A Lovely Day
It is yet another day in the MRT train as yet another women carries her Louis Vuitton bag in a train overpacked with the middle aged working crowds that never question themselves why their still taking the MRT (pronounced as Mert, by a company called Smert). Your occassional auntie-auntie stands up from her seat she painstakingly rushed for when she boarded the train and makes her way to the exit about 999 stops before her designation. The lady in with the LV bag stands in an extremely awkward position, along with her arms stretched really uncomfortably out to grab the MRT pole, obviously uncomfortably.
The song “I’m walking on Sunshine” rings over and over in my mind, especially the part with the introductory beat.
What a lovely day it is gonna be!

New Job…
Work started on Monday at the bank. 5 solid weeks of 9-6pm training awaits. My constant meet-up with friends for drinks after work is taking it’s toil and my dry cough to a higher level of kang korness especially during the little hours of sleep i’m left with when i get home, keeping me awake and turning me into a Zombie the next training day.
The training mates at the bank are really sweet so far, even though they have years of experience in the banking industry, they have no airs or arrogance!
I’m really excited about this Saturday’s photoshoot for Mag’s company’s DnD. It’s been such a long time since i had taken any pictures. This would really reignite my passion for photography.
School starts next friday coupled with the fact that CMFAS exams begin February onwards. This will be a really busy year for me and the road ahead will be gruelling. It’s not whether i can handle it but rather if i Want to endure this hardship. The answer is Yes as this “hardship” isn’t even much compared to how a married man with a family and a job could pursue an MBA.
Cheers to the future.

NYE @ Crowne Changi Airport
I’ll have to thank Jeffery and Buddy for taking the time to organise this event which was smashing fun. The suite at Crowne Plaza was big enough to fit the whole gang.
What left me really impressed was the food that Zach brought. It was a good mix and aplenty, more importantly, he bought and brought them all by himself with the exception of Alicia’s unspeakably delicious pasta.
I was in charge of setting up and the music which i did not do a good job as everyone favours R n B (Yawn) while i am a House person…
Thanks to those who helped set up, and those who cleaned up in which by then i was already too smashed to help.

Be whatever you like
Do you sometimes feel like you are meant to do so much more but circumstances are restricting you.
That your special above everyone else, like a hidden superman.
That you should have been as cool and successful like Johnny Depp but somehow, not, due to 101 reasons.
That the person in the Lamborghini should have been you.
That all grumpy faces who take public transportation are trash, except your own grumpy face which happens to be the most righteous.
I’m sure we all do…
This is to remind myself.
“We can be whatever we want to be by working on it.”

Matters…
Great, been so busy doing things that don’t matter with people who matter, thus it all matters. Met up with the batchies on Monday for KTV, then dinner at some new restaurant at Orchard 313, then it’s off to New Asia Bar. They insisted paying for my KTV bill since I am not working, uber sweetness.
Spent the whole of Tues searching for interesting jobs to send resumes to.
Instant callup for my 2nd job interview that happens on Wednesday which went pretty smooth. A SME investments company that I am deciding upon as a sales personal selling investment products. Will i scare all my mates away with this job, I wonder. Had a chat with the Chairman who is very fatherly and RICH! Might give this a shot. My insurance agent then met up with me to review my portfolio. This knowledgeable and successful person also dispensed heaps of worldly knowledge about the insurance line and how he go rich doing it! *Humble enough to share such knowledge with one of the most cheapskate clients who bought the cheapest package.
Then it’s off to Serene’s place for steamboat with the batchies, fun and games with wicked forfeits that include kissing Serene’s disgustingly cute Shihtzu’s mouth, which is, disgustingly black, slimey but yet cute. And may i comment, Serene’s mom looked like her sister.
Oh yes, Serene really showed her wife qualities, cutting fruits, washing dishes, pouring drinks etc… that’s new.
Happy New Year’s Eve Parties to Everyone =)

Meet up with the Designers
First to Heaven’s Loft, then to Shanghai Dolly and finally to Attica.
The Soup at Heaven’s Loft, heavenly. Pun intended. The fish and chips, coincidentally the cheapest of the main course, is delicious. If ever any of you readers do patronise the place, don’t eat the chicken roast leg dish… it really isn’t the best, or far from it. We exchanged gifts playing the “I can snatch your gift if my number is higher” game and campwhored alot.
It’s amazing how we ended up in jobs asides from designing.

The Romantic City of Milan (Part 2)
” Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life; “
We arrive in Verona from Venice. Tourist infested. The number of kissing couples here are aplenty. We had 2 and a half hours before the last train departs to leave us stranded here, thus the search for Juliet’s balcony was swift and decisive! (To the Batmobile!)
I especially enjoyed seeing the nuns hanging around, they really reminded me of Friar Laurence from the Romeo and Juliet cast.
Interesting fact : Juliet’s balcony was constructed solely for tourists and it never existed. Smart move…
Really could not believe, or even imagine, myself to be standing in these streets one day, while years back, i was seated in my Secondary school class merely reading upon the fictional “events” that happen in the R&J books.
