Change's the only constant thing Dinner starts only after 8 pm and can be as late as 12 at night. Sometimes your first meal and only meal is your dinner. I'm starting to appreciate the feeling of just staying home away from office rather than the bustling crowd in town. beautiful letdown

Blah. I better start back blogging before my blog dies out.
Well, explaination for the lack of time for blogging goes back to the 16 working hours each day.
But no complains about the long working hours.
Personally I've felt that grown up much more and able to think broader.
The few Changes.
Hmm.
Well , for a start I start to browsing reuters for more updates and news on the economy.
Coffee's your best friend at work but dun't overabuse it.
My phone bill's gonna hit the ceiling this month.
I'm missing all my American Dramas :(
L-word, Les Vegas, Legal Boson, CSI, Grey's anatomy
Someone pls pass them to be if u got the dvd sets.
I miss my "2Kgs" that was with me during my last 4 years.
There's nice ppl out there who'll look out for you. Fortunately there's my colleagues and mean ppl which shan't be mentioned.
Shopping is usually possible during the weekends.
Same goes for exercising as well. Definately made a mandatory routine on my weekend to do list.
Though this list may seem to indicate that working life's a bitch, but hey, if u love your job and what you're doing. .. ..you wun't really mind missing all these out.
Cheeros.
Well. There's lots of changes that is going to be coming around these few days.
For a start, I'll be needing a new clean hair cut look. It would not be too short. In fact I'll ask for a trim that makes it look as if I had a hair cut few weeks back. Hope that I do get a get hair stylist for this matter.
Next up would may be some eye brow plucking. Yes I'm being a little bit metrosexual here. But not that close enough for gayhood. I'm just those guys that appreciate the importance of first impression and how greatly it counts. Especially for the line that I would be in. So maybe I'll meet up with Lisa. She's the eye brow specialist which I used to patron last time. Her skills are pretty well honed. Well at least I would think so. I mean like what do we dislike most in eyebrow plucking. Precisely, it is pain. So Lisa does the plucking in the most swift and painless manner and what's more she knows which best brow shape to suit our appearance. Usually appointments need to be made in a day advance to as to fit in to her slot.
So next would be some clothes to add to the wardrobe family. I've heard that Raoul at change alley has a sale upcoming. It's like $200 for 3 sets of clothes. Ya. it's almost freaking Xpensive.
Still pretty much undecided about whether should I spurge that kind of dough on it. People tell me that things like clothes are good investment, clothes maketh a man out of u. Maybe I'll just comfort myself by saying that dun't worry, it's paid for by the government (progress package). Else I guess I would be settling for maybe some G2000 instead. They got pretty some pretty cool selection too.
Pants pants. This I'm not too sure. The best fitted one for me was is the one I've got from top shop. Well maybe I'll check out G2000 and some other areas too. I'll be checking out some straight pleated types. Loose ones then to look bad on me I feel.
So comes ties. I've never underestimated ties anymore. It kind of played an important role in my last interview especially. The one that I wore was "new look" type from Goldlion. It was on offer at Bugis Seiyu. It's grey base with multifacets of grey line gradients. Goes well with the white shirt I wore which was from Raoul. That is why I so luv their shirts. Drool. Patter flair embedded's pretty much awesome and attractive.
Lastly may be some metallic frame specs. Maybe a frameless type. Should be dropping by Eugene's store for this. My plastic frame spectacles probably may not be acceptable. Least that's what friends in similar field cautioned me about.
O well . .Sense a big burnt in the pocket coming -_- ''
Yeah. Gonna embark on the stage of less partying and bumming around.
Finally made it through the last interview at citigroup.
It was for the position educational loan specialist.
They made the offer and I'll be heading down monday to start work.
Well, I'm just kinda quite excited and pensive about how things going to be and hope that I'm up to what's going. Guess aside burnt wkends and long working hours, it ain't gonna be too bad. .i hope.
Today's going to be shopping and haircut day. :D
Weather's bit gloomy though. hmm. .Most probably will just do shopping at J8 today.
Well.
Apparantly one of the benefits of blogging is that it allows us to have a reality check.
On seeing that the my posting frequency has been dwindling, sent a despondant distress signal to myself. I think life has been quite unpredictable lately and a new milestone in life is being set up. Where I'll be and what I'll be in the next God knows 1-2 years down the road, will be determined by my actions this month.
That is why not really in the best of blogging mood to keep up my postings.
Sign .
I hope that things will be settled quickly.
Until then .. . ..
Had a throughly fun weekend this week.
With all talks about politics going around it really tops things up.
One of the highlight of weekend was chalet at Aloha resort.
Thanks to Liting for giving us the civil servant discount rate.
More beers and food would not have been possible if not for it.
Mr Lee and Chen the organizers for initiating and getting things going.
Couple of photos
Another highlight was gathering at Jarrold's place the following day
Thanks to less than 2 hours of sleep, not much liqor and booze was needed to get myself bit drunk. Had couple of great beer games e.g beer pingpong. Polling results was out the same time, so it kept us entertained too.
FYP presentation went well and smooth yesterday.
Surprising one of my most dreaded supervisor was in a damn good mood yesterday.
Usually he would be quite "guai lan" one.
That even he admits it up upfront to me yesterday.
But lightning strike yesterday. He was kinda helping me out even in my presentation and Q&As even. hahaha.
So evening time went out with the guys for celebrations.
Went for some pool and chill out at Balcony.
Ambience was nice, surprising there wasn't many people during their one for one period which was before 9pm.
However, aside a good time yesterday, I got more than what I bargained for.
Allergic Conjunctivitis aka SORE EYE.
Guess my contact lenses attribute to part of it. So so so , i'll be changing over to daily lenses. Cleaner and lesser irritants.
Guess i gotto hibernate mysewith some books these two days. 
Book which I've just finished up.
Luv his style of writing.
Will be getting another of this book "My friend Leonard" next.
However I've just got another book to start on for the moment.
Zadie smith's Autograph man
Hopefully it'll be a good read.
The supreme good is like water which nourishes things without trying to. It is content with the low places that people disdain. Thus it is like the Tao. In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or conceit, everybody will respect you.
nunber 8/81 of http://www.starstuffs.com/taoteching/5-10.htm
Another similar saying would be "Care about what other people think and you'll be always their prisoner."
It's a pretty good statement which I've caught from the book.
Not that it's asking us not to be inconsiderate to other people's feeling but rather emphasis on the point that we're unable to please everyone.
No good will come out if we were to potray out a false persona out to others, just so to gain their temporary acceptance.
At the end of the day, we'll be the one to eventually break down and fall flat.
Oh well .
It's just 7 hours to go before the commencement of my Automation in manufacturing paper.
Here's the ammunation i intend to bring in.
Yesh. Many trees killed.
Most of these notes just serve as consolation to me if u ask. But of coz i know where to refer the need arises.
Time for my pristine slumber. -_-
Got constipation ?
Wan take MC off your work ?
Wan Chao keng from army ?
No worries.

