Reagan…Pls dun arrest me :D

August 31, 2007

After last’s night’s(or morning’s ) 8 hr fone convo marathon with Huiqi…i’m a truly shagged out. Its been awhile since i’ve managed such a long and enjoyable convo…Sadly its on the cusp of a crazy week.

I’ve discovered tat after my Friday Midnight Sales…I’m now facing Saturday Midnight sales with the shop’s closing time extended to 11pm ! Add tat horrifying detail to the fact tat i’ve got a stocktake coming up…and i tink i’m juz about to fall apart. Nothing can make me forget tat 3 whole hours of facing tat stocktake list…ticking and marking every item…ON MY 1ST DAY OF WORK. OMG…

But ok la…it ain’t tat bad…the system’s in real need of tallying anyway…

Recently Our dear Reagan – who has left us in lieu of his NS commitments – has been able to enjoy a certain delicacy by his gf *high quality pics*dsc00673.jpg

Come to tink of it …no gf ever made a meal for me this way…:D

Take care and enjoy ur NS Reagan…next time if u suay suay catch me pls handcuff me loosely ok? πŸ˜€

Long Day; Long Post!

August 28, 2007

A whole day out wif Huiqi….We grabbed some quick lunch of Fishhead noodles @ Compass Point and chatted for almost 30mins. Tat girl cannot finish the noodles omg…:D

After that we bumped into Darren…and accompanied him down to Lvl1 as we were gonna take bus 80 to Bugis’s Haji Lane. It started raining….gd for us coz in the bus it was nice and relaxing…we took a few photos to while away the time…Huiqi’s Canon ixus 70 and her fone’s cam is so diff in the level of clarity and contrast…but sometimes the pics on the fone is better πŸ˜€ Esp those of the evening skies….Lovely!

As we arrived at Gotham Building…we realised tat rain was not sure a nice thing after all. ITS WAS RAINING CATS AND DOGS LA! Stuck!!!! No way out of there and towards Haji Lane…so we stopped and i took a cigg to think…end up???

We decided to make gd of the situation and explore wadever of Gotham Building we could:

guess-where.jpg

We scoured the whole of Haji Lane for goodies…found a few badges and dresses and i comfirmed my Furrmuse jeans @ $79. I found a Number(nine) Tee but damn it was fake. I even made a few calls to comfirm if it was real coz it was a real steal @ $89. Damn! Lol! End up she bought a clutch @ Plucky and a lovely dress @ Monolingism. The lady at Monolingism were discussing abt the landlord and her cute lil toddler’s Eczema condition. And she gave us a free sash to go with Huiqi’s dress….it was just the perfect item for it! πŸ™‚

A pic stolen from 1 of the shops:

I skipped thru the whole lane without spending a cent(except on the Lemon Tee we drank) lol! Whew!

We walked all the way down to Penisular for shoes afterwards and to see Granny’s Day Out. Huiqi exclaimed her love for CK One Electric(perfume for the uninitiated) – i guess her bf shud noe! πŸ˜€ But in reality he doesn’t…sad **Some 1 help the poor fella?* After Penisular we took a cab down to Surrender…there wasn’t much to buy – the item i wanted had not been restocked. So we went to Kobayashi to have dinner! After our tummies were filled and we shopped around to digest, our lovely Ms Huiqi happily grabbed a couple of beers…not even realising tat she’s underaged…apparently she had me figured tat i’d help to buy it. πŸ˜€

So we grabbed the beers…chilled @ a dark corner beside Singapore Power Building and chatted abt her,her bf, life, the way things are and abt tat word :’CLEAR’ tat was sitting abstractly in the bushes. Lol! We took a cab back and Huiqi was so shagged out tat she fell asleep talking to me,slumping across the seat and onto my shoulder – so o.O Another time we were playing John Verdes – Save Me and she felt tat i sang like a jazz singer. A Jazz Singer! OMG…I’M NOT WORTHY! πŸ˜€

Well it sure was a long day but i tink every min was exciting…maybe we could get together again after her exams πŸ™‚

a Fast One.

