Life is a bitch, so we should be bitchier;

For some reason, my camera battery charger has been refusing to charge my batteries, I guess that is a pretty valid excuse for no photos right?

I seem to have quite a lot of stuff to blog about but have been procrastinating till this week. It is the DS's fault I tell you. It is the stupid Ace Attorney game and I am determined to finish playing ALL the installments, thus resulting in slight delays in blog updates.

Let me do a recap of last week's activities.

Last Wednesday I finally went shopping because of a sudden urge to shop from the previous night. Went to Bugis Junction and man, did I buy like nobody's business. I bought 2 dresses, 1 skirt, 2 pairs of earrings and 1 necklace amounting to about $200+. But it's ok, because I'm happy with my purchases. I love the dresses. As my camera can't really function without the batteries now, I can only try to find the images of the spoils on the web. Could only find 1 though.

This really pretty dress from Dorothy Perkins. It is so layer-y and I felt like a birthday cake when I was wearing it. And its patterned! So pretty and nice. I think I will look damn cute in this la. And to think that when I took this piece off the rack, the bf was saying that it looks like something his grandma would wear. Hrumph! Dunno who was the one who was vehemently nodding his head when I tried this on!

One of the other pieces that I didn't manage to find the images were another dress from Dorothy Perkins. It was blue and kind of hard to describe. The skirt that I bought was from a small store in Bugis Junction and was a high-waisted one. And it is printed too. I just have this thing for prints.

Then on Thursday, there was an exam meeting so I was dressed more formally, looking more like a working person. I went through the entire day as per normal, until I was on my way home. The thing is at AMK Hub, there is a Prudential booth near the interchange area and there are always financial planners who are loitering around, ready to pounce on someone. All along, I have been relatively ignored by them but it was not to be on that day. Now I know, I can pass off as a student as long as I do not dress myself in office wear.

Anyway, I was caught that day just because I was in a blouse, workpants and heels. But I was in a rather nice mood that day so I allowed him to talk to me and try to sell his ideas to me. Didn't work very well though. I think I managed to exasperate him pretty bad. For those who knows me pretty well, you know that I don't plan. I don't care about this in the future. For all I know, I could walk out of the office tomorrow and be hit by a meteorite. So at this point of my life, I really don't see the need to plan and save my money yet.

Apparently he didn't share my point of view la. He was super exasperated when I try to explain to him that I rather have the money with me now so that I have the freedom to buy anything I want, anytime. So he changed his tactic from trying to reason with me to trying to make me feel inferior, sort of. He said, "Imagine you look at your friends all having the financial power to buy things they want but you are very poor..." I wanted to retort him and said that I am not that poor, thank you very much, but I kept that comment to myself. Then he tried again and said what if something happened to me tomorrow and will need lots of medical fees, would I want to use my 'old' parents' hard-earned money?!? How could I be so unfilial?? (Ok, the last part was implied by me.) Nope, I don't care and if something happens to me tomorrow, what makes him think that by investing my money with him for awhile, I would accumulate enough money to cover ALL my expenses? Come on, I'm not really that naive. Well, I think it didn't really work out. He didn't understand where I was coming from and I didn't agree with his logic. And we parted rather amiably, I hope. He may have gone back to his colleagues and bitched about me, saying that I am just a stupid girl who don't know how to think for herself and her future. Yeah, whatever.

Shit, this is getting to be a super long post and I am only half-done. Bleah. I shall break this up into 2 posts and backdate this. :) The weekend stuff will be on next post.

Before I forget, let me just update a few things. I initially had 3 things to update but I forgot the third one, so I am now left with 2 items.

First, I have been away from the office from last Friday to this Monday, only coming back yesterday. Last Friday, I went to the crocs sale at Expo. As I went in the daytime, there was no horrible queue that I saw the last time I happened to be there. But by the time I left, which was about 6 or so, the queue to get in was starting to form already.

Anyway, that is just a background to what I wanted to update. After leaving Expo, we took the train down to City Hall station and planned to go to the Asian Civilisation Museum which is having a Kangxi Imperial Treasures exhibition now till mid-June. I had wanted to catch this exhibition before it leaves. So, by the time we reached ACM, it was about 7 plus, going to 8 I think. When I got in and saw that they had changed some exhibits and stuff, I proceeded to work through the whole museum again. By the time I reached the Kangxi exhibition, it was about 8 plus. Soon after, the staff of the museum chased us out because they were closing at 9. And I wasn't even half done! Left with no choice, we left the museum. But I set my mind to complete my visit the next day.

Come Saturday, I met the bf at about 7 and we happily sauntered down to ACM, stopping for ice-cream and food along the way too. By the time we reached ACM, it was only 7 plus and we thought we will definitely finish exploring the museum this time! Alas, when I walked past the board indicating their opening hours, I almost fainted. They close at 7pm everyday other than Friday, which they close at 9pm.

The museum is cursed! Or rather, I am cursed by the museum! How many people actually go to the same museum on 2 consecutive days and didn't manage to achieve the simple goal of finishing exploring the museum. :(

Ok, I found that my 1 complaint is too long for my 2nd musing to be in the same post. Will say something again in next posts.

