459. bang trick

Rant of the day: I'm so broke now...

Last night's sudden downpour shook me up from my bed. The wind was so strong that the entire curtain in my room was "flying" above my head! Oh gosh! That came really unexpected. But then again, it makes sleeping even better. Haha.

I simply love dear's golden retriever. He is sooooooo cute! And since when did he learn the "bang" trick? I was just trying out my luck when he sudden do it! Haha.

Have you watched "200 Pounds Beauty"??? Remember, it's a MUST watch movie! Strongly recommended by Rice! Heehee. Anyway, enjoy my favourite song from the movie -- Maria by Kim Ah Joong. Maria... Ave Maria...

458. sentosa

Quote of the day: A hungry man is an angry man.

Finally, the sun is smiling to Singapore! We can all feel the warmth after many days of heavy downpour. We were so worried that the rain might continues today when we are at Sentosa but phew, alls well! At least I managed to get just a lil tanned then the normal days. Ok, it's really just a LIL tanned. What can you expect from an evening sun?

My weights regime at home seems to work! Woohoo! Well, at least the rest can see the slight increase of bulk on my arms. Heehee... *grin* But there's more to go. By hook or by crook, I must loose weight. Ok, maybe not by crook but am trying hard to watch my diet.

Back to Sentosa today. The tram from Vivo to Sentosa seems pretty nice, except the cabin was a lil small. Something like the LRT but perhaps it's a weekend and therefore too many visitors. First time on luge and it's pretty fun! But what a pity, the ride was a short-lived one. Not really possible to take photos when you are riding one. Wanted to try but I rather not take the risk. The sand at Silso Beach is forever rough. It's such a pity right?

A short swimming and tanning by Siloso Beach and then it was dinner time. Felecia had booked seats at this place -- Cafe Del Moar. The only thing that I can say is that it really had fantastic ambience by the sea. But today was a damn bad experience with them. We placed our order at about 7pm and till 8.15pm, my order wasn't even served! What the heck?!? I've ordered the grilled chicken and perhaps they are still plucking it's feather! Taking into consideration that their menu isn't exactly cheap.

"May I know what's taking so long? We've placed our order quite some time ago."
"I'm so sorry sir but the system had some technical problems and we are trying to clear all orders as soon as possible."
"But why is the other tables being served first when we are here much earlier then them?"
"Oh, their table is smaller so they had cleared them first."
"?????"

It's a similar conversation but what the heck? Your system screwed up is your problem. We placed our order first so get them out asap! I can walk into any big and busy restaurants, place my orders and I DON'T need to wait for more than an hour to get them served! And what do you mean that the other tables are smaller and so clear them first? Isn't such on a first come first served basis? Rule of thumb for those in F&B industry -- A hungry man is an angry man, so don't ever make them more hungry!

We still got our food... more than an hour after we've placed our orders. Honestly, it's way too salty. The alcoholic content in their cocktails are so "generous" that I can barely taste them. Oh well, this is my first and definitely last time that I'm having my meals at this cafe. I rather eat at Vivocity.

Anyway, it's Ruling's birthday! Happy birthday gal! May all your dreams come true... But so sorry, I'm not the fairy godfather who grant wishes. Heehee...

457. 雨下整夜

Joke of the day: It's just another day in school and the mathematics teacher decide to pop some questions for the class.
Teacher : Timmy, if there are 5 birds standing on the wall and the hunter fired at one. How many birds are there left on the wall?
Timmy : None as all the birds will fly away after hearing the gunshot.
Teacher : The answer should be 4 but I like your answer.
Timmy : Teacher, let me ask you. There are 3 ladies sitting on a bench eating a 3 scoop ice-cream. The first lady uses tongue and tickles cautiously off the top scoop only. The second pushes the ice-cream all the way into her throat till she can feel the cone and pulls it out and repeats again. The third lady licks the base of the third scoop closest to the cone. Which of these ladies is married?
The teacher thought for a while and blushes.
Teacher : The second lady.
Timmy : Wrong. The answer should be the lady who is wearing the wedding ring but I like your answer.

