a time I would be aching for a chat. Chats are so therapeutic. You learn about life outside your own, bitch together about people you've never even laid eyes on, and find that you've been dwelling in myopic views of the world after all.
All of a sudden, I miss everyone; I miss me, too.

Whatever happened to the weekend?
Spent Sat afternoon (which was post-call) on the beach with Monty, Yx and Da. Developed this strange sort of tan - I fell asleep sometime in the evening and it was seriously very uncomfortable sleep. Ended up nodding off towards the end of dinner (which was fantastic) and feeling tired the whole of Sunday.
But ooh, discovered this section at M&S where they have final reduction sales, bought this M&S work shirt for $25 and a pair of denims at $30. The shirt was a steal, M&S has some of the nicest work clothes!
Not sure what I can look forward to next. Perhaps start planning for a break?
