Made a long journey today. Waaaaaaay ro long in fact. I had no choice in the matter either. Where was I headed? Home! The problem? Timing.
I left office at five again for the third time this week. I normally am fortunate enough to leave the office half an hour earlier to beat the peak hour traffic but I don't have the luxury to this week due to my staff taking long holidays far far awY from tyrannical me. Nah I'm not that bad, at least I hope so haha! I only get mad when my staff watch Youtube during office hours. Reasonable? Anyways, my luck ran out this time around on may way back. I've been lucky enough to get home within an hour or so after finishing work but this time I hit the two hour mark. And I had a full bladder and sore ass to boot. Certainly nor my idea of a good time.
Like always, some shots to entertain. They're my holiday pictures for once hehe!
Senior citizen discounts! Even for Crabtree and Evelyn!
Welcome to Disneyland! During the Halloween season
Cute deco?
Mickey mouse breakfast, ang moh style. All sinful and oh so delughtful!
How could I ever leave out the big man! Or uh hum, the big mouse.
Magical!
The toilet's for princesses if you're wondering
My Chip and Dale lunch box!
And it's healthy insides. Only the kids meals at Disneyland have some form of fruits and vegetables in them. Only kids are supposed to eat their vegetables! Adulthood's more dun huh! Bah humbug!
Can't see much here, but the entire place is lighted and ready for their nightly parade :)
Giant mickey pumpkin
Did I mention I got stuck in a ride? Midway too! Had some maintenance issues so the ride stopped in it's tracks doe about ten ro fifteen minutes or so. Bummer! It was supposed to be a scary ride! But I bet you've never taken photos inside a ride ya! Hey, bumper car and ferris wheel rides don't count okay!
Maybe it's just me but my title reminds me of some Roald Dahl story. Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or something. In an eccentric mood today I suppose. Anyways, lots of photos to throw at you today. At long last you say? Let these words lead the way! La de da! Haha! Ok fail!!!
Did a random shoot about a week or two back with Venom. You know, I always thought his real name was Jurgen. Turns out quite a few people do change their names to something else huh. I dunno, I'm sure I'd choose somehing exotic and all, make myself sound special or whatnot. The point that I'm changing it I should consider a name really special enough to be worth changing to right? Unless of course your parents for some reason or another gave you some name completely embarassing or obscure name. Like say, Gaylord or Soon Fatt? Cantonese folks like like that though haha! But why!?! Spare a thought for your kid at school!!! I used to have a lecturer call Pang Sai Heng. No one ever calls him Mr Pang that's for sure :)
I surely digress a way lot! Here are the pics.
Whoppee I'm flying!!!
The windblown look lolx!
Did a job under Cyndi last week too. All new folks. A couple of familiar faces in the circuit but none I know personally.
My younger bro's new bird. He stays in our guest room toilet. Wonder how he's coping with the smell haha! Kidding! Cute huh! He's got socks too! And he snores! Not teal snoring actually, more like cooing like the way doves do, but repeatedly like snoring whaha! Adorable I tell you.
Oh, I don't think I remembered to mention about my new purchase. If you folluw me on Twitter I suppose you do but not everyone's crazy about stalking me ya! *wink* I got a new camera, and a compact one at that. My first! It's a Samsung ST550, the self portrait one if you're clueless.
Here are some of my shots!
Did I mention they were narcissistic ones? Hehehe!
Oh! And I finally got rid of my P plate! 24 point allowance for me! Not that I've been penalized yet or anything but just in case I beat a red light haha! I've already developed bad habits.
Taru doing the honors
I honestly didn't expect him to break it! I wanted to save it for my younger bro but ah well, it's been worn brittle by the sun already haha!
I'm considering changing that title to the glutton's life instead but I think I'd like to spare myself the agony of multitudes harping on me slimming down. I'm pretty sure, as does my weighing machine, about my ever increasing weight. Sad to say, I think I've put on five kilos. Fortunately for me, it isn't too obvious on my photos. Heng ah!!! Haha! But I guess my relief is only temporary. At the rate I'm going it wouldn't be very long before I start looking like what I actually gobble down.
I've been indulging myself in food, food and more glorious food. From the most healthy sort, a la Soup Spoon, to the most sinful of buffets. I had two today for tour information and I'm not proud of it. One for brunch and the other for dinner, after my afternoon nap naturally. Kind of disgusting huh! It's been going on ever since I got back from the US in fact. That's two whole weeks of gluttony dammit! Shitload of food I've chugged into my system yea!
Well can't way much on how I'm gonna get rid of the impending flab eager to form on my midriff since I haven't any battle plan as of yet. But I'm working on it! Wish me luck haha!
