mmm...enjoyin mummy's delicioous 花生汤 as i type this entry Labels: exercise, food, joker collection, movies, painting
today is a free day and a break for me after 3 days of activities. Normally, i wince at the thought of having to stay at home for one whole day, because i had several "whole days" last week and i totally feel as if i was rotting from the inside. :) Felt like a living dead, since i wasnt doin anything other than surfing online, watching tv or lying around. Hee, but with these 3 full days of activities, i feel like i deserve this break now. Sometimes, you have to earn your rest time...now i know why everyone is trying to find some work to occupy their time (although im still not plannin to start work any soon, maybe after the new year)
Saturday was gym+swimming day with YY. That was the day i was revived from the "living dead". I wanna move it move i wanna move it move it i wanna move it move it......im goin mad. Just let the pictures talk:
I've finally been to the new swimming pool...
Frankly, you cant call what i do in the swimmin pool swimming. Swimming is non-existent in my dictionary. Moon don't like no swimming, just like frolicking? in the water, hahahaha. But no fret if there's gonna be johore-flood-sizes floods in singapore, because moon knows how to thread water, and float like a lifeless body, all thanks to lai yoke yee. Please don't laugh, although i know it's rare to meet someone who's a complete idiot when im in the 1.8m pool. My body's not conditioned for swimming, i think it's hereditary because neither my dad nor mum knows the water. I'd prefer to stay on land, i'd always thought mankind were land mammals. There's no reason for us to behave like toads, frogs, tortoises, and ......i don't know. I'm 强词夺理ing.
99cents sushi. cheap cheap only. YY and me have been contemplatin settin our foot in nihon mura, this jap restaurant under suki sushi that's outside the swimming pool. As introduced by some channel 8 programme hosted by my fave patmok!! Same leh, there was also the ice cream sticks ordering system...
tako yaki and octopus! and we had delicious fried tofu too. Me like cheap jap food.
strawberry oreo icecream was heavenly. I would come back for this. Highly recommended, unless you don't like strawberry, oreo biscuits, strawberry waffles or nuts in the ice cream. Finger-slappin good.
the chopstick box which looked like a coffin in this pic. The reason why this is featured is because i was a total idiot when i was going 怎么开?怎么开? and the waiter had to open this for me. Honestly, that's because i only know how to handle much more sophisticated gadgets, hee.
Then on Sunday, SM Painting Company knocked on the door, for a 50 dollar paint job:
Meet the Mad and Lock-cok painter. Anyway, it was my first try at painting walls, fun and backbeaking (something like planting rice hor SSM?) now i have brand new walls. We were quite unprofessional, because we were chattin and playin around on the job. Like this:
and this....
the voodoo doll we promised weitingxiaomei
大功告成!!!

Yesterday, met up with yuan for Pan's Labyrinth, been almost 2 months since we last met so we had loads to catch up on. Talked alot, and witnessed her jumbo appetite. Had malay nasi, taiwan 鸡排,and more i think. And thanks for the ride on 65 even though it wasn't on the way, hohoho...
However, we did have different views regarding the movie. She felt that it was less fairytale and more violence and reality, and that the front part didn't linked. But somehow, i like it for being different. It's only once in a while you catch a movie like this that weaves the tale as it intersects between reality and fantasy so magically, yup, just like a labyrinth. The background of the story was set rather accurately, in the fascist regime look-alike, as it tells a tale of escapism, that fantasy and daydreaming is fundamental to living in a world like this. Nice. I liked the almost open-ended ending, since it's up to us to decide whether Ofelia's "dream" was a dream and fantasy, or was it reality? Great movie to start the year with.
Anyway, after the entry on cheenah weiting xiao mei, the 8 days issue of " better to be a real cheenah than a faux angmoh" came out. Apt article to indicate that it's OUR ERA. Like what it says in the article, "You want people to show you the chua jee? Then you've got to speak huayu." Yeah, huayu cool 万岁!Down with the kentangs, beware marcius goh (hahahaha)
Im ending with a call for all jokers...:) Planning to start collecting joker cards, so everyone if you have any jokers that's different from the ones i already have, please donate. Leave a note on the tagboard and i'll get back to you. Thank you.
