the 3 hot stuff group outing......

friday night was with my other 2 fellow "hot stuff" group members, ah zai and cmi. i was late for a while though because i had to accompany ah meow to buy her shoes for gym... i never knew that shoe hunting could be so tiring and such an adventure. we went to the 2 main places for cheap sports shoes in singapore in the past week. 1. penninsula plaza 2.queensway. i saw this pair of pretty good looking shoes at tiong banhru's sports link, (acutally i secretly like it too! despite it having yellow colour) but it was too expensive for her. here is how it looks like...

(it looks better real life......)

but in the end, she bought another one, which was the very first pair of shoes that she liked.... anyway, happy with our shoe shopping, i went down to meet the hot stuffs. ah zai messaged me to meet at PS. apparently, PS means Paragon shopping centre, and not Plaza Sing or Project Shop......... :P met them at "prints" upstairs where ah zai bought the horrendously expensive wrapping paper for $4..... they have nice wrapping paper there, but i just can never bring myself to pay for that amount...... dunno why also. haha.

posh but fat snail
i was screaming all the way when i told ah zai and cmi to rescue this really FAT snail that was trying to cross the pavement to..... PRADA. haha... only ah zai rescued the snail and threw it back to the bushes....eeeeeeee..............

walked all the way to forum to get our genki sushi.... over-ordered and had a humongous supply of salmon (as usual)... and drank green tea that looked like "pond water"..... all thanks to cmi la.... mixed too much green tea powder... haha... n later headed down to nydc for a drink..... stayed there till they closed at 12am.......

our elephancino drinks.....

cmi yakking away while....

ah zai just ignores him... lol

we also found a new place to chill out till quite late! we decided to try our luck at cineleisure's preview lounge on the 5th (i think) floor and we decided to rest our bums there for as long as we could. as expected, everyone who is in there has to order a drink (its a rule). anyway, luckily the drinks were rather cheap with no service or gst charge so it was alright. got to sit in comfy sofas and watch the latest movie trailers.... got a cup of camomile tea for 3 bucks.... but we were disappointed with the packaging.... it came in a "mcdonalds like take away cup" and with just hot water and a tea bag. oh well, what do u expect for 3 bucks... :P

i was so sleepy by the time we got to the lounge actually but i was not in the mood to go home, so decided to "nua" at the lounge anyway..... by the time i got home and showered, i was wide awake. always like that! lol...

ah zai, ah zai.........
apparently, that time he tried to explain to me about his blood condition..... and i mistook it for him having the "sickle blood disease"..........opps... anyway, he sent me a link explaining more about his disease which is similar to it but its not, and i think i understand why he is always falling sick... according to that website, it says "Children with severe forms of this disease may have growth problems"..... is that why ah zai is so skinny!!!! :P

body pump - wednesday
went for that class on wednesday and i thought i was going to die!! but i must say that it was very good for muscle toning but a bit fast paced for me.... hopefully i will be able to catch up with the class next week. i could not walk properly for the next 3 days and had lots of difficulty climbing and going down stairs....... ouch.

body balance - sunday
it was an interesting class as it was a mix of yoga, pilates and martial arts movements. did lots of warrior stances and had a good time laughing at the guys in the class. kekekkeke.....

oh dear, huang na, the missing young girl's decomposed body has been found in a box in telok blangah hill park.......... tragic.

exciting day at the printing shop....

the day started out quite boring actually... but during lunch, ah meow wanted to go to queensway to buy a pair of sports shoe to wear to her "body combat" class. meow is one of the most fussy shoe buyers that i have ever met. asthetics are more important than the shoe's comfort. haha....

