In black and white

I guess there are lots of look forward to in the coming weeks.
And the days will simply fly by.
Not that i'm complaining though.
Have been staying up late on so many nights that i am feeling burnt out.
Movies, late nights, events, coffee etc.
Even three nights of intensive sleep doesn't seem quite enough.

I have been panicking alot.
And i have got to learn how to deal with it.
I don't want to do anything anymore.
I will just let it be.
Anyhow, i don't have the time.

Lying is a necessary evil.

We ate, we drank, we watched

I have gotten excessively busy these days. All of a sudden, i've got tons of quotations to do. Before i am even done with the one on hand, i've got the next one thrown at me. When will it end. Been up to my neck with work yesterday but i suppose it makes time pass a little faster. Went to cut my hair after work and i feel like murdering my hairdresser. Got home a little past 730pm and had to rush through my dinner. I had till 8pm to finish eating and get changed before meeting desmond.

Des came by to pick me up at 830pm and we headed towards Central @ Clarke Quay. We decided to settle dinner (yes, that was my second dinner!) at Sun Moon Japanese Restaurant. The ambience was nice. We sat outside, somewhat near the riverside where we could sort of enjoy the night view. Awesome place to be at. And i tasted foie gras for the very first time. It tasted cheesy, not really my cup of tea. Ordered Chardonnay to go with our food, which i thought went well together with the wine. So we dined and whined till 11plus before we decided to get going.

Clarke Quay really is crowded on a Friday night. Lots of foreigners, lots of people dressed to the nines and all ready to party. I never knew Clarke Quay contained that much energy. I guess the array of new clubs brought in the crowd. We sourced around for a place to sit and drink -somewhere noisy enough for us to shout into each other's faces. There were such a selection of clubs and bars that we didn't know where to stop. There was Fashion Bar: some all white, diamante walkway high fashion bar. Looks really glitzy and i would have made it my selection. There was Lunar: some red hot smokin' artsy kind of club where you had to queue to get in. We settled for Yellow Jello: some bar with a cute name that plays mambo music on a friday night. Yx's gonna love it. We had two rounds of drinks while listening to the band play, watching people dance and just fooling around on our own. It was real entertaining to see the older people dance. The ang moh guy who kept doing the boogie and the indian man who danced like he was in a Bollywood movie. Des and i couldn't stop laughing. I guess we were pretty much contented to just sit in our corner drinking and gossipping.

The crowd only started filing in at 2am and i thought working people didn't have a life. It wasn't until 3am that we decided to head home. I was beat by then. 2 glasses of margaritas and 1 glass of wine was good enough to put me to sleep. I'm hoping to survive on 3 hours of sleep today.

From the pouring rain

It's still pouring out there.
Got a little drenched earlier on while trying to get indoors.
Bathed and changed,
I feel warm and safe under my covers now.
Would be better if i had a cup of hot tea.
I'm aching badly all over and need a good rest really.
But my hair's still wet.
I'm still deciding if i should pop by VDL tomorrow.

A picture of you

Was able to spare a long lunch yesterday before my meeting at VDL.
So i had lunch with vincent in NUS.
And it felt good to be back in school again.
The environment didn't change but the food did.
I tried to order crispy chicken steak at the western food store and was told that they don't sell it anymore.
The auntie told me to look at the price list: The item is not available if there isn't a price stated.
True enough, there wasn't any price for it.
Damn.
I felt so dumb.
I bet the girls behind were giggling at my silliness.
So i settled for chicken cutlet all fries.
And i told the aunty i wanted to add mash potato.
Only to be told again that they don't sell mash potato anymore.
Double embarrassment.

I acquired a new name yesterday: Cutlet all fries.
Vincent makes me want to murder him sometimes.
He asked me while i was planting ketchup onto our plates: "你叫什么？"
Which i took it to be: What did you order.
So i replied: "Cutlet all fries."
And he stuck his hand out for a handshake, saying: "我叫Vincent"
From then, i had numerous people messaging me saying: "Hello, cutlet all fries"
Haha.
Brilliant.
But lunch was still good anyway.

Trooped down to VDL for my meeting at 2pm.
Stayed on till 530pm and went straight to school for training.
I can't wait for the robot training.
5 full days. ABB. Wilhelm.
Something to look forward to.

Training was good yesterday.
I love having san around.
Feel alot more motivated when she's climbing with me.
It's just that effect she has on me.
Hahah.
Did boulder circuits and then free climb.
I think i climbed hard though.

Didn't managed to sleep well last night.
I hope i'll get a fitful sleep tonight.

And i like the way things are between us now because i can pour my heart out to you.

Even just for a day

I love Sundays because:
You'll get to sleep in later
Get woken up to have breakfast with family
Go on fun family outings
Catch up on the lastest family happenings
Indulge in senseless talk
Go to Ikea right after lunch and order 15 meatballs, 6 chicken wings, fries and cake
Share the loot with your greedy sister and cousin
And not feel guilty for stuffing yourself
Do some intense shopping with the girls
Go on a driving adventure with your cousin at the wheel
Meet two equally crazy friends for dinner
Burn out mouths with super spicy noodles
Splurge on coffee and cakes at Starbucks
And chill with funny conversations till it's time to go home.
