I'm going to Sydney tomorrow night. Rosza and Aryna's in Bondi waiting for me. I gotta go.
These new colleagues of mine are so funny. My initials are FF so there's one who calls me Forever Friends. There's another who calls me Fast & Furious. I don't mind. It's hilarious. I think I wanna ask them to call me Foo Fighters.
my serenade
beckons me to sing and dance and
prance my joy
though no one is here
but turtles swimming in a pool of candy toys
and candid noise of your ginger cat
your fat ginger cat
misses hisses and meows again
until the day
comes to an end
my far away fan
Just back from a movie and supper double date with the wife, Sham and Sharifah. Watched Breaking Dawn at the Grand Cathay and the theatre was packed! I love packed theatres. And the movie was great. I gotta stop listening to movie reviewers so much. I loved the music most, they played some songs from the previous movies so it was kind of a trip down memory lane. After that we went to Lau Pa Sat for satay and stingray. There wasn't much of a crowd there despite it being a Friday night.
On Thursday, I sat for my final exam paper of my bachelors degree course. I went out of the hall 20 minutes from time and it was raining, it was raining. I figured it was a sign of some sort :) As I walked down the steps out of the school, the spray of rain kept hitting me before I got into the car. Hahaha it was like a rebirth! And so I await the results.
And so much earlier today was my last day of work in MOE. It has been a great ride. All of mostly 5 years. I've never stayed in a job so long. But on to newer and hopefully better things :)
I'd recommend anybody to give U Town a visit. Come at night. The Education Resource centre houses the Starbucks, tables and chairs for general studying & lepakment, and a great big field in the middle. When we went tonight, uni students were sitting on the field like they do (on TV and movies) in campuses like Harvard and Princeton.
You also get a ten percent discount off your beverages at that Starbucks if you're a staff or student. And it's open 24 hours a day. Wowwz!
Tomorrow going you know.(again)
I woke up on the chair in Aryna's bedroom. I fell asleep there after tucking her to bed last night and I never made it out the door. That was like 11 at night and I woke up at 6 the next morning. Missed my sahur. In fact I'm pretty sure Rosza missed hers too cos when I finally got to our room she was still sleeping with the Friends DVD menu on loop.
I couldn't sleep after that so I trolled around the net and listened to music, watched some videos and read some Harry Potter lit. Times like these.
It's 2011. Ramadan in 2011. Yesterday we made a pit stop at Geylang, bought some stuff to bring home for Iftar at my mom's. Rosza said it was pretty damned crowded. I was driving around with Aryna who was napping in the back seat while Rosza was out buying the good stuff. The karipap stall around Onan Road had a looong queue that snaked around to their corner. We gave that a miss so it was just ayam percik and dendeng. Just!
I have my work year pretty much planned out till November. Now what that means is, I have at least a day off in each week so that it won't be a straight 5 day week where I'll be at work. This usually requires a large amount of planning effor, the whole lot of my year's leave and the annual call up my the Ministry of Defence. It's rare to get all these things to gel but when they're found and combined, it is llke smelling the sweet nectar of the kismet pot of gold.
If only I put the same amount of effort into my actual work, I would be pretty impressive.
Ok watch this video by foo fighters if you haven't yet.
So I had some time on my hands and decided to transfer the photos I had from my phone to the computer and I was inspired to do this:
Ramadan Mubarak!
Ok so apparently this page still works.
Hey people, I'm in my last semester (s-i-x months) in my bachelor's degree course. Am I stoked or whhaaaaaaaaaat.
