Midnight Shopping Experience

Hey hey!

Here I am, at 3:20am, placing an entry into this here blog. Well, I just returned not long ago from my first time at Mustafa Shopping Centre! I went to accompany Eugene, my cousin, coz he suddenly had a craving for salad and he wanted Bacon Bits. Haha! Well, we bought stuff alright... but none of them were Bacon Bits. We hunted high and low for it but to no avail. In the end, we asked some staff about it and I heard a hilarious question asked back to us:

"Is it vermicelli?"

Oh man! I nearly burst out laughing can... hahaha! But it's ok. According to one of them, it's one more item to take note of to put on the shelves. =)

I bought my 1kg of honey coz mine's running out. Eugene wanted to buy those super ex kind... the Manuka honey... supposedly have some kind of herbal effect or something. *shrugs* After a long time of consideration, I decided to go for the 2nd cheapest. Haha! Oh, and I bought roasted chestnuts too! They were cheaper than what I got last time... different brand though.

Actually, I was kinda disappointed, coz I heard many stories about the things there being dirt cheap... but no leh... not really. For example, they have green LASERs! I'm somewhat surprised they have them, but ok... well... I asked for the strongest one they have, which is a 100mW one... What's the cost? Guess... Lemme give u a hint. I bought my 30mW one online for roughly SGD$30. From the same online store, a 100mW one would cost less than SGD$130. This one they were selling at Mustafa (which was a pen-style one) was going at $290!!! I was like... woah! $290, I could have gotten myself that blu-ray one I've been drooling over for so long. Anyways, the guy's attitude sucks. I was like, "Can I see?" Then he was like, "See? See lor. It's there," and he pointed to one. Inside me, I wanted to slap his face, except I would never do that because it's maximum filth with minimum impact. Instead, I merely smirked and walked away, knowing that my 30mW green in my pocket can do what he mentioned his 100mW green could do: see the ray. I smirked also because I know for sure that my LASER knowledge far exceeds his and my showing off would only fall on hairy, unknowledgeable ears.

Ok, time to sleep now. It's late... haha! I wonder what time I'll wake up tmr.

Oh, by the way, I didn't go to the reservoir for a nightwalk. Thinking about the xian-ness of going alone is already a turn-off... On top of that, remembering how dark it was and how easily my imagination ran wild was the lock that latched my resolve not to go alone. Yet, I shall have to go alone if and when I finally want to obtain my first wild scorpion pet, for I believe nobody would be interested in going on a night hike through secondary rainforests with me.

Oh wells... *shrugs* =)

A Very Long Detour...

So I was uber bored this arvo... spent the whole morning slacking in front of the TV. I blame the existance of this abomination in my living room for such sloth behaviour.

Well, it was hot & humid too today... surprisingly, since the past week has been cooling and gloomy. So I was sitting and sweating in my cozy corner when I got fed up and decided to sweat it out. Took my camera gear, extra batteries, a paint scraper, 4 tiny ziplocks, a small backpack, and I set off for AMK Central. The intention was to take photos while I walk through the park, buy about 10L of soil, get some bottles of Sprite or Coke at $1.05, buy some mangosteens, and walk back and scrape some moss off the sides of some very sunlight-exposed drains. The soil and moss will be used for my soon-to-be pet's home. That pet would be a wild scorpion. Hopefully I manage to find an Emperor Scorpion... it's the most docile of all, I think. And least venomous? Nevertheless, even if I find a lethal one, it does not matter, since I am highly unlikely to handle them with my bare hands.

So I managed to take some photos, of which only 11 are presentable. I've placed them on Slide.com again... and embedded these onto the last Kim Possible icon.

I'll take a picture of my mossy tank if the moss and some other plant manage to thrive in there a couple of days. I think I need more though... probably go scrape some more tomorrow. =) All I can say is, it looks good for now. Also, I was thinking of catching maybe 2 or 3 earthworms to aerate the soil? But there'd be too little soil for even 1 earthworm to go through, so maybe not. I'll hunt for pill bugs though... Pill bugs a.k.a. woodlice. They can decompose dry leaves that I'll be throwing in, and they can be food for my scorpion! Or scorpions. I haven't decided if I want 1 or 2.