So, my blog was down for a few days because the creator of the template has exceeded his/her bandwidth and I wasn't in the mood to do something about it until today.
Well, it was quite an easy problem to solve actually but it just all boils down to laziness.

Hmm, I have been away from this blog for so so long that it has been severely neglected. Just a rundown on events from the previous weeks when I had gone 'missing'.

I went for the Korean comedy dance-show "Breakout" on its last night of show and its a totally different genre of performance from those that I usually go to. I usually either go for plays, concerts or musicals but this is a totally different experience. And that being a comedy makes it even more different. Anyway, the plot and the actors made the whole experience really fun and interesting and I was laughing away most of time, as with all others in the Esplanade Theatre. So, I went with my sister, aunt and my cousin and my aunt and cousin was like totally fascinated by the whole venue and the performance. According to my aunt, he was already gesturing around in the bus, trying to imitate those performers and their dance moves from the show. He even told my aunt to bring him if they were going to have a sequel.

Moving on, we finally had a belated birthday dinner with kutu and gang. We had initially decided to go to Little India nearby for the French food but when we reached the place, alas it was closed on Mondays!! Having no choice, alternate dining option was at Mohammad Sultan.

So our initial plan of going to Mustafa to buy a garland for kutu was foiled as we didn't even got near to Mustafa! And we got the silly woman a gift, which I think was extremely useless, and she loves it to bits. No prize for guessing but it was some Hello Kitty thingy that didn't exactly cost cheap. And I think her birthday resolution was to turn me into a Hello Kitty fan just like herself, mx and pr. I will NEVER succumb to such nonsensical pressure!! NEVER! Especially not from kutu who will not turn against my wishes, for fear of losing my love. Heh!

Next! (Bear with me as I am trying to cram 3 weeks worth of activities into 1 post. You are free to leave if you think I am getting too long-winded ;))

On Friday, I attended a conference conducted by the Tax Academy of Singapore talking about the recent changes in Budget 2009. After that conference, which I ~~fell asleep~~ got a little distracted by Zhou Gong, I seriously wonder how people sit through all these and emerge fully awake and attest to having paid attention to everything! On the other hand, it made me even more aware of the fact that an Arts student should not try to understand Business, more so Tax. Haha.

Well, at least something redeeming happened at night. 2 of the academic colleagues gave a treat at Pearl River Restaurant at Suntec for their promotion. So, the whole office of 25 trooped down to Suntec for dinner after work. It was ala carte buffet and I'm sure all the big eaters in my school were very very happily eating to their hearts' content.

Just as I thought that, hey I got a free dinner, I fell sick subsequently. -_-"
Not exactly a very good way to enjoy my weekend. After the dinner, I got a sore throat, Saturday the runny nose came visiting and on Sunday I was sneezing away. So, I got an MC on Monday. BUT, although I was on MC, somehow there were still so many things for me to do. On that day itself, I went to renew my passport at the post office, went to the bank to close an account and went to another bank to deposit the money then went back home to see my sister studying in the kitchen.

Oh, digressing a little here. The sister has taken to studying in the kitchen as she claims that it was very quiet and no distractions (except from food I guess). So whenever my mum wants to go into the kitchen, she just sort of tip-toe into the kitchen and creep out silently.

Back to me being sick. Despite having a MC for Monday, I still had to go back to work on Tuesday, still sniffling away and feeling miserable. I was telling my colleagues in the office that I was back to spread the germs. I want to make everyone suffer together with me! Muahahaha. And I did sort of manage to spread it to someone! My neighbour! Around Thursday, he said he felt feverish and sick and when he went back to measure his temperature, he was running a fever. Heh. Someone to feel as miserable as me!

Okok, I think patience is running low but hey, the patient bird gets the worm right? :)

Last of the update post, Saturday UniSIM Open House.

Well, we were rostered for duties on Saturday for the open house. So basically, we had to stand around our individual schools' booth and try to sell our programmes, so to speak. I was telling some of my colleagues that we must take on the surname of "Wang" on that day itself because we had to 老王卖瓜.

Anyway, we had to tell potential students more about our programmes and ~~con~~ persuade them to come join us in UniSIM. We are one big happy family!

So, after talking to students for one whole day, I found out that I really quite enjoy such jobs. Interacting and talking to people on an ad-hoc basis and more of talking nonsense to them. Although it is really quite tiring and the programme briefing that I was in-charge of had an overwhelming number of people surging into the LT and me trying to entertain everyone of them, while feeling really really warm and wishing that I had 8 tentacles just like an octopus.

With all that over, me, cw and jy happily went to Carrefour for their Midnight Sale. So in the end, I came back with a new TV-plug-in console game with 30 in-built games and 2 packets of bacon., because my sister promised to cook bacon for me as long as I buy it. :)

This is an absurdly long post and I am not aspiring to be one of those who update their blog regularly but with mundane things, like what they did everyday. So, this is it.
