And oh, thank you shany for her rather lengthy comment left on my last entry. very well said about 'an enchanted life' and all. indeed you are well-deserving to be the queen of pensive tots. i almost always agree with your tots, woman *approval nod, suddenly feeling sentimental and emotional* Nvm, let the blogging goes on!

1st up! outstanding pix of me and shany at the very 'exciting' and very 'happening' ViVoCity! Weee!!!

my impression:
1) the place is huge. i mean, by sg shopping centres standards, vivo is like the palace of shopping centres in sg. biggest mall in sg, after all.

2) it's crowded. and i mean, like a gazillion pple per square feet or something. ok i'm kidding. but it's crowded. it didn't help that we went on a sunday. all sorta pple were there. we have the families, complete with running and screaming kiddoes, babies in prams, ah gongs ah mas and daddies mummies, the Couples which consist of lovebirds of all ages, the friends-outings, the ah bengs ah lians, and the Miss and Mr l-think-i-look-and-dress-like-supermodels-and-today-i-am-shopping-at-the-fab-vivocity hippies.
took a pix when travelling down the escalator to capture the crowd.

all i can say is i cannot see the start of the crowd at all. all up ahead was totally a sea of bobbing heads to me. and this was taken at the side escalator, mind you. i did travelled down the main ones right in the centre of the mega mall and was greeted with the sight of what i assumed to be 50% of the sg population.

3) vivocity is... just another shopping centre really. apart from its size and all the shoppers, thanks to widespread publicity and the lack of availability of entertainments in sg. most shops in vivo can be found in other places as well, only diff is those located in vivo are bloody huge and upsized. think Giant HYPERmart etc. make sense. cant be having midgets living in palace, can we?

didn't bother to take much pix of the place actually. was in foul mood walking around so much just to get from one place to another. that's a true singaporean for u. too small = nothing to see. too big = so much walking to do. yeah. i'm one sulky whiny 100% singaporean! haha~

i wasn't exactly there to do shopping that time due to recent serious lack of funds and hence am living on shoestring budget. shany wanna checked out this store, candy empire, so after much efforts and what i believe to be 3.2km later, we were there. the store was jam-packed with shoppers (surprise!) and i was pleasantly delighted to find that besides sweetstuffs, they actually have potato chips etc too. many of the products bear foreign brands (i believe from the states) and not those common ones we can find in ntuc or something. on the downside, many of the shelves are not stocked fully or none at all and a lot are not priced. shany asked if if i tot the shelves were empty bcoz they weren't stocked yet or did the products already flew off the shelves. good question, old girl. u might as well have asked me the age-old question instead: what do u think, reeny, that does the chicken come 1st or does the egg come 1st? to both questions, i would have been none the wiser, although deep in my little beating heart, i have always been on the chicken's side instead of the egg's. do ask me why the next time. i would like to explain to you the theory behind my belief.

but i digress. apology. so here's a pix of shany and me in a shot strategically self-taken to capture the store signboard. notice anything diff about me...??? *coy*

yeah.. i got bangs.. teehee *shy* i tot it made me schoolgirlish but shany said i look rather grown-up instead. surprise surprise.. and oh, shany got curls! curls! all nu qiang ren looking and all now isn't she? Awww~

we did not manage to have a decent sit-down meal at the many eating places and restaurants in vivo as we only had half hour to spare after leaving candy empire before our movie. hence i brilliantly suggested sneaking carl's jr in to snack in the cinema. the queue at carl's jr was ridiculously long. it's my 1st time eating. i can't believe the portions they're offering. who do they think they are feeding? pigs??? and i tot burger king's whopper was a huge mf size of a burger already... i ended up buying a bacon cheeseburger thingy with cheesy beef fries or something. long tedious names which i can't rem. i got full just by stuffing my face with the cheesy beef fries alone and brought home the cold cheeseburger as supper. Lovely.

well! and now, gonna share some random pix of my everyday life. let's see what i've got here... hmmm...1st up: blogging for dummies! anyone's interested? spotted at orchard mrt's popular bookstore some time back.

Next, girl with red pumps spotted on bus. this is tricky.. on 1 hand, i totally agree red makes a girl really stands out but.. upon closer inspection of outfit, i'm not so sure if the red pumps is quite complimentary to her overall look.. it felt like an attempt to glamourise oneself gone wrong. i would love to hear comments from other girls.

Next. I dunno since when but i sorta develop an appreciation for clouds. and so...

I've got fluffy cottony clouds right here and...angry looking dark clouds, complete with a glimpse of the sun peeping out behind and...

of coz, rainy clouds. something about the rain falling onto the road, and all that trees and hdb flats behind make it a very nice pix to me.

ha ha i think is this funny.. mysterious single slipper found on the road. i believe some pple seen such things b4 and like me, we will all be wondering how the heck it ended up there. this was until, my wise fren, shany, enlightened me one fine day by relating this incident, if i rem correctly, she was driving (or were you just walking along the road or something?). nvm. the main thing is she saw this motorist on bike sorta just accidentally dropped his slipper. so there! now you know how a single slipper ended up on the road! Careless motorists on bike wearing slippers lost them while travelling! Mystery solved.

My flushed left cheek from excessive drinking. ok dun roll your eyes.. hey i say these are random pix didn't i? besides, i dun see the point of owning a camera phone if i can't take silly nonsense pix when i want to. so, isn't it great? no blusher needed. haha.

a fragment of my childhood memories.onced bustling with life, now ruined and dilapidated.

These are how the inside of avocadoes look like.. if you ever know how they look like on the outside in the 1st place.. looks like guava hor..

And this is how the inside of very very full juicer looks like... i told my aunt this juicer is so not value for money. the pulp is still very much wet and all. told her about this all powerful, king of all juicers commercial which i have seen on tv once for 200bucks but she thinks its a waste of money. surely in the long run getting a better machine will mean we can be sure that every fruit we put in produces more juice? oh, nvm!

that's all, folks. i need to go do some studying now. my JLPT (jap lang proficiency test) is coming up in less than a mth. die die must pass. quite happy with my life now. can do what i want, no job to rush to, no deadline to meet, no work pressure.. jus passing each day with late nights and late risings, plenty of tv, snacking and whatever i wanna do. trying to study more though.

and oh, recently had the pleasure of watching lotsa movies too. i like movies. and shows. i find life too monotonous sometimes. that's why ordinary pple like u and me find excitements, romance, adventures etc inside the silver screens to fill up the voids within ourselves.

the world's a stage, and all the men and women are the players.

to me, movies are not merely a form of entertainment. when i do come across some really good and meaningful shows, i find that i actually learn life lessons or gain certain insights and perspectives that i've never known or considered b4. on a lighter note, a comedy always crack me up and brighten up my day a little. i wanna watch movies until the day i die *determine* -_-"

hmmm.. maybe i shall go watch a little tv 1st.. just to chill out a little b4 i hit the books ^_^
