A Special Day @ Casablanca

Finally left Algiers on December 20, back at where I first started my North African journey - Casablanca, Morocco.

Once again, we're back at Hotel Barcelo. I tried to request for the same room I stayed in back in Nov - Room 504. Too bad it was occupied. But I managed to get a room with the same layout on a different floor. *aces*



December 21 - A special day for a special SOMETHING.
It's a pity Casablanca couldn't offer us much, but we tried to make the best out of it.

SOMETHING started off his day by calling his family to say hi.
And I, I was screaming "HELLO ! 嗨！你们好 ! " into his phone while snapping pictures of us the whole time. *ha ha ha*



We then walked over to Casablanca Twin Centre to do some money exchange before making our way to La Cote where we had our lunch and a nice hot cuppa cappuccino along the beach.

'

By night fall, we were back at Barcelo for drinks & dinner. And since we didn't have a birthday cake or any candles .....
We improvised!

How I Started My Day

Since this is gonna be my last working day in Algeria (...FOR NOW), I decided to get myself a nice, hearty breakfast!

So... I requested for breakfast to be served to the room @ around 08:15hrs. I ordered omelette w/ cheese, ham & mushrooms, accompanied with a nice hot cuppa nescafe. *yum yum*

Oh! I simply love the vase-like thingy which holds the little bottles of jams! Sweet!

Rookie Lecturer

Last week, I had my first go at training a new batch of freshmen for my company’s Algerian Distributor. The group we were supposed to train was rather small, and my part of the training was merely a day’s lecture out of the one week long training.

However, since this is my first time to stand in front of a group of students who are mostly around or above my age, it was inevitable for me to feel a little nervy. It also didn’t help to notice that most of them, regardless of age, somehow manage to LOOK very mature and TALK like they “know-a-lot”.

But once I started lecturing, I realised it wasn’t all that intimidating. There was a lot of classroom participation; the students were responsive to questions posed, and were very serious when it came to doing exercises & workshops. I would have to say, I’m not sure if the same training had took place in Asia, would have received similar enthusiasm.

SOMETHING was also one of the lecturers for this training. He was previously involved in a freshmen training last summer, back in Casablanca with 40+ students. Hence, he was able to give me lotsa useful advices on how to respond to difficult questions and how to react when being challenged. Thanx SOMETHING!!! (^_^)

All in all, it was an interesting and refreshing experience for me. Shall strive to perform better next time! Meanwhile, I’ll be training up on my presentation and lecturing skills for the next freshmen training.

~THE BUNCH OF US @ THE TRAINING~

Google Is King!

A show of hands now; how many of you have ever tried to Google yourself?

Well, I did!
People don’t label me Nonsense for no reason.

I was in the office the other day, tons of assignments to complete but absolutely no mood whatsoever to even attempt to start on them. So, out of boredom & bits of curiosity, I opened up Google search engine, and decided to see what kinda of stuffs I’ll be able to find.

* I found out that there were in fact people carrying the same name as moi in other parts of the world. I managed to find a couple in LA, some in Alabama, some in Mexico, and some in other parts of Europe.

* To my pleasant surprise, I chanced upon a webpage which Alicia created, probably while she was back in the university. She posted this picture we took together in school while we were 16… ahh… the good old days.

* Then, I stumbled across something really interesting. A post by Someone which was dated back in 4th November 2004. Back when I was working in Thailand. This Someone has been gossiping about me on her blog. This Someone was neither a friend of mine, nor was she a colleague of mine. This Someone barely knows who I am. But gosh did she sound like she knew what my “true self” was?! Mmm… naughty naughty!

Burst of Boredom!!!

It's 09:17hrs in Algiers on a Thursday morning.
Today's half-day work in Algiers cos' it's a Muslim country and weekends are on Thursdays & Fridays.

SOMETHING & I were so frustrated wtih work & filthy loos that we decided to take silly pix of ourselves ... in a BURST OF BOREDOM!!!

Fireworks Fiesta @ THE BAY

In line with celebrating Singapore's 41st Birthday, UnUsUal Productions organised :-"SINGAPORE FIREWORKS FESTIVAL 2006"

The fireworks displays took place at the Esplanade Bay, from 21:00hrs for 4 fabulous nights (5/8, 8/8, 11/8 & 12/8). Location's very near my office... *awesome*!
v (^_^) v

Thou' I didn't plan to catch the shows on all nights, I knew I couldn't miss the last performance. There was a lotta rave about the musically choreographed fireworks display by the French Team. Apparently, they peformed here in Singapore during the Singapore Fireworks Festival in 2004 and had really great reviews.