昨天的雨下得很大,我的心里也跟着一起下起大雨来。我是个怎样的男朋友?我是好的男朋友吗?

女人害怕男人沉默,其实男人也害怕女人沉默。很矛盾对吗?男人怕唠叨,也怕沉默。对我来说,越沉默我就会越胡思乱想。当她越保持沉默,我就想得越多。而当我想得越多,我就越没有安全感。我的噩梦就是由第三者的介入,因为我上一段的感情就是被第三者的介入而粉碎。但如果她越沉默,我的脑袋就会偏偏的望这里想。再加上种种的小动作如不想牵手、讲话语气、对我烦躁、不闻不问,我会几乎完全没了安全感与自信心。

请给我安全感好吗?不要再沉默了……因为我好害怕……

心理的雨下了整夜,我也没好好的睡。

昨天晚上也和dear,轩安和他的朋友,一起看了南大传播系第三年级的最后作品。有让我几乎睡着的、有拍手叫好的、有内容深奥的、有好兰剧本但大家都喜欢看的,也有趣味十足的。会对我参与这种放映会觉得奇怪吗?其实我会去看的原因很简单 -- 再不远的将来我也会是传播系的兼职学生,而这种放映会能让我对我以后可能要做的东西又跟多的概念。但我还是对广播有比较大的兴趣。

明天会到圣淘沙玩上个半天。糟糕!我还是看起来很!怎么办?

456. s.h.i.t

Rant of the day: Why is my msn connecting and disconnecting and connecting and disconnecting?

Saw this print out that I had got Catherine to help me print the last time when I was still at office. It's suppa funny man! So, get ready as s.h.i.t is coming your way and start laughing now... Haha...

455. 心里旋律

Annoucement: Oh my gawd! You can see me in Y.E.S 93.3 vidcast. Well, you'll need iTunes first to download ya...

我好喜欢这一首歌哦!转音部分很难掌握,但希望能学好了在KTV秀一秀。哈哈!好不要脸哦!送给大家,林宇中在最新专辑《淋雨中》里的第一波主打歌 -- 旋律。

林宇中 -- 旋律

你是眼里的音乐 最动心的歌
你播着全世界突然亮了

多么实在的感觉 望着你的脸
这一刻我到了被人遗忘的永远

在陌生的街 天让我们遇见
像迷路的人找到了回家的路线

你的美丽我要珍惜昨天会忘记
是谁遗失了你我愿陪着你找回(你)自已
当你姓名化作旋律在我脑海里
我已确定那个人就是你
窝在我心里最动听的Melody

454. wake up call

Quote of the day: 男人最怕女人唠叨,女人最怕男人沉默。

Got woke up this morning, not by my alarm clock, but a wake up call from dear. She had got the Spiderman 3 tickets! Woohoo! But how much ah? She didn't give me any details and she's also not replying my smses. Oh well, perhaps she's busy now.

How I can't wait for spidie to sling to Singapore man! I'd watched both the previous 2 episodes and definitiely not going to miss this one. Logan just told me that all the tickets are sold out for the launch and he couldn't get the tickets now! Oh my gawd! That's fast! Looks like the spider fever is about to start soon. So start slinging your way through now!

Tomorrow will be the 100th day since my grandpa passed away. Hope he's doing well up there in another world. Light prayers (I hope) will be done tomorrow from afternoon onwards till don't know what time.

453. i'm out

Rant of the day: I'm so tired.

Don't worry. I didn't jump off the building after they announced the results. Neither did I drank detergent for breakfast. It's just unfortunate that I'm out from the competition but honestly, their written test was super difficult man! Well, maybe difficult for peps like me who haven't hand-written chinese for so long.

