become a habit.

what a weekend!

with the great singapore sale &
the singapore food festival all wrapping up in 1 weekend,
i decided to start my saturday early!

got up at 9:48am and left the house in 20mins.
i know, right!
getting ready and leaving the house in 20mins is nothing but...
who wakes up before lunch?!!
all this was because i wanted to catch DESPICABLE Me before lunch.
but apparently there are people who wake up early to go to the movies?!!
so imagine my surprise... no tickets!
how dare they!

not wanting get all worked up, i went early shopping.
it was strange walking into boutiques and stores where you are the only one wandering thru the racks and shelves.
but i have to say, SERVICE in the morning is GOOD.
they must really be happy to serve u or had their morning coffee, strong.

shopping on the weekend, you get to see people dressed in their "best".
guys especially.
they make so much effort to dress... well... stylish... try la.
of course it doesn't work... but i must give them "A" for...
still thinking... ahh...

one was spotted wearing black cropped shorts, white shirt, big bag and... BOOTS!
the best part was when he was walking up the steps into the mall,
the hand went straight into the pocket, just like on a Runway.

another two friends looked like they had the day of from the salon.
dressed impeccably, they really looked the part.
electric blue shorts, stripped shirt, formal white dress shoe and hairy legs.
the other, skinny capri pants, long sleeved shirt and black loafers.
all 2 sizes too small for a guy who was 5''1 with a waist of 32''-33''.
hair in place, of course.

then there was another, shopping with the family at isetan supermarket.
black zegna jeans, white gucci sneakers & belt and TOPMAN shirt.
he was about 16.
17 the most.

well, in the end i did get to watch a movie.
had great lunch and dinner.
and shop a bit.

so waking up before lunch on a saturday wasn't that bad.
just hope it doesn't become a habit.

seriously... TV?

seriously... TV?

i love watching TV.
trust me when i say LOVE.
my friends know NOT to call me while i watch the telly.
i AM dead to the world even during the commercial break.

so it does bother me when i watch STUPID & Friends on TV.

the News on 5 is one.
i know its hard to condense what's happening in Singapore
and around the world in 30mins.
but giving bite size information in not NEWS!
you can't have the anchor just HIGHLIGHT headlines and call it News.
and since when do reporters ACT?
don't we have that on The NOOSE already?

what about commercials with MediaCorp actors in them?
don't they act enough already?
now they have to sell products they pretend to like or use?
strangely enough, their voices are dubbed.
Mm... maybe Jack Neo should do a new movie where the actors act as real actors to act like they don't act enough and call it...
MONEY NOT ENOUGH ACTUALLY!!!

what about that donkey on a parachute to promote tourism Mexico or something?
that's an Ad that made News .
wow. a 2 in 1!

all this AND more on local TV.

maybe i should just get out more.

ready?

i love to sing but many would not like that.
as much as i think i have the voice of an angel,
others disagree... swines.

but isn't singing the best.
no matter how you are feeling, there's always a song for you.
and if there isn't then you can just make one up!

i sing all the time.
at home. in bed. in the bus. train. walking down in town. in a club.
most of all, in church.
its the best time to sing and sing out loud!
cos in church noone is judging.
specially not God.
He likes my singing.
and because He likes it, i wanna share it with the world!

ready?

hair flyin everywhere.
curse at everyone.
and this is from the people screaming from the other blocks!!!

hope when they come back for 2nd half they play better.
someone needs to score.
and why are the managers wearing suites on the field?
isn't it like hot in south africa?

2nd Half.
oh... they changed sides. so confusing.
a lot of slow motion shots. doesn't that like prolong the game?

2 players slide of the field.
and another save by netherlands!
netherlands is good.
but too much orange, if u asked me.

Oh... mcdonald's is a sponsor?

spain missed again!!!
and it was SO good and so close!