So who wants to go scorpion hunting with me? =D I'd be delighted!

Toy Kingdom!!!

Heyo! Wah seh... having nothing to do really increases my blogging frequency. Haha! Today, I did this:

You can click on it to see everyone in the photo. =) I displayed Lego toys, Spiderman toys, Batman toys, I've got a couple of other Marvel heroes like Iceman and Deadpool. Then I've got an Alien queen, and Transformers: Beast Wars. And another couple of forgotten heroes

Met Bingjun for dinner. Went to Charco's at AMK Ave 5. Haha! We concluded that Nando's was better, but he still felt that Nando's wasn't nice coz it's too dry. *shrugs* I'm fine with Nando's coz I usually put lots and lots of Peri Peri Sauce. =)

Hmm... what else to say... Oh yes!

Karaoke! I don't really like karaoke. I don't like everyone to hear my mistakes. I don't wanna sound off key. I don't wanna sing the wrong words at the wrong time and have my mistakes amplified, and in some systems, pointed out and scored. I'm sure many others feel that too, that's why they go for home karaoke systems: free, sing almost anytime u want, nobody to criticize your bad singing. BUT, I'm VERY VERY VERY sure some people are ultra tone deaf, and they still like to blast their speakers till the whole neighbourhood can hear their bad singing. These are the people who appear in the first couple of episodes of Singapore Idol, or American Idol, or whatever other country's Idol.

This afternoon, I was unfortunate enough to hear my neighbours sing. We chinese like to say when people are singing badly, that it sounds like they're killing chickens. 杀鸡。Today, I finally experienced the authentic clucking of that not-so-old chinese saying. Check it out:

WARNING!!!
Health hazard! May
decrease lifespan of
eardrums!
Play with caution!

Download My Neighbour - 杀鸡

If you downloaded and listened to that, I'm sorry you had to hear that. But, even though I think it might shorten the lifespan of your eardrums, I find it hilarious enough to warrant the risk. =D

Ok, that's all for my life today. =) Cheers!

CAPTAIN'S BALL!!!

Yay! I played Captain's Ball yesterday! Woohoo!

Unfortunately, I have no pictures to show. =)

But yes, it was very good fun. I would totally go for it if ORPC have it every week. Haha! We played in the Botanic Gardens though, and we didn't have chairs for the catcher to stand on. Ok, so it's modified, but it was still great fun! Louis said I was irritating, haha! And I take that as a compliment! I was irritating coz I block well, and I mark well. Haha! I remember the last 30s of my last match I was the blocker, then so crazy! Hahaha! It really was a warzone around me. Laura was the catcher I'm blocking. And I just kept blocking the balls that were thrown to her. Jump and jump and jump and jump... damn tiring. But I still managed. That's why Louis said I was irritating. Haha!

Oh, and they were saying I could jump very high. Haha! Daniel said maybe even higher than him! Well, I don't know about that, but it sure sounds high. When we left Botanic Gardens, Claire was like, "we found a hidden talent in Kane." Hahaha!

*sigh* I miss the Captain's Ball days... very very much. Unfortunately, I don't think I can get the YAMs and the youths to play Captain's Ball every week. Oh wells. I guess I'm the only Methodist Captain's Ball nut in a Presbyterian church.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last night, the urge to buy my blue LASER came back with a vengeance. Luckily, my resolve to save money and the logic and objectivity in me prevented me from ordering one straight away. I'm still thinking about it now, but it's just a nagging voice at the back of my head...

Did I mention that the guy who's making these LASERs offered me a free hand made red LASER if I bought a blue one from him? Yeah... it's like getting 2 LASERs for the price of one... *drools* That makes it THAT much more tempting. *sigh*

Life... *sigh*

Heyo...