[Okay, I wasn't in Singapore from Oct '04 - Sep '05, so I had no idea this was an annual thingy]

Anyhow, this year, I'm definitely not gonna miss it! I packed my trusty digi. cam., got my Mum & my maid to come along with me. And headed to Marina Bay to catch the magical event!

Check out the video clip I took!

Singapore Turns 41

It's nearing the 9th Aug - Our Nation's Birthday.
Happy Birthday, Singapore! ^_^/

Sad to say, thou' it's a public holiday in Singapore on 9th Aug. I will have to go back to the office & work FULL DAY! *argh* On the bright side, I'll be staying behind after work with a couple of my colleagues to watch the beautiful fireworks go off @ Kallang right from our meeting room @ Centennial Tower. The view will be PERFECT!

Last Saturday, 29th July 06, I managed to get 4 tix to catch the National Day Parade (NDP) preview, LIVE! (Thanks Dajie!) It sure was great to be able to get a feel of the passion the people have for the country, and celebrate the Nation's success together! Deepsix felt super patriotic that day! *hee hee*

It's been 14 years since I watched the NDP LIVE @ the National Stadium. I still remember the last time I caught it LIVE was when I was 13 years old, and participated in the choir performance. *psst* ... it was a darn good place to meet those Ah Bing(1) Ge(1) aka Army Guys! *hahahaha*

Got Jo, KK & Lucus to come along to catch the NDP Preview. Thought it'll be fun to relive the memories from when we were 13 with Jo, and a great chance for KK to celebrate her recently received citizenship, and of cos', for Lucus, who loves crowds & parties!

Check out the crowd!

Weather was perfect and everyone wore red! The parade was filled with pretty colours and creative formations & dances!

We had a great time at the NDP preview! Time well spent indeed. Last but not least, we would like to say . . .

MAJULAH SINGAPURA!!!

"Your Work" vs. "YOU"

Haven't blogged for over a month now.
In my last post, which was dated way back in May, I was feeling all depressed & emo due to all kinds of reasons. And a major part of it was of course from stress @ work.

In fact, I was so affected by the kinda crap I was getting @ work that I was getting on-off minor chest pains. Consulted a couple of GPs about the chest pains I was experiencing, and was prescribed some tranquilisers to help me calm down.

Point being, is it worth risking one's health over work?! The answer is of course; most certainly not! And I've since made it a point to constantly remind myself to keep my cool when sh*t happens @ work.

Well, so what exactly is my reason for blogging about this? You see, thou' I know it's never worth ruining my health over work problems. I've never really thought it's possible for me to hold back my temper when provoked either.

But just this afternoon, I surprised even myself, over the way I handled my emotions while going thru a heated discussion with a foreign business associate.

First, there was the multiple phone calls from Mr.X to question my actions (Mr. X, a fellow business associate, who happens to be an equal with conflicting interests). Seeing where Mr. X is coming from, I took the pain to explain a good 30mins to help Mr. X see both sides of the argument since the nature of my job is somewhat stuck in the middle.

Of course Mr. X has every right to disagree with point B but also concluding that there are 2 sides to view this issue. Instead, Mr. X ended the conversation by saying: " It's all about saving face! Stating the truth only makes us (his concern party) appear stupid!". And he slams the phone. Oh... and did I mention he called me on my personal mobile?!

The usual me will be hopping mad by then (simply cannot tolerate having the phone slammed on me, especially not from a business associate). But instead, I took it pretty well. Apologised to my colleagues who were waiting for me for over half an hour. And simply carried on with the light-hearted chats & corny jokes among my colleagues as we made our way to the bus-stop.

When asked what the argument was about, I didn't even wanna bring it up. Not cos' it's so unpleasant and will spoil our moods, but just because I don't see the need/importance to do so.

I'm not sure what caused this 180 degrees turn in the way I handle my emotions @ the workplace. Perhaps it's the N-3mth ORD mood, or perhaps it's really because I've finally learnt how to separate work from personal.

A Little "Emo" Lately

I had the luxury of having some quiet time to myself to think over some stuff last weekend. Several hypothetical scenarios crossed my mind as I stared @ the view in front of me. I stood at the highest point of Kent Ridge Road, looking down @ the pretty lights that were lit up across the congested harbour.

