Which car are you?

I'm a Mazda RX-8!

You're sporty, yet practical, and you have a style of your own. You like to have fun, and you like to bring friends along for the ride, but when it comes time for everyday chores, you're willing to do your part.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

This is really funny. Leo ever thought of buying this car!!! Heh. I guess I am somewhat like the description, except that I might have more alone time than described above.

Watching Adrian Pang; dining at Coffee Express 2000

Caught The Dresser last night. It's a play put up by the Singapore Repertory Theatre and stars my beloved Adrian Pang. Love watching Adrian Pang act on stage. He's so good, his talent is wasted on TV.

Tomorrow night's the last show, if you wanna catch it.

FY's hubby kopikia is running Coffee Express 2000, this newly renovated air-conditioned food court on Level 1 of Bras Basah Complex. FY is from the RGS class 4/6 gang. I had a great meal dished out by the zi char stall there tonight...

1. black pepper crabs ($16.80 for three. very cheap!)
2. peking style ribs with fried buns
3. sweet potato leaves fried with sambal chilli
4. fried chicken with onion rings

kopikia even has a blog dedicated to his kopitiam. Coffee Express 2000, where all the good things are.

To pia or not to pia

I had a full-day meeting yesterday at work. It's one of those days where you wouldn't schedule any more meetings after. But I fit in a school visit, as well as a home visit in the evening. My colleague heard that and said "eh, you no need to pia leh, cos in future there will be more work to do."

I don't know. I figured I just wanted to get these two visits done with, cos it has been really hard fixing a time to meet with the relevant people. Even if it means having to pia, I also don't mind. There's this whole series of stress management talks happening in quite a few schools in Aug (ie in two weeks) and I really wanted to have time soon to settle the content of the talks and whatever coordination is needed.

It has been only one-and-a-half-months into the job, and I actually feel like I've been at work for much more than that! Seriously, there's so much to do in so little time, I feel kinda tired. The pace is actually different from that at the previous company. I think I was actually more slack then! We had our moments of stress and deadlines, but somehow it was less tiring. Maybe this time I'm into something really new, and while I'm trying to cope with the workload, I'm also trying to learn at the same time. Maybe also because this job deals with lives, so somehow, there's that added accountability I feel inevitably.

I don't know. I'm actually enjoying the job. But I'm tired as well. Maybe it's time to relax and tell myself that since the work's never-ending, let it go. Don't try to hold it all by yourself. Yeah. Don't be too responsible :)

My Celtic Horoscope

You Are An Oak Tree

You are a person of action, and it's easy to get what you want. Sensible and practical, you always keep both feet on the ground. You are courageous and strong - little scares you. A bit stubborn, you don't like change. You're an independent type, and people often wonder if you need them.

What's Your Celtic Horoscope?

This is really weird...apparently you just enter your birth date and voila, your Celtic horoscope is decided! The horoscope actually fits!

about life, in general

Indeed. It's just amazingly refreshing to talk about life in general. The intricacies of love, the mystery of soulmates and how to shop for women like you shop for mobile phones (this last theory, according to beng, as usual...haha.) I'm always amazed at the theories that beng comes up with, amusing but deep at the same time. I hope that, soon enough, he will fall in love with his mobile phone so much that he won't want to enter a phone shop again.

We had dinner at the newly renovated Newton, where at first I wondered why people kept congregating at the rubbish bin nearby to smoke. Then I realised, oh yes, the new no-smoking rule. No wonder.

After that, we left for some soothing jazz/pop at Ritz Carlton. Was surprised to see Louis Soliano (think that's how you spell his name) on the drums. Yay. Good drummer. And beng couldn't resist shooting pix of the cocktails and mocktail that we had. He said: "Those are primary colours leh!" Very observant, indeed. Actually, the pic turned out too dark, but I tweaked it with Photoshop (see pic). That's me and Ethan mummy pretending to have "a casual chat over drinks". Nice.

yay!!! Milubing is back in the running!!!

Milubing is back in the running for Superband!!! So happy!!!
