it finally arrived in the mailbox!
i was thrilled to receive my first set of 3 dvds, from an online rental service, in my mailbox today..
let me elaborate a little here...
i was just surfing the net the other nite... and i searched for online dvd rentals... some form of convenient service whereby u can just log on, pick the films you want... and have it delivered rite to your doorstep...it's waaaay cool.. ok... maybe not in the zouk-cool sense... but in the cool since_i_don't_have_much_to_do_but_to_spend_my_time_watching_dvds_this_hols kinda way... so i came a cross this site www.hollywoodclicks.com and decided to see what they had to offer... they mail you the shows that you list down in order of availabilty and preference.. and when you are done.. you just need to mail them back the dvd and they will send u whatever's next on your list...it's as simple as that!! how wonderful... and as i was browsing the titles that they had.... i was suddenly very excited to see BOLLYWOOD selection!!!! i was giddy with excitement.... thrilled... where do i sign??? hahaha... so anyway... they have this free trial thing that i am currently signed on... and i will probably continue the membership for the month of december... its $35 and i figured it isn't too bad... since i really don't wanna pay good money for bad hindi vcds... heh..
that was two days ago... yup, it's pretty prompt service.. i found the first three titles in my mailbox this evening.. and i cldn't wait to get started... unfortunately they didn't have DEVDAS... which was one of the big budget bollywood productions... can't wait to get my hands on that... in the mean time... i have KAL HO NAA HO, MOHABBATEIN and CHALTE CHALTE...
and talk about value for money... i never realised that the minimum duration of a hindi movie is actually 3hrs.. and for an epic its probably 4hrs... how will i ever find enough time for all the shows that intend to watch??
and for those who are still in disbelief of my fascination with the bollywood culture... yes, i do watch... the title of this blog isn't just a witty title... heh.... but let me make this clear... i love the song and dance, i love the happy endings.. (ok i am a sucker for all the tragic ones too).. i love the beautiful cast... so erm...no old hindi movies for me.. just those with aishwarya, shahrukh and priety (yes, that's apparently a name)...
so may new hindi phrase for today: kal ho naa ho which translate to "for, tomorrow may never be"
i love the way they write the scripts... who says romance is dead?? not in bollywood!! =)
ok ok.. so some people may find it tacky... but hey, where is the love?? (rite mr lai?)
and thank goodness for APPROPRIATE subtitles.. i don't get some senseless translation of the dialogue or the songs... yup, the songs... haha... all filled with meaning... all conveying love...
we could all use a little bit more romance in our lives rite? (men's health the magazine apparently agrees with me... but that would be another blog altogether )

another haircut inspired story...
as i sat at the 4th level of wisma atria, waiting to get my hair done at Supercuts... apparently my new hairstylist, Sam, is rather popular.... and not scheduling an appointment meant that i had to wait till he was done with all the other clients... so while waiting... reading an old issue of NEWMAn... the sounds of nelly and christina going 'tilit ya head back'.... i was overcome by a sudden wave of nostalgia...
i can't remember the last time i had my haircut done at one of those indian barbers... those really authentic ones... where the barber himself was a burly indian man... normally with a moustache... who would exert force on ur head just to get ur head in the correct position for u to cut... at an indian barber... you will get a SLOPE... where the razor was pressed close to ur skin creating a neat edge to a randomly calculated gradient... then at the end of the haircut you get the shave and the dousing of talc on ur neck and ears... you leave the barber itchy, red but only about 6bucks poorer....
here i am now... a haircut that is both science and art... trust me... it takes careful calculation to hide protruding ears... and the hairstylists can even give u a haircut while u are sleeping... but of course the usual position taken would be that of reading the magazine... a haircut now comes with a shampoo or two... and a little massage... i've come a long way...
oh but that doesn't explain the nostalgia whatsoever...
the thing about that trip to the barber when i was younger was that it was a family event... my parents would packed my brothers and i into the car... my dad would drive us to the town area of jb... that's very near the customs checkpoint... somehow you can only find the authentic barbers to give you the right slope there... and coz it was so hard to get a parking space... my dad would drop my mom and the kids off at the doorsteps of the barbershop... complete with the twirling candy cane thingy... we'd each take our turn at the barber seat... getting an identical haircut... and since i was the youngest.. and the shortest at that time... i would have to sit on this plank that he added to the chair... so that i would be at a proper level to be SLOPED...
nah.. i don't miss all that one bit... obviously someone ought to teach the barber how to do a layered cut... they are obviously a vanishing trade... its a question of whether these burly indian men died of clogged arteries from the coconut milk that they consume each day.... or they run of people who could endure the SLOPE... but maybe they can consider rendering their services at TEKONG... maybe.... i'm just glad that the redness, itch and powder puffed face is but a distant memory....

