My Monday & Prison Break

Insolitement, je suis plus calme aujourd'hui, le jour avant de l'examen Delf A2.
Mais je pense que demain, comme toujours, j'aurai le tracs...

Hehe, je joue une heure pour chaque trente minutes j'etudie!!

I am unusually calm the day before the French exam Delf A2. Lol...
But I think I'll freak out tomorrow just before the paper...as always...

I spent an hour playing for every half an hour I studied I think.. haha..

==============
I think I've never taken leave to study before hahha....;p

==============
And yes, I'm a slow starter...I just started watching Prison Break Season 1 today...
Oh well, wanted to watch it last time but I somehow didn't get started on it...
Till yesterday when Ahboy & Kel were gushing over the show and over how pretty the male lead's eyes were...

So well, that was my motivation hahahaha....Am gonna watch episode 2 later on...

The only thing is, the streaming is darn slow on Youku, Sina and Tudou...MedaVideo went bonkers on me and well, some other sites were just not working haha...
I shall contend with the Chinese sites then and watch the show with Chinese subtitles..
At least I should be thankful they're not dubbed in Mandarin haha...;p

Unless someone has other "watch-free-video" sites to recommend me?

Class 95

Listening to Class 95's BPM now.

BPMs are on Saturday nights...

"Beats Per Minute"

Very very good dance songs.

From old hits to pop song remixes to hip hop remixes..

WOO HOO....

Always gets me going...

Am already bopping to the beats...some of the remixes are pretty good..nothing too cheesy...

Add a glass of vodka to the picture and I think I'll be dancing like a mad cow in my room

Yeah, maybe I should do just that...

That half bottle of vodka is still sitting in my cupboard..

Hmm..parce que..

Je suis un peu fatiguee.

Je ne sais pas pourquoi je me sens comme ca.

Je ne me sens bien pendant deja deux semaines.

C'est ne pas bien du tout.

Je dois travailler dur. Oui, je dois penser les choses heureux.

Et je dois etre fort.

The Boozy Days

Cravings for alcohol marked my days over the last two weeks..
IT's not been long since alcohol flowed through the bloodstream.
But I still had cravings for it.

I didn't pay heed to it till the Thursday just past. At Timbre. With Daniel & Yanling.
2 lychee martinis and 1 pint of Erdinger.
Not alot though. Since the next day was a working day.

Friday was spent with Ally & PQ at Cafe Iguana...
Had the equivalent of a jug of margarita. Sad to say, it wasn't enough.

Am looking forward to getting high on 7 Dec.
We have a Zouk date. Wonderful...me, PQ & TH.

I wanna dance dance dance.
I wanna throw everything one side and just drink and dance.

And I need my Long Island. I can almost taste it on my tongue already.

Voila. 7 Decembre.
Nous aurons une fois tres tres bien.
J'ai besoin d'echapper de boulot quotidien.

C'est tres deprime...

It's very depressing...
To read the papers nowadays.

Gloom and doom on 95% of the pages.

Bangkok protestors - Mumbai bombings - Senseless killings - Recession - Big banks falling apart - Governments screaming At each other - Aids - Rise of terrorism - Mother Earth getting weaker by the day - People losing jobs - Animals getting extinct

You get the drift.

Is the world coming to an end within the next 50 years?

I hope I won't be around to see it.

Inspiration for All

Ever since my dad learnt how to use email and I created an account for him, he and his retire bunch of friends have been sending each other those mass email jokes and stories now and then.
He sent me this link to this video on Friday and I subsequently sent it out to some of the office folks...

Whether it's working with you have, or living life as it is..
Striving for what you want, or having a can-do attitude...
I'm sure each of us can learn one or two things from the lady featured in the video...

p/s: you don't need to understand Mandarin to understand what's going on..

Office Action

You know when it's the end of the year and things just get into a lull in the office...
Everyone's listless and restless and just wanting some action...
Hehe..and oh yah, when the boss is not around...
Things like these happen...

Me and Jane...and errr HC's fingers...

The two ladies again

3 of us...;p

With HC acting like a total idiot... hahaa...

P/S: That's a Herman Miller chair I'm on...ergonomically crafted for the best comfort...:)

Mr YanDaoKia

Just read YDK's blog..after close to 3 months plu sof not reading hhaa..

That goondu actually went to Taiwan!! To take part in a Mister International contest!
Check out his blog here www.yandaokia.blogspot.com for pics of the event...

Oh and of course, for pics of the contestants...some yummy, some gay looking and well, some err, not quite suitable hahah..

Proud of him! Woot!

*pant*

Went for a run before dinner just now..
I love running on a night when the rains were pouring in the afternoon.
It makes the air more crisp, more dewy and generally more fresh..
My lungs get more fuel and I generally run better on such days...

But oh well, inconsistency and laziness makes this monkey a flabby and out of shape one..
I skipped running the whole of last week cos I was not in the mood..and the mind was elsewhere thinking about other things...

I ran twice the week before...I shall make it twice or more this week..

The only thing is that my right bunion is starting to be a little irritating..
It was aching a little just now after the jog...Hmm...
Hope it doesn't stay...

transient thoughts...

