had lunch wif jasmin today at china square central. she has been working arnd the area for quite sum time now before commencing on her masters, and we tot it'll be nice to haf lunch together. at abt 10 in the morn, she MSNed me saying tat she's craving for pasta. so we scoured the net for any possible eateries (cos restaurants here are juz way over our budget)arnd the area but there were none. in the end, we settled for china square food court wif sum fish soup. the food didnt disappoint and the company couldnt be any better with us toking abt the clique and of course how archipelago sux!

on the way back, i passed by this pushcart wif a guy selling BRAND NEW books, fiction, non-fiction, self-help books for juz $10. yes, $10! i couldnt resist and went to browse wat's available. i was really spoilt for choice, shld i get Guanxi, Stephen king or mitch albom? so this was wat i got instead......



yes, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. i noe, it's a fairly old book but i haven read it yet and have always wanted to so i was presented wif the perfect opportunity. :)



PS: Benoit is dead as all of u noe by now but apparently he killed his family members due to an argument wif his wife over him spending more time at home wif his mentally-disabled son. First of all, as naz said, i dun approve of stuff like tat but i believe he hadbeen frustrated over this situation for a very long time. raising a kid is not easy, moreover a mentally-disabled one. to add salt to injury, his job required him to be away for more than 3/4 of the year but it puts more than juz bread on the table hence he's still doing it, and damn well at that. so this event would never take away the man he is and the image i haf of him. i had the privilege of meeting him once and he came across to be a sincere man even tho he was jet lagged and meeting thousands of pple. RIP Chris, a legend always.

salsa & prata

ok we all noe that salsa and prata doesnt go together and originate frm totally different places. but sad to say, these 2 go hand in hand for now.

i had my first salsa lesson yest and my oh my, i had so much fun im looking forward to the next lesson and checking when's the next available slot, not waiting for another wk! first of all, THANK YOU liz for bringing me and sheryl there.. we would definitely be lost without you. :) u noe the world is a small place and u meet frens even in foreign countries, i haf to say singapore is really a dot on the world. lemme do sum explanation b4 i start, liz introduced sheryl to join the class wif me as my dance partner, so i went wif her. at the studio, i met another sheryl(yes, same spelling), unexpectedly because she nv did mention tat she was interested during conversations me n shaun had abt salsa. now comes the bad news, i met mr ho zhonghuan (army guys shld noe him, infamous for pcc in bunk), a guy i wun want to meet even tho we're are the only 2 left on earth! so now, the coincidence cycle doesnt end here, my dance partner sheryl, shares the same surname as me and the instructor is called jared too! wonderful huh~ small small singapore... but nonetheless, 123, 567, 123, 567. :)

here comes the prata section, the number of times i've been to RK house at serangoon garden these past few weeks is more than the number of times i've had prata last month. im not sick of the prata there (cos it's one of the nicest arnd the area) but it's really unhealthy. now now, jeryd is not being a health freak here, nor being a colin, but im juz concern due to me not doing as much exercises as b4 and sooner or later, i mite juz be as fat as my dad!! nono.. shall not let tat happen.. oh, fyi, tats the place where they played the "no pork" trick on the waiter.. haha!

here's my supper khaki for today, my classmate jacquelin, after intensive revision for our upcoming paper.. (she's gonna hate me for this.. :D)



and here's me wif my crooked face at the same old place..

this seems all too strange with me staring at Blogger's interface and typing a new entry on this stale old blog. How old is this blog, i cant really remember but it sure had been revived more than it should have. Deja vu. But here we go again, this time round, different content, different perspective and different me, for sure.

Now, I guess I'm stepping into this new stage in my life where I'm back living for myself. But then again, I'm at an age where whatever i do would reflect on the near future or even further ahead. So it's kinda not the ideal stage I would hope to be. Look at the picture above and that's what i want to do and where i want to go. A clear pristine beach to jump around with no worries and forget all physical and emotional attachments that reality deals me with. However this might not happen anytime soon due to all the commitments I wish i could throw away. But i cant, i have to think about my future.

been hanging around with my friends alot recently and i value them more now. They stuck by me no matter what and brought me through every hurdle they can lug me through. Thanks Guys! Here we are having dinner at Waraku, nice udon and not pricey too!



i just realised I'm like a frog that's stuck in a well. Where have i travelled? mostly in southeast asia and not more than 2 hours flight away. My longest was to Hongkong recently and now i want to travel more, to places further and most importantly, with different cultures to experience. If possible, I want to head on down to Perth to carry on my course. The time spent there all alone is priceless and i guarantee that i would find out some new stuff about myself. Money is always a factor for that, we shall see.