So I assembled my mini Billy bookcase this afternoon after lunch. Shifted my Christian books to it. Hmm... only a few. Will shift more books to it once I figure out how I want to seperate my books. Probably serious reads and lalala reads...

Anyways, I was supposed to meet my aunt for dinner. Yesterday she said 6+ or 7 like that. So around 6, I walked to AMK central to await her call. Meanwhile, I went around to look at remote controlled fans for my room.

At 7pm, I called my aunt, and she was like, "I tried calling your house but nobody answered. Anyway, I wanted to tell you today cannot make it, change to tomorrow." But I've got Captain's Ball tmr, so I didn't wanna meet her after that. Then she say then next time lor.

Well, all is not lost. I got my 2 purple pens from Popular with my sister's Popular card (read: 10% off). Yay! Was contemplating between my photoalbum refills or getting another album. Then the auntie say December members got 20% discount. So since I don't print so much, I shall wait till December! Yay!

Bought 4 1.5L bottles of Coke and 1 of Sprite... all from Thailand I think, so it's only $1.05 each. Lugged it home, stopped by Sheng Shiong, bought eggs, vege, frozen prawns. Lugged EVERYTHING home (I walked) and started preparing my own dinner. I figured it's been some time since I had my unagi, so I shall make some Una Don today. Fusion jap and chinese style though. Haha! And this is what came out:


K, the Una Don was authentic enough, cf. restaurants. A tad too much light soy sauce though... and I should buy Kikoman ones instead of the standard cheapo chinese ones. Then again, I'm not one to gripe, so I suppose that's fine. The chinese dish is in the top left: xiao bai cai with oyster sauce & sesame oil. Haha! And well, if u consider the drink, it's western: Coca Cola! So dinner adds up to about... $3+? Definitely less than $4. Yay! Una Don set at that price... wonderful. =)

Ok, on to less happy things...

Whilst I was wandering about AMK Central just now, I started thinking again... and life really feels kinda empty. Feels kinda meaningless to just work to survive. And the feeling of there being much more than this haunts me again.

That's where Christians are different from the world I guess. We have a purpose: to spread the Good News! That's our mission! But I'm still holding back! I don't know why. I just don't FEEL right... maybe it's here that Satan is trying to pull us away... pull ME away from GOD.

Last Sunday, Daniel approached me asking if I would consider being part of the committee for the young adults ministry. He said he'd give me a couple of weeks to think it through. I said, yeah, gimme a couple of weeks. But now, I feel that I should serve somewhere. The past year, I've been giving the excuse that I'm not settled yet, and that should a job offer come up somewhere, I would go for it... and hopefully it'd be overseas. And because of that, I didn't want to commit to anything. But seeing that I've been here in Singapore for the past year, serving no where, something inside me says that it's time to start serving again... no matter how brief. Because it's through serving that you fellowship... like really fellowship. Not just "Hey, how's work been? Busy? How's life? So what do you do after work everyday? What do you do on weekends? Oh-h-h! I see I see... Hmm... ok..." Y'know what I mean?

That's also why I decided to go for Captain's Ball, even though Tiff & Pat can't make it. Of course, it's because I miss it so much too. Hahaha!

And while we're on the topic of Christians being different, it's really quite sad to know that the church is full of judgement, incompassion, hypocrites, and destructive gossipers. Of course, the church is a gathering of sinners, where the lowliest come for forgiveness and repentance. I know that the church is made up of imperfect people, that's why currently, every church is imperfect in their own way, and in GOD's way. But hey, sinners go to church to REPENT, to build people up, to read and learn GOD's word. Not go there as a congregation of sinners and continue doing sinful things and tearing people down.

Y'know, cartoons have alot of meaning in it. From cartoons (Teen Titans, specifically), I learnt that the greatest potential of evil always lies in the quiet ones... Likewise in the real world, it's always the simple, littler things that will cause our downfall. We don't murder, we don't rape, we don't steal, we don't worship idols... but we tell little lies to make ourselves sound better, we tell little lies to "not hurt someone as much", we gossip here and there to know what's going on in someone's life, we say it's out of concern, we start to share our concerns with more and more people except the one in question, we tell white lies out of goodwill, we say it's being tactful... etc etc etc etc...