Thanks so much to dear who had been accompanying me through the entire event since morning's written test till the result announcement. You must be so tired. Muacks! Love you lots. Also, thanks to Felix and his beau who were also there to support me. It's really greatly appreciated. Thanks to all those who sent sms to support me. But, sorry to disappoint you guys. I didn't make it.


Audition @ Plaza Singapura. Result: IN!


Semi Finals @ IMM. Result: OUT!

The journey from audition to semi finals might be a short-lived one but the experience is fantastic. It's my first time joining a competition that was held on outdoor stage and my first time to qualify for semi finals. In fact, my first time to qualify for semi finals after all my participation in different competitions. I'm happy actually.

But am I trying too hard?

452. 200磅美女

Rant of the day: I'm getting more and more nervous!!!

刚和dear看了《200磅美女》。真得很好看!不愧是韩国10大票房的电影。大概描述一名歌声一流但却重200磅的女生,一直梦想能和英俊潇洒的梦中情人在一起。因为歌声完美而成为歌手的幕后原唱。为了变美和瘦身,她不惜一切的取整容和运动。一年后,竟然变成了大美女并成为了有名望的歌星!可是……她快乐吗?失去了好朋友。不认疯疯癫癫的父亲。她真的快乐吗?

影片笑中有泪。我又是一把鼻涕和一把眼泪的立场了。但是故事真的拍得很好笑!简单的剧本却表达了很多现实能看见的东西。有空一定要去看哦!我在此大力推荐这一部《200磅美女》!

想一想,你会为名利和爱情而放弃一切吗?这一切包括了家人和朋友。愿意吗?大家的答案都是“不愿意”对吗?可是我相信当一模一样的状况摆在眼前时,会有人“愿意”。

脸上长了青春痘,怎么办?!?明天就演上台比赛了!是因为压力?还是因为身体燥热?《明星DJ争霸赛》50强比赛明天就在IMM举行。我千万不要紧张……要加油哦!

451. additional ingredient

Rant of the day: Tomorrow is the day! I'm so nervous!

I think my house is infested with ants everywhere! But the thing is you don't know where they hide and where the heck is their nest. I see them running around at my wardrobe. I see them on my computer desk. I see them on the floor. I see them on the wall. But the nightmare is -- seeing them in your breakfast!

Ok, that was yesterday's breakfast. Mum bought 3 delicious muffins from Tanjong Pagar. Haven't had them for ages. So, poured myself a glass of milk as usual and grabbed a chocolate chip muffin. It was so nice that I have to grab another one. So I peered into the bag and to my horror, the bag was filled with ants and the other 2 muffins have ants all over! Ok, so I not only had a glass of milk and chocolate chip muffin, I also had alot of ants "proteins" for breakfast! How's that? Down goes the rest of the muffins and ants to the rubbish chute. Gross!!!

What a way to start your meal. Haha...

But luckily, that was yesterday's breakfast. Today's bread and jam was perfect. Well, at least I don't get additional ingredients in it.

Anyway, I've already bought what I will need for tomorrow. Let's hope and pray that things will go well. My supporters strength going down because of distance. Oh well, what to do?

450. coming soon

Rant of the day: The weather seems odd today.

It's just a couple more days to the 93.3FM DJ Search semi-finals. Stress? You bet! But I really don't know what to really prepare. Morning seems to be written test. Topics? Format? I have totally no-eye-deer! MCQ? I'm really pray for this. Fill in the blanks? I'll die man. 造句? I can do this. Compo? Probably not right? Duration? Hopefully not like 'O'-Levels.

Afternoon is stage test. What are they going to ask? I still need to do self-intro again right? Do I need to perform? No topics. No format. Everything under the sun! "Be natural. Be yourself. Smile." But I will definitely be nervous when I'm on stage! So many of the contestants are so experienced with stage pressence. For me, almost a big ZERO! My mind betta not go blank when I'm on stage.