Q-Q Printing Services
C.M.I recommended this place to print A1 Size stuff for only $20. uncle ariff wanted to print photos of his family and especially his cute son to put up on the walls in his new jumbo house. so being the nice person i am, i offered to print for him since he is stuck in KL for 80% of the week.

so....... after work i decided to go down to Q-Q and give them the files to open and print the next day. (i already called up in the afternoon and the girl over the line told me that i could do so.) so anyway, the moment i stepped into the shop, i was greeted with unfriendly stares from people sitting behind the computers. i could not figure out who were the ones working there but one of them told me, "sorry, we are closed already. please come back tomorrow." this guy (jackie) was on the handphone, and i told him that its ok i didnt need them to be printed by today. i just need to pass them the soft copies and i will collect the next day. but he just kept saying we are closed.

fed up, i walked towards the counter and tried to get another guy's attention (the one who looked like he works there) but he just kept saying that they were closed. and i kept trying to tell him my situation, but he didnt seem interested at all. all he kept saying was, "come back tomorrow. we need to open the file and u must see if its alright first before we can go ahead printing it." i said its ok you can call me when u open the files tomorrow. but no, he just acted like i was not there at all. by then, i was already so pissed that i just let out this loud "hmphhh!" and stormed out of the shop.

i wanted to storm all the way home, but i decided to give cmi a call and bitch to him about the rude guys. while bitching to him, i noticed this shop called "leadership" and recalled vaguely that i had printed at this shop before and the owner was very helpful. so after putting down the phone, i found out that it costs only $15 to print a1 size! i happily gave them my files and waited. the quality was really good and i was really impressed....

here comes the scandalous part.

i saw this lady mounting this A3 size print out and i saw the logo "tuckerbox" on it. the first thing that came to mind was, "eh, how come zaihan is printing this?" (ah zai is supposed to be doing this cafe project called tuckerbox but there has been no news from the clients so far, they claimed to be signing him for the job) then i saw some 3d max drawings and a very blur plan..... then it dawned upon me that it was not ah zai's work and another designer's work! so the client had lied big time to ah zai! so disgusting.......... so i immediately whipped out my trusty handphone and spoke in a very soft voice. like those kind of voices that detectives speak in. very secretive and a sense of excitement in it.

after being charlie's angel for that moment, i saw this prc(peoples republic of china) couple at a corner having an arguement. the guy was shouting at the girl but i could not understand a thing they were saying despite the loud volume they were speaking in. but anyway, i decided to concentrate on ah zai's conversation first and after a short while, i saw the girl storming off in the opposite direction and the prc guy was pointing at her and still shouting. what he was saying, only prc people know lor. :P

here comes the loser part.

i forgot that such places only accept cash payments but luckily i remembered on time before they closed, otherwise it would have been so malu. on the way to the atm outside, i saw this fat cat sitting on top of a cart cleaning itself.

it was the sort of cat that i liked. so i quicked took out my phone and took a lousy shot of it cause i was scared that the owner might jump out from behind and scold me. for what, i also dunno la.

after all that was done, i had to walk to the bus stop opposite and catch my bus. by then it was 7.40pm. still could make it back for singapore idol! after i jay walked across, i saw my bus at the bus stop. so i had to run for it........... but my thights were cramped up from my "body pump" session the day before. so loser right.

anyway, that is the exciting day...... and i got to hear my sylvester sing tonight!!!!!!!!!!! swoooon..........

my mms blog.... heh heh........

finally got my camera data cable to work and i can download all my camera photos finally!!! ahhh!! haha.... so first up, i will be putting up pictures from "the 3 hamsters night out" from yesterday first... heh heh................. :D

the 3 hamsters night out

monday
went for a pilates class at amore and was horrified to see only 3 girls who had turned up for the class. 3 girls including me. :P the pilates instructor was a jackie chan look a like, who had a pony tail and wore a blue bandana on his head. i couldnt stop thinking in my head of how he looks and reminded me so much of jackie chan. one of the girls looked like lara, gary lai's ex girlfriend, except that this girl was much meatier, but still very pretty. the other girl was this rather tall and slim girl who looked like shandi from america's next top model. she was extremely inflexible and had lots of difficulty doing the crunches and stretching. but she was so slim!