A crumbling building begins with a small crack into which a plant seed has fallen into. As the plant grows, it widens the cracks bit by bit, bit by bit... you should know the rest.

"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it."
-James 2:10

We got to be careful who we portray ourselves to be... even in church. I pray for the day I will have the courage to stand up to those who, having served in the church community for so long, have deviated in their goals and their focus. Till then, I can only pray that someone else will.

I hope the last couple of paragraphs didn't sound too off. Fact is, I'm quite tired now. It's 1:20am and I'm still typing here. And I just had a very hypothetical, very theoretical discussion with Joanna, so I'm kinda zonked right now. Heh.

Good night everyone.

P/S: As for Teen Titans, it was Slade talking to Raven about her potential to destroy the earth. Raven is on the good side, by the way.

When I Get Bored

K, so I stayed home the whole of today. IKEA's clearance sale ends Sunday. I guess if I wanna get something that's on sale, it's either tomorrow or Sunday. But the young adults are having Captain's Ball on Sunday!!! Oh man! I feel like going! But like, also don't feel like going coz... I dunno. Don't really know them that well? But if someone else came to me for advice, I'd tell them, "That's why you should go and get to know them!"

K, I guess I convinced myself. Haha! Now to try and convince Tiff & Pat too...

Anyways, I kinda slacked at home today. Kinda coz I did actually do something worth mentioning. I painted my step stool. I painted it blue! I was complaining that the blue I got was lighter than the blue indicated on the paint cap. The hue is livable, but I'd prefer a darker shade though. Unfortunately, pictures taken with my phone's camera AND my Lumix show that they're the same colors. In my defense, I must say that digital camera sensors have difficulty reproducing blue and purple hues. It's true! Haven't u ever wanted to take photo of a beautiful purple flower, only to find that it looks more blue than purple? Yeah, that's the effect I'm talking about.


Anyhow, here it is, my completed plain blue stool:

As you can see, the cap's color looks exactly the same as the stool. But I'm tellin' ya, it's different! For those who believe the camera tells it all, wait till u come to my place for a visit. *pfft*

All in all, I'm glad that the stool isn't just plain, birch colored anymore. And I'm proud to say that my spray painting skills are still pretty good! If u came and felt my stool, you'll see that it's SMOO-OO-OOTH... haha! Of course, that's just the top surface. The legs and all are rough, because I didn't BOTHER sanding them down. Not that I didn't know how. I didn't BOTHER... mind you. For the record, I've spray painted Jared's car bumper from black, to match the white of his car. And not just to match the color, I had to match the gloss too ok! For all you spray painting rookies out there, you'll know that's not easy to achieve. Ha!

K, enough boasting. I might decorate my stool with some patterns later on. We'll see how that goes. Damn, I need to start taking before and after shots of the things I do.

I shall try to take photos of my next project: BUILDING A LAVA LAMP!!!

Yes, I know I've been piping about it for the past few years. But I'm finally gonna make one! I now have the ingredients necessary to make my own! Woohoo!

What's that? Yes, of course u can buy a lava lamp. And yes, you can get them real cheap nowsadays. But buying is different from MAKING... FROM SCRATCH... How many of you actually KNOW someone who's made their OWN lava lamp? Hmm? How many of you even know people who OWN a lava lamp?

Now, what color should I make the goo? Hmm... and what color should I make the liquid in which the goo shall be suspended? *ponders*

Possible Goo : Liquid color combi:

Black : Red
Blue : Yellow
Purple : Pink
Lime : Clear
Orange : Clear
Blue : Clear
White : Red?

Hmm... I'm out. Any more ideas? Tag me or comment in this post! =)

MORE Retail Therapy

I went to IKEA today... haha! With Bingjun. =)


I think I love IKEA. Haha! Went to the Tampines one today... I like that more than the Alexander one coz it's bigger and it's more organized.