Soya bean drink + Mocca Latte.
Leave and hour interval between before drinking the mocca.
Works like a charm.
U'll see yourself heading straight to the toilet in less than two hours.

Den Arsenal vs Villarreal.
Had this most unpleasent encounter with a lady on the road today with Leon.
He was driving down Yio Chu Kang Gym, coz Bishan one's totally packed out by the rafflesians.
So on the way down at traffic light near Bishan park we halt. It was on a slope and there was a Suzuki swift front of us. Next moment before we knew it, the swift started to roll back and Leon started horning and next moment ... ..Whamp...
Luckily damage wasn't that serious.
But that's not the main issue.
When gotten out of the car, guess what's the first thing she said. 3
BAD MEAN UGLY "Why did you bang my car?"
BAD MEAN UGLY "No, I pulled my handbrake, how can it roll back. U horned after hitting me right."
VICTIM "........." In totally digusted. Almost laughed 
See how far her car rolled back ? And she got the cheek to say we bang into.
Fortunately it was just a minor scratch. Guess the matter probably be dropped.
Only time was wasted arguing with someone who's too cowardly to admit their own mistake.
Ok, I'm wrong. Leon called.
Said the lady payment for damages. Gezz.
And ok. Nvm.
What fuck damages? Even if there's some minor scratches, I'm sure it din't beat Leon's. 
We the victim already willing to give the matter a rest and thought "Alrite probably just a bad day. It's one of those times". And she wanted to make a mountain out of a molehole.
Gross. Gross. Gross
Sign. 8 pages and 28 more to go.

Interesting passage that I've caught this off a book.
The litter is unbearable;
the bottles aren't returnable;
the empty cans aren't burnable;
the sonic booms incredible;
the tuna isn't edible;
the off-shore rigs are leakable;
the billboards are unspeakable;
the slums are uncurable;
the smog is unendurable;
the phosphates aren't dissolvable;
the people unforgivable;
and life has become intolerable.
So this is the school of where I'm learning my french now.

Avoir un bon soir
I do recommend this to U all out there this.
Got it from NTUC couple days back. It's bit pricey, considering 5 bucks for like 12 small packs, and it's like abit blender than yr typical Jack and Jill chips but it hardly adds an additional millimeter to your waistlines.
It's imported from the land downunder.There's least 6 tpes flavour in all.
