Movie Outing - Vexille

Another update here. Wanted to update earlier on but I was waiting for the pictures to be uploaded first. We ate at somewhere opposite Peace Centre at Dhoby Ghaut. jialingmeThe food's not bad actually. Had a simple meal with Jialing and Keefer. We chatted for a while as we update each other on our life. They said I look tired that day and spoke little. Didn't felt that way about myself though.

We finished the dinner quite early so we strolled around in Cathay for quite some time. The shops in the building always exude a high-class feel to it and the majority of people who shopped there are mostly well-dressed I feel.

keefermeHere are another round of get together pictures at the comfortable sofa seats outside the theaters... Haha.

Keefer's wearing purple too. Luckily I was wearing an additional vest otherwise it'll probably look weird walking together. Ha..darkentrio

Another of an edited photograph... The original picture had a very bright exposure. Okay, this is a bit overdone I admit...  

After our dinner, we went to Cathay Picturehouse for the movie. Due to unexpected popular demand, the seats that we are left with are the front-row ones. We took the 7.20 PM slot nevertheless. I have no idea what the movie is about only a rough idea that it's a futuristic anime film. picturehousebestI hadn't expect very much out of it but was surprised that it turned out not bad for my taste at least.

I was supposed to be working today. Fell sick and rested at home... Throat's parched. Hope the medicine will work fast...

Not a merry Christmas this year...

If the fashion theme for this year's Christmas is black and white, then I guess my mood's pretty much as colourless as that. Many small things tell a lot even if it's not said out verbally. They carry much as much impact through its subtle means. If among eating at manhatten2anything that I still want to reserve, it's probably going to be my pride.

After work, I went to meet Yvvin. I hadn't felt too surprised as I had already expected that she would be inviting a bunch of friends whom I don't know. I'm really fine with meeting new friends except not on a last minute notice when I've already set that outing for some other purpose. If I had given a more obvious black face, I guessed I probably would have lost my cool.

The photo you see here is only of a small proportion of people who showed up at Manhatten's Fish Market. The only thing I can say is the food rocks. The proportion's not so suitable for a small Asian like me though. Seems more like a couple meal size.

She wanted to go St James after dinner. Adriel persuaded me to go along too since I'm not working on Christmas itself. Well, good for us, we managed to enter. I'm not yet 21 and Adriel hasn't gotten any form of identification pass with him. Powerhouse is cool too. I like the structure of it. The music's not that bad too but as usual, the DJs will reserve the best near the coupowerhousementdown time.

For a $30 entry, we get a free package of what I so called "Make-a-lot-of-noise" pack. There's clapper, party whistle and many other things. The thing is that I don't see many using that.

Here's the photos of us adorning the party kits. The smoke that's yvvinsantahatcreated didn't irritate my eyes which is good. That's me, on the 2nd floor of Powerhouse.

Here's Yvvin and that's Adriel there smiling so happily.adrielhappy His jacket's pretty cool I think. We went in early and met Kenneth and his friends. Alvin joined us much later. Yvvin's friend seems like a frequent clubber. When he dances, he can dance well and yet set his eyes around the surrounding fast. He told me that there aren't many girls at our age there.

Maybe I really wasn't in a nice mood to celebrate to start off with. I didn't feel like dancing after 12.30 PM. Sat down and chatted with Adriel for quite some time before I've decided to leave. Don't know why but that party doesn't really matters to me. Except Yvvin and her friends, the rest were quite nice to leave with me too. I think it's too soon to leave a club at just 1.30 AM but it was enough for me.

Sometimes, things in life are really simplisiemetaxi le. On my way back home, I've managed to sort out something myself and it'll probably only going to be me who will have answers for my questions.

On Sunday, I met up with Kenneth, Joyce and Lisie. I still feel very "noob" about a lot of things. Joyce has changed quite a deal but she's still a nice lady. But I'm just shocked at how different things can change from your expectations. It's something quite personal so I shouldn't mention more about it.

DSC00455After dinner, Lisie and I watched National Treasure at Marina Square. Kenneth and Joyce had to go elsewhere. There were many things about life Lisie and I chat about. She has a very clear direction how she wants her life to be and I, very much wants to have a strong aim of what I want to do. I still can't see it yet...

After the movie, we're too late for MRT. Citylink mall looks like this... That's how I feel the pain of the rising cost of taxi fares... Haha.

Thanks Lisie, I've gotten your Christmas card through mail already! Ha.

Just Some More Updates

Met up with her. Had a rather rush dinner at Pasta Mania Cineleisure. I watch 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' without realising that she has watched it 2 times before that. I don't know if she really enjoys watching that or don't mind watching the show with me. =P I still hate Orchard Road at festive seasons period. Correction, it's pre-festive season too! I've got to squeeze through mass of people like layers of packed sardines. Even on such a cool day I can sweat a great deal. She hasn't decide what to get me for Christmas..

Andy's so nice to accompany me for my training even though it's so late at night. It's been ages since I've met anyone that sincere as a friend. =)

Yesterday, someone praised me again. I'm still so child-like in my heart. Gets excited easily over such matters... Haha.

I've thought about issues regarding seeking a pretty girl as girlfriend. I don't know why but I also tend to stereotype and believe rather strongly that 99.9% of pretty girls are arrogant, selectively friendly type of people. I was told off by a few male friends when I told them about my opinion. They said, what's fun about life if you don't try? Ha... Of course, I will want my girlfriend to have a character that will capture my heart for life.