The song: “And Then I Kissed Him” from the movie Pearl Harbour played in the background. I grinned to myself, thinking, “Mmm… I’m listening to the theme song from Pearl Harbour while gazing at the Harbour!”… Seriously! How corny can I get to even come up with that! Ha ha ha!

Back to the part about hypothetical scenarios running thru my mind, probably cos I was in a setting where the dramatic storyline of Pearl Harbour seemed all so relevant. I started to imagine I was back in one of history’s most poignant and unsettling times (being physically apart from SOMETHING made my fictitious tale easier to picture).

I imagined SOMETHING being caught in the action of war and all… imagined something happened to SOMETHING… and I stopped. There’s no need for me to imagine that! SOMETHING’s in Beirut for Christ sake! And anything can easily happen to SOMETHING there!!! @_@ *darn* I got myself worrying out of nothing again!

I asked myself how well will I cope with loved ones dying young, a common topic in trashy magazines these days. How long will I grieve over the death of someone I love? How long will it take before I forget what it felt like to be beside him? And finally, how long before I find someone new and move on? I didn’t answer any of my questions eventually. I headed home, called SOMETHING, just to know he’s well.

Next day, I asked the same questions to the people around me (I don’t know why). Most guys told me they’d definitely get a rebound girl to help them move on. Is that what most girls would do as well?

Dear Diary

Was going through some of my old stuffs the other day. And I saw a couple of my journals which I've wrote in since I was 11. Needless to say, the kinda stuffs I wrote between the age of 11-15 was, urmz.... , let's just say they were embarassing.

When I came to the most recent 2 journals, one which I started in 1998-Livia, and the other, in 2001-Matt, (Yes! Call me weird, but I name my journals as if they were a person) I noticed the huge difference in the things that were important to me, upset me, and particularly in the way I expressed my thoughts.

During my uni. days, I would sketch out the things that made the deepest impression on me in the day every time I wrote in my journal. Here, check out some of the entries in my dairy then...

BRO & ZUK ZUK (Up Close & Personal)

1st Jun 2000: Came home from school that afternoon. Saw Zuk Zuk (my stray 'pet' cat) staring @ Bro. while he snoozed on the couch. Bro woke up suddenly, (probably cos he felt sth in front of him) stared straight @ Zuk Zuk and screamed in shock! This must've scared Zuk Zuk cos at the same time, she gave out a terrified meow & jumped right out of the window! It was hilarious!!!

ROUND & ROUND THE CAROUSEL GOES

13th May 2000: I've always loved those pretty carousels @ carnivals, so romantic, so fairytale-like. I remember there used to be one @ Clarke Quay that looks just like the drawing above. Under the moonlight and star-filled sky, it was absolutely magical.

WHO'S UR DADDY?!

5th Aug 1999: And occasionally, I get some of my close pals to contribute a little something in my journal. What you see above is a 'self-portrait' Andy has done up of himself back in 1999. "Wah Wah! I bet you don't remember a thing about this! Hahaha! ! ! ".

I've never stopped writing in my journal after all these years. I may not write as frequent as I used to, neither am I as illustrative as before. But I still jot down every significant moment of my life and flip thru them every now and then. Keeps the REAL ME in me alive.

四月底的約會

上個月底， 我終于有機會和他會面了。
我們約好， 四月十八， 在曼谷的杜喜塔尼飯店大堂向見。
能再次和他手拉手一同逛街，共用每一餐，看電視直到纍了，睡了。
如此熟悉的感覺，好比找回失去以久的寶貝的那種感覺，實在是難以形容。

這次到曼谷，除了我們兩，他的大妹和妹夫也到了曼谷來看看他，順便逛逛。當然，到了曼谷，總少不了大吃大喝，已及疯狂購物啦！就因爲這樣，我又胖了好幾個公斤。Ｔ＿Ｔ

不信？！　看看以下照片中的我，我的臉是圓得像十五晚的月亮一樣！
＊哈哈＊

總之，這次的會面雖然只是短短的六天，但我玩得非常娛樂！
七月！七月趕快到來噢！！！

What I Want

Ever felt like you wanna get away from it all?
Well, that's exactly how I'm feeling right now.

