Halloween Don't Cost A Thing!

"The showdown is upon you. The battle between good and evil.
You're at your final life line. Without hesitation you hastily waste it.
Your mind is frolicking with ideas. You cannot decide.
Time is suddenly of the essence. And you return to square one.
All the small things suddenly seem so much bigger. And you just dance."

Rebel Rebel Trip Trip!

"I'd be trippin' and you'd be spilling.
Getting into a gridlock all after running around the block."

"We'll be flipping while working on our tanning.
Trimming and grinding all through the nightfall, we'll be working."

English vs Singlish

Had lunch at Astons today with Karen and some colleagues. During lunch one of them said the party behind me are teachers too from hearing their conversation (It was quite loud). I said their most probably in the CL dept since their all speaking Mandarin. Bewildered, she replied that their not speaking Mandarin but English or the correct term rather would be, Singlish! Haha! A hybrid of English, Malay, Hokkien, Punjabi, etc and mostly spoken in Singapore.

I pressed harder to hear again and shit man, they really were speaking in English or rather, Singlish. It was so bad and they spoke so fast I didn't believe it could really be in ENGLISH.

I wonder if people can really grasp the skill of switching on and off their use of Singlish. When I travel overseas I find myself not using Singlish at all but it occasionally slips on rare occasions.

Hydrotherapy!

H2O, the vital element that keeps us all up and running. And lucky for us, G and I got some very much needed hydrotherapy at Holland V over the weekend. To be honest, I do not drink the minimum amount of water needed per day and that has led to some undesirable outcomes. Trying to improve on my water consumption especially now that I'm working and need to use/ STRAIN my voice so often.

Found this article below about WHY YOU NEED TO DRINK UP! It's so accurate and I can especially relate to the part which states, "Many men are dehydrated and don't even know it." Read the article and get inspired to ensure your necessary daily intake of H2O!

Life For Rent

It's time for a new lease on life.

Years are flying but nothing is happening.

Not going to expect too much anymore.
There's no point of getting my hopes up for nothing.

Feel like a fool when you love someone too much.
But nothing is reciprocated.

Thankful for friends who make the effort
and time to be by your side when you need them.

People can really surprise you.

Geminis Are Identical

Made my way over to Starbucks this evening to keep Casey company while she was studying for her upcoming tests.

Casey: Let me know when you're on your way...
Me: In the bus already. Should be there soon.
Casey: Great, I can't bloody study anymore.
Me: What! But I brought a book to read!
Casey: Hack it! Geminis don't read! We communicate!

Haha! This is so true, damn! Need to catch up on so much reading. But I'll usually get into the book/ story once I start on it and if it's captivating enough. The fastest I've ever read thus far is "The Da Vinci Code" which took me a record three days to complete! and "The Kite Runner" was a pretty good one too.

Elusive

Just as you can never have too many cupcakes, you can never be too old. Dora's turning 21 soon and she hosted a pre-birthday dinner party at her home last night. She had over 30 different cupcakes to substitute a birthday cake. Complementing the treats were bottles of Rosemount Champagne which is one of my favourite things to have.

Great night indeed!

Went down to Zouk after that with Dom to meet Toria and a couple of friends. Had some engaging conversations over drinks and dancing. It's refreshing to hear the perspectives they had about some things. Although honesty and constructive criticism is something that not everybody would like to hear, I believe it is important but you've got to learn to not take it to heart. I'm a non-judgmental guy and it's the best thing for me when you're surrounded with similar people.

Don't Let Go!

"Let's lend a hand to somebody that needs one
and
a shoulder for whoever to lean on."

Pure Shores

Took some time during the weekend and went roller blading with Geraldine at the beach. It's good to know that I can still blade after a three year rift. Had dinner with Corey and met up at Dom's place after for his post-POP party. And wrapped up the weekend with some r & r at Sentosa. I think I'm becoming tanner than I should be after all that Vitamin D!

This gal is too funny!

DG:
You don't have Beyonce's butt!
Jag:
That's it! I don't wanna talk to you anymore. I'll talk to myself!
Cor:
Hey! What about me?
Jag:
Oh yeah, that's right, I'll talk to Corey!
(*There's more to share but may be a tad too explicit! Haha)

Lies

Have it all memorized
Everywhere lies
Everytime I roll the dice"

The Force Is With You

In celebration of F1 in town, I normally participate every year be it working or partying. This year remained simple though by just watching the night race from home with the family. Also, I thought I would share in this entry the team I support and I think it should be obvious why! Check out who Adrian Sutil is chatting with! Haha.
