In this sophisticated world, one often finds oneself in a struggle with power, fame, money, attention and many other unnecessary entities of life. I seek to find a simple life, uncomplicated yet meaningful. A lot more important elements of life are waiting to be discovered. Live your life to the fullest.

Working Life

I know I am getting lazy in updating my blog. Now I finally understand why, in the past, some of my friends who were working takes so long to write an new entry. It is because of laziness. This is also a very convenient excuse.

You see, when people work, they tend to be lazier during their leisure time. I do not know how true this is for you, but it certainly describes me, totally.

Out of the seven days in a week, 5 days are spent on working. I might have occasional dinner with friends after work some of the weekdays, but it is super draining and I would not recommend doing it frequently. That's why I enjoyed the dinners at Yishun with the FF gang since it is so convenient.

So that leaves me with just Friday night, Sat and Sun. And frankly speaking, to enjoy yourself all out for 3 days is suicidal. If I stayed out late on Friday or Sat night, the next day will be a super lethargic one, at least for the morning part. So I will need half a day to recover myself. Time is slipping fast as you can see. Quality time is not that much after all. I have got to manage it well.

Throw in my self indulgence sports like tennis, running, swimming, gym etc, and another half day will be gone.

And meeting up with different cliques of friends is almost a must every weekends. I just have to rotate the meeting times every few week. And with more cliques of friends, you get busier.

Seriously, I am glad to be single now. At least I have more time for myself and friends. I have seen friends who are in a relationship and meeting up with them is getting harder. I am not blaming them, just feeling helpless about it.

It is the same for me. Even if I do go out on dates, the weekend seems especially short. I have to turn down the usual gathering and meet up sessions with life time pals and friends.

I specially took 15 minutes off just to write this entry before I sleep.

Laziness is inborn. When you work harder, it grows inside you. When finally one fine day, it out-grown your own capacity to keep it in check, you will become like me: sitting in front of the computer with a tummy, blogging about how life is so short and quality time is so hard to find.

Get a hold of yourself. Welcome to the working world.

A Stressful Day At Work

Almost a week since I last blogged. Nothing much to write about actually. And I had no nice photos. Maybe this one:



Jinjia's birthday sometime ago. I have more photos, but I don't think it is appropriate for me to post them here since I dunnoe a lot of her friends.

Anyway, today I had a very stressful day at work. You might not understand what I am going to say next. It goes something like this:

The AE is sick or something. Someone has to handle and carry the deck phone. Me, being the most junior was given the chance to perform this task. I am scheduled to do this in OCT only fyi. But this time round it is an ad hoc situation. Was quite lost seriously. I even have to answer calls during my lunch. I wonder how they manage this. Impressive. However, I really learned a lot from this experience. Seems like they find this very effective and decided to prolong it! OMG!

I hope I can survive the week.

5 Years From Now

Seriously, I think posting pictures of babes will attract a lot of comments. But then, I dun have a lot of pretty friends to begin with. Most of those babes you see in the earlier post are not my direct friends. But then again they kind of become my friend after that night. Still... I don't take pictures with them so often so... you got to bear with the pictures I post. Lol.

Enough of that. For those who still do not know I am taking salsa classes, now you do. Think hy is trying to gather enough people to join. Here is the link. It is quite fun I must say. Will go for more lessons and social nights once I am good enough.

Was talking to ch about what we will become in 5 years time. I actually hoped to have a flat of my own. I can then have small parties every now and then in my house. Invite friends over for mj, drinks, poker, soccer watching and even salsa! Nice...

Time to change phone....

Trixie's Birthday @Dragonfly.

Its Trixie's birthday celebration at Dragonfly yesterday night. Happy birthday gal!

Lots of her friends turned up and some of whom I do not know. The following are pictures taken using hy's camera that night.

I actually have some reservation posting these pictures. Too many babes and hunks were there. This might cause some serious nose bleeding to some of my readers! Warning! Grab some tissue papers before continuing....
















































There you go. I hope you survived the ordeal.

No explanation on those pictures. Just enjoy them ok?

Botan Restaurant

Went to Botan restaurant @Far East Square for dinner with my internship friends yesterday night. Recommended by Lippy and so we went to have a look. The food was nice and the service not bad too. You can read more about the restaurant here.

The service is good. Once we arrived, we were treated with warm towels to clean our hands and face. The drinks were served first while we take our time to look at the menus. Recommendations by the staffs all turn out to be fantastic.

A warm sake to start the ball rolling.























The sets are huge. We ordered 3 sets and some other dishes to share among ourselves. 5 of us in all. A total damage of 122 bucks, but well spent I must say.

Next we went to esplanade to have dessert at Haagen Dazs.











What a filling night!

Wala Wala

Wala Wala on the 25th July. Yes, that's last week. Got the photos late but decided to upload it anyway.

The Famous Five was caught in action yet again, this time minus one though. So four of us went to chill out at Holland V Wala Wala and tried their Fish and Chips, rumored to be excellent by trixie. Indeed, it was quite good. The band was so so only on that night I feel.

We didn't have a table when we arrived at around 930 pm. Therefore, we settle at one corner and order some drinks to keep us happy while waiting for people to leave their tables.

A jug of beer plus pineapple juice to start off with.



I must really cut down on drinking beer. My belly is very... beer-ery?



This is an example of a fake two-toothed vampire.



Needless to say, this is a fake one-toothed vampire.



This probably is a fake vampire with his teeth grown at the wrong position. I suggest a visit to the dentist.



There you go, the legendary Fish and Chips.



Hmm.. this is a picture of evil people trying to dig my vampire tooth away? Or were they nice people trying to help me dig my nose? Oh my, I can do that myself. Thanks guys.



Not only is it a night of fake vampires, it is also a night of witches. Help!





I am red! See, I can change colour easily.




Two lesbians trying to kiss each other.



Two gays trying to kiss each other as well? What's up with the people over there?



Enjoying my cocktail.









That red thingy is probably the tail of some mouse or whatever this vampire is trying to gobble.



Curse of the night on our wrists and four cup noodles to end the day.



A quote to share with you guys:

You sow a thought, you reap an action. Reap an action, you sow a habit. Sow a habit, you reap a character. Sow a character, you reap your destiny.
