Johnny Nash

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright
Sun-Shiny day.

Spectacles today, perfect vision tomorrow.

The 3 Letters

The only pink thing that I declare my love for.

Oh baby it came back to my arms today.

ORD LOH!

Moleskin

I’m really determined to get a notebook/planner for next year! Imma be all organised and ready for my work and school appointments =D

Got my eyes set on this one.

I think only Kinokuniya sells this though.

Got it at Times for $35, so pricey.

The Bun Story

I think i got to post this here just so that i can read this a few months/years later down the road and laugh.

My house is undergoing some toilet upgrading and life upgrading at the same time now. As such they brought a portable toilet to my kitchen and screwed my toilet all over, literally. Somebody has to be at home all the time because the Banglas will come in and out to do the renovation. I shall try to upload my super cool 0.5 sq meter toilet if im bored enough to take a picture of it.

The Loo

Anyway point is, I needed to pee and my parents were out. I couldn’t leave the house and I couldn’t pee in the portable toilet because the workers were working in the real toilet so they took out the drainage pipe. (Meaning if i were to pee it would just flow onto my kitchen floor.) I REALLY needed to pee so i saw the bun on the table wrapped in a plastic bag! You guessed it (or not). I ate the sausage bun so I could pee into the plastic bag.

Ah, the relief.

Ok, I know this might have sounded disgusting but hey, you learn to appreciate how wonderful a toilet is.

Why are the gods crying…

Please stop.

Haruki Murakami – Dance Dance Dance

Two Murakami books in a row is slightly overkill. There is only so much surreal novels I can read back to back. Dance Dance Dance is about a man and his connections with an old/new hotel and how he goes around to redeem his life, together with a weird ensemble of characters that are linked to the estranged narrator. Again, this book doesn’t end with an ending. I should have expected it.

I love this life

The past few days had been so eventful i’m exhausted, but in a good way. Let’s start with

Thursday – I finally had my Quiznos Sub at Orchard Central with Michelle. We had the zesty grill steak which is supposedly the most delicious of all. Not bad, better than subway but more expensive as well. We did the orchard road stroll from Orchard Central to Ion Orchard where we bought the nicest takoyaki you can find in Singapore. It’s at the basement 4 and it’s called Gindako. You won’t miss it the queue’s super long. Walked back again to take a look at Cuppage Terrace since I’ve never been there before. Just watering holes there nothing much.

 

Rooftop Garden at Orchard Central

Friday – I went for an interview with the Recruit Express in the morning and let’s just say i ended up folding a lot of letters and envelopes for the rest of the day. At least i learnt something about what-the-hell is a franked mail today. Oh and the views from the UOB Plaza and Temasek Tower is awesome.

In the evening I had the most awesome picnic ever at the Marina Barrage! Firstly, i never really had picnics for god knows how long. Secondly, I never had a picnic at night before! The weather was ominous for the large part of the day but good weather withstood =)

Michelle made legen-waitforit-dary foccacia sandwich with apple ham and cheese and lettuce, toasted some more! We also got sushi and yogurt and red wine. Beautiful and enjoyable night it was.

Marina Bridge

Saturday – Is the day for Sentosa island life. Super lot of people there because there’s the Singapore Open going on. Played beach volleyball for a few hours and then went to Clement’s condo and play water polo until we got chased away. Dinner at Manhill Restaurant near Pasir Panjang. The taxi driver (and all of us) heard wrongly and thought it was Man-U Restaurant and he said he’s a Man-U fan too -__-

Later on they came to my place to watch soccer, sang at Teo Heng, supper at Blk 85 (yes it’s opened already) and watched more soccer. Their maiden ride on my car after so many months and I had to park a parallel lot. The bane of all P plate drivers.

Sunday – I watched Twilight on DVD and it’s nicer than i thought it would be. Better than Let The Right One In which was some Swedish vampire love story. Sorry Woen Cheng i just didn’t get it.

Twilight

Next week would be another hardcore week. I have to quote PQ TAN again, “The world is divided into 3 groups of people. Those who ORD on Friday, those who ORD the next week, and the rest who are regulars.”  Oh, words of wisdom.

It’s coming it’s coming~

Weezers – Pork and Beans

This is my FAVORITE video now. It’s a collection of all the internet/youtube memes made into 1 awesome song!!!

I eat my candy with the PORK AND BEANS!

Too many allusions that i can’t even name all of them. Got to watch this video if you’re a youtube whore.

I can’t get sick of watching this video!

Gay Slumber Party

Cephas’ uncle and his partner went to Italy for their holiday and so we were invited for a stay over at their bachelor pad. Firstly, there were 2 HUGE smelly golden retrievers that have no names. They are so strong even their wagging tails seem powerful when it brushed hit against my leg. Really made me think twice on keeping golden retrievers. They drop so much hair all over the place that i dunno whether it’s the carpet or their fur i’m sitting on.

The apartment was super decorated with a hell lot of latest IT stuff and equipped with bottles and bottles of alcohol. Surprisingly we drank very little, a bottle of champagne and a little tequila. Watched Run Fatboy Run halfway before the DVD died on us and then we went to the pool for a dip. Oh wait, i MUST mention that their gigantic LED FULL HD TV is the clearest shit i have ever seen in my life. It’s like watching HBO while half the time we are in awe at how abnormally clear the screen is. Oh yeah and it costs $8k I heard.

I love how chill that place is – standing outside on the corridor in trunks and shorts and drinking tequila and doing whatever else we can to stay warm after swimming. I know how gay it sounds, but it must be the aura of that house. Sleeping was also a scary experience. As quoted by PQ TAN, “This might not be the first time 4 guys have slept on this same bed.”

Lovely.