I feel like I'm going through 'O'-Levels again. Written test. Oral test. But this time with ALOT of public eyes looking at you doing the tests.

So how to prepare? Read news. Read magazines. Listen to broadcast. Practise self-intro again. Think it might help. Think on what to wear for semi. Too formal? Looks like poly projects presentation. Too casual? Looks like I'm going to market. Too loud? Afraid that I might look like a clown. Too plain? Doesn't suit the competition. I'm going through fashion magazines one after another. Ok, I've got a rough idea on what to wear but hopefully it doesn't turn out bad. I don't need to make-up right? *crossing fingers*

1/5 chances to finals. 10 out of 50 will move onto finals in June. Will I make the cut? I really hope so too.

Wait... Do I need to bring my stationary for the written test? Pen at least?

449. ikea

Rant of the day: My legs are still aching...

Spent half of yesterday at Ikea Megastore with mum. Yeap, we were sourcing for new bed frames and mattresses and what ever other barang barang bargains we can get.

Not only furnitures are good at Ikea, their food are superb too! Love their meatballs. It has a lil taste of spices mixed amongst their meat. Yummy!

Mum is happy with all the things she had bought! And of course, the free 2 years membership with Ikea! Which means we can have 2 free drinks everytime we pay them a visit! It's a life saver when you are like walking for 4 hours in their stores.

Somehow, I feel that I'm not in Singapore when you are standing in the centre of all 3 megastores.

Now, this is freaking funny man! And what's with the red tights dude? Not itchy meh?

448. zoo trip

Side-track: Yeah! I've got a new bed frame!

Zoo trip was fun man! I can't remember when was my last time there but this time, it's so fun! A lil too warm for comfort though but as long as you brought enough water, it shouldn't be a problem. Bring some homemade food too. You wouldn't want to spend there. Thrust me...

Here we are at the entrance. Looks like they've done some make-overs.

Nice tickets too! Think they might make good collectibles.

After some twists and turns, I've got "chased" by some weird tribal men! I quickly hid myself amongst some statues. Spot me!

"Are you up in the tree?", says the monkey.

"Don't ask us! We're lost too!", screamed the otters.

"You might be in my food container.", searched the squirrels.

"I'm busy la. Don't bother me.", nagged the elephant.

"Want to hide in my mouth?", grinned the crocs.

"I think my pouch might be safer." The kangaroo suggested.

"I think you are the second from the right.", said the polar bear.


"I think I saw you, human..." The cheetah stared.


"Hey! Same colour as us!" The zebras smiled.


"Me too, but don't talk to me. I'm sleepy.", yawned the white tigers.


"Why don't you hide yourself in a huge shell like me?", asked the gianted tortise.


"No. I think I can protect him best." Yup, that's my girl! Muacks!

Ok, not so funny I guess but do make a trip down to the Zoo and enjoy some fresh air. They are going to send the only polar bear out once it's mother pass away. She's already 30 years old this year. Way past the average of 25 years. Our Zoo is going to change to a tropics zoological garden. So, we might never see penguins and sea lions again too.

Save the wildlife. Many animals are near extinction and if we don't save them, who will? Poachers? You must be joking... So start by reducing global warming! Spread the message!

447. fat burning day

Rant of the day: I'm so tired...

I think I haven't been travelling so much by foot since BMT route march.

Had walked with mum from home to Bishan Park for a 1 large round jog. Sweat like crazy and the sun ain't exactly friendly today. After that, walked home again.

Then, went down to fetch dear after work and walked out to the nearest bus stop to take service 72 to Hougang Central for lunch. Sushi was fantastic at Ichiban Sushi. Something new and DIFFERENT from Sakae Sushi. Very different...

Walked around a lil more Hougang Mall to buy some stuff for sandwich ingredients. Dear's preparing a sumptous sandwich meal for tomorrow's Zoo trip. After that, walked back dear's place.

