A Whiter Shade of Pale

Today is the First Day of Work. Sigh. I dont know what else to say. The free-spiritedness has evaporated completely. We were warned to not take longer than 10mins making coffee. We were warned not to come to work late, not to come back from lunch late. We were warned about disciplinary issues like handphone & mp3 player usage. All these still seemed pretty reasonable. Until they told us they do OT until 9+/10pm everyday. Toilet breaks are rare & infrequently, with the exception of yours truly. No one leaves the office at 6.15pm, with the exception of yours truly. Sigh. I think i'll just start to grow roots into my chair, let my butt melt into the synthetic fibres and then rot in my chair a while after. The work i do is mind-numbing, but weirdly exhausting, considering the fact that there was hardly any physical movement involved. That all I'm gonna say. :(

Nevermind, my week was better spent at SENTOSA with my R85peeps on Wednesday. It was a good break. I hardly thought of anything that was more than 10mins away from the present moment. We were living each minute as it is. I felt liberated and carefree, with great company without any worries of others perception or any other kind of obligations. I love these people. I am so so so thankful for them in SMU. Really. From the bottom of my heart!

RULES: Each person who gets tagged needs to write a blog post of their own 6 idiosyncrasies as well as clearly state this rule.after stating your 6 weirdness you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names at the bottom of the entry. dont forget to leave a comment on their tagboards that says “you’re tagged!” and tell them to read your blog for information as to what it means.
btw, idiosyncrasy means:-a characteristic, habit, mannerism, or the like, that is peculiar to an individual.

Err. Alright, thanks Elvin (my sista-in-crime)! Hehehe. Here goes...

1. I'm a closet naturalist, meaning I like to sleep/walk around the house naked. Haha. (Please dont sue me for indecent exposure...)
2. I sound like a tortured puppy during poledance lessons because I am in PAIN. It fully explains my pitiful whimperings.
3. I can't sit still for long- When i sit on the floor, I'll start to rock back & forth after 5mins. This annoys Wanhua immensely. Haha.
   
4. I'm another closet auntie. I'll notice & cut out most coupons which I think I might use. They come in useful sometimes, but most of the times, they end up getting thrown out after the expiry date.
5. I always look up at the sky and observe the colour of the sky, the clouds or the shape of the moon or even the count the stars when i go home at night. (I like to sing aloud with my headphones plugged in, if i think im walking back alone, haha.)
6. I like to wear skirts because its the easiest piece of clothing to take off. Hahahaa.

Yeah yeah, I know you think I'm mega-uber weird already. Tell that to my friends, as if they dont know that yet. Hahaha. So now, I wanna tag:

1. Sweeeeennyyy
2. Cindy
3. Candice
4. Young
5. Sally
6. Madeline
   

P.S. While TheElvin looks like RAIN(in his words), I'm a newly minted almost-blonde! I have chestnut hair with copper-blonde patches. I look like a JAPANESE. But my brother says I look like a lion. Thanks man.

After all that late nights, I've got an unhappy throat. Bleahs. But anyway, my Saturday afternoon was really lazy. I just stayed at home, whining on MSN about the dreadful weather. After which i proceeded to my Pole Improvers Course. I'm proud to say that I've master the basic invert already. FINALLY!!! The sense of achievement & triumph made me quite happy for the rest of the evening. After the torturous class which made us climb & pose & swing, (I'm aching all over today, ooh & i found a few bruises too. haha), Norman, Rach & Widah picked me up and we went for dinner at Sofra Turkish Restaurant at Shaw Tower. It was nice & as usual I overate!



It was pretty fascinating to see those Thai Singers and performers doing their thing. They are pretty good I must say. But I'm sure the main attractions are the Thai girls who are like the men's social escorts. Most of them are tall, slim and pretty. They can dance and they ooze sex appeal competently. But the men were pretty gross-looking. Middle-aged, unattractive and humsum looking. I wouldnt be able to tolerate dancing, touching, hugging or getting anything near these men who look like they are undressing the girls with their eyes all the time. There was this super hot girl who hopped unto the bar-top counter and danced so alluringly. Shes a natural performer. Well, the general conclusion i got is that, I really cant stand the men who are there. URGH, but other than that, I had fun because in between live performance sets, the DJ spins basically every genre of music. haha. So, i had my RnB & some dum & bass & techno to keep me happy for a bit. But it was a novel experience in a way, since its different from the usual club scene. You can feel the sleaze oozing from every pore of the place but its not to the point where u see undressed people. (You cant dance without having piercing eyes on you. :S) Overall, people (mix of locals and some Thais) are having fun(whatever sort of fun), but its still good clean fun from what Ive observed. Intriguing saturday night spent, but I wouldnt go back there again without older friends.
