being a loyal and fervent fan, i was obliged to buy tori amos' best-of cd. it's got some songs i've played a hundred or more times, and some which are newly recorded.. including the legendary snow cherries from france. i suck at reviewing cds (i know this, because i have tried), especially artists who are near goddess status to me- ah my holy trinity of muses, my voices of inspiration! - so i will not attempt to give a critique of the album. anyway, i'm also kinda interested in the other complilations by red hot chilli peppers, suede, no doubt, primal scream and beth orton..

to jack--- this is not the high life! i slog for 5and1/2 days everyweek. i'm not a party animal. that was the only clubbing since like august. i'm just highlighting the more interesting parts of my life. cuz i could go on and on about army but it'll just bore the reader. and i could never comment on the news. unless i try. haha. perhaps it's because of the little sum of money we get from ns.. i feel more comfortable with spending money. i still hang out with the same people. and i'll go back to studying one day.. my mom ate at ajisen too..

meanwhile i'm climbing the fine dining ladder bit by bit. me ordered a 22 dollar bento set. along with morris and zhenjin. les amis here i come!

had a great time at centro last night.. the judge jules gig started late, around 12.. cuz of some spot check.. the crowd was adoring and mostly older than us. still haven't tried to flirt. we, numbering about 10, actually went there at 10 but they weren't selling the tickets. we were damn early and so we went to 7-11 to get our fix of alcohol. drank some more at the club. tim was pretty much stoned out. did the robot too. drank some brandy for a change. cool breakdowns, great view of the raffles/marina area, got chased away from a reserved table, resisted smoking. it lasted till 6am with a complimentary breakfast but the last of us left at 4.30. surprisingly there were still many people queuing to get in..

9pm, photo hunting, orchard road, the s'pore buskers grand parade -- i had missed the great kodak moment of a guy juggling swords. primarily because i was blocked by many people and he juggled for all of 3 seconds. it's dangerous after all. i then sauntered over to the main junction, where fake soapy snow was spewing out onto everywhere, meaning my hair and cameras- i used both the lomo and digital camera. anyway, there was this photography competition going on, and i was wielding my lousy 3.2 megapixel camera while many others brought their slrs and big lenses and tripods, so i really stood no chance. with my skill, i also managed to get a few blurry shots of a one woman show, which was very funny. she got four chinese guys to take off their clothes and perform a caberet routine with her. she also said 'are you trying to get a picture of my ass!'. not to me of course.

and removing contacts sucks.

i'm trying to finish my old roll of film. i hope everything turns out ok.

has anybody noticed the spate of jessica simpson quotes appearing in the media everywhere? i swear they are the funniest and wittiest quotes any blonde, or person, can give. i mean, what was nick lachey thinking?

i just got a whole list from eonline.. w/out their commentary

the really famous one!! on a can of tuna "chicken of the sea"
"Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish?"

"Isn't it plata-ma-pus? I always thought it was plata-ma-pus."

politely wanting to go to the loo:
"I think I need to go, um...drop some kids in the pool."

"Is there, like, maids for, like, celebrities?"

"I hate record labels. They think they know everything. I want to hear them try to sing it."

after a meal:
"I have bubbles in my tummy...It's just air. It's not stink. Promise."

on playing golf:
"What if I accidentally hit somebody? Because my dad took one of his friends golfing--and it was like one of his first times--and he knocked out a duck. He hit a duck. Like, I'm scared something like that's gonna happen."

when taunted during a camping expedition:
"Don't make fun of me."

while trying outfits:
"I'm not a good try-er clothes-er on-er."

on buffalo wings:
"I don't eat buffalo."

on her upcoming birthday.. a real stunner
"No, 23 is old. It's almost 25, which is, like, almost mid twenties."

seriously, this blog is at risk of joining the 3 million of so pages on the net that suffer from neglect. some pages haven't been updated since 1995 and are still floating around like ringwraiths. talking bout ringwraiths, lotr fever is upon again! unlike the matrix trilogy, where the script is all mumble jumble and full of self importance, you know that the return of the king will be good. i don't know why they killed trinity. i believe that the love affair thing should always have a good old happily ever after ending.

i have no idea why my modified template always disappears from the server. i really did put much work to it.. well now i can't be bothered anymore..
