nice? a friend recently bought tis house.. in washington. sigh... doubt i'll ever be able to afford one such as tis. though, they don't have such in sg either, we're too urbanized here. where can we see a road with a stretch of such houses on both sides? with neighbours chatting away in their gardens, children playing together, people walking their dogs... nowhere, not in sg. guess we're too private as well.
he just bought a mazda 3 not long ago too. i think i should look for a job there. maybe i should start off by applying to be his maid, lol. jus imagine, you're just about to turn 27, u already own a nice house and car. such is life... sigh. damnit! i should have been his gf last time!! tsk!
ok, i shall start saving money to go on a trip to the states again. i've got an invite to stay in this nice hse in washington! then i'll go NY to bunk in mister aa's apt (havent ask permission yet) haha...
after a long while, she is finally back with her new album! kinda a new image, though still with her signature blonde locks and smokey eyes. she's more colorful now lar, haha. sporting color streaks in her hair, wearing brighter more colorful clothes, and most definitely, we can tell from the album cover itself, its white, pink and all... a far cry from days when its always black, black and more black.
have only heard the album once over so far, its not bad, though i feel its not as good as her previous ones. maybe it'll be fairer if i give it a few more listens before concluding. anyway, check out tracks like 'hot', 'when you're gone', 'keep holding on', 'girlfriend' (which has a pretty entertaining mv). its less angst and anger now, afterall, she seems happily married to her hubby, sum 41's deryck whibley. along with her hubby, the collaborators in the album includes butch walker, travis barker (formerly from blink 182). she shows us a more mature and fun side of her.
i don't know if its jus me, but she gives me an impression of gwen stefani now, haha.. maybe it has to do with all the colors!
i cant wait to get my hands on this show. it is gonna be screened in sg, but i doubt the sg censors will be linient with the cutting of scenes. so i'm waiting for tw to release the dvd!! has already told ricc to get me a copy when its out, keke.
yes, the song playing on me blog now is the theme song of this show. for more info, u can check out their blog site: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/spiderlily :)
so i've been turned down from a job coz they find me over-qualified! wat a nice way of putting it huh.
frm my insider source.. basically its coz they think since i'm kinda a boss, i wont be able to take instructions and adhere to their 'commands'. heard tat a few of them frm the team are pretty bossy, and i did state during the intereview tat i don't take instructions blindly, i do have my set of thinking as well. but everything is open for discussion, if by the end of the day, it is concluded tat their way is better, of coz i'll go with their way rite? i think what they need is a robot, or someone without a personal set of thinking. apparently, the previous ger left coz she couldn't get along with someone from the team.
sigh... see, i knew its a bitchy team. i sensed high tension during the interview with the 5 ladies last week! 5!! i'm not kidding, like as if i'm interviewing for a CEO position, hahaha. oh well, i'm better off without it! :P
I'm currently watching tis taiwanese drama now... and below are the few scenes/dialogues would made me sob. maybe to a certain extent, i relate to it, but still... its nice!! nice show!! must watch!!
so i went for yet another interview tdy. 5 of them interviewed me!! woah... was there a need? 1 from HR, and 4 frm the mktg team, of whom they'll be my direct colleagues if i get the job. it happened to be all females. felt alot of tension in the room, and they appeared to be rather bitchy, haha. i've got insider news tat the prev ger left bcoz she couldn't handle one of them, coz a few of them are apparently pretty authoritative.
sigh.. i hate office politics. and i tink i work better with guys, haha. jus find they're more chin cai n not so bitchy :P so tired of interviews liao. comon, just give me a job i like lar! those i dun like offer, those i like, dun call back! *sniff*
so last nite was the newfound jealousy launch concert which i mentioned a few posts back. it was brilliant!! been a while since i last heard shirlyn, and she is as much of a powerhouse as she has alwaz been. the place was packed!! crowd was good, songs were good, band was good, vocals were awesome! though it was freaking hot last nite, like a sauna.
do check out her website: http://shirlyntan.com, to hear snipplets of her songs. all original and written by her ok. dont play play :P her events, gallery, bio, etc. let me mention a few of my personal favourite tracks from the album: window, newfound jealousy, couldn't we try, you, verena, walk away... hmm, i seem to be about to name the whole album isnt it? hahah, aiya!! jus check out the album, its goooood!! its available in the music stores now!
for those who missed the concert last nite, there is still another launch event at timbre on the 14 apr. do check her out!
SL and i attended the spinning class in gym yesterday. i can say that my legs r officially dead since. and the thing is, i didnt even complete the whole session. i went outta the class during the 3rd cooling down break, on the pretence that i'm going out to the cooler to get some water, and i never went back in! LOL. i couldn't feel my legs after tat -_-"
yes, the hectic week is finally gonna be over. i actually just got home from a movie with ruok. haven't been to town in the morning for soooo long, much less watch a movie at such an ungodly hour, hahah. the cinema was pretty deserted. but oh well, ruok has other commitments later on, and this slot was the best choice
i shall now go roll in bed n read my overdue novel, n will prolly fall asleep after awhile. i so lack sleep now. i woke up at 9am on both wkend mornings! WHY?!!?! wat is happening to my body clock? i'm suppose to wake up after 12 noon on wkends!
went for a movie w J last nite. it was our first date!! we haven't met for a very loooong time liao, haha. think almost a yr. but no, dun think otherwise, we're jus platonic friends, haha. i got into a coughing fit halfway thru the show. terrible!!! had to lve the theatre for awhile to cough it out, i dun wanna be the center of attraction in there.
anywayz, after the movie, J said his colleagues sms-ed him that they striked 2nd prize for 4d!! wahhhhh, so heng!! i happened to buy oso lor, how come i never win leh!! so unfair! HUMPH! tis also explains y i jus put 'J'.. i scared ppl know who he is, later go blackmail or kidnap him, LOL.
so, J said he'll treat me to some good food for dinner (read: good food doesn't have to be expensive food). so we headed on down to bedok!! haha. i'm actually on a diet now, but oh well, since he insisted, hahahah *excuses* we had bak chor mee, sambal stingray n friend carrot cake. not alot lar hor?? *blink blink*
early morning tdy, i woke up at 7.20am!! hahaha, its early for me k. think its one thing i gotta adjust again when i get a new job. its been so long since i last woke up early to go to work. how long?! 5yrs!! haha. anyway, went for an interview lar. not too bad. had good vibes from the 2 interviewers. one was a jap, who did pretty much most of the talking. wah lau, i was really straining very hard to understand his engrishhhhh, 'anooo, sot whey did ceuu apply fo ae job aht xyz co??' *faintz* anyway, the office looks nice, i like the jobscope, so.. hoping they'll call me soon.

well, tdy's my bro's ROM day. yeah, it was pretty ok. other than it was very hot, and i was wearing my 3 inches high heels!! it was a pair i bought some time back, but never got to wear it. felt it goes pretty well with wat i was wearing tdy, so i tot, y not?
in the end, i was walking around under the hot sun, with MUCH difficulty in those heels, climbing hills and steps taking photos :| i sat thru most of the nite during the dinner buffet at the hotel, hahha.
i guess i over-estimated myself. being someone who usually wears slippers/flats, i couldn't handle it! haha, so i came home walking like a crippled and having blisters as presents :(
