FAREWELL! Dance your heart out dudes!
Tuesday, 30 June 2009
 Fred and Clem are leaving for Prague tonight to represent Ensemble in an international dance competition. So, as friends in support of them, we've prepared them some presents - one of which is a drawing for each of them, at the back of which we'd scribble our wishes. As for the other presents, shall update tonight lest Clem or Fred are still lurking around on the Net instead of doing last checks on their baggage. :P Fred, this is drawn with the lovely colour pencils that you gave me for my birthday. I really love them. It's the first drawing that I've done with your art supplies, and this won't be the last. Thanks so much for reminding me about the haven that I find in art, it's one of the best presents that I've gotten. (((: It's been, what, 2 years since I last drew a sketch in colour pencils? I hope I've still retained some of my skills, while I don't expect to have the same eye for detail, speed and technique. Hope you guys like it! All the best Clem and Fred, dance your heart out! Enjoy yourselves while you're there, where the heat and humidity don't escalate to unbelievable levels.

Kinky Shoes Arrive
Tuesday, 23 June 2009
Arrived a week after my birthday, like 2 days after Red Dot. Quoting verbatim from Weiting. "I love your shoes! They're so kinky!"

Red Dot (birthday celebrations cont'd)
Saturday, 20 June 2009
 We went to the Red Dot Brewhouse on the 5th of June, after unabashedly claiming the long awaited treat from Dearie at Red Dot. He had promised to bring me there "one day" whereupon that quote was uttered about 2 months ago. What a right time to bring it up again! Hahah. For those of you who don't know what is so special about Red Dot Brewhouse, here's a little intro for you. The Singaporean owner, Ernest Ng, had met 2 South African soldiers while on a family holiday at the Kruger National Park in 1998. They offered him a bottle of beer, and was told that it was a home-brew when he asked what brand it was. Later on, he went on to a homebrew shop in Johannesburg where he chose some ingredients that were packed into package with a single RedDot, and that began his foray into beer-brewing. Since then, the brews, as well as the well designed restaurant @ Dempsey Hill have received numerous accolades. I saw a rainbow on the floor, where sun shone through the glass at the busstop.
It was in the morning, on the way to work.
 For this day, I wore this dress that I bought very long ago while on a shopping trip with Mo, and we both have the same dress. It's a uber pretty, flowery, lacy dress. In fact, the whole dress is covered in lace. Instead of looking frivolous and bimbotic, we both thought the dress was awesome in its wholesome vintage-ness. My new shoes hadn't arrived yet, so I was wearing my worn down red leather heels, and the dress on clinched at the waist with a large brown belt. But I don't have a full length picture of myself from that day.
We arrive at the restaurant to where a huge red balloon greeted us.  This way please.   The romantically lit entrance.  The house of the brewing gizmos.  I just love this shot.  Effect achieved by placing napkin over flash.  RedDot Lime Wheat and Monster Green beers. The Monster Green was good.  They have lanterns that seem to hover above the paths around the compound. It is really pretty!  Von and Freddo arrive after Kate Willis class. They're ravenous.  Perfect for cheeselovers: Xuzi's order was the classic 4 cheese pizza - Quattro Formaggi. No meat served.  I was dying to have mushrooms, so I ordered Pollo - BBQ chicken, mushrooms, onions and bell peppers.  Von's Pumpkin Lasagna. Soozey said the baby spinach topping was a forest of weeds that he'd never touch, just while Fred was gasping at the same said "forest" in envy.  Fred ordered Duck Confit. Apparently the right way to say it is [con-FEE!] with the FEE! sounding high pitched and nasal. I told you. He's hungry.  Our order.  That's a tower of beer that't not ours. I'm just showing you this shot to show off this picture. I love my camera, muahaha.  We also ordered a basket of juicy, fried Shitake mushrooms as appetisers, being the funghi-lovers that we are, and stopped ourselves from finishing them all before Von and Fredo came. But oops, it was gone too fast for the camera to snap a decent picture of it. Just order it if you go there!  We ordered another jug of Czech Pilsner to quench our thirst in the sweltering weather. I think by this time I was a little sleepy and light headed from drinking beer like water.  Czech Pilsner is a really great drink, smooth and light hop (whatever that means, lifted off the website) I shall order it if I ever come back again! And for those who are looking for nice places to host their birthdays at, this is one great place that I'd recommend. There is a little yard where the grass patch is alternately tiled with huge stone tiles. The ambience will be great whether in the afternoon for tea or at night for socialising activity. But I believe the cost is a little on the high side. As always, it's a great time with the intellectual jokers. I love your company!