August 26, 2007

**This post is a compact and straightforward delivery of today’s happening in a less dramatic manner.

I met Huiqi after work and we mauled around town for a place to eat…scouring our options until Heeren, we end up going for something so unexpected yet it was fun(i guess the company matters). Heeren Wantan Mee. Lol! We faced a full crowd and decided to shop ard 1st but still returned only to see the same bunch , unmoving from the tables. The aunties spotted us(1 regular customer *Huiqi and 1 previous tenant *Me ) and instantly moved in to get us tables and chairs…How nice! lol…We had spent the time talking abt practically nothing n everything…and we threw away our *nice impressions* for each other n realli chilled…(ok at least i did…i totally started to be myself ever since we left Heeren) and walked to Dhoby for a train back…We cam-whored on the train a lil…but the shots weren’t turning out rite…well at least we got 1 decent shot. Huiqi! SEND ME! πŸ˜€

**HAHA! Pulled a fast one on ya! How short and bland wud you expect my posts to be? πŸ˜›

Frens are nice to bump into.

August 25, 2007

Another hasty weekend for FLMP…work was normal with the usual highs and lows…Understood a lil more abt Neighbourhood’s Sizing for future purchasing knowledge and bought East Touch and Milk! I know i’m very tight now but some things cannot be saved.

Today’s list of fren met up on the streets was the Shit ! I caught Vanessa(from Daytripper) @ Taka after i grabbed my mags from Kino…she’s still the same ol’ πŸ™‚ and Lester came by to the shop @ 9pm…so we met up after work and went off to Heeren to pick up Mo and fren. We hung around for a lil den head down to somewhere near Cuppage for some grub…me n Lester talking abt design and clothes design along the way…and also a discussion abt advertising…I managed to throw up a quick brainstorm idea for his Presentation for Whatever/Anything’s advertising co BBOB **sorry if i spell wrong i kinda forgot the actual*

After the meal, we walked all the way to Dhoby for our train back…Lester bumped into his fren and we split from there…And Yeow managed to spot me in the crowd! Super long time no see sia tat dude…and he looked so trashed. Due to him clubbing the nite before and total lack of sleep. I wonder how the fuck he works sia…. lol!

wahaha!

August 24, 2007

Huiqi i gonna give this whole post to ya…ok the big part of it actually…The posts in ur blog damn funny la!

I realli loved the licking walnuts pic…kinda like my previous ‘wordplay’ post (its so fucking hard) I tink ur catching the drift! But still….yes i agree, yest’s convo was realli fun…its been awhile since i myself had someone to talk to like tat…and trust me…such a person is hard to come by for me. And as for being a fugly kid…hey i tink most of us were fugly as kids…its juz abt having frens hu actually gave a damn abt each other’s looks anot. I was fat in my pri n sec sch days…having changed tat as i got older…gave me more self esteem and the courage to realise tat wad the others say, is juz the ideas of the others – so fuck them ya?

Hey and u go n post my Chinese Name in ur bloggggggggg, sick la! lol! Your lit teacher is realli interesting…i loved lit and i actually got A2 for my sec 2 Lit classes…sadly after streaming i didn’t get Lit in my package…but still the love for books and everything wordish is in my veins.

My day today was realli hectic…i didn’t stop doing things once i stepped into the shop. It was like walking into a fierce battle midway and having to load ur weapon and bloody learn how to fire it. I had reports to send out, a stylist with 30 pcs of clothes to return and another wanted to loan some…add tat to the sudden influx of customers(thx god for the sale!) and time realli flew. By the time i realised i could go for my break…i had to go for a cigg break to settle my nerves. Luckily Min from Porter International came to take me away! The second half wasn’t tat bad…more or less the same flow as before…but much much much more smooth. A couple of smses from Huiqi and frens and soon it was time to go home~ Lovely day!

A lovely bunch of scarves came in today… Very much the Iraqi scarf as used by the SAS troops in Iraq. It was a sought after item by me…but Ebay didnt sell it…Now I got my hands on it! Gary and I had a great time with it but the fabric had a horrible smell on it(coz its new) ,still it didn’t stop us from wearing it for 2 whole hrs…lol!

There is no need to speak.

August 22, 2007

Its so surreal…standing at Compass Point with a can of coffee, grabbing a cigg in the morning air, looking at the just-cleared sky after a short downpour and Class 95fm chatter in the background. For a moment there…i was happy. Happy to be alive.

