it's like that y'all

monday afternoon tea break time. as usual this time i don't really feel like working.

1st, it's monday, and like all other normal ppl, i'm feeling monday blue.

2nd, we had our weekly 2hr meeting right after lunch as usual, which means whole morning struggle to complete the presentation. it's just like when u sprint without any warm-up, only this one does not affect my limbs but my brain.

after all, after clearing mails, did this and did that, not much time to work on sth new anyway.

inadequate sleep i had last night didn't help too. i stayed till 4am to watch monte-carlo tennis final on star sports. it was my fav nadal against defending champion coria. it was a replay telecast and for once i was glad they cropped the whole match to only interesting sets, had they shown the whole match i would have still watching when the sun came up.

to my delight, nadal won so u see i'm not complaining.

so everything's good. inluding past weekend...

CY brought me to kovan on friday after work. we had this supposedly famous ponggol nasi lemak near mrt station, judging from the queue and newpaper cuttings pasted on the wall. however, it turned out not as good as we expected. the rice was normal, and anybody could fry those chicken, and the cucumber...well anybody could cut it up like that.

i think ppl just naturally followed the long queue without actually knowing what awaited them, which in this case, everything but nice nasi lemak.

typical singaporean.

on saturday we went for a shopping spree at toa payoh ntuc. i got this 30 dollars voucher from online e-diary survey which i completed last week so u see it was a good excuse to spend abusively (but of course within 30 dollars limit).

with tonnes of vegetables we purchased which could have fed ethopia, we cooked at home for lunch. i experimented long beans dhal curry and CY made this mushroom macaroni dry soup. both turned up well as neither of us had toilet emergency thereafter.

around dusk we went over to gain city but found out it was just an office building, not a shopping complex that we thought it was. disappointed so we proceed to (where else) toa payoh central where we walked around the bustling crowd.

i like this place, it's like a small city within housing estate, so you don't have to actually dress up for it, things are cheaper too, except there are old ppl in just about every corner you lay your eyes on so i won't say it's a candy-eyes place.

CY went back home on sunday after lunch so i completed the day lazying on bed reading this star wars revenge of the sith book which i bought at changi airport few weeks ago. managed to read couple of pages till i eventually dozed off, which kinda ironic since anakin was also about to turn to the dark side.

as i'm not in the shape as i'd like to be, went jogging in front of the block late afternoon. it wasn't hot as it was almost dusk and windy. completed 4 big rounds as usual, ending up feeling horrible as usual, torturing myself just to get that extra fat off.

i loath exercizing.

so another weekend gone. oh yeah, received the cornell microwave too from my company for 5 years service award. haven't think of anything to cook in it yet, so i just dumped it behind the living room sofa.

typical.
