It has been almost three years since I started this blog, and I must admit that my stamina is beginning to run out. I used to be able to post on average twice a day. These days (or rather, months), I struggle to post twice a week. Maybe it is because I run out of things to say. Or maybe it is because I don't feel like posting anything. Pure laziness.

Nonetheless, since I burnt calories opening the website and keying in my password, I might as well say something.

The trip to JB on Sunday was exciting. Spent about 3 and a half hours there going around in circles, and I brought us all back to Singapore after dark. So, now, I have a new title to replace the old one which lasted me 2 years. Hopefully, this new title won't be around for too long before it gets replaced again.

My sister is getting a new car, paid for by the folks.

Some kids are just so lucky.

Phone call came, and it begins come Sunday.

To quote a colleague's msn nick...

Paid to bum.

Went to Suntec City today and the place was, as expected, much emptier compared to an average weekend. With all the security, getting there was a headache. I had to detour from the pedestrian crossing to Marina Square, then to Millennia Walk and finally, cross a main road (jaywalking in front of the delegates) to reach Suntec City.

At least you will feel safe shopping there. No chance of any acts of terrorism. In fact, there weren't any protestors there at all. What happened to them? Maybe the 8m x 8m space was too small for them.

Went to watch The Host which was quite disappointing. If it weren't for the fact that it was a Korean show, it would have just been dismissed as a B-grade monster flick.

Should have watched Monster House instead.

Anyway, workwise, I am still waiting for the call.

It's been a long absence, and I blame it on Civilization 4. Guys, get it. It rocks.

Had a midnight session on Saturday morning, took a 4 hour nap, then headed to Bishan to play some table tennis with the significant other. Witnessed some out-of-this-world table tennis playing by kids who are just able to peek above the table. I think they will thrash me if I were to take them on.

That night, GNeo, the significant other and I decided to pay a visit to Zouk. Been a while since I've been there so not a bad time to check it out again. Looks the same. Same 'ol, same 'ol.

Also, some famous quotes from Saturday:

Quote 1:
-------
TheGirl: I have an ulcer, I want to get watermelon.
Me: Can I call you watermelon?
TheGirl: Er, why?
Me: Because you are wo de mei ren.


Quote 2:
-------
TheGirl: Check my bag again? They think I am a terrorist or what?
Me: You really want to know why?
TheGirl: Why?
Me: Because you are da bomb.


There IS hope!

645AM session is just as bad as 115AM sessions.

I was walking towards the side glass door which needs a card to open from the outside, and a button to push from the inside. Seeing two female colleagues walking from the opposite direction, I pushed the button and stood at the side so that they can walk in. As they pushed the door open, I just held the door open for them to come in.

Colleague A: "Oh, sorry, you want to go out?"

Me: "Yeah, after you."

Colleague B: "So, you didn't open the door for us ah? You opened the door for yourself is it?"

At this point, they were both inside and i was halfway out with Colleague A holding the door open for me to pull my troley bag out.

Me: "Er, I opened the door for you to get in, and then for me to get out."

Colleagues A and B decided to walk off then.


Now, what the hell just happened? Colleague A wasn't that bad. Colleague B must be a senior crew.

Finally got the long-awaited hard disk space yesterday. And what a tough time I had searching for the specifications of the casing. Almost gave up.

Let the fun begin.

Went over to Comex on Friday thinking that it would be relatively empty considering it was a week day. GNeo came over to pick me up and we went just down the road where we were greeted with the sight of cars and more cars. Then, it dawned on us that the crowd must consist of mainly teachers and students, since it was Teachers Day. I never knew students drove cars.

So, it was packed with people justling and shoving. But it was nothing great. Not that many great deals for people like me who just wanted to get some data storage devices. What a let down.

Had a movie marathon of three movies today. By the end of the last one, my eyes were all ready to pop out. Two is enough for me. Not only is my shopping stamina in need of fine-tuning, looks like I have to work on my movie watching too.

Oh yes, and the check went fine. Could have been better of course, but what the heck, I passed and that is all that matters. Once again, my hypothesis proved right: tests = mediocre performance by me.

Going to grab a beer. Captain's orders.