Things don't end here. We had a major washing up to do with Boy Boy. Have to wash him up before bringing him to my place. He stinks!

Strolled Boy Boy and with dear by my side, we went all the way from dear's place to my home. Sun was still menacing and in just a short while, we were all practically "cooked". This trip took more then an hour.

Reached home. Gosh... Rest awaits. Dinner served. It was mum's Hainanese Chicken Rice! Woohoo! Delicious but my legs are already aching. Stuck to TV till 9pm before another round of walking comes.

Yes, we strolled Boy Boy back to dear's place. He's shagged out but so are we. I'm not walking home man! Bus trip...

Gosh, I feel like I've just done a day of TNP Big Walk! Guess what? We have more walking to do tomorrow at Zoo! Let's just hope the sun will be friendly tomorrow...

446. results

Rant of the day: 妞妞好像在发情期……

Up comes the webby.

Where is the result?

Ok, here goes... Don't think too much. I didn't perform well that day.

How come that name seems so familiar?

Oh my gawd! I'm in Top 50 list for the Y.E.S 93.3 DJ Search Competition! I can't believe my eyes when I saw the result released on 93.3 official webby. Wanna see for yourselves? Click here and then click on "50强名单出炉". And my name is there! All names in Chinese so if you don't know my name, is "林威". Ok, 1 week to practise for the finals on 22/4/07 at IMM. I must not be nervous this time round. Must gambatte!

I'm always welcoming all who wish to support me on that day! Heehee. Banners are welcome too. Haha. Anyway, it's on 22/4/07, a Sunday at around 10am at IMM. Oh shucks, I need to think what to wear on that day! What to prepare? What will they ask this time round? I'm so lost... Breathe Eric, BREATHE...

Anyway, it's a pretty busy week this week. Lotsa small small events going on. BBQ on Wednesday at dear's place with Angela and Li Keng. We had lotsa fun and FOOD! Eat until I wanna puke. Haha. Too much food le! But it was alot of fun with all these gals around.

Guess what, I've got another BBQ later this evening at Downtown East. It's Elaine's birthday! Happy birthday gal! But too bad that my dear can't go with me. She's down with flu. Take care ok my dear. Must drink more water and rest more too. Weather isn't good this few days. It's been unpredictable, so must take care of your body ok? Promise...

445. holding hands

Rant of the day: Weather don't seems nice to me...

Saw this adorable clip from Blackathy's blog. You will simply go "awwwww" inside...

Awwwwwww, so sweet right? These are otters at Vancouver Aquarium. They are holding hands! So cute! This makes me wanna go zoo. Dear, shall we?

BBQ tonight at dear's place but the weather just seem so menacing...

444. meet the robinsons

Quote of the day: Keep moving forward.

Many of my age might not like cartoons and animations on the big screens, but so happens that I'm a BIG fan of such movies! Can't remember when it exactly started but definitely when I'm still a young kid.

Till today, I still can't resist the temptation of buying tickets to animated movies. Just came back after watching Meet The Robinsons. Dreaming of going to the future? Thinking of how things will work out in the future? What about travelling back to the past? Let's just remains all these as dreams and let nature takes it course.

It's actually a pretty touching story about an orphan, whom was being abandoned by his mother when he's still a baby. A young and innovative inventor, he created many messes which led to many headaches by the peps around. By the age of 12, he was still unable to be adopted. Just an unsuspecting baddie and a young boy from the future changed his life.

So, take a good look around you and start to appreciate. Cherish every moments of your life for you might not know what will happen in the future...

Anyway, BBQ on both Wednesday and Friday. Gawd! I feel fat! But who cares? Haha.

443. spring or summer

Rant of the day: I'm so fat...

Is it still spring in Singapore or has it turned summer? Well, had asked dear yesterday while we were doing our window shopping. Actually, it's both spring AND summer. Most of the stores are changing their stocks to spring/summer collection. It seems that there are some changes in the colours for tops in this month. They had removed the pink series and right now is the season for blue for ladies and either white or green for guys.

