Random Sightings... On Bus Again...
Can't believe this! Saw this when I took bus this afternoon (took time-off this afternoon to study):
It's a young guy this time... What's wrong with him man?? Is this really a new trend??

Random Sightings... On Buses
Have been driving to work for several months now, so haven't been taking buses. Took several buses this weekend and saw so many strange stuff!
Firstly, had karaoke at HQ office on Friday, and took bus home. As it was pretty late, I decided to board the first bus that arrived, and change bus a few stops away where I have more buses to take. Anyway boarded the 1st bus and was welcomed aboard by very loud mandarin. There was a lady from China talking very loudly on her mobile in the mid-section of the bus. Then when I walked past her, realised that she was sitting with her legs on the bus seat, occupying the entire seat which was meant for 2 people...
Then, on the 2nd bus, there was an old uncle who was sitting at the seats facing each other, and he "kiao" his leg on the opposite seat facing him! So he alone took up seats for 4 people! The only redeeming point was that he took off his shoes before putting them on the seat. And then, there was an auntie sitting behind the uncle, and she also had her legs on the seat!!
Really strange seeing all these in one nite! Is it a trend now?
Took bus 851 today, and horror of horrors, spotted baby cockroaches about 1 cm in length wondering around!! Spotted 6 of them within the half hour ride home!! Infestation!! Had to change from a window seat to an aisle seat cos there was a cockroach crawling at the side of the bus next to me!! And the guy who took my seat subsequently spotted the cockroach and flicked it... ended up on the shirt of the guy sitting next to me!! Narrow escape for me!! But I also had to jump away from this guy when he tried to flick the cockroach away.
Driving seems pretty boring in comparison to taking buses!

On Target Or Not?

Time For Shopping Again!
Went to the IT Show 2007 at Suntec with my IT gadgets shopping partner WW today. Finally got my 80GB Seagate hard disk at $98.
One word to describe the shopping experience. Cheap!! $11.50 for a 1GB SD card, and $20.50 for a 1GB Imation thimbdrive!! Forgot that I was recently given a laptop (which has a card reader) and bought an SD card reader... for $3.90. The laptop prices are also quite low. Can get one for as low as $999, and the higher end ones with pretty good specs (e.g. 1 GB RAM, separate graphics card) for as low as $1,699! And branded digital cameras of 8 megapixels going for as low as $399! Incredible prices!
Hmm... this blog sounds like an ad... :)

Wish Come True
My colleagues in HQ had all been given laptops. Was so envious... but... got mine today!! Yippee!! Acer TravelMate 3290. The most shiok part is that it has 1GB RAM! Cool! Now it'll be easier to work from HQ when I need to go there, which is rather frequent :)

Cute Rain?
Korean singer/actor Rain was in Singapore recently for his "Rain's Coming World Tour" concert, and the ticket prices ranged from $188 to $888!! Cheapest tickets at $188 is more expensive than the most expensive tickets for most concerts!! I was wondering what was Rain's charm and why people would buy his concert tix at such prices, so rented the show Full House (which he acted in) to watch.
After the first episode, I was not impressed... He's not that 帅 and his acting was ok only leh. But after a while, slowly begin to see his charm... cutey cute kind. Cute guy, but I definitely won't pay $188 to watch 2cm of him from the far end of the Indoor Stadium...
Like the show Full House though. Exact same story line as Goong - famous guy 'forced' to marry girl when he actually likes another girl. Girl however falls for guy, made complicated by another guy who falls for girl. Guy eventually falls for girl of coz, and they live happily ever after. Similar to Goong, I thought the lead actress (Song Hye Kyo in this case - feel that she looks a bit like 蘇慧伦. Think so?) acted much better than the lead actor.
Think I prefer Full House compared to Goong, cos the entire show focuses on the 2 main characters, whereas Goong had other sub-plots like the palace politics, and the love story between the King and his sister-in-law etc.

Oh, and love the house in the show! How nice if can own a house like that! =)

What Was I Thinking?

Had to do homework after first lecture!! The course is 2 years for part-time...... which means my weekends for the next 2 years are gone... :( What was I thinking when I applied for the course? I must have been out of my mind...

Final Harry Potter book
Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows (the 7th and last book of the Harry Potter series) will be released worldwide on 21st July 2007, according to Ms JK Rowling!! Woo Hoo!! Can't wait for it! :)
Hmm... maybe should start reading books 1 to 6 now, so that can continue with book 7 in July. Hehe! :p
Was hooked to the Harry Potter books after colleague TC lent me book 1 back in 2001 or 2002... can't remember ler. Prefer the books to the movies cos read the books first I guez, and also more details in the books.
My fave books so far are:
Book 1 - Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone
Book 3 - Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban
Book 6 - Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince
Quite sad that it's the last book... But also can't wait to find out the ending.
5 more months...

