Happy Fathers' Day

You can imagine how much I wanted to rip my hair from my scalp when I accidentally refreshed the webpage even before I could hit the enter button. I totally lost the last entry I wrote, and that discouraged me to write another entry until now. I guess I don't like to drag my stuff too much.

Happy Fathers' Day to all the loving fathers in the world. My dad said,"With money, everyday is Fathers' Day." Ah, how realistic. He keeps me down-to-earth and always thinking practically in situations. That's why I love my dad, although I totally forgot when was the last time I told him that. Ten years ago?

Popped by Gordon's place yesterday to make up for not being able to join him for his birthday party. And what's the four of us (Mr. and Ms. G,Mr. and Ms. J) without a good day of boardgames? I'm still enjoying Puerto Rico and Vegas Showdown (altough I'm totally crap at them), Mr. and Ms. G are still at their stuff (you get what I mean), and we had a hell lot of fun. And Gordon's tortoise was adorable, even when it sleeps under the curtain. On the other hand, the 35-minute for bus 130 wasn't as fun, especially when you have two extremely exhausted and sweaty people dying to get home. I'm still a little pissed with SBS.

And guess what?! It's dinner at Jack's place tomorrow! Yes you read it right, it's Jack's place. Jack's place, ya know?

Excursion to ECP and Changi

You have no idea how much I enjoy chatting with NX, even when it's done online. It seems as though we can talk about anything and everything on Earth, which is ironic because the last time we actually met was with WL.
When was that?

I really hate to say goodbye, but it's comforting to know that they'll be enjoying their time there in Japan. Of course with that I hinted a little about bringing something back for me.
Hehe.
No, not the Otakus.

First 'suntan' in a very long time yesterday. We ended up looking like freshly grilled tiger prawns trudging around East Coast Park. I'm kind of thankful my skin isn't burning and all prickly now, because that's what you always get after a really accidental tan. And I just found a brand new way of clinging to you.
*Laughs*
I just want to smile a really huge smile and look into your eyes. And tell you how much I miss you, just 9 hours after I last saw you.

Excursion to Botanical Gardens

For the first time in many days, I finished perusing every single section of the day's newspaper (excluding the classified ads and executive appointments). I've been missing out on daily news, catching them onn tv only when I reach home late at night. This may be a good thing, since I'm totally incapable of financing myself for the Great Singapore Sales, so not reading the newspaper will mean resisting any attempt by the marketing departments of commodities to earn my dollar. If I have any, to start with.

And you wouldn't believe me if I told you that Singapore is too small for my liking. I’ve only got the lush greenery to conquer, since I’ve got almost every inch of our bustling concrete jungles covered with our footprints. Our route this time was shorter, starting at the Botanical Gardens and ending with Square 2 at Novena. See?! We’ve even ventured into tourist spots! That’s how bored we are. But scenery was pretty good, and the passer-bys and their dogs/children very much amused us along our loop around the garden.

And we watched Kungfu Panda~!
It was worth the watch, since we had spent about an hour rotting away at Cineleisure before that. First time I actually laughed so much during a movie, or perhaps it’s because I’m seated snugly beside you. Damn that armrest.

Another great day with minimal spending.

You can always make me smile

Oh. My. God.

Am I dreaming, or is Jack, who is seated on my right, chatting with my mum, who is seated on my left?
*Shakes head*
Okay so I’m not dreaming.
*Laughs*

Had a good day with the girls. It’s HY’s birthday today! We dished up our lovely agar agar creation during breakfast, and the girl had such a difficult time trying to finish them up. But hey, they did look really pretty, didn’t they? While we were at that, we had Ben on call. He was meant to surprise her during lunch, and it seemed like our plan worked well. Hehe. Hope our birthday princess had a nice day out with her darling.

And I think I’m still dreaming.

Lies and scams

It has come to my realisation that I haven't been very introspective these few days. But if I could ever find time to sit down and do some self-reflection, I'll probably fall asleep instead of doing some self-evaluation. I lead a very boring life on my own.

And I'm so lazy, I keep doing retrospective entries. Yesterday was adequately fun, although I'm complaining about too little quality time spent together (and am still complaining about it). It's been a looooong time since the 4 of us karaoke-d together, and this time we've got two VIPs.
Haha.
But it was fun (our dear Jane never fails to entertain us, and my pitch always manages to run faster than you can say "zao xia!"). Of course, Jane had her first assessment of another of her prospective "grandson-in-law". Haha. And the microphones kept failing us! Raymond would burn those mics if he saw them, Jack said.
*Laughs*
And can I mention that the service was adequately horrible enough for me to do serious contemplation before stepping into that place again? I even feel sorry for even forking out just $5 for the membership fees for 5 years. And you'll still have to pay their $10 cover charge for diluted tea, diluted honey, that miserable bit of tidbits, horrible attitude of the crew... And all these KTV places just have to keep cheating us of our money. K Box's so-called "$1 Cover Charge Monday" is just another money-spinning scam in which they charge you:

$1 Cover Charge +
$5+ Drink +
$2.50 Tidbits +
$2 KOD Charge +
7% GST +
10% Service Charge +

$15 PER PAX

Wow.
SOOOOOOOOOOO cheap.

I'd rather throw my Yamaha G-245II seven storeys down then to give in to their exorbitant charges. So much for that $1 Cover Charge.

I'm making a promise to all my friends here, I'll have a KOD-ready karaoke system in my house 8 years down the road. Bank on my words.
