The Rabbit

With the blazing fast worklife, blitzing fast studylife, projects, deadlines, assignments and mugging. Life never seems to end. Sometimes we just need to take a step back and just relax. Managing time to meet deadlines, complete assignments and projects is all fine and great. What's important is that we find time for ourselves as well. We should be like this little guy.. And take a well deserved time out once in a while!

A reflection from Sentosa

Sometimes you wish Singapore stood still to give you the chance to reflect and enjoy moments which make your life worth living:

Chinese new year

It's funny how many interesting people you can meet while having a nice long walk at East Coast Park. People actually getting drunk, making merry, and well, some just totally chilling out. So many family traditions happen on Chinese New Year that it's amazing - whether you're Chinese, Indian, Malay or otherwise.

CNY's a time for families, or what's left of a family to get together to remember the most important thing: at the end of the day, blood is thicker than water. I have my own traditions too. I believe in overnighting for the sake of my parents. Chinese believe if the children overnight to past midnight, he parents will live longer. I believe it's a time for me to remember what I have and have not. To appreciate what and how I have. Valentines day just made me reflect doubly hard then.

Anyways, a good start to the Chinese new year. Here's a big "cheers" to everyone reading, wishing you all the best for you and your family!

Remember.. If The Als comes to visit, please give bigger hong baos! Thanks!

Remembering how bored I can be

I went through my miscellaneous folder the other day which houses my past and more importantly future blog material which I can potentially write about. I was planning to write about how bored I was at Zouk on wednesday due to.. well, you'll find out. But also, the stuff inside got me thinking of how bored I can be sometimes and what I do when I really have too much time on my hands:

Oh and by the way, how can I leave Ari out of another blog entry? Especially with such an EPIC moment:

Hmm by the way, Mambo on wed wasn't as fantastic with the DJ totally spoiling the party one time too many! It was a sad day for mambo fans as Mambo King walked out at 2am, just 2 hours after arriving. Not done yet, the DJ was horrible for the night as he managed to totally kill off the high of the dance floor with a Backstreet Boys song. SO many classic "must-have" mambo songs not played, horrible filler songs, "hips don't lie"??? Ah well, cheers to better days at Mambo. At least the cute bartender chick was chatty heheh

The mambo crew

Confucius says: Grasshopper, Mambo is like water. YOU NEED IT TO LIVE. =P

In totally unrelated news: My blazer hunt that lasted 3 months has finally come to an end!!!

Mambo @ Zouk = Happiness!! (Or drunkage)

Well well. Having the good idea of Wednesdays and Thursdays off with no school really opens alot of doors. (A lot of mambo doors heheh). Having gatherings with the old gang on mambo nights were especially fun, no matter the number, 2 or 20. Hey! It's mambo after all. If you're not there for the music and the dancing (and maybe sometimes girls, let's be honest) then what are you there for? Unfortunately I don't enjoy the Phuture styled GGG "Guys Grind Girls" type of clubbing. Well, I'm not there for that reason.

Then again, the big 1 for 1 promo till midnight @ zouk is ALWAYS welcome. LOL

So anyways, The Als' Mega Mambo Marathon lasted till 4am when Zouk closed last night..uh.. this morning I mean. It made more sense to wait out another 2 or so hours until the trains started at some obscure McDonalds in the city rather than cabbing home like some idiot. Not a bad night indeed! Considering we danced from 12 to 4am, and spent close to nothing on drinks! (Complementary drink coupons are a lifesaver) Total damage? $30ish for a night well spent. I should do this more often!

Hugeeeeee line of cabs outside Zouk as far as the eye can see at 4am

MRT - 6am. It's amazing that it's CROWDED. Holy crap. How many people actually go to work THIS early??? Note the electronic signboard at the top of the MRT hasn't started working yet!

The Als is worth $25.00 today! (Entrance fee cause Jo's not online now :( )

Today's Song: ALL THE SONGS FROM ZOUK'S MAMBO JAMBO ALBUM YESSSS

MRT Watch: 6am in the morning and it's packed? Wow. I never knew people went to work this early!

Confucius says: You must welcome new things into your life in the new year: New clothes, new vision, new attitude, new happenings! (Not so much newater.)

In totally unrelated news: 93rd min. Goal. Rooney. Hey, Man City. Suck on that.