I want to:
- Lie on a clear field, stare at the dark clouds in the sky, taking in the smell that lingers in the air just before it starts pouring.
- Drink myself silly till my vision is all fuzzy and lie motionless on a bed of feathers.
- Walk non-stop in a long, twining, never-ending road on a mountain.
- Stare blankly at into another's eyes when a question's being asked, with absolutely no intention/ obligation of replying.
- Lock myself in a pitch-black room, blast the music and dance without a care in the world till my limbs give up on me.

Now, what do YOU want?

My List Of Pet Peeves

I've never really thought of myself as a superstitious person.
Which explains why I've titled this post; 'My list of pet peeves' rather than 'My list of superstitions'. Anyhow, perhaps you all can take a look @ my list and tell me which is which!?

Here goes:-

1) The volume on my radio/ telly has to be an odd number.

2) I knock on the door 5 times, no more, no less.

3) I align the clip on pen caps to an angle just above the wordings in bold.

4) All stationeries/ make-up stuffs has to face towards the beginning of the zip on the pouch.

5) And here's a list of songs I've kinda blacklisted:-

* Eternal Love (PJ & Duncan) = Your boyfriend is cheating on you.

* Dancing in the Moonlight (TOPLOADER) = An affair to remember.

* 除非你清口對我說 (許志安) = A break-up is about to take place to someone near you.

* 回心轉意 (張宇) = You're gonna break-up with your boyfriend soon.

* 預感 (陳奕迅)= You're gonna have a fight with your boyfriend soon.

Ma-Ssa-Gee

Today’s my day off! *woo*
Exactly what I need right now!

Headed to Johor Bahru early this morning for a traditional Indonesian massage.
And boy was it G O O D!!!

The session lasted for 2 solid hours, and costs only RM$80!
I’ve been to a fair amount of massages during my 1 year in Bangkok. And so, when I went for this full-body massage session, I totally didn’t expect it to be THAT literal. I was really given a FULL-BODY massage!!! Yesh! Almost every single part of the body was being rubbed!

My masseuse was a heavily built, middle aged Malay lady. She spoke little English. And with my poor command of Melayu, we had a hard time understanding each other. Anyhow, it was a massage, so I figured there no need for much talking anyway.

Towards the last 30 minutes of the massage, she suddenly pointed at my naval ring and said, “Buka?” I understood that word, it meant ‘open’. But I didn’t quite understand why (-__-)> so I just shook my head in confusion. Then she placed her strong hands on my tummy and started massaging it. *woof* Call me ignorant, but seriously, this is the first time for me to have a masseuse massage my tummy area. But what came next was even more shocking for me. After she was done with the tummy area, she pointed at my chest area and said, “ne-ne mao?” … *FWAH* … they even massage the breasts!

One word: “是 GOOD 的 咯!” *ha ha ha*

This Goes Out To “SOMETHING” Special!

Last evening, I returned home to find a really pleasant surprise awaiting me @ home. It was a package from Beirut . . . from “SOMETHING”… *beam*

I picked up the package and looked at the big brown bulging envelope in my hands. I didn’t wanna rush thru this moment. Thought I oughtta take my time to enjoy this moment. To really feel the joy I was feeling.

Slowly & carefully I opened up the envelope from the side… there it was, a long white envelope addressed to ‘Her Highness’, aka muaz! *blush* Enclosed in it was a cherry red card filled with red sparkling sprinkles … and a bar of Morinaga Milk Chocolate all the way from Japan.

Awww……………

Happy Belated “White Day” to You Too, “SOMETHING” ! ! !



<--- The package I received.

Bright colours & chocs, both I LIKE~... --->












<--- From the man himself... "SOMETHING"

Look! No Hands!

Sundays are yoga days for deepsix.
Having attended the beginners class for a couple of months, I decided it's time to try out the intermediate class.
So yesterday, instead of going for the usual 09:30hrs beginners class, I attended the 10:30hrs intermediate session.

One word, "OUCH!".
I've gotta admit, the class was definitely more challenging as compared to the beginners class.
And boy am I aching all over today... *Ooo aahh!*....
But to be honest, the feeling is kinda shiok... I like~.... *ha ha ha*.....

At beginner classes, I've only attempted shoulder stands... but yesterday, for the very first time, I experienced what it was like to be fully inverted!
*WOO* ! ! !
The initial feeling was really weird, I was feeling all disoriented.
I was like..."WOAH..~ where's what!?
Lost for a split second, couldn't tell top from bottom, head from toe, front from back!
But once I got the hang of it, I was totally loving it! v(^_^)v

This 'stunt' I was doing is suppose to be the stage just before the full version for head stand.
The teacher had us arranged 2 chairs facing each other, with just enough space between the chairs for the neck to go through.
Thick blankets were placed on the chairs to act as cushions for the shoulders.
So basically, this was how I looked when I was doing the 'assisted' version head stand!