field day... until it rained...
today i was an undercover reporter... i was asked by ming to do a review on the sandwich deli's around her workplace as part of her newsletter... seeing the prospects of an all expense paid lunch... and not just one lunch... i haulled my ass out of bed at 1230 and made my way down to raffles place... i got into the food critic mode fast... and was ready to dish out mean reviews... and tearing the outlets to bits... *muahahahahhahaa*
excuse me...
but alas... that style din not go well with the rest of her newsletter.... so all i was expected to do was to go around take pictures and order something to eat.. of course i wasn't expected to eat at every outlet... altho i thought it was just sandwiches... how difficult can it be??
first stop: o'briens irish blah blah blah.....
i ordered, sat down... and looked at my list... *shit* i'm not very good at this... coz i think i just ordered something at the wrong outlet!! why the hell do they have so many outlets within walking distance of each other???
so i whipped out my mobile and got in touch with the BIG KAHUNA... (can someone enlighten me? kahuna means fish rite? or whale?? haha... ) so BIG KAHUNA said... "don't eat anything..."
but i had already ordered... a smoked salmon sandwhich with cream cheese and a side of chips...
BIG KAHUNA then went on to say... "take photo of the food then...."
and it struck me that i wasn't very familiar with my job scope... i quicky put back the quarter of the sandwich that i had already taken a bite of back on the plate... an took a shot of it... hopefully the readers will notice the chips instead... =P
so anyway.... i lapped up the plate of smoked salmon sandwich... and when i was done... boy, was i full... stuffed... i couldn't eat anymore.. and i had 6outlets to go.... i decided to just go around taking pictures.. at least of the more familiar ones... coz the BIG KAHUNA can prob do a writeup on SUBWAY and COFFEE BEAN without needing to do a taste test.... so take photos.. collect menu... try to write a review by looking at what the other patrons have ordered... and judge their facial expressions as they stuffed their hungry faces with the sandwich...
the initial excitement of the undercover work was subsequently dampened by the weather.. which was starting to put me to sleep... oh what i wouldn't give for a nice comfy bed at that time... but i'm a PROFESSIONAL... so i trudged on....
i was so sure that i couldn't eat anymore and hence decide to go for my haircut instead and continue my undercover work tmw alongside the BIG KAHUNA herself... and just as i handed her the camera and was walking towards the mrt station... i may have heard my tummy gave a slight rumble... i was hungry... DAMN!!!! the sandwiches would have come in handy.... but i guess it will have to wait till tmw... in the meantime it was fish dumpling hor fun... *burpp*

bedkarma
heh... figured that i would be spending some quality time sleeping for the next six weeks or so.. so spruced up the bed a little... ;)
winter_cleaning....
spent the later part of the day doing some house chores... can't say i enjoy it.. but i love it when i get to snuggle up to fresh sheets and the room is all nice and clean... altho its always pretty much short lived.. somehow things don't stay in place for long...=(
anyway... just realised that cleaning is a good form of workout... i worked up an appetite just from cleaning after dinner.. maybe that should be my new PT regime.. heh... get ming and niki over to my plc to do housework! wooo hoo.. i think they'd rather pay me bananas and lift weights....
yes.. i should tell everyone my futile attempt to get a tan this afternoon... *sigh*
its a conspiracy... the sun and the clouds... and some higher being that wants me to stay fair.. =P
i woke up ard noon earlier today and saw that it was BRIGHT and SUNNY outside... my butt still aching from my workout... but i thot that it was a rare chance to get a tan... so i washed up and headed down to the pool... but the moment i got there... it was cloudy... and after a while.. it seemed like it was gonna rain... i was pretty sure i felt a raindrop... so i decided to pack up and shower... the minute i stepped out of the changing room... the sun just appeared from behind the dark clouds..
WHAT A BLARDY COINCIDENCE!!
but i know it's a conspiracy... uurgh.... i will try again... and one fine day i will succeed!!!

