At a Crossroads

Singapore Dreaming

2006-09-10T20:18:00.000+08:00

Last night I went to watch the movie Singapore Dreaming, with my old flatmates. It was quite entertaining and at the same time informative since I am not Singaporean. I would highly recommend it to those people who would like to get some insight into life on the island.

"As I wash dishes at the kitchen sink, my husband paces behind me, irritated. "Have you seen my keys?" he snarls, then huffs out a loud sigh and stomps from the room with our dog, Dixie, at his heels, anxious over her favorite human's upset...." Read More

Its Over

2006-04-29T02:13:00.000+08:00

Exams are over, another semester comes to an end, I guess I should be happy but i'm not, in fact its quite depressing.

:(

So I went to the dentist and he pulled out two of my teeth. It was some experience. It couldn't be a regular extraction could it, he had to cut my tooth, with what sounded like a chain saw, and remove it piece by piece. Now half my jaw is swollen, I can't chew anything and I have an exam tomorrow. And oh yes, it cost me a bomb.

No more Chocolate

2006-04-20T16:08:00.000+08:00

I guess all the chocolate I have been consuming has finally caught up with me, chocolate milk, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake and plain chocolate. Last night I was having my dinner when I suddenly felt this throbbing pain in my mouth. At first I ignored it hoping it would go away but it persisted. So I went to the mirror and tried to self diagnose the problem and it turned out I have a cavity in my wisdom tooth, WTF!!!!! Now I’m going to get dumber. I've never had problem with my teeth, what the hell, I’m supposed to be immune!!!! I asked my sister to have a look to make sure and she confirmed my suspicion with a grin...sadist! For some reason, every few minutes I kept going to the mirror to have a look, hoping that it would have miraculously disappeared but much to my horror I find another tooth developing a cavity as well. Yea, another wisdom tooth, getting dumb by the minute. So anyways its been hurting like hell, off to the dentist tomorrow. My poor wallet.

This is Incredible!

The Weekend

2006-03-24T12:39:00.000+08:00

Last weekend was great. Reached KL at eight in the morning and checked into a backpacker's hostel near Puduraya bus terminal. Spent most of the day at KLCC and this is where I finally did it. After much persuation by my friends I decided to get my hair colored and while I was at it I got my hair style changed as well, something i've been wanting to do since forever but never got around to it. It was the first time I stepped into a proper hair salon where the person cutting my hair was not some grumpy old man, infact someone pretty much the opposite who was even open to a bit of flirting =). At one point in time my head was stuck into the mouth of this alien like creature and I was just waiting for my head to go up in flames becasue of the heat. By the way for you ignorants ones out there, the alien like creature is called the 4 Headed Heat Lamp :D

Later in the night I finally got a chance to try out the much talked about Ramly Burger. Its really interesting to see the way the make it, especially the part where they make a hole in the egg and spread it over the hot plate so that its like a huge wrapper inside which the contents of the burger are placed. Also went to Chinatown to pick up some stuff, the place is so hot and crowded, I was feeling suffocated after a while, don't think i'll be going back there. They tell me its nothing compared to the one in Bangkok.
Next day we took a cab to the Sepang F1 Circuit to watch the F1 Grand Prix, the main purpose of our visit. It was amazing, worth every penny. The noise those cars generate is simply incredible. We were sitting close to where Raikkonen crashed but missed the actual crash because we were on the other side of the hill. After the race we headed back to KL and took the train to Singapore where I had to work on a case which had to be submitted the same evening. It seems like its all i've been doing this semester, one case after another. Last semester people were complaining that we are not getting enough cases and this time its just the opposite.

Dumbass!!

Why am I such a dumbass?. **Banging my head on the desk**

Freedom of Speech.

2006-02-21T12:04:00.000+08:00

I was quite surprised to come across this news item, Holocaust denier: 3-year jail term. What about freedom of speech in this case?

Marry or Not to Marry? That is the Question.

2006-01-22T01:32:00.000+08:00

I have heard many people say that once you get married, your financial situation will improve, you will have good fortune etc. etc. They say it is because the additional member in the family brings along with them their own luck or whatever you want to call it. But for some reason it doesn't make sense to me, its not logical, then I come across this study which shows that it actually does happens.

Resolutions!

2006-01-01T02:49:00.000+08:00

Last year I made two new year resolutions out of which I succeeded in one. Got two more for next year, run a marathon and complete my MBA.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

You're Beautiful

2005-12-28T00:09:00.000+08:00

I have a strict policy of not posting lyrics on my blog but for some reason I just love this song and had to put it up

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
F**king high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

The Trip's Ruined

2005-12-26T21:53:00.000+08:00

I'm here for 3 fucking weeks and I have an accident. Rearended while stopped at a crossing. Why can't these assholes look where they are driving. Its the second time this has happened with me. First time the guy was busy with his cell phone and this time chatting with the guy next to him. FUCKING MORONS!!!!
I hate this dump, looking forward to returning to civilization in a weeks time.

KL Trip and Back Home

2005-12-14T16:58:00.000+08:00

Last couple of weeks have been great. Went to KL for a holiday with some buddies from school. Genting highlands was a disappointment though. The place has become too commercialised. Port Dickson was fun, went swimming at the beach. Next stop was the historical city of Malaka where we stayed at this hitch hikers lodge which itself made the stop worth while for reasons better left unsaid. The highlight of the trip was for sure the Petronas Twin Towers, its the most beautiful structure i've seen.
The morning after I returned from KL took a flight home. Been meeting up with friends during the last few days. Its good to be home, though at the same time I can't wait to get back to Singapore.
P.S. My next update will most probably be after I get back, the net here is too damn slow.

The Semester Ends!

2005-12-01T10:05:00.001+08:00

Yesterday was a blast. We had our last exam of the semester after which we decided to celebrate. First we went to East Coast Park for a BBQ, where I even did some roller blading for the first time. After the BBQ at about 10pm we headed to dbl-O for some dancing and were there till two in the morning. Should do it more often.
Time has really flown by, I guess time flies when you are having fun. Soon its gonna be all over and will have to resume our routine working life.

40th Anniversary Gala Dinner

2005-11-07T23:59:00.000+08:00

Last weekend I attended the NUS Business School's 40th Anniversary Gala Dinner at the Meritus Mandarin. It was S$68.00 per seat but the MBA program office paid for a limited no. of students, so basically I got a delicious seven course meal at a five start hotel free of charge :)
It was an enjoyable evening, we had a couple of speaches, a few lotteries and some pretty talented students who entertained us all. There was was this one guy who played the Ehru, another one played the Harp and a third (Alexander Ong Theen Eng), who apparently has already released 2 albums, sang a couple of his songs.
