birthday dinner with nic and andre

it’s typically my favourite time of the week, when the week is over and for a few short hours i decide that i will have NOTHING to do. yesterday i got to hang with  nic and andre for their belated birthday celebrations. it was a great evening. audrey, terence, elgin and sherman. we laughed and talked and ended watching 2012.

apart from the food (which was great and oh so full-filling), there was a moment in the evening when the birthday boys got pulled to the stage at HRC and after getting the whole restaurant to sing “happy birthday” to them, the HRC guy got them to start dancing! haha!  the two dudes were good sports about it all!

and here’s the result: emjoy.

morning assembly @ CJC

somehow this seems nostalgic to me

the bug update

so this morning, there was this bug adventure on my windscreen.

see here

and here is the update. i came down to leave the office and found on my roof, a dead, fried bee. and no red ant in sight!

irony (or FAIL!)

i don’t normally take the MRT, but the other day, i took the NE line from Dhoby Ghaut and had about 2 min to stand before my driverless train would reach. so in those two mins, with my iPod on, i looked around. my eyes soon found this:

at first glance, it doesn’t seem anything more than singapore’s favourite tv character Phua Choo Kang teaching singaporeans how to use the trains in a civil manner.

but if you were to look closer, you would find the irony of what was going on:

the ad on the sides of the doors were about speaking good english, and yet right smack in the center of that was PCK going, “don’t play, play” !!!

i didn’t know if i should laugh or shake my head.

and so the debate on singapore english must continue on.

birthdays

october is birthday month. there’s a massive number of people who were born in the month. here’s just a sampling from photos that i remembered to take!

1. Elgin Quek. HRC. it was a great night to hang and chat and laugh and talk. even tho the rest came later, it was eventful.

2. Joel Mok. was a great evening together – talking about the old days (haha, makes me sound super old huh) but i’ve known this dude for 22 years now! and it was a really great night. we talked, laughed, and made fun of stuff, and shared – really. i guess it’s just different when you’ve known someone that long!

3. Fan – back at HRC! poor guy got hauled to the stage. the crowd at lunch that day weren’t that enthusiastic about his birthday, but it turned out ok – at least he now has a HRC story to tell. was a great afternoon hanging out and sharing and talking and stuff!