We were so desperately looking for Pizza Hut yesterday when we realized that there's only one in Plaza Singapura! But their pizzas are not too bad. Maybe is that we haven't had pizzas from them for quite sometime. But their wings are still delicious as usual. Good thing about the service at this outlet is that they provide commendable service.

I'm still jobless and not-so desperately looking for jobs. Taking my time but if anyone would like to recommend any office hour job, please email or MSN me. Heehee...

442. 失望表现

Rant of the day: I'm so disappointed.

我对我自己在今天的“明星DJ争霸赛”中的表现很失望……

一上到台上就突然脑中空白了一下。把原本写的稿都忘得七七八八。好在尽量能讲多少就算多少,没结巴就不错了。

一切就看下个星期五的成绩,但希望渺茫。自己以不抱太大的希望了,因为希望越大,失望就越大……

441. 清明时节

Rant of the day: It's super scorching man! So hot...

清明时节雨纷纷,
路上行人遇断魂。
借问酒家何处有,
牧童遥指杏花村。

今天是清明节,您去扫墓了吗?刚从光明山回来。和妈妈一同祭拜了外公外婆后,就到了超市买了一些晚餐需要用的材料。清明节不是应该“雨纷纷”吗?怎么今天好热哦!

光明山里人山人海,但发现大多数来祭拜先人以年长人居多。年轻一辈的都似乎不是很注重这一个节日。有时候,一些华人习俗还必须靠大家地努力才能继续地流传下去。如果年轻者不学一些这一类的知识,以后这种民间习俗就真的会失传而消失无踪。

就在祭拜时,大家念念有词。我也有样学样的祈求外公外婆保佑弟弟在文莱一切平安、妈妈健健康康和我在这来临的礼拜六的试音会一切顺利。妈妈在祭拜的过程中,也不知为什么掉了几滴眼泪。看了我也一点心酸。外公过世也将近百日了吧。多少都会怀念那慈祥模样,但尘归尘、土归土。人们都必须走过这些阶段,就用在怀念中……

好啦,别再伤悲了。Let's move on 吧!加油!

440. homework

Rant of the day: I just couldn't get my lazy butt to run.

I've wrote my self-introduction script for this coming Saturday's audition. No matter how I read them out, it just feel so boring. Gosh. What to change?

Also, I've done some homework by imagining myself as the judge and what will you ask the contestants. Gracias to Angela for giving me extra questions to get myself more prepared. I'm trying to be saying out those stuff that I've wrote in a more relax method, rather then feeling like reading scripts. I've got to be relax.

Just hope that everything goes well on coming Saturday at Plaza Singapura.

439. 准备比赛

Rant of the day: What a rainy day! One downpour after another...

现在感觉压力越来越大。心中一直在想着要在比赛中讲些什么。

身旁关心的人几乎每一次见到我就问准备进展如何。问着问着,一次两次,渐渐的就问到我的压力出来了。如是问候也还好。但越关心我的人,问得就越多。然后从关心的问变成了责问,再加上日子的逼近,好想把头发都拉出来。又不能对关心我的人说“shut up”,因为无论如何,一切都出自于关心。怎么能对关心我的人大小声呢?

但真的希望大家不要再对我施加压力了。要现在需要的是鼓励,勉励和支持。如要提供一些建议也很好。

大概心中也已有个谱了。当天该讲什么?穿什么?心里也大概有了一点概念和眉目。从dear买的I周刊上知道要表演才艺。我不会弹吉他,也不会跳舞。我很会吃,算是才艺吗?开玩笑啦……似乎只剩下唱歌作为才艺表演了。对在陌生人面前唱歌也有一点担心,怕一紧张起来,声音的range从很广变得渺小起来。要唱什么歌呢?

