doggie vs swan

was at the botanical gardens today. i was at my final stop at the swan lake, feeding the swans and the two white swans took turns biting on both my shoes. hahaha. later, a maltese dog came along and it seemed interested in the swan. the swan too took notice of the maltese. with the maltese perching pecariously at the edge, the swan moved in and attempted to take a snap at the maltese! the maltese pulled back just in time, much to the laughter of the visitors who were around then. apparently the maltese did not learn its lesson and moved towards the edge again and the swan once again moved in to take another bite and once again the maltese pulled back in time. hahahaha.

Wonderful Company, Wonderful Show!

The play was great and I throughly enjoyed myself. Also, the company was great. Went with a friend to watch the play and we both laughed at certain segments of the play where local flavors were added in. Hahahaha. Want to find out what local flavors? Go catch the play. It is really worth the money.

Back To Fort Canning!

Going to be heading to Fort Canning later today for the Midsummer's Night Dream play. Michael, my vocal studies lecturer, is in the play, as Flute/Thisby, and I am thinking of going to give him some support. Also, to get some out time from home.

Happy Belated 25 Celest!

Once again, work has caused me to nearly forget the birthday of a friend. This time round it is Celest's turn. If my memory serves me right, and my guessing (due to Celest's refusal to confirm the date), I think her birthday was on Thursday. Heez. Happy Belated Birthday Celest!

unwarm seat

kept running around the office today to the point that my seat was hardly warm. couple of computers needed reformatting, new computers needed to be setup and we were trying to get the office organized as soon as possible. absolutely nothing to do with engineering i know but such is my job to help the office make sure things run smoothly. ah well.

dumbass

got a call today from a big company in singapore asking if i was still looking for a job. damn, they sure took their time to contact me. 4 whole months after i submitted my application. they must be really really desperate. anyway, currently, i don't think it is the right time to join them. i am still green and i know i will not get anywhere with their interview panel, so i did not want to waste my time and turned them down. maybe couple of years down the road, after i have gained enough experience, then i will consider making an application again. alas, turning them down is equivalent to turning down big fat bonuses. ah well, i never had a charmed life anyway.

car spin again

most probably my last time driving the company's vehicle for some time. went on a drive to changi airport, followed by a short stop at east coast to take in the sea breeze. rounded it off with a trip up both mt faber and telok blangah hill. just did not want to stay home today.

car spin to chase the blues away

felt really moody today. maybe because of work, maybe because of someone. i am not too sure myself. while driving my colleagues home today, did not want to go home soon, so drove them right to their doorstep. after that, got 2 of my friends out and went for a spin with them one after the other. finally home after driving consecutively for 4 hours. now, i just wanna sleep.
