busy!!

[SONG] Usher - I Can't Win

Whoa! it's been a week. I really good week at that.

Starting last Sunday, I've been drinking almost every other night. After the 3 day orientation period and adding up all my Off In Lieus and Public Holidays, I only worked 1 whole day, which was Friday.

The orientation which was held on Monday to Wednesday, was interesting at the same time a tad boring. I guess it was because of the lack of sleep that occurred from all the drinking but at least i made the effort to show up and still sit in.

The week is finally over with a great 2 day break and surprised as i was, i'll be off tmr again - making a total of 3 days off =) w00t!!!

On another note.

I headed to Toa Payoh today with Eunice, Mat and Janice.

We went to patronize a place called Botak Jones (thx elliott for the great recommendation!)


Official Website


Anyways, i was quite surprised with the outlet. It's basically a stall at a food court serving up great authentic american cuisine with a tad of a price increase to those of normal food court stalls.

The portioning isn't as big as i assumed but it was filling. Filling enough to fill my stomach. I ended up getting a loaded burger and jalepenos poppers for all under 20 bucks. Trust me when i say it's better than any restaurant i've tried so far. For a food court i didn't expect much, but i received much more!!

I would definitely patronize the establishment again without a doubt =)

Go to the website to find out where the other outlets are, it's definitely something to check out and try!

If you want, we could go together =) but do prepare your stomach and taste buds before you head down!

anyways, i'm out! gonna watch I Am Legend...peace y'all!!

Valentines '08

[SONG] Tank - Wait For Me

It is now pass 12, which means it is Feb 14 2008...

VALENTINES DAY!!

I fucking hate valentines, cuz i just don't understand why couples need a day to celebrate their love for each other - shouldn't be done and shown throughout the year? hm....

On top of it all, it leaves out all the single people out there. I guarantee that most of the single people will be venturing straight home after work to avoid the shame of not having anyone by their side. I surely will be.

Why is it that single people avoid being seen on this day? well, personally i believe it has to do with society. I think as myself as a confident person, but when it comes to valentines day, i lack the confidence to show my face. Weird? yes i know..but it's embed into me - to avoid the stares and laughter from happy couples i guess. Who knows...

The sight of couples smooching and hugging makes me sick. Yes, i admit, it makes me jealous and i'm not ashamed to admit it and be bitter about it. Wishing to have that moment that they share is what makes my nerves all rattled up - wishing how i could have someone to share that affection with.

Flowers and Restaurants will have a field day with the price hikes and scams. It's unbelievable what a rose stalk will cost, yet alone a meal. I guess it's all in the marketing and money making techniques that people learn when they find out how many people are willing to spend on this 'special' day. It's disgusting how they squeeze every last cent. Unbelievable!

Anyways, i hate valentines. There's no reason to have it. Love should be expressed everyday of your lives, especially if you really love the other party!

Even if i wasn't single, i would still be against valentines, but if the other party is into it, then there's no choice but go with the flow. right? I know it sounds a bit contradicting but it's a whole give and take situation. get it?

Nuff said!

peace!

Finally!!

Finally...I get to blog again!!

been so busy entertaining my family members while they were here, i haven't had the time to go online. Most importantly though, i don't have to endure anymore snoring from my grandpa, grandma, aunt and DAD!!!!!

The whole week was of sleepless nights and getting up early for work. I'm beat and i finally have a day off since last monday. it's going to be a good 2 day off.

On a brighter note, since my dad came, my wardrobe has expanded almost 2 folds. I'm most proud of this raulph lauren jacket i bought at a steal. It is the perfect fit and i think if i wear a nice shirt inside, it would look superb haha.

anyhoo, Now that they're gone, i get to sleep, get back to my routines and haven't to worry about anyone breathing down my neck - most importantly though, i get to live life the way i choose to =)

On a different note, tmr is chinese new years and i dread it! Everything is pretty much closed tmr and today is left with a half day. It's gonna be hard to find food for tmr. I'm gonna be home watching tv, while everyone is out with family and shit.

I don't understand the whole chinese traditions still. Everything is so red and LOUD! like chinese weddings, moon cake festival and of course not forgetting the new year.

I'm totally cool with indian festivals and malay ones but i think when it comes to chinese festivals, i'm just bored. In canada i didn't get to experience much of indian and malay festivals, i guess that's why i'm still intrigued by them. As for chinese festivals, i experienced my fair share when i go back to malaysia to be with family and i totally can't stand it!!

Oh well, i guess coming from a chinese-western background plays a big part of how i deal with these festive days. I just don't care for them haha. In canada, Christmas is probably the only festive season that leaves a mark.

anyways....i'm gone...headed for steamboat tonight so gonna get some shut eye first...peace!!
