On Sunday late night I met up with Chee Meng, my close camp mate. Drove over to his house to pick him up. We had made a sudden decision to meet for supper. So I suggested going to the Almeen foodhouse at the Bukit Timah stretch opposite Beauty World. The roads at Bukit Timah area are extremely narrow. Moreover, driving at night made it seem a rather ardous task. Yeah, you need to really know how to manouvre your car right man. Anyway, had prata and Indian-style mee goreng. Make a guess what kind of prata I ordered? No prize for the right answer though! Haha yea, of course I ordered egg and cheese!!
Judging from the pic you can see what a voracious appetite I have! Ah haha.
After the meal we had a photo frenzy session at the neoprint machines. Haha. Of course we didn't really take neoprints. We snapped shots of ourselves with qianhui's own camera! Lol. It was fun and the effect is really nice. Made a collage out of a few selected pics! You might wnat to click on the pic for a larger view. Haha.
After that we walked around Far East. Initially I thought of getting a Boxer. That's right you heard me. A Boxer. Lol. We spotted a lot of Spongebob squarepants Boxers which are just too cliche. Initially thought of getting on with our mission of getting me a suitable Boxer, but we got engrossed and lost in all the walking around and looking at nice stuff. I saw this Hollister T-shirt which is damn nice. Yellow with brown imprints. And the design is just way unique. It's designed to be inside out. Even the label tag is out! But it cost $79.90 so I have to forget the idea of getting it. Well, perhaps after I've got my next pay I would get back to it. But it's the last piece, so well... Fine. I have to stop my urge to splurge on such materialistic things huh!
But honestly, I buy things on impulse. As Aaron puts it rightfully, I do things according to my "feel". Yea, guess I'm a rather kinesthetic person. Oh damn it, I need to change seriously.
After the window-shopping-spree in which I bought nothing(thankfully), we headed to Borders. I was so attracted by the large array of books. Even the smell of the books seem alluring. Lol. But wait, I'm definitely not a bookworm. Just that I like to indulge myself in a bookish environment. I used to visit the libraries regularly in the past but I didn't really manage to complete reading the books I borrowed. However, you can ask me any author and I can probably just tell you what kind of books he/she writes without having read any of their books. Yeah, I am that familiar. But ever since enlisting in NS, I have found more time and patience to complete reading a few excellent novels as well as other non-fiction. And while browsing through the poetry corner in Borders today, I found this juttingly striking book entitled "A Whole New Mind". Reminded me of the song "A Whole New World". It's about how right brainers are gradually "ruling" the world. Definitely the kind of book I would wanna read. Seems really interesting. Hail the ARTS!
After that we decided to head down to Vivocity. We were sitting along the stretch facing the sea when I saw the cable cars moving above us. They look really gorgeous with the bright lighted blinking colored lights. Looked like christmas tree ornaments. So all of a sudden, I made a quick decision that we should go on a cable car ride!! Haha. It was a nice experience. Looking down from the 15th storey. I still remember how I used to urge Yingpeng on for a boat ride along Singapore River while we were walking along Esplanade. It was really a last minute decision too. Heck I just thought I wanted to do what I like to do at that moment.
A moment of time. Definitely.
Alright, another day of off for tomorrow before I have to book in at night.
Maybe we should really take it slow.

It may or may not be maturity that is making yr blog boring, as u claim it. However I think its more to the reason tt u are in army tts y. No life of yr own there ma. Things will change when u come out, no worries.
"Society has made us into living zombies" U are in yr own rite to say this but I believe that one can be un-zombified if one chooses the rite things to do ie getting a life first. Life can be enjoyable (or less miserable) even in adversity.
The rat race is on and I HATE it as much as u do. That GP qn "Change is the only constant" is becoming such a cliche Im kind of sick jus seeing it. However it is pretty true. The only change that cant be changed will be facts. Embrace change, before u are forced to let it embrace u. At least u will not feel compelled to change if u accept it.
Comments on the entry "Random Elation":
I cant believe u are getting boxers. Must tell me how they feel if u do wear them leh. I heard they are damn comfortable but I do not really noe how great it is. Maybe I shld give it a try too. I think SpongeBob cant go wrong with boxers, cliche as it may be.
For one thing Im not really sure whether the artistic side is the left or the right. Wikipedia gives pretty crappy answers. Im glad book shops are yr cuppa cos they are free entertainment.
I havent had a cable car ride before. Somehow I never have the money or the right company for such things. U gotta make it happen for me someday. :D
