Just a quick recap of how much food's actually gone into my belly during the weekend... Went for a late supper with my friend at ECP Macs on Thurs night (Fillet meal and nuggets!!)... Steak from the Black Board for dinner on Fri night... Split a large deluxe cheese pizza with another friend at Pizza Hut for dinner on Sat...
Hickory Smoked Prime Ribs... Yummy... My first time trying this one... =)
Hog's Breath steak with my sis for lunch on Sunday... Another late night supper at Simpang Bedok with my friend again (Tissue prata and milo dinosaur!!)... Pepper Lunch for dinner on Mon night... and guess what my sis just managed to get!!
KRISPY KREMES!!! She got them from a friend who just came back from US!! Half a dozen divine assorted doughnuts!! Oooooh... Compared to them, the doughnuts in Singapore are nothing!! Look at those perfectly glazed tops, with soft, firm white bread and sweet filling!! Yuuummm....
Look at those delicious doughnuts!! We got a little excited and started munching on them before taking the picture.. Hehe... =D
It's no wonder after all this, my stomach didn't want to eat a lot during lunch today... That one pot of Early Grey lasted me from 12 plus till 8pm... Didn't know why too... guess I should stay away from rich foods for a while... And hit the gym again... Lol... Trying to run at night is kinda hard when you've got suppers... But amazingly, I actually did go for supper AFTER one of my night runs... Lol...
I'm still wondering if I should go use the school gym... Its free anyway.. hehe... Or should I try the guild house instead.. Hrm...
Seriously don't know what's come over me this weekend, just felt... carnivorous... Haha...
I wonder what other cravings I'll have next weekend... xD

So in the end, my sis and I went down to the pizza hut at siglap to order some takeaway... had to wait 30-45 mins.. not so bad a time, so we just spent that time looking for dvds to rent at video ezy and had some coffee at starbucks...
When we went to collect our orders, several stupid things happened that pissed me off... one... stupid kids that kept running in and out of the restaurant like they owned the place... its already crowded enough with ppl queueing up outside and inside, to make payments, collect orders... As well as the service staff trying to deliver orders... There is NO need for kids to run around like its their playground.. wonder what their parents were doing.. Too busy stuffing their mouths I guess...
Then, we realised they screwed up our order.. apparently, one of the earlier patrons ordered a smiliar item, the party meal, and didn't really check carefully before whisking off with MY food... and I sure as hell didn't want to take HIS cold rubbish.. so, they had to rush another order for us, had to wait another 10 minutes...
And to add to my very pissed off mood already... this rude fat balding ass who is apparently blind, looked at me while I was waiting at the counter and just said "Can get me a cup of ice?" WTF?!?!?!?
DO I FREAKING LOOK LIKE I WORK THERE?? THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SERVICE STAFF WHO ARE WEARING RED AND WHITE SHIRTS WITH BLACK PANTS, AND ME WEARING A BROWN TEE, JEANS AND A CAP... FOR GOODNESS SAKE MAN... LOOK CAREFULLY!!!!
Didn't even say sorry after realising his mistake.. in fact, he didn't even say excuse me in the first place... wtf... Really had a good mind to go to him after getting my order and telling him "Excuse me, would you still like that cup of ice?" and if he says anything that even resembles a yes, I'll tell him to get it himself... Sheesh man... and they complain that singapore service isn't good... with customers like that... who wants to give good service??
But.. I was just too tired and in a hurry to get back home to deliver the food to even bother with such people... waste my energy trying to talk to cavemen... Can you imagine taking 2 hours to get food?? Left home at 6pm.. got back at 8 plus... sheesh...
Managed to catch the fireworks for this year's parade... Not very spectacular... last year's fireworks festival ones were much better... and longer too... Hehe... It just doesn't feel like National Day this year.. don't know why...
Just finished a 3 dvd movie marathon with my sis... lol... This is the only way to spend a holiday man... Hehe... No crowds, no irritating kids.. and no blind idiots!!

Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig
Does whatever a Spider-Pig does
Can he swing from a web?
No he *can't*
cause he's a *pig*
Look out!
He's *Spider-Pig*!
(Sung to the tune of the Spiderman theme)
Lol... That part just cracked me up silly... But I know someone who's getting tired of listening to her colleague sing it everyday.. Lol... If they're gonna create any more Simpsons movie toys, they should make one of the pig, with those suction cups on its feet... Lol...
Been doing lots of considerations lately... on my future, my work and everything... Figured if it was the time to try anything out of the ordinary... it would be now.. so while I still search for that elusive lab experience that would buffer my resume, I'm also considering other options, non-science related... leaning towards business or sales...
I did tell my friend once... if I were to ever do sales, it would have to be something I'm deeply interested in.. in this case, IT or automobiles... And it so happens that I do have openings for both... just that... well... it sounds like a waste of a degree for me to study in NUS for 3 years, get that degree and do something totally unrelated to the degree... Of course, I could use it to further my studies in the future... but for that, I'd really like some work experience in the sciences field...
Then again, my friend did once comment.. that I don't seem to be the kind of guy who'd want to work in the lab everyday... which is actually quite true.. although I enjoy lab practicals/work... if I don't find what I'm doing interesting, I won't want to keep on doing it...
I'm kinda weird that way... don't know how anyone can be doing the same thing day in day out for like dunno how many years... I can't... I need things to be at least interesting from time to time to keep my interest there...
Another friend's just set up a car company... was thinking of working there for the time being... pay's not fantastic cos its commission based, but at least I get to work with cars... so, there definitely is interest there... and since its a new company, if I join this early, might probably be able to rise up higher next time if I decide that I like it and want to stay?
I'm still sending in resumes for lab positions and all too... but well... frankly, I somehow don't see myself sequestered away in a lab for the rest of my life too... if it was forensics, doing analysis and all that.. I probably wouldn't mind doing that... but anything else... well.. its subjective...
Guess its like what callie said.. my passion is in driving, cars and motorsports... but... if I be realistic about it... in SG, this is an expensive passion... way too expensive for me right now...
I realise I'm both an idealist and a realist... my idealist side will keep thinking up all this large grandoise pictures of what things could be... but my realist side keeps pulling the reigns back, telling me to be more realistic in my goals... sometimes I just don't know when to let the reins go or when to haul them in...
What I want most right now, is just to get work to be financially independent from my parents, and start earning my own income... My friends have all been quite supportive, telling me to take it slow and just enjoy the holidays first... but frankly... I'm getting sick of it... there's only so much one can do without a stable income...
Which is why sometimes its just frustrating... I start to feel inadequate because I'm jobless... and the plan I had for myself after I graduated, just meets roadblocks every step of the way, its slow trying to clear them when I'm the only person doing the work to clear them...
Then again, it could also be just me giving excuses... which is why I'm going to put in more hours working on things at home... and less going out and all that... unless its for work... This ends NOW...
It's time for me to get on a path and start walking it...
Gonna end this with this quite amusing quote from Hugh Laurie, of House MD: "Girls are complicated. The instruction manual that comes with girls is 800 pages, with chapters 14, 19, 26 and 32 missing, and it's badly translated, hard to figure out"
Lol... let the flaming start girls... Hahahaha...