And The Craziness Goes Marching On ...

It's been some time since my last post.
Yes, since the crazy week I had.

The craziness didn't just end where I stopped.
Turns out, there's some progress with Y's Bro's suicide case.

Remember Y's Bro left behind a suicide note in his school bag?
Apparently, the suicide note was written on a notepad purchased from a nearby NTUC on the same day he passed away. The police got hold of the surveillance video @ NTUC, and found out that Y's Bro wasn't alone when he purchased the notepad. He was with this other guy, who's now a suspect in this case. It seems that he is suspected to have influenced the deceased in a way or another to step off the building.

Sometimes, I look around me and listen to the stories happening to my loved ones and my dear friends. And I can't help but think to myself, what a crazy world we're living in.

Take this incident which happened to a friend of mine for example.
She got to know this guy who is filthy rich and claims that there's this lady who keeps throwing herself at him. He even went to the extend to prove it but instructing her to do 'stuffs' to herself over the webcam while he watched with another person on the other end, without her knowledge!
How unethical is that?!

All the madness and stupidity.
It is no wonder why some 'contenders' simply choose to give up.

It Was A Crazy Week

Last week had been a crazy week for me and my family.
I guess it all started off with an arguement between Little One (LO) & his girl Y (or should I say, ex-gf) last Thursday.

So here was what happened ... ...
LO was busy preparing for the opening of his new office.
As he was busy vacuuming his office, Y called his on his cellphone while she was in her Dad's car, on her way home from work.
And for obvious reasons, LO couldn't hear his phone ringing away and so he didn't pick up the call.
Y got all worked up and directed her Dad to drive her to LO's office to see what he's up to.

When Y arrived at LO's office, she swung open the door and started yelling at him for 'neglecting' & 'ignoring' her.
Y continued yelling while LO stood there silently feeling all confused. That was when Y's Mum called Y's mobile and demanded to speak to LO.
Y's Mum gave LO a good 5 mins or so of tongue-lashing, then Y snatched the phone over and told her Mum: "We can settle this on our own!".
Y hung up the phone and while holding the phone in her right hand, she gave LO a big slap on his left cheek hitting him somewhere between his left ear and cheek! After doing so, she dashed out of the office for like 3 mins, then stormed right back and continued her yelling!

Same as before, while Y was in the middle of her 'lecture', her Dad called. (He drove her to LO's office remember? Apparently, he was still waiting in the car downstairs). Y handed the phone over to LO and this time, Y's Dad threatened LO in Hokkien, "Young man, I'm not a person to be messed with...". Then Y left the scene shortly after her Dad threatened LO.

The drama between LO & Y didn't stop after that night's incident.
Y's Mum called LO again the next morning (last Friday), demanding an apology and said she wants LO to return all the stuffs her daughter has ever given him and she doesn't want to see him again after that.

After that call from Y's Mum, we all thought that's the last we'll hear from Y.
Sadly, on that very night, LO was told by a friend that Y's younger Bro has took his own life earlier that evening.
The young lad was only 18 years old. He was schooling at VJC and a very intelligent kid too. He was supposed to take some special papers for his A Levels this year. But apparently, he was under way too much stress from his school work and couldn't take the pressure any longer.
He ended his life after jumping off the 10th storey from the HDB flat he was staying at. We later understood from Y's Mum that he didn't pass away instantly... he was sent to the hospital's emergency ward, but didn't make it thru. The police later found a will in the school bag he had with him when he jumped. He wrote that he was facing a lot of pressure in school and asked for his parents' forgiveness.

*sigh*... ...
It's scary isn't it . . . . . LIFE.

After a handful of friends contributed to the Johari & Nohari windows for deepsix, here's what most people think deepsix is like. With Johari windows revealing what are the positive traits of deepsix, and Nohari windows showing the opposite.

It's interesting to learn how complex the human mind can be, and the fact that no one, not even your closest pal can understand what goes on in your mind. Well of course, whatever I've mentioned above isn't new. But if you take a moment and think hard about it, it is kinda sad isn't it?