Anyway, I bought $81.25 worth of stuff today. A cushion and its cover costs $20. A mat friction thingy costs $4. A set of 3 colorful polka dot tins costs $2.50. A small kids' table for my laptop when I'm sitting on the floor costs $39. Hmm... what else did I get? Oh yes! Some drawer organizers that costs $12.95. Now my undies and socks are in my drawers already! Yay!


And I found another shelf to squeeze under my bed... haha! JUST nice... And I need that shelf to put the ever-increasing number of random books I find here & there. That costs $39... maybe I'll get that tmr. And oh! I found this for Evonne!




Wonder if she'll want it... haha! It can hold soup... and it's got one handle...

Hai... I'm still lacking of a toiletries holder and more shelf space for my thingamabobs... and I need to get rid of the stupid old TV that's still working. It's taking up a big chunk of space from my room!!!

Oh, did I tell u that I set up a cozy corner right below my window? It's got lots of cushions and soft toys! And I've got candles around me, and an incandescent spotlight on top, so it's really quite cozy... =) Especially these few days rainy rainy, cooling cooling one... haha! I love my refurnished room, even though it's gonna cost me about $400 in total after everything. At least I can start living IN it again... haha!

Packing Days

Hello...

I've been packing the whole day yesterday & today. Yesterday was hot man... sweat soaked my t-shirt while I carried stuff and wiped and vacuumed and cleaned. In the evening, went J8 to meet Joanna, Carolyn & Wendy for dinner at Café Cartel. Had a medium rare sirloin steak. Man... NEVER eat steak from a non-professional steakhouse! I think they gave me a slab with leather attached! Like, my knife can't even saw through that layer la! My first mouthful was a huge one, and my teeth can't cut that strip. Damn... in the end, I had to swallow a huge bolus of uncuttable beef down my throat. I hope my stomach had a better time breaking down the leather.

Anyway, back to packing... Today was a much better day to pack. It was raining when I woke up, so the day's generally cool. I didn't even need to turn on the fan! Yay! Of course, raining when I woke up meant that the rug I hung out to dry last night was soaking wet again. In the end, I got quite sick of waiting for it to drip dry, then air dry, so I put the soaking rug in the washing machine, added laundry powder, and machine washed the damn thing... which meant, spun dry, which was much drier out of the wash then it was 5 hours hanging from the bathroom door.

Hmm... I like over-elaborating on something, don't I? Ok ok...

Today was a lighter packing day compared to yesterday. Basically just rearranging the stuff strewn over my new shelf, assembling my IKEA drop-leaf table, and clearing out 3 drawers worth of old tees, shorts, singlets, old underwear, and worn out socks. Of course, I've got newer ones to take their place, but I'm not gonna put them in just yet. I was about to, though, but thought it might be better if I got them IKEA drawer organisers to section my drawers. Much neater this way, duncha think?

See my newer underwear!!! Hahaha! There're more in the wash. I've got reds too... and yellow! So yes, I've got essentially the whole rainbow.

And see the amount of socks I have! Oh my gosh! If I didn't lay them out like that, I would never have known! So reminder to myself: no need to buy new socks... at least not the same kinds...


I'm going IKEA tmr!!! With Bingjun, was the intention... but he might have something up, so I might be going alone. Hmm... well... I guess I can take my own sweet time then.

Oh! I listened to my old old techno songs today! Wah seh... power... hahaha! Super retro, and very nice to sing along! =) Hee hee!

Morning song...

This morning, I woke up with this song in my head:

"You are the girl of my dreams;
In my heart I believe
You are the girl of my dreams,
Baby, of my dreams.

All alone in my room,
Wishing that you were here.
Without you in my arms,
I'm holding back all the tears.

Without you in my life,
I'll never be satisfied.

Sometimes I feel
I could have been better to you.
All I want is a chance
To prove that my love is true.

