Life is a bitch, so we should be bitchier;

It has been quite some time since I had a really eventful weekend.

Sunday was IT fair day. It was some time since the last time I went to the IT fair actually with the intention of getting something. Well, not exactly me who was buying, it was my uncle but it comes down to the same thing. So, he bought a desktop under a rather small budget of $800, with no help from me of course. My way of buying things is "Woah so pretty! Woah so cheap for the prettiness. Buy!" In the end, it was the bf who can effectively work around the budget and get something relatively good for the price.

Commenting on the crowd at Suntec, it was madness. To make matters worse, it started pouring in the afternoon! Everyone just cramped themselves inside the building, obstructing every possible route to anywhere. I can only say thankfully my aunty has the foresight to take a bus from Dhoby Ghaut, if not we will be one of those who gets stuck in Citylink as the shutter shuts on the people going to Suntec from that way.

Saturday makes me feel that I really do not have enough time. How was I supposed to meet cw and gang for birthday celebration lunch at Changi Village Hotel then go meet lh and the rest for dinner and movie and mahjong after that? But being the super-woman I am, I managed to do that! And even made it for IT fair the next day :)

Some time since I last uploaded photos and added some colour and images to my blog. Some photos here. I've chosen the best few so as not to tarnish their reputation of "allowing diners to feel one with nature; overlooking lush greenery". Anyway, their selection of buffet dishes were rather limited and not exactly very appetizing. And it is not very often that people finish all the dishes from the buffet but I suspect we actually did. Let's just say that I will most probably not go back again for the buffet.

The birthday boy! I didn't stop him from eating his chicken wing, it was cw.

His birthday card that was partially ruined by jy as he used something from a cake to represent his signature. See something brownish at the bottom right place on the fence?

So, on Friday I went to a show. I am tempted to call it a play but it is not exactly one. More of a one-man show. Comedy.

This year marks a difference in my choice of shows to attend. Previously there was Breakout which was a dance comedy. Now there is Defending the Caveman which is also a comedy and a one-man show at that. And before I forget, there was Avenue Q too which was more like a satire than a comedy but still funny. As compared to the shows that I used to go to like Phantom of the Opera and The Forbidden City (to name a few), I guess the genre is kinda different.

Oh, and it marks me going back to the DBS Arts Centre after 4 years and the last time I was there, it was for a children show in which I wrote a report review on. Right, I know that it is not exactly the best material to use as a report that will be graded but hey, there was nothing else at that season (or more like we missed the shows that season) and me and a friend had not much choices.

Anyway, the theme of Defending the Caveman is a rather interesting and prevalent one. Like the relations between men and women and how they relate to different things differently. It is kind of hard to go into details of what the actor said but the idea was that since everyone originated from the cavemen times (so to speak), whatever men and women are today is just an evolution of their instincts and jobs in the past.

In the past, the men hunted therefore they had to be focussed on only ONE task and do it good. The women were then gatherers who had to be aware of their surroundings all the time and bring home all the different fruits or vegetables that they can find, in a group. So, this basis segregation of tasks served as a~~n excuse~~ reason why men can't multi-task and why women likes to do shopping and gather around in groups. Well, I guess there is some stand to this reasoning but hey, I found out that I identified with the men's traits more than the women's. Except the multi-tasking part of course.

I throw my things around the house, though I sort of know where I threw them. I sometimes throw my wet towel on the bed and forget to bring it back to the bathroom and would get an earful from my mum. I sort of negotiate my way of situations so that I can do the bare minimum. I hate shopping. So, with all these traits of mine, I hereby suspect that the bf is gay. :)