before slumber....
its been a long day....
i've got my glass of milk.. i'm all cleaned up... and waiting to get under the covers... the slight drizzle outside makes it harder to resist sleep... but i shall make this one entry for today.... for all the loyal visitors of this blog...;)
let's see.. some highlights of the day....
*going ard campus with yuanxin... heh.. we were evil.. we went to the library just to check out the people who were studying for exams.. gosh.. they were everywhere.... of course we felt kinda smug that we are done for the semester... but deep down inside...i guess we were a little envious... i think we both wouldn't mind that life where it was just studying for exams... rather than racking our brains over some project... exams are not personal... projects get personal and drive u nuts... so i guess...the ppl in the library prob saw us as lucky asses who din have to study... but they will never know...
*my medical appt... my dental hygiene has improved.. or so says my 'dentist'... despite the fact that i never had much chances to brush my teeth during the submission period...heh... but i can't say that a trip to the dental clinic is ever pleasant... the sound that the scaling thing makes... like that of fingernails against a chalk board... its no wonder why kids can develop a phobia... and as they get older... they just refuse to see the dentist unless they hv to... anyway... that wasn't the worse part... i think the worse part about going to nuh to hv my teeth cleaned is the possibility of meeting ABT... eeks... the densest ex-jc classmate one could ever have... and thanks to the rain.. i had to endure a PAINFUL bus ride with him.... NEVER AGAIN....
*it was a long day at the gym.... but i think ming would appreciate it... haaha... NO PAIN NO GAIN... just remember that... you will be all FAB by christmas... i realise that i should consider it a career alternative... i should be able to survive on all the free bananas, pastries and fish dumplings that i get from my little trainer stint....
*later in the nite pris, stacy, jingmei, ephrem, kelly and i met up to celebrate jaron's 25th bday... i joined the gang when the adjourned to the esplanade... while waiting for them to get there... i manage to catch Robert Fernando... so old time singer... performing at the outdoor amphitheater... it was kinda nice... he serenaded the audience with some OLDIES which i din noe... except for I Can't Smile Without You.... and then later on sang christmas carols.. and as he sang The Christmas Song.. (the one more commonly known as the chestnut song...) and the feeling of the gentle breeze... i understood the meaning of ZONE 1224-1225.... it does feel a little colder come x'mas.. and we all need that special someone for that added warmth... lucky me... i had my FCUK sweater... heh... i will always remember how happy i was to find YOU at the tangs sale... 60% off!!!
*anyway.... we had YUMmY chocolate cake... i am glad i don't have to diet... and HAPPY BELATED BDAY jaron.... and since its already the 24th... happy bday TOFOO... heh.... both of u are a quarter of a century old....

from yvette's blog... this is me...

You Are From Venus |
 You love all forms of beauty. You love dressing up and anything luxurious. A social butterfly, you're incredibly popular and a great host. You're known for your fairness and affection. And as a frind to all. Careful though! You're desire to please may make you too willing to conform. Be yourself. Focus on what matters to you. You'll be all the more popular for it. |

something off my playlist...
(taken from KITE by U2 from "All That You Can't Leave Behind")
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone, anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to know what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
I'm a man, I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes
I want you to know
That you don't need me anymore
I want you to know
You don't need anyone, anything at all
Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to know what it is will break you
I don't know which way the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
Don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye
In summer I can taste the salt in the sea
There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze
I wonder what's gonna happen to you
You wonder what has happened to me
I'm a man, I'm not a child
A man who sees
The shadow behind your eyes

0759hrs
i have been in a state of inactivity...
hoping that when i wake up from this state of blurriness...
life would make some sense...
this isn't melancholy....
neither is it depression...
just inactivity...
perhaps one up from being comatozed...
cos i could go about my life if i wanted to...
the mind was willing but the body was weak...
now the body's well rested... but the brain is kinda srewy...
we are all waiting for the end of the semester...
somehow it has taken over our lives...
despite being so resistant and determined at the start...
we all fall prey...
when we have so little control...
is it a wonder why there is so little will?
perhaps it just seems too comfortable here...
within the confines of my room that is starting to clutter up...
the media being my main portal to the outside world...
i wanna be reached... so as to validate my existence...
yup... a msg to let me know that i am still alive...
but no more than that...
disclaimer:
i have not gone bonkers, neither am i nearly suicidal...
so before anyone overreacts...
this is just a blog before 0800hrs

for once... a blog that isn't about ME
hey guys... just throwing in an advert for priscilla... i told her i would help her promote her tshirt... which is part of a fund raiser for this community service trip to cambodia... of course i can't imagine myself going there to rough it out... so this is my little bit for the good cause...
it is retailing at a discounted price of $10...
hope the pic gives a clear idea of what it looks like... and it comes in three colours.. black (always classy and goes with everything... and a slimming colour!) a light blue as well as green...
my honest opinion of the tshirt?
heh... i told priscilla that i would get a tshirt before i even saw it.. no, i wasn't conned... truth be told the quality isn't the best... coz maybe they themselves didn't find a reliable source for the tshirt.. but i'm sure after a few washes it will be a comfy tee...
yup, i bought it with the intention of showing her my support of her and the cause that she is working for... and can i just say this... she has been working very hard... and she shared with me how that it is the thought that she is doing something meaningful and worthwhile that keeps her going amidst this busy period of submission and all... so now i think that i really do want to support the cause and its not about her... :)
so if u guys are interested... you can msg me.. or write to pris directly... to frens who are working... just imagine contributing an hour at work to this cause... yup? it can always seem like such a small gesture that can make a lot of difference...
to those who wanna contribute but don't really fancy the t-shirt? they are also raising funds through sales of pineapple tarts... $10 for 33pcs.. erm.. they are pretty yummy... that's why i don't have a picture of it... :P
ok... maybe i will put a link to the site that they set up for their expedition in one of the later blogs.. coz i think they still need help where possible like collection of newspapers and all.. so if u guys are interested just let me know yar?
ps: for those who are visiting this blog, currently not in spore... but willing to contribute to the cause... just drop me a msg... we'll see what can be done..
thanks for reading!!
