An eventful saturday nightIt was such a fun night! Although the earlier part was a little awkward (well.. i tried my best. How do you face an ex's gf?), I love the late night chat! The conversations were so interesting and hilarious and time just whizzed passed. Amazing company there... Interesting how everyone managed to come together from all over the place and get to know each other just because of one person. I'm totally blessed to have such friends, sometimes I even wonder what I have done to deserve them. Really grateful.
And so we finally dispersed, quite reluctantly, as least for me. I reached home at ard 3am thinking of just having a quick shower and sleep till the next day.
The moment I closed the bathroom door, I heard a sudden gush of water outside the bathroom. I was wondering if it's my sis at the tap washing her hand or smtg.. but sounds like she's using an abnormal amt of water eh? So I opened the door to check out what she's doing... and to my horror, I saw a huge volume of water gushing from the water hose! It won't be long before my house flood and I can so see the figure in our next water bill.
This can't be real, can it? I tried to woke myself up from my sleepy state and rushed back to my room to look for my specs while informing my sis of a crisis in the house. She went to woke my mum up, and I hurried downstairs to switch off the main water valve to my house. Wasn't an easy job for me though, since I haven't done it before so I don't know which one of the four valves down there belongs to my house, and exactly which part of the spindle should the spanner be placed at to turn the valve. Thinking back, I was really stupid lar. Isn't it obvious which part of the spindle should be turned? Furthermore, it doesn't help that I was given the wrong information on which of the four valves belong to my house... so I think I spent quite a bit of time turning off other houses' valves. Thank goodness it's night time and everyone should be sleeping.
For a while, there's this sense of deja vu that this could very well be a mini version of what could have happened at my work place. So that's the kind of panic/timeframe it could have been. Sou desu ne.
Hence the crisis is temporary resolved, and I had to bathe using the water collected in the pails. I didn't know I could shower with only 1.5 buckets of water! I always thought I need at least 2 or 3. This totally feels like water rationing.
Oh well, hopefully by tomorrow we can get a replacement hose so that we can resume our water usage normally.
What a night.

既轻松又温馨的空间有些人喜欢到pub里听摇滚音乐，而我则找到了一间自己喜欢的风格的 "pub" 。
已经听说过这个地方好久了，想去看看也有好些日子，昨天终于有机会去体验一下，所以非常兴奋。虽然和一同去的同伴不算很熟，不过还是因为找到了自己喜欢的地方而过了一个愉快的晚上。真正让我喜欢的地方，还真是不多呢。
好啦，不卖关子了。这个地方正是大家常听到的民歌餐厅-爱琴海。表演的歌手，吉他手，键盘手都好有才华哦！歌手还得兼主持人，娱乐观众，太厉害了。小小的舞台，却洋溢着无限的才华。每当看到这些表演，我都不禁的感到羡慕，也因此非常欣赏。整晚就好像在听演唱会似的，不过气氛却又那么的轻松，逗趣。昨天若只是我一人的话，想必会坐到它打烊才肯离开。
或许是因为找到了喜欢的东西，特别开心吧？昨晚被批评说‘奇怪，不知道为什么，今天你特别high’。老实说，听到的那瞬间不怎么好受。我和你不是那么熟吧？你又知道这不是平常的我，为什么说得好像我今天很奇怪。不过想了一想，正是因为这个原因所以会有如此的批评吧，所以不应该放在心上。就说了嘛，我不是很喜欢和不熟的人聚会。收敛点会被批评孤僻无趣，放开点又会得到奇异的眼神。
撇开这段小插曲，昨晚还是非常愉快。一定会再回去的。下一次，必定要找些比较知心的朋友同去。=）

Overheating AGAIN!I'm getting frustrated with my laptop. It hibernates on me every 10min!! I couldn't even watch each part of my korean drama in peace w/o it getting cut off halfway. It's driving me mad!!
I'm going to seriously think about getting a replacement. I thought I had missed the COMEX fair.. but looks like there's gonna be some sort of special staff promotions!
Too bad there's no Apple Promotion though. Otherwise i may consider buying smtg pretty. hehe.. The choice is btw Fujitsu and Toshiba. At least both reputable brands. So should I go for a normal laptop, a tablet PC, or a mini?? hmmm...
I need more cash!

It's nothing complexToday at work, I was talking to a colleague - who is already a mother of a married daughter. She was asking whether I watched the show '今生注定我爱你' on TV. Of cos I did, in fact, I've already finished watching the show last year.
Then she told me.. she likes to watch these kind of shows very much, because it always melts her heart to see how devoted the guy is to the female lead and how well he treats her.
And she says... no matter what age you are, it's still the same. Woman are just such simple creatures.. why don't the man understand?
To which my reply was... I think they understand. They just don't really care.
