I just came back from the bersanding or solemnisation (I think!) part of my neighbour's wedding. Actually truth be told, I was late and I only went down to eat the food. Haha. Oh heres the interesting part which I almost forgot to mention. He (a Malay dude), just got married to a Korean lady. How cool is that?! Imagine if my wife was Miss Korea, the ever so yummy Honey Lee or even the 2007 Miss Universe, Riyo Mori. I have a weakness for everything jap (including their girls!)

I'm feeling kind of shagged out. Its not really due to attending the wedding but rather, the run of about 5km at Bedok Reservoir park just now. Its my first time running there and it was really cloudy and windy then which really made the run pleasurable. While I was initially planning to do a simple and slow jog due to me not wanting to aggravate my oh-too-tight shin and thigh muscles, this dude was irritating me at the 2km++ mark. He was running close right behind me even though I stepped aside to let him past. I did that for about 50 meters until I decided that if he wanted to race me, so be it. He came really close to me for the bulk of the distance, so close that I could hear his footsteps. It really took me all of my effort to increase my speed and I was totally out of breath cause I am not accustomed to running at that pace for anything longer than 2.4km. The good news? He gave up trying to catch up with me at about 80m away from the finish line. I checked my timing from my iPOD and it showed that I took plusminus 20 mins to run 5km. Wow! Even I am impressed.

Ok just an update on my readings. I've finished "Introduction to Jurisprudence" on Tuesday and now I'm about 1/6 though "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith.

I had a touch of the flu just now so I decided to take a short walk at Orchard and find the shop which I bought Mr. Cow so I could buy his replacement. Yes. My dedication to him goes that far. Anyway, it was only when I reached Heereen that I realised that it has been 5 years since I bought Mr. Cow. The shop was unfortunately closed so I decided to take a walk around Taka.

BIG MISTAKE!!

There was a sale at Guess.


And that ladies and gentlemen, are my new pants and long-sleeved shirt. It was on sale! 70% and 50% off respectively!

Oh BTW, OTW to Taka, I chanced by this fruit juice stall in front of Lucky Plaza which I think deserves a mention for producing nice fruit juice concoctions with a satisfying amount of serving which is so unlike MOST fruit juice shows that you go to. Bravo! Here's to my continued patronage.


Strawberry + Banana yummy drink!

I lost my favorite cow keychain just now while booking out of camp. Its something which I had since sec 3 and its unique cause it has "funkyland" printed on the back.

you walked with me through sunshines and rain pours
you were there to keep loneliness away
you've seen me grow and you have grown with me

I miss you Mr Cow.

As the title suggests, this entry shall be filled with pictures. This is due to the constant "reminders" from Alven to send me the photos from my phone so I finally took the effort to do connect my transfer my handphone photos to my computer.

First of all, I'm happy to finally have bought lemon oil for my guitar.

Lemon oil makes for a happy guitar
with moisturised fretboards!

I'm rather happy with my readings so far.








I finished "You and The Law" on Friday




















Just finished this just now

The next text is a dictionary lookalike!

Ok I've just been watching Korean movies and I think its a welcomed change from the conventional English movies. I watched "My Boyfriend is Type B" last week and have just finished watching the infamous "My Sassy Girl". Yes now I suppose that I'm an ah lian. Hahahazz.

It might be myopic for me to generalise and judge Korean movies simply by watching two of them but the similarities are just too obvious for me NOT to take notice of.

1. Both movies have an outgoing and brash lead while the other lead will be a quiet introvert.
2. Both movies tend to be rather consistent in the storyline, choosing to focus repeatedly on the interaction and consequently the actions of the two lead characters. This would be more or less the same, serving mainly to emphasise the characteristics of the individuals.
3. Typical relationship born out of chance to tribulations to happy ending storyline

On another topic together, my fat boys Ian and Hideo have finally enlisted. Hahaha. Maybe they'll become slim once I see them after their two weeks of confinement. Hmm.. Nahh. Hahaha

On the subject of fitness, I'm quite happy with my progress in working out. Incorporating exercise and proper dieting into my life has proved to be relatively seamless and I will try hard to maintain it. I am very tempted to participate in some national running events now, namely the upcoming MILK run as well as the Mizuno run.

Oh and I shall change the song for my blog. Lalalalala

This past two weeks have been rather productive especially in the earlier stages. I have finally finished reading "The Concept of Law" by L A Hart and Last Kiss by the author who's name I can't spell. I'm currently halfway through Fiasco by Thomas E. Ricks and I have to say that it provides a wealth of knowledge on the American handling of the Iraqi war.

I visited the Singapore Arts Museum last Friday and toured the Singapore National Museum just now in the early evening. Singapore Arts Museum was holding an exhibition on Zeng Fanzhi's works and it sure did enthrall me. I loved the way he uses the colour of red as well as the idea of masks to convey his ideas and themes. Despite that, I found the Singapore National Museum to be very interesting due to its interactive exhibits. The old photos were wonderful and I liked the P Ramlee section in the film department. That sure resonated a wonderful nostalgic feeling and made me feel like going out and getting some of his VCDs. Haha

I'm been working out on a daily basis and while it feels good in way especially after losing 4kg, its really tiring man. The worse was the skipping yesterday night. Yes. Plain and innocent skipping isn't so harmless after all. My trapezius muscles are damn tight and aching now man. Think I shall take a break tomorrow.