S.H.E concert
First time going to a concert in 2007...
First time going to a concert by a pop group...
First time going to a concert where the singers are very much younger than me...
Oh 第一次我.......
Quite a fun concert last nite! These 3 小妹妹 very bubbly and 可爱, and their singing & dancing not bad too! And their 合音 very very nice!! Because there are 3 people to watch, the concert was more interesting. Plus their stage was a 三面台, so can see them all the time. Dun really like 四面台 cos it gets very boring when the singer is at the other 3 sides of the stage.
Special guests? 飞轮海 and surprise guest 孙燕姿.
Muz say that the audience was fantastic man! Everybody was screaming and jumping throughout the entire show! I bought the cheapest tix for the last few concerts I attended, and usually it's quite boring sitting at the back, cos everyone is shy and tame, so will feel paiseh to scream and jump around. But for this concert, the entire stadium was on their feet and waving their 银光棒 (err did i write the chinese words correctly?) all the time. Very good atmosphere!
Pity AM and me didn't manage to buy any 银光棒 cos we were late!! Caught in the huge traffic jam on the way to the stadium. Reasons for the jam?
1) sold out S.H.E concert
2) sold out Asean Football Championship semi-finals at the National Stadium (Singapore vs Malaysia, which Singapore won, by the way. Ole Ole Ole Ole..... Ole Ole!!)
Think there were about 60,000 people at Kallang last night. The jam after the concert was equally bad cos both events ended at about the same time. Left Kallang only after mid-night.
Anyway, was pretty deaf by the end of the concert cos they juz upgraded the sound system at the Indoor Stadium. Super loud!! But enjoyed the concert. Though can't beat the most fun concert I attended so far - Karen Mok's 好莫文蔚 Singapore concert in 2001. That was THE BEST!!

Babies & Hip Hop
Attended BL's baby's first month party last sunday at her condo, then MY's baby's first month party at CSC today. 2 first month parties in 2 weeks. So many babies!!
Met up with HS on bus 130 (she took bus from AMK, and I boarded near my house), and arrived at CSC at about 10:30am. Of coz got 'scolded' by MY for being late (We were supposed to reach there at 10am). Then helped with the decorations. JD & AGL were the creative directors. We pumped many balloons (manual pump hor) and put up banners and streamers. Muz say the place looked pretty good after we were done at abt 11:30am. Pity forgot to take photo :(
Stayed on at CSC after the baby party cos had Hip Hop class. Yes finally!! The class stopped for many many months. 20 over people signed up this time. Of cos our old kakis were all back, and instructor KR is still the same! Hopefully classes will not stop again. Looking forward to classes the next few weeks! :)

The Dark Side of Asian Cinema
Went for this talk by Hong Kong actor Francis Ng 吴镇宇 at the National Library today. Had to wake up rather early for a Saturday cos the talk started at 12pm. Anyways, managed to reach there at 11:55am, and there was a long queue waiting to go in. Luckily we had registered oredi. But had to sit at the back cos there were already many people in front.
Realised that Francis Ng is quite a chim guy. Was talking about very chim stuff about the movies. Guess it had to be chim since the topic of the talk was "Directing Asia Series: Insights to Asian Cinema. Crime: The Dark Side of Asian Cinema". But he said something which was simple yet profound... In order for something to be seen as good, there has to be a dark side to bring out the good. This applies to movies, people, food and everything. Makes a lot of sense... Had me thinking hard there for a while ;)
Some photos of the event:
The view from the POD (Level 16) of the National Library. Dunno wat POD stands for, but it's not usually opened to the public. So check out the view from up there:
By the way, it's my first visit to the National Library since it opened!! :)

Pillow Talk
Sigh... super long weekend over so fast..... back to work today...
Anyways, was at J8 yesterday and Seiyu was having a sale on bedding stuff. Been thinking that my pillow is a little too flat lately, so decided to check out the pillows.
Spotted a big, fluffy and comfy looking pillow selling for only $9.60, and a feather filled firm pillow for $12. In the end decided to buy the fluffy comfy looking pillow cos it looks (yup, u guessed it) sooo comfy!
Went to bed pretty early last nite - cos had to work today, and also couldn't wait to try the comfy pillow. Ended up staring at the ceiling for half a nite... thinking about a meeting today, and also cos pillow was too high... 原来 I need flat pillow to sleep... Ended up using my old pillow instead. Now have to find some way to flatten my new pillow... zzz...

Rain Rain Go Away...
Wow, it's been raining non-stop for 24 hours!! The rain was so heavy this morning that I decided to take the morning off - my wiper is a bit lousy... too dangerous to drive... plus it was very tempting to stay in bed :p
The rain was slowing down at about 11+am, and I was preparing to go to work. Just as I opened my door to leave, the thunderstorm got bigger again!! Man... anyway had to leave the house cos was almost late!! On the way to work, saw the HUGE flood at Thomson Road, near the nurseries and MediaCorp - could only see a brown river instead of the road, and many Police cars...
Hope the rain will stop soon!