Mr Bull has got his transfer approved..
He'll be moving onto another division soon and probably won't be on the same floor as me anymore..:(

==========
I feel as if I've slipped into a quicksand pool...
I'm sinking..and attempts made to get out work for only awhile...
Before I get sucked in again...

Hmm...I need alot more work to get out.
I hate it when I get this way.
I know not myself..

It's been a few weeks and it's getting unhealthy.

=========
Ok, back to work for me...

MC

MC Day today.

Not technically sick.

But fragments of the cough from October is still lingering on.

Kena nagged by mum for the past 2 weeks to go Polyclinic and get a referral to see a specialist and have my lungs x-rayed.

And so voila, today is the day.

Spent close to 2 hours in the polyclinic settling this.

Come to think of it, the last time I went to the poly was like 5-6 years ago..

Anyway, am back home liao..

Porlly gonna study a little French, do some mock-exam questions.

And then head for a nap...

Thursday is the day to see the specialist. Afternoon appointment.

SGH again.

Wow!

OMG.

Guns N' Roses have a new album called "Chinese Democracy".

How cool is that man?

20 years on and Axl Rose is still rocking!!!

Tried looking for recent pics of Slash but couldn't really find any.

Wonder if his hair is still as big since he left GnR close to 10 years ago...

Broke as I am.

I think I might take a trip to the CD store tomorrow to check this album out.

As well as Il Divo's 4th album...

MUACKSS..MUACKSS..MUACKSS

Lovely lovely lovely...:)

phone clinic

Ok.

I am back to using my old E65 phone.

At least for the next one week or more.

My new phone 6600 slide...

Which happens to be less than 2 monthsw old...

Has been sent to the Nokia clinic.

There's no sound at all when there're incoming calls or SMS-es.

Argh.

>:(

I wanna go Italy and Switzerland too....

Seeing those architecturally challenging buildings, those renaissance fresco art....

those gondolas, those lakes, those snow-capped mountains...

those pebbled streets, those pasta, those beer, those wine, those chocolates....

I am officially JEALOUS.

Nah, that sounds negative.

I am GREEN WITH ENVY.

Yeah, that sounds a little better....

Check out Kym & XL's photoblog of their recent honeymoon...

To where?

Italy and Switzerland of course...:)

*breathe in, breathe out*

Take a few deep abdominal breaths to calm yourself down.

That was one of the anger management techniques I learnt that day in a half day seminar.

It's not working on me. Not at all. Zilch.

Either that or I really have anger management problems.

Or is it the case of when you have a really anal colleague (by this I mean THE COLL), whatever anger management techniques in the world will not help at all?

If this goes on, I'll age 2 years in the next 6 months.

The Commonality of Names

Quaint little shop somewhere on the 2nd or 3rd floor of Far East Plaza...

Mixed supplies shop under a block of flats next to Kallang MRT station.

They were carrying this brand of supplies...

From scotch tape to torchlights to metal push pins..

Haa..Saw it and had to take it down to show Ally next time...

Little Sunflower...

A bus ride home after a day's work can be a weary thing.

Maybe someone thought to brighten other peoples' day.

By having a pretty little sunflower right at the bus exit.

Placed in the bin for used tickets.

Saw this last week on my feeder bus...

Ice Cold Beer.

14 November 2008.

With Mr & Mrs Koh.

Back from their honeymoon in Italy and Switzerland.

Unglam.

When you get chirpy after some drinks.

And find that you shouldn't trust your friends with your camera. Lol.

The voluptuous beer lady poster on the wall behind me makes for a better focal point.

Big Head and Small Head again. After some Asahis.

Xingli with her newly cropped hair. Gorgeousness

Makes me wonder if I should lop off my hair as well.

Waiting. Attendre. III

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For the break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Waiting. Attendre. II

Asleep at 115am.

Awake at 2:15am.

Darkness. Blackness. Greyness.

Thoughts running.

Mind is spinning.

Spinning out of control.

The body turns. Flips. Shifts.

The mind keeps running.

Eyes open. Eyes close.

Darkness. Blackness. Greyness.

Shapes. Shadows. Stillness.

A car's engine growls by.

Fading.

Restless. Disturbed. Frustrated.

The heart pumps.

Echoes of it in the eardrums.

Thump thump.

Waiting.

For the elusive peace of sleep.

It hides. Doesn't come.

The house creaks.

Sounds of the night.

The dark is more alive than you think.

Darkness. Blackness. Greyness.

Waiting.

The mind still runs.

Echoes of thoughts.

Slivers of restlessness.

Permeate every cell in the body.

3:00am.

Get up. Walk. Pace.

Living room. TV.

Alone in the dark.

Colours. Shades. Voices.

Distorted images.

Chills. Ghostly Breeze.

Waiting. For fatigue to come.

The mind runs on.

Thoughts. Staccato. Broken.

In the room again.

4:00am.

Restlessness still.

Darkness is laughing.

Mocking.

Haven't you found what you're looking for?

4:30am.

Waiting.

Darkness. Blackness. Greyness.

4:45am.

Waiting.
Darkness. Blackness. Greyness.

5:00am.

5:30am