Gadgets for the endless office hours
Wednesday, 17 June 2009
I was browsing Firebox.com and started looking for gadgets that'd relieve me of the painfully long hours I spend in the office staring at the computer. Of course, that'd be great if we have some of them placed behind the receptionist counter to entertain us poor SAs on duty, heheh. So browsing all those nonsensical gadgets sort of brightened up my terribly gloomy day that started with a lady stepping on my foot with her heels and then looking nonchalantly at me. I really felt like asking, sorry did I hear something? Wahraus. Aggravated by the fact that I already can't walk properly because I idiotically walked into the glass doors at Danzpeople @ PoMo. (yes capital M so that it does not read as porno, credits to soozey :P) To think that I had already spent enough time at the new studios to know that their doors open INwards, not out like the usual glass doors. Argh. Freaking embarassing. I'm not the only one to do that. They've had people trying to walk into the studio through the glass walls and doors at the reception area. Double ARGH. They really should do something about all the glass, like some floral decals that match their card boxes? It'd look pretty enough. So, here are my picks for some of the rather amusing, albeit useless gadgets:  Desktop warfare in a class of its own. Instead of arming yourself with crushed waste paper and ambushing your colleagues, arm it with collateral that you can fit into the catapult, and go! Best of all, it won't look like you've just thrown the offending article. Target will not know. But, your neighbours just might. :/ *gulp* Desktop Coffee Maker: Aromatic beverage brewed in front of your sleepy eyes at your table!  Ok I got to admit that I really love this. I love my caffeine. This thing is small enough to fit on your table, just next to your monitor, and it is much more affordable than the thousand over dollar baby at Takashimaya. If this was at my table, I think I'd be having like 6 cuppas a day.
You can brew a cuppa for your colleague in the neighboring cubicle too after catapulting, and use it to blackmail him from tattling on you. 2 black mugs included.
Cube World: Let's Stack!   Were you crazy over Tamagotchi? I gotta admit, I was, and I wasn't all that crazy over the newer generation called Digimon. Each cube is inhibited by a little pixelated figure of a man, and each cube man has his own specialty/job. If you stack them together, they enter into each other's world and interact! Buttons on the front of each cube allow you to control your virtual stick man to do everything from kick ups and pull ups to snake charming and juggling, but he will also entertain himself depending on his mood. That said, it goes on to say that each cube is armed with a motion sensor so he can respond to shakes and slides. On a particularly rough day he might bang his head against the wall, talk to Ralph on the great white telephone or shake his fist at you.
USB Whack-it: Ready, steady, WHACK! Self explanatory enough I guess. But because it's connected to your computer and its a desktop game, this miniature version regretably, does not use the mallet, but you gotta press the lit up heads furiously!
Just as addictive. (: Can pretend each head is your colleague, your superior, or whichever office KPO that threatens to leak your secrets all the time. Imagine the amount of attention that you'll draw when you press the heads furiously, with all those noise.
Banana Guard: No more bruised bananas!
 One of the most ridiculous looking creations of all-time, built just for the healthier alternative for a pick me up in the middle of the day. Ehm, what if my banana doesn't curve this way?

Hard Disk!
Sunday, 14 June 2009
My spanking new external hard disk! My sister got it for me, 320GB for $105, at the PC show today, the one where I couldn't really find time to go and I really needed one new external HDD badly. I was so afraid my current one would die on me. >.< Doesn't the design and the packaging look the least bit familiar?
But it's so pretty and slim and light! (:  And a copy of the scanned brochures.   Somehow the logo and the layout of the first brochure reminds me of Creative.