tuesday - 3 hamsters night out
accompanied bunny to the fossil official shop at pacific plaza first to get a replacement for darling drew drew's disel watch. for some reason, the glass of the watch has cracked in a somewhat strange manner. but i suspect that the glass is something like laminated glass. cause the surface of the glass is smooth with no crack lines outside, while the impact seems to be absorbed by the internal glass. dunno how to explain, but it looked like the watch had commited suicide from the table. anyway, it costs a mere $50 to get the replacement glass. i wasnt too happy with the staff's behaviour. i think it was because they knew that bunny had no where else to go to get it repaired. yucks man......... they looked very proud and confident that she was not going to walk out of the shop without paying something....... hmmmm...

earlier this morning, bunny messaged me to ask if we were still meeting tonight for our "xiao-long-bao-outing" at taka..... she has been going on about the wonderful "la-mian" at "la-mian-xiao-long-bao-restaurant"..... apparently one of the crystal jade's restaurants, hidden very well on the 5th floor of takashimaya, a corner that i never knew existed until today.

hamster no. 2 got lost while trying to get the exact location of the restaurant but we managed to be reunited after that.

the xiao-long-bao was pretty good... i must say that it tasted better than it looks. it looked boring and tasteless. guess i was decieved by the looks. the la-mian however, tasted like something a pregnant woman would eat... haha... sorry bunny... i didnt really like it, but i liked the rest of the food there! :D

hamster no. 2 gave me a present from new zealand! it was a pretty green cardigan like blouse, something that i had to wear either a tube or a spagetti top underneath..... wore it in crystal jade restaurant and for the rest of the night.... heh. had to explain to her about her house's new toilet layout as well. wonder how much it will really cost to build though.

decided to bring the 2 hamsters to fitness first at paragon to take a look at the place and hopefully convince them to join me for the classes and embarrass ourselves together. i was horrified when bunny asked if she could wear her ballet leotards to the "body-combat" class..... cause that was the only exercise outfit she has! haha.... she further amused me later on when she was looking through the class schedule on the notice board.

bunny : what is this "about julian" class? (it read ABT JULIAN)
hamster no. 1 : what?! is there such a class?! oh, its not about julian lar!
bunny : oh! you mean they have Adult Ballet Classes here?
hamster no. 1 : (slaps hand on forehead) No! ABT means Abs, Butt, and Thighs!

bunny, bunny bunny bunny.....

had to fill our tummies with calorie laden desserts downstairs at bakers inn later on. no wonder there is a gym upstairs..... hmm... we then laughed over our childish days in secondary 2, where bunny and i used to quarrel everyday when we were desk partners.

"your books are on my side of my table!"

"can i borrow your pen?------ ya la ya la! just take them already!"

"your elbow is in my territory!"

parts table slightly when we end up quarreling too much. we were free entertainment for our classmates sitting behind. :D good ah?

oh dear... have to start selling more items on ebay to get more money for my trip next month!!! ahhhh......... oh, and i can't wait for my "body-pump" class tomorrow! i have no idea what i will be in for, but thats the fun part! :DDDD

sylvester....................

no time to update my blog recently but found time to get this picture from the Singapore Idol forum to upload!! hehehehehehehehe...



now back to drawing "madam's house"... will upload here when im done with it.... :D

dreams.......

you know, there will be this period of time where i will just keep dreaming for consecutive days..... and then, suddenly all that will stop and i will having "dreamless" nights for like.... weeks?? well, i think i have entered the dream marathon now....

dreamt that my panasonic x70 broke into half and the screen part of the phone was dangling by the wires! but surprisingly, i could still use the phone...... and i was even thinking to myself that i have to go to the service centre to fix it... and find my old 6510 in my bermuda triangle room.... so weird man....

watched 2046 today... didnt understand nuts but i love the set... i think i like this director's films more for the arty feel of it.. but have to admit that i nearly dozed off nearer the end but i woke up and had to laugh when tony kissed gong li for like... 5 mins... he looked like he was eating her can! haha...

it's been a long day for me, and i think im going to fall sick soon or something, feel kinda 'heaty' and have a cold and a slight headache now... hope to sleep it off..... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........ oh, did i mention that i dreamt of slyvester the other night?? hmmm...