一切的准备要到了比赛那天才看得到。怕只怕会因为紧张而讲不出话来。我是那一种因为紧张而结巴起来的人。别看我平时叽叽喳喳,喋喋不休的。其实我很容易紧张。希望我不会太紧张吧……

438. shopping

Quote of the day: Nobody is perfect. I'm nobody.

It's raining cats and dogs now and comes with thunder and lightning. So peps, please be careful when outside. Run for shelters.

Luckily, yesterday evening wasn't like this. Dear and I had done some serious shopping yesterday at Bugis Street. I bought a total of 2 tees, a shirt and a pendant which comes free with the shirt. All cost me in total $33. I'm not joking, it is $33! The tees were going at $15 for 2. Think they are going to change the collection series. So, bought one for me and one for lil brother as a farewell gift, since he is leaving for Brunei for 6 months. The shirt, together with a dog-tag shaped pendant, caught dear's eye while we were walking pass a shop. The guy promised to give us the pendant for free if we buy the shirt that was only going for $18. Quite a bargain right? But I will not get the pendant free without dear with me. Gals power with male sales personnel. Haha...

Dear bought alot more then just these. I think she spent almost $80 but for ALOT of stuff! She bought 3 pairs of stylish earrings for a mere $5 and 2 brightly coloured bangles at $3 each. Grabbed a cool sling bag for clubbing at only $10 and honestly, it is pretty nicely finished. 2 tees with funny prints at $20. A make-up pouch with embossed prints at $4.90. Last but not least, a new arrival blue top at slightly higher price of $34 after some bargaining. We didn't go for more bargaining as stocks just arrived yesterday. Paiseh la. So all these at under $80! We done some brief calculation, if we got all these from town, it will cost her at least $130. Ouch!

Bugis Street, still the best bargain heaven...

Ok, that's a long time since I've last shop for myself seriously. I've been buying stuff but not for myself, so it's been a rare day where dear saw me buying clothes for myself. Haha. But as it's so cheap to resist, might as well... Oops =x

From papers, there was another round of huge waves at somewhere near Australia. Tsunami attacks again. The globe is changing. I can't imagine if tsunami ever hits Singapore! We WILL all be drowned. There's no place to run! What? Bukit Timah? But what's lucky is that we are quite nicely covered by our neighbouring countries. So chances are minimal.

437. unpredictable weather

Rant of the day: Why I can't login MapleSea?

The weather this few days are super cranky and unpredictable. Scorching for the entire morning and then sudden downpour. Temperature rises and drops like stocks and shares. Alot of field trips cannot go as planned. Like yesterday, swimming was being pushed back to a later timing because of a morning rain. Zoo trip have to be cancelled as timing isn't right.

Is it April Fool's joke by heaven?

So what to do since weather is like this? Shopping in malls of course! Rain or shine, it's a perfect shelter. Dear managed to get her gym ball. Also, another pair of Charles and Keith shoes. I came home without purchase but not empty-handed. I had a copy of Juice magazine! Haha. No job = no money = no purchase. Sobz. We met up with Arina on the later part of the evening after dinner to have another round of shopping.

I'm planning on what to say on the coming DJ audition this Saturday. Getting a lil nervous but still manageable. I'm also not sure on how will the audition be conducted. Outdoor stage? Indoor room? What do I have to do or say? Do I need to perform? It's so not like singing competition where you know what to prepare for. Just practise either in bathroom or KTV room. I'm abit lost on what to do. I'm going to adapt the go and see at the early part of the audition day to see how is it being conducted and get myself prepare on the spot. Which means, I'll need to reach there early. Will there be a long queue like Project Superstar?

Crossing my fingers and hope I can pass through the audition. Pray for me too ok?

BBQ on Wednesday at dear's place was cancelled also. Not by dear but her dad. Some temple trips for her I suppose. Oh well, we can always have other days for BBQ.

Saw this awesome clip from YouTube. The drawing was done on a MS Paint! Oh my goodness! Crazy! Try it if you can...
