Slacking at home on a Monday.
Haha it feels so.. different. If I was still at work I'd be running around handling the lunch crowd now. Welcome to the new bummer life, Zen. Haha.
Had a sleepover at Charlene's with my Tribe during the weekend and as usual we indulged ourselves in the superfunny episodes of EHB and Full House and ateateate. Haha. On Sunday morning, we managed to wake up at 7am for prata at Simpang Bedok (!!!). And what happened last Sunday? We slept till 11am when we were supposed to wake up at 7am to cycle at East Coast Beach. Lols. After prata, we suddenly craved for frozen yogurt for dessert. Haha! Yami Yogurt!!! But we were at Simpang, at a suburb, so there wasnt a nearby shopping mall with Yami Yogurt (nearest is Suntec City) so we resorted to hunt for it at Shop n Save in front of the prata stall. But dont have, so we resorted to the normal yogurt instead. Lol. Rushed back to Tay's to catch Michael Phelps at 10am. We all slumped on the couch in front of the TV for a few hours watching swimming and beach volleyball and I found myself dozing off after that. HAHA so piggy aaaarghhhh. After that we had roast chicken, bacon and spicy fries for lunch YUMMERSSSS! Ohohoh not forgetting the dinner we had the night before- lamb stew (? I cant remember the proper name for it haha), mushroom-chicken stew (err same here (x ), and devil's eggs! Everything tasted so good *stomach nods in agreement* I am gonna miss eating at Charlene's when she returns to US and it would be different without her when the Tribe hangs out together ):
Sunday evening I had farewell dinner with my Shenton Way colleagues at Ochard's Sakura :D Buffet was yummy too! I attacked the seafood man. Salmon, oysters, mussels! I think half of my dinner was that and the other half was dessert. Lols. They got me a pressie, this red Guess wallet :D When Jimmy handed me the pressie, he was like, "Guess what is it!" and he emphasised on the word 'guess'. I took the hint, since for Maya's birthday we got her a pink Guess wallet and for Reg's farewell gift, a green Guess wallet. "Guess? Guess!" went my reply. Everyone laughed. I opened up the pressie and Maya was like, let's take a pic of the girls holding their Guess wallets in their favourite colours! I will get that photo from Maya since it's taken by her phone! I needed a new wallet man, so the pressie came at the right time. Lol. My birthday wallet from Dorothy Perkins was getting stained ): So sad, only lasted for 7plus months.
Sigh I will miss them so much ):
Oh yes, I'm gonna take up Japanese lessons at Katong CC come end September :D:D:D Hope it'd come in handy when I'm in the tourism and hosp line in future! And I'd be able to communicate with Vic and Sham too since they're taking Jap lessons as well :D It'd be our G Language ahaha xD And we discussed that we can also try speaking Jap in G xDxDxD Walaga talaga shilegi Zelegen delegez! (Sidenote: Reg and I spoke G in Hokkien and Teochew before, it's damn funny I swear) The course which I am taking is only Stage 1 and there are 2 other stages as well. Hope I'll last through all the stages (should be able to la haha)! It's only $80 for 12 lessons. They're held every Monday evening for an hour and a half per lesson. I AM SO EXCITED! :D As for Korean, I'll probably be going for self-teaching since I watch and listen to Korean shows and music more. Gonna head down to Katong CC to sign up later in the afternoon. Hope the rain stops by then! :/

They say that music transcends all borders. I believe that because music is part of everybody's lives. We turn on the radio to chase away the dullness of silence or loneliness, be it at work or at home; music makes us move our feet; songs bring out that singing voice of ours; and some lyrics of songs act as a solace because sometimes they accurately reflect how we feel at that point in time. I second the notion because even though I dont know the Japanese/Korean/other nationalities' languages, I appreciate their music all the same (: So kudos to music and kudos to music bringing people of different nationalities and languages together (:
