Post peak bash and Sentosa

Attended the company post-peak bash at St James Power Station on Fri night. its my third time there, and i still dun like it. I had contemplated whether to go anot, cos i din really like St James in the first place and i din wanna club. But I decided to go cos my run people (a lot of them whom I havent seen for ages) will be there and i thought i might catch some scandal within the company, hahahaha.

The night turned out to be boring, as expected. Half of my run went off at 10+ to go play board games at some eastern part of Singapore, which i din go cos, first, it was far away from my house, and second, i dun play boardgames after 10pm cos my brain is not really working anymore. So i stayed at st james and people-watch.

Caught some dirty dancing of a fellow colleague and her ex-boyfriend, and a drunkened girl crying outside the toilet at one point and laughing on the dancefloor half an hour later. Its really weird to see seniors shaking themeselves to the music, lost in their world, when u normally see them very serious at work. Maybe music and free booze is their avenue of releasing stress ba. At around12+, a few run mates and I decided we should leave and while waiting outside for everyone to gather, we witnessed some interesting scenes. We saw a senior got carried out of the club by a group of other seniors, serious looks on their faces and a manager drove in a car to send her off. That woman must be real drunk cos she was almost unconscious. Then another was this girl who kept shouting at other people. I think she does that everytime she drinks cos the last bash at Thumper, she did the same thing. And she will start screaming and kicking the guys around her, DAMN FUNNY I TELL U.

Crazy things people do when they are drunk.

Ya, so after we left St James, we went for supper at the 24-hour Mr Teh Tarik Cartel at Tiong Bahru Plaza (which is near my house, yea!), chatted till 2+ then went home. Oh man... prata, roti john, mutton briyani and mee siam at 2am!

I love my weekends with the girls~!

Actually i expected sentosa to be cancelled becos ning and i had company bash and din confirm the plans with the other girls. But~~~~~~~ saw ning online at 8+ in the morning and we decided to head down to sentosa afterall. Spent the first half of the day lazing at palawan beach and fell asleep on the suntanning deck... (i was sheltered and had sunblock on cos i din wanna get tanned. quan, i din tan! $10 pls!).






And then i had sushi tei for dinner~~~!! Yes, i can have jap food everyday, haha. Wanted to catch Harold and Kumar but tickets were sold out, so we went Liquid Kitchen to watch Man U vs Chelsea. Havent watch soccer match in a long time and i had a great time! though Man U lost. I wanna watch more soccer games! I dun know how to analyse the games or remember the names of every soccer player in the teams. Nor am i updated about the soccer scene now. But i just love to watch the game.. and i wanna play! i miss playing soccer! but i must get my boots first.

Bubbly

I've been awake for a while now
You've got me feelin' like a child now
'Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglees in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

The rain is fallin' on my window pane
But we are hidin' in a safer place
Under the covers stayin' safe and warm
You give me feelings that I adore

They start in my toes
Make me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

What am I gonna say
When you make me feel this way?
I just, mmm

It starts in my toes
Makes me crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes
I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I've been asleep for a while now
You tucked me in just like a child now
'Cause every time you hold me in your arms
I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth

It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feelin' shows
'Cause you make me smile
Baby just take your time now
Holdin' me tight

Wherever, wherever, where ever you go
Wherever, wherever, where ever you go

me

i know this blog skin is like the most basic one anyone can have.
but thats just me, cos i like simplicity.

you may find that some words i use doesnt sound quite right, whether its wrong usage or inappropriate. but to me, they have expressed the way i feel and i m sure frens got my meaning.

so who cares?

i m just happy to do things the way i like it,

and to spend time with my dearest girls every weekend,

and talk to quan every morning during working hours.

Though there are many things i really really wanna learn but havent gone about doing it, i should really start soon!

i wanna learn diving, though i cant swim.
i wanna take a barista course.
i wanna learn japanese.
i wanna take up professional baking.
and the list goes on and on.....

Plane rides

During a flight, do you choose
1) the window seat for its view, or
2) the seat beside the aisle for convenience?












Music

Music does a far bit to keep my spirits up.

Its the best cure to boredom, work stress and foul mood.

Love like this

Oh…Never find a love like this
Oh…Never find a love like this
We go back so far,
swinging in your back yard,
all the things that we used to do
We were cool back in high school
ooh I really liked you,
must have been your attitude.

[Chorus:]
That's why you keep on running
in and out of my mind.
As the years they'll roll by,
Baby, now I know why
I keep coming back to you.
You're the only one that knows me,
love it when you hold me,
never find a love like this
Let me hear you say
now I'll never be lonely,
look at what you've shown me,
never find a love like this

Well this life tried to keep us apart
you keep calling me back to your heart
Let me hear you say
I'm so glad you found me,
wrap your world around me,
never find a love like this.

All the guys tried to take me,
you're the one who saved me,
I feel like I owe you my life.
And as strange as it may seem,
I'll go if you take me
I'm willing to sacrifice.

[Chorus]

'cause this life tried to keep us apart,
you keep calling me back to your heart.
Let me hear you say,
aren't you glad you found me,
wrap you all around me,
never find a love like this.

May never find a love,
love, love a love like this,
that still make me think
about my middle school kiss.
I sit here in this chair
and I wish for you
not to leave me now.
My friends they always told me
not to make you my wife,
man they was putting you down.
And now they see we rolling,
me and you, we strolling,
they don't wanna come around.
never find a love like this.

New York New York (City)

After 1.5 months in USA -->Messy messy luggage bag


Typical deli cafe

to the fast pace in new york



Grand Central train station

New York Metropolitan Museum of Art

Central Park

Often seen in Hollywood movies.

Outdoor musical concert


Horse carriage. But I still like the ones in Denver, cos the horses are much bigger and prettier!


Financial District - Wall street
The charging bull of wall street - The symbol of strength, power, and hope, given to the American people after the memory of Black Monday (Oct 19, 1987, the day Dow Jones index recorded the largest loss in history, comparable to the analogous landslide that led to the Great Depression the same month 48 years earlier). Rumour has it that if you rub it's testicles you will have good luck in the stock market!!

Battery Park/ Liberty Island/Ellis Island


Statue of Liberty: A gift from the French government for the 100th birthday of America's Independence.





Streets of New York

Lots of bill boards, huge screens and yellow cabs on the road
Gay Pride Parade!
Empire State Building
The tallest building in New York City since the 911 incident destroyed the Twin Towers. The Empire State Building was also once the tallest skyscraper in the world upon its completion in the early 1930s.
View from the 86th floor observatory:
As you watch the sun set before your eyes...








Broadway
Watch a musical.
The Lion King:


Rockefeller Centre
A city within a city - 19 office and commercial buildings covering 11 acres in midtown Manhattan. Home to the NBC (television) Radio City Music Hall, and Christie's Auction house. In addition, it also is home to the Rockefeller Plaza which has the famous ice skating rink in the winter and of course the huge Christmas tree during Christmas.




New York Subway~


St Patrick's Cathedral



New York from my point of view:
Expect to see many many buildings. You will realise that its major attractions are all man-made, architectural works - Empire State Building, Rockeller Centre, Chrysler Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, etc etc.
Expect to eat lots of burgers, philly sandwiches (beef) and hotdogs. International cuisine is much more expensive, and cheap ones are not nice.
People on the streets of Manhattan generally dress up more and look more sophisticated and professional.
An eye-opener but not a great place to stay for long on a leisure holiday.
