Weekend --> Chinese New Year, Boys Before Flowers and Sudoku!

Boys Before Flowers!!  It's a new Korean drama in progress right now. It's about a fiesty common girl (haha me!) who gets the opportunity to attend the most prestigous high school in Korea, but she butts heads with a clique of mean high school boys who are the uber uber rich and all heirs. [I wish it was me.... :(]

OK, it sounds maybe.......oh man. I think that I am totally sounding lame. But I really like the show!! But it does make me crave Korean ramen like none other. OH YUM!!

So, tonight I will be looking for more work-appropriate clothes, and then Saturday is Chinatown exploration/picture taking and at night is some sort of [weirdo] french fry marathon. I'll update later about that. Who has french fry marathons?? I'm bamzoogled. I'm a bamzoogled bazzoot! (tinky is a toozzab.) Sunday......well Monday and Tuesday are national holidays in Singapore for Chinese New Year. Oh by the way! 

Chuc mung nam moi! 

(or as the Chinese say: Gong Xi Fa Chai!)

So Monday and Tuesday, I have no idea what is going to happen. I think the first thing I do on Monday is call my parents though, even if it will only be Sunday night for them. Some relative-calling, I suppose. Then.....hm. From what I understand, a lot of places will be open but charging a lot more.  I guess just planning to go with the flow.

And lately at night, I've been staying up later to do Sudoku. It's sort of sad, but I know that I will fall asleep instantly if I can't finish one of the challenging ones. Sad, isn't it? Sigh.

OK well again, Happy Chinese New Year!!! [hooray food!] It's my first Chinese New Year in Singapore, and I'm really looking forward to it!

everyone's looking around thinking i'm going crazy....

Quick wrap up of my weekend:

Friday night I went to this pizza place in Holland Village with a colleague visiting SG from Kuala Lumpur (KL, Malaysia) and went home because I was pooped after a long week!

Saturday I went to Sentosa. It was a bit sunny in the morning, but in the afternoon it was cloudy, so after the water got cold (I wore the black VS one piece!) I went home to change to meet up with some friends in the Tampines Mall. We hung out there for a while and then went home.

Sunday I set out on a mission to find some Chinese herbal medicine in Chinatown. The big store "Eu Yan Seng" (I think) "Medical Hall" was closed, but I went to about 6-8 other ones to look for this specific product but to no fruition. I wandered around aimlessly for a while before remembering this Pho place in the Chinatown/Central Business District area. I wandered around and wandered and wandered and ended up in a completely different district (well, north of CBD) in the edge of Clarke Quay down to Boat Quay. I ate some Vietnamese food in Boat Quay (the pho was …not really pho) and planned to go to the Botanic Gardens to spend time with the orchids in the National Orchid Garden (and then later meet up with some friends again at Tampines Mall), but I got sidetracked while walking through Orchard Rd (synonymous with Fifth Avenue of New York) and ended up buying this [kid sized! Whoops!] Ralph Lauren halter dress. Very…casual but with a little bit of flair at the bottom. J And not too short! I even have a matching sweatshirt to accompany it.

Then I went to Tampines Mall to meet some friends at Starbucks. I started to realize that my ears were really itchy, so I thought maybe they were sunburnt, but then the rest of my body started popping out in hives -__-;;; so I ran to the pharmacy and bought some antihistamine and went home (kind of bummed to be going home at 830p). Watched coffee prince and waited for the benadryl to kick in. Waking up this morning was difficult!!

Tonight I think I'm going to sleep early and maybe tomorrow go shopping at Orchard after work! This is the last week of the Great Singapore Sale, so I hope that I find some awesome things to buy! I think that I have decided that my fashion style is going to be pretty simple, with solid colors but with a bit of secret flair in each piece. You have to understand that I don't intend to be a 'trendy' person at all; what I buy is adding to my collection of my evolution of becoming a successful businesswoman.

I also think that I am going to purchase some paints and canvases to relieve stress since I do not want to buy a keyboard just quite yet. I will buy one maybe in a year, after I move out of my studio apartment and hopefully find roommates! I still "practice" piano by just reading some sheet music online and then just practicing the fingering (tres pathetique, je sais).

Currently listening to Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love"
