Where have I been? Places.

Currently listening to: Centre of my life-Hillsong Church London

It's been about nine days since I last blogged. The presentation last Tuesday was okay although I was feverish throughout and I felt I was going a little too fast. That night, I met the rest for dinner; Fio, MS, sdh, TG, Rx (can't really remember the initials I used before) at Cafe Cartel. Waited for a long, long time before we got our seats.

It was quite enjoyable as we talked about Rx getting attached and sdh seeing patients at the A & E with coke bottles up the asshole among other funny things I can't really remember now. Except for TG, all the rest are either going to work or are already working. Everyone's getting old.

Wednesday
The next day, I knocked off late and was late in meeting PL. Went to our favourite pigout place-Sakae Sushi- and we did some catching up over dinner. It feels very different yet the same. A little distant yet still close. As we were there picking out the favourite dishes, we were talking about different things happening in our lives. She is now having her exams and thinking about going on to honours year while I'm just living my life day by day. Unlike those days when we were still in school together and going for mentoring sessions together, (always remember fondly those hot and busy Wednesday afternoons when we would gather at the KR interchange to wait for the other mentors and PL would be the earliest to reach), we are now doing different things. I miss those days when we could go out together just by smsing one another in school and then going out to town for a movie and meal. Nowadays it's so hard to fit ourselves into one another's timetable.

Nevermind, I love all of you no matter what.

Friday
We were supposed to go to Wala Wala. As usual, I worked till late and didn't feel up to it. It was around seven plus when I told MS I wasn't going to make it. In the end, they couldn't get seats and went down to Boat Quay. Decided to go down and met MS at Lau Pa Sat where I thought I wanted to have dinner but in the end, I wasn't too sure of what to eat. In the end, after much trouble with finding how to get there and waiting for a lot, we went down to the Macs at Boat Quay and had dinner. It was nice catching up with MS and it was rather relaxing walking down the riverside. After that, we went to join the rest (Fio, Rx, XL, Shir, Mau) at Jazz at South Bridge. The last time I went there was with my cousin. I guess it's more of a place to just sit down and listen to music rather than talk. We left at around 11 plus and I nearly fell on the road while jaywalking. Heels. I want to have a job where I can wear slippers.

Saturday
My nose ran and ran on Saturday. Practically slept for most of the day and it wasn't long before I had to set off for Paragon. Met my colleagues for dim sum dinner. It was fun chatting with the girls. =) I guess, interaction beyond the workplace is very important.

We went to HMV and I got "City of Angels" and "Sliding Doors".

That night, I finished watching "Sliding Doors". I liked it. Asked Ben which ending he thought was the ending and he said it's up to the individual to decide. Being me, I chose the ending where she didn't get past the sliding door. If you had watched it before, what was your interpretation?

Sunday
The next day, I watched "City of Angels". First thing was; I got a little peeved when I found out that dvds are coded according to region. I tried some software WW sent and I hope it works. At least I think it does lah. Yes, back to the movie. Nicholas Cage plays Seth, an angel who has to decide between immortality and his love for Dr. Maggie Rice, a heart surgeon. In the movie, angels gather at sunrise and sunset and they can hear music. However, they can't feel. What good would it be if you couldn't feel the wind on your face? Well, I admit that some parts were downright hilarious. Like the part when Maggie asks him for his surname and he said "plate" because he couldn't think of anything else and conveniently picked out the first thing he saw. Some parts could have been better. The story captured my heart until it went a little crazy when Maggie found out Seth was an angel. It just went downhill from there and picked up a little at the end. I loved the cinematography though. Watched it a second time and felt that I could understand it a little better. It's quite beautiful and there are subtleties planted here and there in the film. Very nice.

Do you believe in angels?

Monday
Went out with Mom to look at the fixtures for the upgrading stuff. It was a rather interesting experience and Mom really made me laugh when she did a silly thing like asking this PRC, "You're a China man right?" and saying "Quite obvious accent". (directly translated from Mandarin). Heh. Well, after that, we had a very full meal at Crystal Jade ( I had my dessert and half of hers. The old girl can't eat. Bleaaaahh.)

Today
Meetings, meetings, meetings. Then got slight gastric pain. Came home early. Going to sleep soon. =)
