COMMERCIALS

It cranked me up when the men all came together singing that song towards the end.




HAHAHA!

DISAPPEARING FOOD

Met up with Xuxu for a short while earlier.

With a cursory glance-over, she tsked and asked have I lost any more weight. "Ni you shou le ah???!!!" She exclaimed. I was mortified. Truth is, I've been feeling horrendously FAT. Really. For the past weeks, I've been having much more regular meals than before - especially lunch. At least, what had been practically non-existent, I've been having proper meals for lunch on some days from Monday to Friday for the past weeks.

That said, I've been feeling truly gross. The stomach has been feeling so full, so full, so full on some days - and more frequently than usual. I feel FAT. Disgusting feeling. So much so that early this morning, I made a mental note to eat less fuller meals next week.

But, that sentence from Xuxu made me reconsider this notion. Maybe it should be scrapped. I've been eating, but not gaining, apparently. ARGHHH!!! Where did all the digested food disappear to?

DOING IN LOVE

Caught Tooth Fairy today.

"Doing something that you love is never a waste of time."

AGE-D

Granny got moved to Ren Ci today to recuperate. For therapeutic purposes, I guess. The duration of the stay is not for certain, though.

I think it is a little sad, spending CNY in a hospital. Yeah, sure, on CNY we would take Granny home to celebrate on the day itself. But still...



Today, I was working in the office. A colleague had just came back to work after applying for UPA, for his father had recently passed away after being diagnosed with terminal-staged cancer one month ago. Another fellow colleague dropped by our office to offer his condolences. It turned out that the deceased is only 60-year-old. The fellow colleague made all the appropriate sounds and expressions sympathetically, and after which, mentioned that his own father also passed away at 60 odds.






It suddenly made me realize, all the elders whom I love are indeed getting older and older. Parents. Grandma. And it makes me feel funny deep down inside.

THOUGHTS

During the first week in Hall 1, Bel and I were practically shivering (really... No exaggeration!) towards the end of the service. Really, I was shaking like a leaf.

Not that we both were not prepared for the air-conditioning. We were both wearing cardigan - just that it so happened to be not thick enough.

Which led me to ponder...



How nice would it be, if cardigans/sweaters/jackets etc has an INTERNAL THERMOSTAT. In this way, it can be responsive and react accordingly to the external environment. If the temperature drops below a certain degree, the garment would booster itself and "grow" thicker. Wonderful, isn't it? Saves the hassle and dilemma of having to decide between a thick sweater or a thin cardigan.

Which, also led me to ponder further....



How wonderful would it be if quilts/blankets are able to "crawl" back onto the bed and cover itself over a sleeping person each time it gets kicked out of bed.

Or, how nice would it be if the weighing scale has interfaces with the refrigerator/rice cooker/wallet/purse/atm card etc. If your weight hits a certain benchmark, the weighing scale would send a signal and LOCK UP the refrigerator/rice cooker/waller/purse/atm card. That way, you would not get to eat until you've slimmed down.

Or, how about a computer so smart that it can read your brain waves and type out what you're thinking or saying? Goodbye, keyboard.

Or, how about an internal feedback mechanism on adipose tissues. Once you're accumulated enough weight (read: fats), your body secrets some special enzymes to "liquefy" the excess lipids and you can perspire it all out cleanly.

Or, how about nails that fall out on its own once it grows pass the fingertips?

Or, how about shoelaces which are able to tie themselves?

Or, how about mobile phones which are able to harvest, convert, and store solar energy as potential energy, thus recharging the cell battery itself automatically?

Or, how about teeth that cleans and polishes itself?

Or, how about a bolster that can hug you back?

Or, how about bath towels that are able to wrap itself around your wet body without you lifting a single finger?



Ok. I think it's either I have a brilliantly wacky but creative brain, or a plain lazy one.

NOT JUST RIGHT

I seriously think that taxi is a bunch of irony.

It has been said: Whenever you need a cab, they're never there; unless you book one (tell me about it!). But when you don't need one, they're EVERYWHERE.

I think, the same goes too, for the drivers behind the steering wheel. When you're feeling tired and wish to steal a quick rest, you'll kena a chatterbox cab driver. When you're feeling chirpy, however, you get a solemn one who doesn't even bother to confirm your destination or to ask for your route preferences (I kena-ed it just now).



It is just never right when it comes to cabs!

COLOUR MY LIFE

Colour. My. Life.

VISION

One particular statement that sort of wow-ed me during service earlier.

The place where Abraham was asked to sacrifice Issac - "Moriah" - means vision.



"If you don't have a vision to work forward to, you would not give your best sacrifice to it."

HOLIDAYS

I'm dreaming of the March holidays already!

Looking at some places to go to during the one week holidays. Nothing is confirmed yet, I'm not even sure if the one week holiday is good enough to entice me to travel out of good old Singapore; but hey, it doesn't hurt to flirt with the idea, right?

Sun and fun. And CHEAP. Kota Tinggi. Langkawi. Bintan Lagoon. Batam. Phuket. Maldives. Koh Samui. Tioman. Cebu. Pulau Sibu. BORA BORA (*screamsss!!!). Bora Bora is a totally awesome place. It's an alluring beauty; a paradise! Too bad though, the location is a lil' too far. And a lil' too expensive.



And I'm hoping wishing aiming for a Korea trip for the Nov-Dec holidays!

Bora bora and South Korea. The top 2 destinations that have been at the back of my mind for the longest time ever. Enamored.