27mins to go.
0-0

wonder if shakira is watching?

the bald referee loves giving out yellow card.
but the blue jersey suits him.
he gives another free kick.
i bet he's getting the most workout here.

another great save by spain!!!
and that long hair guy is finally wearing a hairband.
swap players.
Ooo... tattoo.

free kick to spain @ 17mins left.
disappointing as usual.

FIGHT!!!
black pushed orange!!!
not cool.

free kick no.33
and a goal is needed.
another free kick.

with 10seconds left with 3mins added.
spain is getting desperate!
0-0

EXTRA TIME!
ahh... what happens if still no goal at the end of the extra 30mins?

a pile of bodies at the netherlands goal post!!!
so much attention to one ball.
wow! another goal foiled by netherlands goal keeper!
well played!
i have to say the netherlands are playing really well.
didn't think they would, really.

side throw.
heading.
and.... SAVE!

i have never raised my arms so many times just at watching any sport.
i'm getting tired.

tackle. side to side. killing time if you ask me.

OMG.
there's a half time during Extra Time!?!
maybe they need fries and shakes.

and they're back.

1st RED Card to netherlands!
spain gets a much need free kick!
21metres to goal and... miss.

the claws are coming out...
trip. fall. faint. anything for a free kick.

think the balding guy in orange jersey no.11 is stupid.

the boys line up in front of the goal post covering their crotch.

SPAIN SCORED!!

apple and me

a lot can happen in a year.
you can take a short course.
fix your teeth.
have a baby.
pay off your credit card bill.
learn to drive.
buy a house.
change jobs and plan a wedding, honeymoon included.

i just went techie.
you see, i didn't do any of the above that i mentioned.
i just went techie.

a year ago i thought i wanted to have my voice heard, online.
so i started this blog, where i can just say about whatever i wanted.
then my manager decided to start a facebook account for me.
much to my surprise, facebook is so fun!
of course all this was going on when i didn't even have a computer.
so, i got myself my 1st computer, the HP Mini. i love my Mini.
next was my iPhone and iTunes. OMG.
technology was starting to become my friend.
slowly i started getting into MSN, Skype & Twitter.
and even began having online profiles.
google has been good to me.
today, i even have my own website which i co created.

my latest addition would have to be... drumroll...
MY 1ST EVER MAC!!!

i know right!
MAC!?! Me?!!? MAC!!!
its beautiful...
like the sunset...
like the last raindrop...
like the morning sun hitting your face...
like... u get the picture!
huh? what? oh... it's called a MacBook. white. snow leopard something...
its APPLE la!
a new toy for me and that's all i care about.
with my new MAC, i discovered Apple.com.
they have the new Wifi 3G iPad
and, wait... wait... www.ME.com!!!
its a website that stores everything you'd need online for you to retrieve whenever you want or need while syncing all information on your MAC, iPhone, iTouch, iPad and iWhateverElse!
amazing. i know!

Apple has a new friend. Me.
soon they will produce a new line called Apple&Me.

a lot can happen in a year.
i became a techie.

what do you see?

its july.
the 1st half of 2010 is now officially gone.
so what have you done so far?

most people grow up, move on, change, go into adulthood
and life as the years go by.
year after year, they progress gradually,
taking everything that happens around them, or to them,
as part of life. their life.
that's fair enough for them.

but me... as usual, i tend to take a different approach.
i take each year individually.
one year at a time.

its like making new year resolutions and see if i stick to them
or make new ones along the way.
then at the end of the year i look back and see what i have achieved, or not.
it is my year after all.

for example, last year i wanted to make contacts and connections.
which, i did.
so this year i wanted to established those contacts and connections
and see what i can do with them. like a business strategy.
so far... its been slow, i have to admit.
what do i do?
well, there's this weird saying that goes,
"what do u see when u have a glass half filled?
is it half full or half empty?"
my answer,''its half a glass!"
whatever happened to the 1st half, i don't know/ i don't care!
all i know is that there is half a glass left for me to enjoy.

that's what i see when i look at what's left of 2010.
what do you see?
