of the break-up, jelly beans and too much food..

it's been a tiring week..

mon-thu:

helped out jess' sister leya at her company, co-organization in preparation for an upcoming public forum..answering calls, helping in admin stuff and entertaining (or irritating) her! been a real eye-opener, getting to see how an event gets put together, the hustle and bustle of liaising with the client and then coordinating with the various vendors..nice but really exhausting..despite being paid a dollar less for every hour as compared to at access direct, i chalked up almost the same amount for four days as i did for one and a half weeks at access direct!

thu:

went to catch the break-up with kenneth and bee hui at the cathay..initially, i thought the movie was pretty crappy and pointless, especially with a "what the!" type of ending..but upon reflection it suddenly made perfect sense..the plot and the characters may seem a tad confusing because they don't seem to know what they want and how they feel throughout the show..but aren't break-ups like that? the feeling of wanting to hold on but to let go at the same time? the feeling of loving yet hating that very same person? the fightings and arguments may be over-exaggerated and trivial but it all adds to the fun of the show..as for the ending, let's just say i understand :)



thu-fri:

triggered by aileen, i went in search of the elusive "jelly beans from 7-11"! why "elusive"? it's like i went into three different 7-11s on thursday night and none of them sold anything remotely looking like jelly beans! but just when i thought maybe they had sold out or something, i found them on friday at the branch at orchard!


not very nice though, too chewy for my liking :/ but the jaffa cakes from marks and spencer are really really goooooooooooooooooood :)

fri:

wanted to chill out somewhere but couldn't find any kaki so ended up having dinner with ning at bugis (she "kopped" one packet of my jelly beans btw!)..we ate at this stall opposite bugis junction called yukee..apparently, it is reknowned for it's duck rice, kway chap, roasted duck noodles and char siew noodles..ning had the duck rice and i had the kway chap and turns out it is really quite good and for $3 each only!


later at night, just when i was about to k-o for the day, kenneth jio-ed supper at simpang bedok which i reluctantly accepted because i had a really exhausting week..alex and gwen (who pointed out that it's been more than a year since we last met!) came along as well..i thought maybe just go there grab a prata and that's that..but when gwen and kenneth both ordered roti john, i was also tempted to try it..i mean, roti john with mushroom and cheese leh! sounds tantilising rite? it was pretty good but i was also pretty damn full (and sleepy) after finishing the whole thing myself..sinful man..all these oily food so late at night!


going for broadway beng now..should be lots of fun! (: epl starts tonight! watching click tomorrow (i think, i hope)! it's going to be a swell weekend!
