Today, I had the most memorable meal of my life.

Really.

LT and I worked from 9am to 5pm today at some kindergarten tucked away among a maze of soaring HDB blocks. Without for LT and her 'natural flair' for navigation, I think I would be wandering around in Pasir Ris now.

Time was spent creating new decorations, all of which required copious amounts of cutting, glue-ing, painting, taping, wrapping, brain-juicing and blahing. Blahing being talking about how we regret signing up and would rather be watching our fish (fishville), trees (country story), and restaurants (restaurant city) grow on facebook.

Lunch was perhaps the highlight of the day. I would love to say that everything was fine and we all enjoyed a bowl of fried rice, but no. Ravenous and about to eat up the teachers, we were greeted by a bowl of macaroni with peas and bits of carrot, accompanied by a bowl of cabbage soup.

It sounds ok, but this particular lunch has confirmed my suspicions that teachers cannot cook. Everything was, to put it kindly, slightly (not really) on the bland side. Not that anyone of us expected much of kindergarten food, but I really cannot imagine how the teachers and students seem to able to eat such food everyday.

And to think that when I was in kindergarten, I actually looked forward to going to school for the food (Yes, I was a glutton).

I don't think adding a little salt in their food will cost this kindergarten their 'healthy food award', or whatever it says on their website.

What is the world coming to??? D:

Dumb post today, as always.

Events of note
1) Cheapo watch No.2 died out on me. It has now been relegated to the deepest crevices of my drawer, and is spending quality time with Cheapo watch No.1.

2) PP has managed to break his personal record of baking 5 fruit cakes in 1 month.

3) A cockroach that was stupid enough to fly onto MP's arm is now spending its after-life in the sewers.

4) Left foot has grown to be 2.5cm longer than Right foot.

5) I went out with LT.

6) I went out with LT.

7) I went out with LT.

Got an iPod touch 8gb for christmas!!

Went to SITEX yesterday to drool over electronics and gadgets. Its an absolute geek's dream, which means I was kinda living my dream yesterday. Spent some time playing around with the many, many laptops, much to the amusement of the salespeople.

Yes, I admit i didn't have the buying power.

Went to the epicentre booth and almost bought a pink iPod nano, but in the end PP decided that the iPod touch was more worth it.

I walked out of SITEX with a bag of free accessories for iPod. $87 worth of freebies, to be exact. I wonder how this people make money. I got a free screen protector, free earphones, free silicon case, free smartwrap (for those pesky earphone cords) and a free wall charger.

Right now, I'm flapping my arms in excitement and wondering why I didn't get an iPod sooner. I dream of playing TapTapRevenge2 in my sleep.

iPod touch. heh. :D

I think youtube has a lot of interesting vids. Haven't being blogging recently because I was too caught up being bored. According to the description, it's a stop motion film created with 9600 prints, and 1800 shots.

To those who don't know what stop motion is, you have probably been living inside a shell (go google). Its arduous and tiring, but the end results are pretty cool.



Gah. Don't you feel inspired? We should have more of this kind of creative advertisements.

And behind it all, its God.

Nat geo magazine in hand.

Wonderful.

JOY.

Everything you see was actually printed, no fancy editing anywhere. I think. and hope.

A waste of paper and ink, but truly innovative.

AMAZING. love it.

Facebook gives me the motivation to stay awake and not sleep so early.

I having been watching grass grow on country story for the last 1 hour. OK maybe not grass, but purple radish. I am determined not to let anyone on CS with itchy fingers steal my crops.

It's a tranquil and blah-ish experience.

My vocabulary is painfully limited. I know.

Blah is a good goofy word.

It's November. How time flies.

Christmas 2009 is just around the corner, so time for another wishlist! I know gifts and presents aren't the main focus of Christmas in the religious POV, but it adds to the cheery festive mood during the holiday season that all can enjoy.

A wise old quote from the Bible: It's more blessed to give than to receive.

So don't be a scrooge and stop hoarding your precious pocket money for ridiculous items like posters and photos of your beloved Korean idols (you can print them yourself btw). Sheesh.

Christmas shopping for idiots
1) Never buy photo frames. Frankly, they just take up valuable space in your cupboard for the next 10 years or so.
2) Buy things that you think the recipient will like, not things that you like.
3) Daiso, if all else fails. Don't just buy for the sake of having something to give though.
4) Books always work. Most bookstores like borders usually have some good deals.
5) Book vouchers or cards with stored values. I think GV used to sell cards with stored value that you could use to buy tickets, don't know if they still have them.

Seems like i forgot about my wishlist. Maybe next time.

Ahh I remember those brick-like phones. It was an object of fascination when i was younger. And i mean really young, probably when i was 3 or 4 years old. I was told never to touch it lest i dropped it on my foot. I secretly think that my tech obsession started long ago.

I'm thankful that we are all living in a world of iphones, blackberries and what-not.

--------------------------------------------

It strikes me that we might have reached the peak of human civilisation.

The world might just end tomorrow.

How to waste time part 2:
Step 1 - Make your own 3d glasses
1) Get a piece of cardboard, draw out spectacle frames and cut it out.
2) Make sure you cut out the part where the 'lenses' are supposed to be (don't be dumb). Also ensure that you have some way of making your DIY glasses stay on your face. The alternative is to glue it on your face if you are too dumb.
3) Fix red cellophane paper to the left hole, and blue cellophane to the right hole.

Step 2 - Watch 3D videos on youtube
1) search for 3d videos
2) put on your glasses/ glue on your glasses
3) Stare at the screen like an idiot.
4) Try not to drool and poke your screen in wonderment and awe.

Note: You can colour transparency plastic blue and red using markers if you don't have cellophane.

5 ways to spend excess time:
1) Indulge in mindless consumerism like I did. (shopping)
2) Go to Ikea to eat swedish meatballs and turn into one too.
3) Develop a passion for harassing people on facebook.
4) Eat cheese.
5) Sms someone that you like to eat cheese.

With cheese,

I love Saturdays.

I love how you get greeted by half a newspaper's worth of mobile phone ads in the morning. Its fierce competition between the telcos, so you see red, green, orange.

Oh and btw, M1 now sells iPhones.

Today is exceptional, because there is this Sony Ericsson Satio thing stuck on the front of The Straits Times. How attention grabbing. And then if you look at the back of Home, there is an ad that involves a samsung Pixon12, a tiny dog (i feel like squashing it), and a fat guy. Nice combination eh?

Whats more amusing is that the dog happens to be stuck in the Fat guys XXL (or maybe more X) pants.

I should cut it out and stick it in the photo album.

Please don't think I am crazy.

Isn't this song epic? Final Fantasy has the nicest soundtracks out of all the video games. I am a fan of Nobuo Uematsu on facebook now. heh.

I love Final Fantasy music.

Don't you?

Stop lying to yourself. You are an alien from mars if you don't like it.

Hmm blurry pic. Feeling goth today. heh. Matching panda quote bubbles just for the sake of the blog.
