F1

2 more weeks of my fantastic holiday!!! n then school starts all over again…. ugh….

The F1 Race is over!! Finally!!
The whole thing was pretty disorganized…. Kitty and I went to work on Friday at 9am but we couldn’t get in till like 10plus…. due to some setbacks… we learnt our lesson and didn’t head to work till 9plus the next 2 days. Got burnt on Friday and Saturday…. thankfully Sunday was cloudy. Met like heaps of SP people… and YanHong too! In fact I ended up working with her for like 3 days… on the last day I saw Hadi…. looked the same… just shorter hair… hahaha.

It was tiring but not toooo bad…. but because of the sun, my whole body has like 3 diff tones now!!!! ugh…. and I’ve learnt a couple of things over the last 3 days about races… 

Had dinner with Danial, Ricky & ChingChing on Friday at ParkMall’s Sakae….. Buffet!!! Haven’t had sushi in like ages!!! It was gooooooood….. we were damn full…. had to walk before heading home… so we headed to Clarke Quay…. took only like 30mins… crap…

Then had dinner with Danial & Shaz on Saturday at Thai Express…. OMG…. all the gooood food in the last 3 days…. plus we had desert at Secret Recipe after……. yummmmy…. ok actually i had pics of the food but i am too lazy to load them into the comp. 

Finally, dinner with Friday’s crew at Tomato…. after dinner, Danial and I headed back to the Marina to watch the race…. well… like 30mins to an hours of it. I got bored after 30mins… and since I was taking Bu’s time away from Kang so I headed out. Thank goodness I decided last minute not to follow Danial… he was surrounded by idiots. Anyways, met up with chingching n ricky again n we hung out at Raffles City  STARBUCKS with ash till Boonwei finished his duty then walked to Selegi for TauHuay!!!!

Thankfully MRTs were dragged till 1plus….

Now I just can’t wait to get my pay…. which isn’t much but it’s something.

Had lunch with auntie maggie and sa today at some vegetarian rest. near my old church…. the old SJC. Thank goodness I left alive… my stomach usually can’t take such stuff….

OMG…. the amount of food I’ve been eating since I came home from the US….. FAAAAT….. can’t wait for yoga tmr… and the next day…. OOooooOOO…. YAY!

Chalet this Thursday with the US peeps… wahahahaha….. more foooood….
Now every time Ricky smses me to go out, I have to ask him which grp of friends he’s asking….

I wanna go visit my sisters!!!! But I heard they’re coming here instead… crap….. 

Thailand….. *prays*

Tokio Hotel - Monsoon

 

I'm staring at a broken door
There's nothing left here anymore
My room is cold, it's making me insane
I've been waitin' here so long
But now moment seems to've come
I see the dark clouds comin' up again 

Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
Til' the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself I'll think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
Through the monsoon
Just me and you 

A halfmoon fading from my sight
I see your vision in its light
But now it's gone and left me so alone
I know I have to find you now
Can hear you name and don't know how
Why can't we make this darkness feel like home? 

Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
Til' the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself I'll think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you
Through the monsoon 

Hey!
Hey! 

I'm fighting all it's power coming in my way
Let it take me straight to you,
I'll be running night and day
I'll be with you soon
Just me and you
We'll be there soon
So soon 

Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world
Til' the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm
Into the blue
And when I lose myself I'll think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you
Through the monsoon
Through the monsoon
Just me and you
Through the monsoon
Just me and you

Kitty and I got there at 8.10am and lined up to sign in and collect our stuff till about 9am…
after which they told us to come back at 10.45am for the briefing….
right so since we were hungry, we didn’t really mind.
Ended up eating Dim Sum at Food Republic…
10.45am came and went… they didn’t start till 11.30….
talk about disorganized….
they talked and talked till some of us dozed off…
1.30 or so and they finally decided to take us for our walk about…
to show us where we were going to work…
and that lasted till like 3.20pm!!!

Kitty and I headed down to Ricky’s place cause it was the nearest and we cld rest….
at about 5plus, Ricky n I headed back to Suntec…
waited and met up with the US peeps… danial, jonathan, boon wei n shayenne…
had dinner at Pasta Mania…

Danial had a soccer game starting at like 9pm…. he thought it was 10pm…
so we were rushing to find a pub for him to watch…. geez…
found one at Harry’s Esplande…
we ordered a bottle of Jacob’s Creek…
then Shayenne n Ricky got bored and started playing the 5,10,15 game…
loser drinks… OMG…. so funny!!!

we walked ard the whole tangjong pagar area till the afternoon…. i went off half to get my yoga stuff and headed back to town to meet them again…. SUPER tired!!! went to wheellock starbucks to have coffee… had no idea what the hell i drank (apparently it’s some concoction by John) … i just know i had 2 cups of coffee which in total had abt 6 shots in them. Kept me awake for like 30 lousy minutes. *sigh*….