Baby lets go back in time
To when our hearts would shine,
And I could hold you tight
In my dreams at night..."

-The Moffatts: Girl of My Dreams

Last night, I couldn't sleep because my mind would wander to places that I miss, places that I love... places in my mind that... would keep me awake.

In the end, I came out to watch TV... until don't know what time. I just know that I needed to watch till my eyes were droopy, then my mind wouldn't wander, and I could finally sleep...

Let us hold on tight and not let go.
This field of dreams would soon blossom into a harvestfield of life.

The Meaning of Life

During dinner just now, I had a feeling of lostness sweep over me.

I'm going back to the bank to work for an indefinite period of time again. I'll be starting again on 4th August, which is about 2 weeks from now. Why? Because I've been convinced of a well-paying job whilst I hunt for what I think would be the perfect job. In reality, I don't even know what I wanna do... yet. "Yet" is an important word. Anyhow, I just want to work with insects. The more exotic the job, the better.

But right now, I guess I have to settle for this. I always believed that people shouldn't work for money. Because that work would just become a chore, and you'll hate to go to work. If one can find a job one enjoys, then you'd wanna stay at work as long as you can, because you love what you're doing, and you just wanna keep doing it. Yet, I have stooped to the level everyone has chided me with... to work for the money.

Oh wells, on the bright side, at least I'll have money to spend on the latest gadgets and useless thingamabobs! =)

I need photography therapy soon... Some hiking next week should do the trick. Who's up for walking through the forests and getting bitten all over with mozzies? Hahaha!

Heavy Retail Therapy

Hello everybody!

As the title states, I've had some heavy retail therapy done the last 2 days. Maybe it's not as heavy as some people, but it is to me...

I bought my speakers!!! Decided on this:

The red rings really are much redder than what u can see here. And it isn't too bad looking, although I'd have preferred something to the likes of piano gloss or chrome or glossy silver... but well, beggars can't be choosers. This one sounds pretty decent. And yes, I've tested the Sonic Gear speakers. At first they sounded alright... then I heard the Altec Lansing ones, and I was like, k, Sonic Gear's outta my list.

RRP$89. I got mine for $73! Yay!

I also got myself my long sought after film scanner: The CanoScan 8800F!

Now I can scan my film and slides into my computer!!! Yeah! And it can do 35mm and Medium Format! Hopefully it's full frame, but otherwise, I have ideas for a workaround. So if any of you are old-school enough, or into Lomo, and you want to digitize your images, feel free to look for me! I can do it for you when I have the time! Yeah yeah! Hahaha!

RRP$319. I got mine for $299. Used to see it at $293, but the shop that sells it at the price doesn't have anymore stocks. Although I was quite reluctant to pay $6 more, there aren't many places that sell this, and nowhere sells this below $300. So-o-o... *shrugs* Oh wells. Let's not think about the price.

Now u see why I call this heavy retail therapy. Haha! Burned a hole in my pocket man... But wait! It's not just heavy on the price tag, it's LITERALLY HEAVY too! Cynthia can vouch for that... haha! My scanner at least. My speakers weighed about 11kg (so the manual says), and my scanner weighed in at around 10kg too! That's why I spread them out over 2 days. My arms are abit achy from lugging them around on the days that I bought each item. Haha!

K la... gonna prepare from breakfast at Jln Senang already. Tau huay fever!!! Woohoo!!!

Update on My Life

Hmm... another week gone by since I last blogged. Time really flies eh...

Some updates on my life: IKEA stuff bought and delivered by Uncle Leong, my mum's shop's delivery man, at NO CHARGE!!! Haha! Coz he said he's helping as a friend mah, so no need. Once off only. But I told my mum still need to give him money la. Someday she will do that on my behalf. Anyways, IKEA stuff assembled, thingamabobs ready for placement on shelves and room ready to be cleaned up. Still alot to go though... and at the rate of my going out, heh, I think I can only finish next week...