Keefer told me that he experienced some problems with his laptop. I think the problem doesn't really lies in the specification of the laptop but more of the operating system I suppose. Maybe loading Windows XP will be the best way out for a short work-around solution?

I hope more of my colleagues can open themselves to me sooner... Or am I not sociable enough?

I'm fine...

Well... I'm slightly stressed up about my new job. On the first day, I was straight away thrown to sit beside a qualified customer consultant to listen to how he performs his job. The customers who call in aren't exactly a nice bunch of people. Whatever their attitudes are, we can only be extremely patient even though at times, it's not the company that's at fault. There's many things to learn and right now I can only be patient about it. I don't want to end up like Kelvin who had broken off his contract a week ago paying $1200 for the consequences... There's little interaction between colleagues. Only at lunch time do I get to talk a bit with some of my colleagues. I hope I'll be getting fine later on.

I haven't place an advance booking for dinner yet. I want to get a confirm schedule for the weeks ahead before I can safely ask Yvvin out. I have little confidence that I'll be able to do anything much for Christmas Eve. Everyone at the company will be aiming for that I suppose. Even for the 31st PA's Celebration I'm also uncertain about my attendance.

Twister doesn't have the haircut promotion anymore. They're pushing for the VIP card shortly. It's about $300 for one I heard. Not going to get that. It's too expensive...

Sometimes I wonder if I have placed too much trust in someone before knowing him or her that well. I don't want my vulnerability to be used against me...

Went for physiotherapy today with Thomas. The same therapist attended me today. I think she can recognise me. Haha, not that I'm trying to flirt with her though. Lol. She asks about what I'm going to do in university and things like that... Okay, anyway, the main point is that I'm glad both my strength's the same now according to her measurement and I just need to train up on my left hand's endurance. Tried doing push-ups but I still can't sustain more than a few... Pull ups are worse. Never mind. I shall persevere!

Yea, I finally got my interview appointment set on Monday, 10.30am at Haw Par Centre. Wish me luck people! It's more of a rotational shift and I can expect unusual timing with hopefully higher pay?

Cirong's having a farewell party on the 12th. Tanah Merah Coast Road, NSRCC. Unit 31. I'm helping her broadcast to other guys in the class, so please spread around. Thank you.

I think Diyana has the same problem as me. Not attending to handphone message quick enough. Often I have to wait till the next day to receive the reply. Ha... I just know from Keefer yesterday that I was supposed to burn 11 copies of the DVD video. I burned one only. So sorry... =X He also commented that I sounded like Yee Ping... Mm, I haven't notice that yet.

I ran 2 and 1/4 rounds around my neighbourhood with Andy. We took approximately 50 mins for the run. I usually don't run that distance by myself. It's too boring to run alone for 50 mins. I realised it's been too long since I did sit-ups because I'm still having crams now. Waha.. Okay, I shall discipline myself for the training regime. I sacrificed the noodles my mother was having just now. (So tempting...) I hope he's right about making a difference for the routine I'm about to follow... I'm very thankful for his help nevertheless. Ha.

Also while in the train, I saw a couple that caught my eyes. The guy is extremely obese and he has an unsightly enormous patch on one side of his cheeks. He looks very insecure and has little confidence. However, his girlfriend is pretty normal looking and is lovingly embracing him. How many of us will really be able to love someone without even looking at appearance? We touch our hearts and find the answers...
Blogging from office again.

Working's so tiring. Miss the days of freedom of just "twang"-ing at home...

Had a nice catch up session with my batch boys last Saturday. We ate at the "Chong Qing Place" at Bugis. Ser Jing had dyed his hair with prominent brown with loud yellow highlights. He has the kind of quiet personality, so I wasn't quite expect him to like that kind of style.

After the eat-out session, Kelvin, Lip Sin, Cai Cai and me went to Tanjong Pagar for a drink. It's at a pub called "Top". It's a newly opened pub. The ambience is not really that impressive but it's one with no cover charge and we can sing karaoke and drink at the same time. The picture on the right is Grace and me. We're singing duet at that time I think.

On Sunday, I had a round of badminton session with Eugene, Chan mama and Huichuan. I've never had that much of a vigorous sports after my injury. My butt totally aches... After that, we went to Sitex. It's so crowded with people as usual. I happened to see Jeremy with his friends there. He told me he had sailed onboard the LST for his exercise for 9 days and obviously didn't like it. Ha...

Somehow, I think that my character makes people want to tell me personal things which are quite private. Supposedly, it's a good thing. But when I get too close with female friends with things like that, a relationship may not be possible? Perhaps, guys and girls see platonic relationship as a very different thing.

I think I started thinking of that only after I read about my astrological sign and started to think about myself. Here's an excerpt from astrology-online.com:

"Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough to change their opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have been mistaken. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker exhortation to "Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes," and are prepared to learn from everyone.

Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor."

Keefer likes to write about sad stories. It's my first time meeting friends who actually likes to write about short stories... I think it's a rather good way of improving one's command of English? I've never a rich bank of vocabulary and strong grammar skills to start with. Haha.

Mm, I was thinking if I follow Geraldine go Malaysia... Will I miss out my job opportunity that will last me 6 months? I'm still waiting for reply, not that anything's confirmed.