Anyways F.Y.I., I got myself my first compact camera yesterday. Whoppee! Never did get one becaue I'm blessed to know too many narcissistic friends and I always thought having an all-in-one handphone with decent megapixels to satisfy my self-taken shots would be sufficient. My itchy fingers got the better of me this time. I'm kind of still wondering why I did takethe plunge in the first place. Maybe I'm just too bored haha! Gives me more reason to blog and upload more junk for you to see so why complain ya! Lol!
I'm posting up dated photos again as always until I get the hang of my new camera so take a browse okay!
Foundy old shoot photos from months back on Flickr. I've got wings! Too much redbull I reckon :)
From left: Elaine, Christina and moi! On a boat trip to SG Flyer
I'm on FHM this month! Go see! Yay! ^^
One of our many dinners. Been a while since I had dinner with this same group of chums sigh...
Having a lethargic night today partially due to the fact that Fridays around the corner. It's actually Friday technically speaking but hey, I'm not feeling it till I have to get up and face that office table yet again. The weekend's so nearby whoopee!
Mine's rather jam packed already. Not that it's a good thing actually. I prefer my days filled with well, nothing in particular actually. Relaxation is my forte and personal favourite so to speak haha!
I met up with Kenneth today for dinner. Ate some rosti over at that Japanese cafe at Cathay cineleisure. Not too shabby but like all things, could have been better I guess. I'm not exactly dying to go back for more.
Anyhow, I'm uploading some shots from my lastclass gathering which happening at the beginning of October haha! Better late than never whaha! Been ages since I met them Aand as always, Dao Wei has made the biggest physical transformation since secondary school days. Gotta give it to him, he made slimming seem like a piece of cake. If only I could have a slice of that cake too ya! I'd be fit a a fiddle and run a few clicks. Like real! Ha!
Not too sure if the pictures are big enough for you to see but we even had cake for the occasion. What's with me and cakes man! Third time I'm mentioning it in one post!
Not absolutely in the greatest position to blog right now due to fatigue but again, hey I love you guys so much I just couldn't resist the temptation! Right...
I've been busy with paperwork but this times it's not Exactly work related per se. Rather, I've been dippin' my guns into accident related antics. I knocked my car into a Lancer at Newton Circus not too long back. I've had disturbing calls from the bugger ever since. It's to do with settling the score without going through the hassles of insurance. So predictable. And incredibly irritating as well partially because I felt the idiot was in the wrong. But who doesn't right?
It's a rather long story to tell so I'll save you the details. What I can say in summary is that it's most likely gonna be a fifty-fifty situation since the incident occured at a circle. Hard to tell who should be in whose lane ya! Well I'm not intending to claim because well, I'm not yet 26 so the excess is far more hair wrecking than my rapairs. I'm not too sure about the other guy's but I reckon from the looks of him, it's probably much higher than his damages too. I only grazed the bastard, I wasn't so fortunate to mess that much with his ride. Pity. No photographs of course, 4D's for me only. You understand right? Haha! Definitely would make a bigger attempt to blog again soon about my trip in consolation haha! Will that do? :) Course it would, cause you love me so, muack! Haha! Night people!
(As you can see, I'm attempting to haunt you tonight with my disgusting "act cute" images ha!)
Another update just so you know I'm still alive someway or another. Barely though! Completely jet lagged from the trip back that there were several times when I actually woke up wondering where the hell I was. Did I mention the total knockout sessions that left me sleeping like a log for long periods of time? Bah!
I'm only scraping through work too in my current state. I'm dreading the invoicing overload tomorrow but ah well, that's what you get for long holidays abroad right? For the record, to all those harping on me going back to school. I continue to stand by the fact that working is still hella better than studying alright! Why on earth would I choose slogging for free over slogging for money? Poor students suffer penniless pockets in ADDITION to the stresses of examinations and project deadlines. Terrible boss you say? Isn't that comparable to a bitchy prof? And the bloody grade stays with you for life! Lagi worse!!!
I digress as always. I'll be ending off early tonight as well. Got a nice big pile if paperwork to swim in tomorrow. Yippe for me. I'll continue with the trip details and photo whoring session another time. Hopefully tomorrow.
FYI: That's a DD cup bra I saw at Mark's and Spencer's. Bigger than my frigging hand! No biggie in the US, but frighteningly intimidating over here haha!
Would love to give a more thorough update but due to time constraints (I'm blogging in the bus as we speak) and the lack of photos ( have yet to transfer them to my iPod. Oh the banes of not having an iPhone!) I'll save a more thorough post to another day when time permits. I did visit one of the seven wonders of the world via helicopter today. Could you take a guess which? I realize I'm kind of lagging in visiting all these wonderful places. I'd probably try to visit all of them before I die... I hope haha! Only succeeded in visiting the great wall of china, the great barrier reef, and the previously mentioned one I told you to guess :) still got so many more to go! By the way, i didn't know that niagara falls isn't one of them. What an idiot. And what's with all those other tourist attractions claiming to be the eight wonder of the world?! Wannabes lol! Just so you know, the below pics are from ye o'l Singapore flyer job.