self-confessed-and-not-ashamed-to-be-groupie-of-slyvestersim

been feeling pretty excited for the upcoming hong kong trip next month and i have been trying to do some research online on where and what to do there... and also have been packing a bit of my room to see what old stuff and ponies to sell on ebay to pay for my shopping expenses there... ahhhhhhh......

my computer has been infested with some stupid virus called downloader.gk and apparently it is one of those high threatening viruses.... i scanned with panda software, and now it seems to be alright after doing like a million antivirus scans and spyware detectors. i hate viruses..................

ah zai asked me to accompany him to look for a 1500mm diameter dining table for his client's flat. i could not think of any place that sold a nice decent looking dining table but anyhow suggested harvey norman's furniture place at millenia walk. no such luck. decided to go to suntec's foodcourt for dinner (again!). :) as i was about to bite into my fish fillet, jerry ong came on tv for singapore idol, and i seriously lost my appetite!! and it didnt help that christopher was next.... oh god. i really wanted to die........ but anyhow, ah zai treated me and cmi to ice cream after that, so that wasnt so bad!

apart from my darling slyvester sim, i also really like taufik! i think he improved tons since the beginning and i have been voting for him every week! and not to mention sly..... hee... self-confessed groupie!!!!!!!! so no life... haha.

argh. im hungry...... side effects from earlier on...

my idol................

swooooooooooooooooooonnnn...................... im dying....... wahahahahhaa... i just feel so happy whenever i see him sing... i've not felt like this since..... like, richard oakes?? what a big difference though. hee..

tiong bahru........

went to see the block 73 seng poh road flat at tiong bahru... just right beside the community centre and opp the old market location... on the 3rd floor. this is what my brain can only remember photographically after 2 hours. haha.... but its a really nice cosy space and great for a single or couple to live in. i really wouldn't mind climbing up three floors to get home!

i am so inspired to save tons of money and renovate it n stay!!! ahahahhhhhh.....

american idols..........

American idol concert was pretty good but very loud. My view of the giant tv screen at the top centre part of the stage was strategically blocked by this beautiful row of hanging speakers… we were about 15 mins late, with me telling the rest calmly that the concert is sure to start late so we need not hurry. We were also stuck in a horrible traffic jam on the way there from Chinatown and the taxi driver sped all the way there the moment he heard meow exclaim from her sms that the concert had started. We were supposed to meet the other friend, (coincidentally also called lilian) at 7.45pm. opps.

Was greeted by latoya’s screaming vocals… she was so sexy and she had a body to die for. She wore a black halter neck, bare-back top. From behind, she really looked naked. I nearly died when she did a pole-like dance next to JPL. It looked…… kinky. Haha…. Fantasia looked like a chicken backside with the orange dress she was wearing (description given by lilian) and Diana seemed to have lost some weight. Cant say the same for jpl and fantasia though… jpl did the cover of outkast’s hey ya and tried to dance. I said tried. I spotted him pulling up his really loose pants in the middle of his dance routine, and I would fall over laughing every time I saw it. I think he cant sing as well. He only does well for gimmicky songs.

Diana’s real voice sounded like Minnie mouse and I felt like I was watching mickey mouse club but she sang really well. I loved georgie huff and jasmine… george kept dancing by himself and really looked like he was enjoying himself on stage and sang really well too. Loved the duet he did with Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer’s hair was like a huge birds nest and I could not see her face at all. All I saw was her big big hair. She seemed to just blend into the band and for some reason hardly sang.

I was surprised by jasmine though. She was really good and to me, the best dancer in the whole group. She looked really sexy dancing and her rendition of Alicia key’s “if I aint got you” (is this the song title??) was great….. and not to mention that she was sooooo sooo cute.

Paid $3 for a nice comfy ride on busplus to city hall from the indoor stadium…. I was very turned off to squeeze into bus 16. I just couldn't do it. Im so spoiled. Hee… shared 3 extremely sinful cakes with meow and mr zac. Meow was telling us about this horrible Taiwanese show that she caught on cable tv while in shanghai. So scary.... now I know why some people dun like Taiwanese….. hee……. :D

Its going to be 12pm soon… wondering where I should run to for lunch…. Dun feel like sitting in the market alone. Better get back to some work first!