Monday Bluez Indeed. . .

The flu bug finally got to me...
Was up all night coughing & puking...
*darn*... I don't feel too well.

Went to work anyway, and headed to the clinic for some medicine in the morning.
Hope I will feel better after taking the medicine...
I need my sleep... @_@

Talk about Monday Bluez... *haiz*
Finally got the reply from my re-negotiations for "THE OFFER".
The conclusion: "NO ROOM FOR NEGOTIATIONS"!
Now I'm really in a dilemma; To accept or not to accept... ... ...
So I decided to do it the conventional way - weighing the pros & cons.

PROS
- More exposure
- Interesting challenges

CONS
- Management's credibility
- Feeling of being taken advantage of

Conclusion?
2 : 2 ...... What now?

Men's Best Friend

Was watching this program 'When Animals Attack' on AXN the other day. And there was one particular shark attack incident encountered by a diver in the Red Sea that caught my attention.

Martin Richardson, a 29 year old diver was out on a dive trip in the Red Sea off Egypt's Sinai Peninsula with a couple of friends. During their surface interval, Martin and his friends saw a pod of dolphins swimming in the sea and decided to go down for a swim among the dolphins. Martin was among the last of his friends to swim back to the dive boat after swimming with the dolphins.

Just as he was doing so, suddenly, something took a bite off his side! Martin was being attacked by a shark! He started to panic a little, and the shark took yet another bite at his upper arm. Companions aboard the dive boat heard him scream. Then they saw 3 bottlenose dolphins encircle the wounded man, flapping their fins and tails vigourously, in attempt to scare off the shark. The dolphins continued to circle Martin for several minutes until his companions reached him and rescued him from the sea.

Martin suffered bites in the left shoulder, stomach and back, including one that slightly punctured his lung. After a week plus of hospitalisation, Martin can now walk, talk and eat normally, all thanks to his life saviors - The Dolphins.

I invite you to JUDGE ME!

Know what I just realised.. ... deepsix kinda sounds like deep-sh*t!? *hahahaha*
Darn! Why did I give myself such a blog name anyway?! *duh*

Perhaps that's why most of my friends describe me as fish-brained.
Maybe I am, maybe I'm not & I'm just trying to amuse my fellow acquaintances!
Who's the fish-brain now... !!! (>.<) v

Anyhow, I got this from Senorita E - The Johari & Nohari Windows. It's a simple model for mapping personality awareness. Simply choose a couple of adjectives which best describes yourself, invite a couple of friends & family to contribute to the list then *voof* you now have a rough idea what deepsix is like! *winks*

What people like about Deepsix

What people dislike about Deepsix

Didn't do what I planned...

So it turns out, I didn't get to accomplish what I planned on doing over the weekends. Really pity I have yet to check out the stretch of restaurants along Rochester Park... anyhow, there's always this weekend... ^_*

So what DID I do last weekend..... mmm...

FRIDAY A colleague's friend came visiting from BKK. His name was - OH! To be pronounced in staccato . . ... if pronounced otherwise, it could be interpreted differently (if u know what I mean *winks*).

Anyway, we gathered a couple of colleagues, some Thais, some Singaporeans, and a Vietnamese. and we decided to head down to Prinsep Street for some wanton noodles @ Sunshine Plaza (my all time fav... not until I was introduced to the one @ TPY Central). After which, we proceed to this Arabic themed restaurant for some cold beer and honeydew flavoured sheesha! Check out the pix of my colleagues getting 'high' .... =p

Pic. 1: P'Tee taking his first puff. . .

Pic. 2: Tien is way too experience to feel the kick!

The night ended pretty early with my colleagues cos I thought I oughtta leave the guys to have some guy fun.... also, thought they might wanna show OH the other side of goodie good SIN. ;)

So I left the 'Smoky Joes' and went on to meet yet another 'Smoky Joe' - Wah Wah for a late night movie. We caught the movie 'Fun with Dick & Jane'. I didn't think it was a good movie... kinda depressing actually... *shrug*

SATURDAY By the time I woke up, the sun has setted... ... hahaha... so I went for a jog @ the park and spent the rest of the night chilling @ home *yawnz*...

SUNDAY Hung around town a little bit after my yoga session... saw this really cool fighter plane in front of Ngee Ann City, Breitling was having a roadshow or something.

Pic. 3: Cool huh!?! Its colour combi looks very similar with the Subaru Impreza rally car eh!