My old computer speakers aren't working! =( K, the subwoofer and the right speaker are working, but somehow the left one isn't. Hai... that means I need to spend some more money on speakers. And since I get to choose, I'd want nice ones... and I'd prefer one with a remote control so I can control volume from afar. I already got myself an IR remote for my iPod so I can control volume and tracks from that, but if somehow I wanna listen to music from my discman or laptop, I need to go to the players to change the volume and all... so it'd be good if the speakers came with wireless volume control.

Such as these from Altec Lansing:

K, only the first 2 have wireless remotes, but if prices are extravagantly high, then I have to settle for one with a wired remote lor...

Also considering some from Sonic Gear:

Think Sonic Gear's designs are way cooler, no? =) Also saw some from Logitech, but they don't have wireless remotes, so I'm not posting them up here. Besides, pasting all the links and pictures is getting boring... and it's making my post look super long. So I shan't do that.

I'll be buying my scanner when I get my speakers too! So my room will be quite gadget complete soon... for now... Yeah!!!

Hmm... gonna go Henderson Wave later with Mellymoo!!! Hahaha! Hope we have lotsa fun and take lotsa pictures. I've never gone out on one film expedition and finished one roll of film... *pfft* At the most, I'll change rolls, and then that changed roll will have to wait till the next outing to be finished. I intend to be happy-snappy today, but hopefully the weather will be fine enough for that (i.e. no rain). Unfortunately, Cynthia (my long-lost childhood friend. Hahaha! I remember I used to call her Cyndia though) said it was raining over at Woodlands. Hopefully the rain doesn't move south... *prays*

K la, I need to go toilet. Blog again sometime soon... hopefully after I get my gadgets and my room's set up! Woohoo! Then I can start inviting ppl over to chill... with homemade ice-blended honey milk tea (you can never convince SweetTalk to make one for you), apple cider vinegar with honey (ice-blended if you want), taro ice-blended milk tea (can't get this outside either), and I've got peach syrup and mint syrup too! Might get more flavours, so yes, you can imagine the drink I can make. All complete with pearls! Yeah yeah!

Big dreams... =)

Retail Therapy!

Heys!

So it's been more than a week since I last blogged. Haha! And what have I been doing thus far? Well, spending time with my beloved of course! And packing my room... YES! Packing my ROOM!!! It hasn't been packed in like, 5 years or more! Haha! Can you believe it? Well, those who have been to my place knows it's absolutely possible. Haha!

Anyways, I've already thrown away 2 big garbage bags of rubbish. I'm hoping I just need to throw one more bag and I'm done. Discarded the old Windows 98 computer after taking out 2 4GB harddisks, emptied my table's drawers coz I'm gonna be discarding that too... now dad suddenly said his old old old old speakers can be discarded as well. Well, I'll gut them both and make it into useful shelves instead. But where the table was, I'm gonna get IKEA stuff to fill up. Gonna have a cosy corner where the window is too...

Hence, after a 2nd round of shopping today at IKEA, I bought myself a piece of black cloth, anti-slip mats for that cloth, 2 red cushions and a seat cover cushion for my old IKEA barstool. Gonna be getting shelves to place under my bed to display all the things that I've taken out of my drawers. I'm hoping I'll be able to maintain the cleaned up neated up room for some time at least. =) Oh yes, my fishtanks are gone too. Kept the smallest tank though... intending to catch a couple of scorpions to rear. Hopefully it'll be successful. =)

Anyone free to help me transport my heavy heavy shelves home some time before 27th July? Haha! Why? Coz IKEA is having a sale! Pretty big sale, if u ask me.

Oh yes, bought myself 6 fillets of unagi kabayaki from NTUC today. Damn cheap can! 3 for $8.95. Usually, 1 costs $8+ at Carrefour already. Haha! Shiok! I hope it tastes nice though... I bought them recommended by an auntie who wanted to confirm that was the price. Haha! Think she bought 6 too... =P

Ok, I'm gonna cook my prawn noodles again... Yummy!