It felt like the old days…when i would wake up one fine morning and decide to go camping. Book a pit for $25bucks and throw a tent down, a pail and some charcoal later…i’d be writing down a story, drawing a sketch of a chair or just plain sitting on the sand listening wad the wind and waves gotta tell me. Fuck, those days were gd!

Back to Reality, I’m saddled with a full time job, My own company in the backend…love life’s a mess and i can barely fulfill my own pleasures…but still i’m grateful for the ppl i’ve managed to meet. We dun get tat many Bers , Reagans and Huiqis in my life to make it all a great big carnival everyday do we? πŸ˜€

So why dun we just slow down, turn our eyes and realise….hey, this is it. The moment…gd ol’ moment when u remembered how nice everything used to be…and make an effort to make it feel like the gd old days? Listen to some old skool music, set urself up for a trip down old memory lane. We’ve all been hurt in the past and i’d say we have all enjoyed a gd part of it too. So put aside the perceptions, and chill….see wad you see…as it is and not wad it should be.

rats! *literally*

August 21, 2007

Something hell funny happened today…I thought it was gonna be a peaceful and boring day…but i guess life’s gotta have some lil twists!

A rat(from god noes where…) was running around in Wisma and got scared into my shop by a random customer! The damned thing darted around and den scrummed into a tiny gap by my cashier counter. All this lead to a few frantic crys by the push cart staff outside…telling us tat the rat had ran in… Me and Jick were totally caught off-guard? We were like :”wad rat?” lol!

I made a call to Maintenance and soon the barrage of Cleaners and Security staff were all in…trying to shift my counter. They moved it a lil (5 big guys only managed to shift my heavy heavy wooden counter by 2cm!) and shone their torches…only to discover it was jammed my wires n dust and unable to come out * or more like dun wanna come out* Finally i took a umbrella and stuck it into the gap, making it panic and squirm out! Most of the Cleaners have left and i was left with 2 Security guys…so me n Jick took the broom and dustpan and tried to corner the rat while the Security guys comm-ed for the cleaners to return. It was running from corner to corner and along walls until Jick flipped it high into the air with the dustpan…The bloody thing landed like 2 steps away from my head la!!!! I retreated hastily and it ran into another corner…i was telling the security guys to juz corner it until the cleaners came wif a bag but 1 of them was on all fours and swiping away like it was a demon. Lol!

Finally the rat tried to make a dash for the door but it got stuck between my sliding glass door and my broom. Finale! It tried to squirm again…this time thru a realli tiny gap by the door but the security had a foot on it( literally!) I ended the whole saga by giving it a nice smack straight into an open trashbag. GOALLLLLL! Lol! The security guys cleared the rat….i wonder if they juz threw it into the main rubbish compactor. GG ratty!

Well….nothing else was more exciting for the day πŸ˜€

Somehow in all this gd vibes…i remembered someone…someone hu shud haf come along to the shop today and sealed my day as the Best Day for The Month. but she didn’t turn up. Yes HuiqiΒ  i mean you!

The weather was lovely and everything was dandy…heck i even managed to help Lester tink up of a concept for his project! But sales didn’t make the grade…it was a quiet day for us…Where everyone gone? Hmmmmm….

After work, Raymond, Jick, Anna,Yvonne and Joanne met up and we had some grub @ BK, making cold jokes and basically juz chatting…and guess hu showed up? Reagan! Our am shift personnel for the day…was stuck with his ex-gf. Chill bro….Man he looked so reluctant carrying her bag! Well i could understand…hu wanna help ur ex-gf carry bag sia? Lol! ok nvm…i managed to catch a glimpse of his ex gf’s front view for the 1st time…Decent girl…no other comments.

We walked towards the MRT and crapped and joked along the way…end up having Raymond’s song stuck in my head.Anna Yvonne and Jick took the red line back…only to sit opposite each other…2 by 2 so we end up wif very short and abrupt convos between ourselves…and everything me n Jick spoke we laughed…causing the 2 girls to look at us weirdly and i could only smile to tell them : Nothing. Lol! Such a fun day! For me at least πŸ™‚
