Durians

I love durians. They are so yummy and tasty but the durians that we buy are usually the '3 for $10' or '2 boxes for $20' types.

Yesterday, a durian seller came to my house to hard-sell his durians which are from Malaysia and fresh from the trees. Price is $6/kg. Thinking that the durians will be the normal small-sized durians, we decided to get 3.

But when the durians finally crossed the customs and reached my house, we realised that they were huge and very heavy. Thinking of paying about $30-40 for 3 durians, we ended up paying $77 for them! 13kg in total for the 3 durians!


We opened one in the evening to savour the fresh durians. The smell is really strong but the durians are not ripe so the flesh is quite tough and not very sweet or bitter. Still, I can tell that they are really quality ones.

Look at my yummy durians. (=P)

DIY (kiddy) day

It was Kiddy Day yesterday. (=D)
Meet Leanne in Parkway to do clay painting.
Decided on our clay figures. Leanne's the girl and mine is the pig.
They looks weird together. LOL.

Colours available for us to create our very own clay dolls. This reminds me very much about art is primary school. (=P) Playing with paint. I sucks at drawing so when it comes to art exams during secondary school, my theme is always 'distortion'. (=P) I am GREAT at distortion. Hehe.

Leanne's finished product. No mouth but cute. (=D)

My still uncompleted pig. Adding gold colour to the bandage.

My festive pig. (=P) I have no idea whether it is a ;he' or a 'she' or maybe a 'he-she". (=P) It looks a lot like a 'he' but holds a handbag so I supposed it is a 'she'. This pig is good for display during all festive days. New year, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Christmas. Lol. Cute? (=P)

Smoking

If you were to come to my house, remember to take a look at the "No Smoking" sign taped against the wall of the staircase besides my house. This is thanks to a very irresponsible neighbour who lives 2 floors below me. He started smoking outside his house and I guessed someone complained and he moved further up till he reached my floor. (>=[) So angry with him. When he first started smoking outside his house, I can already smell it almost immediately and not to even mention smoking outside my house.

He can smoke all he wants but who mentioned the needs or wants to die of lung cancer? Passive smoking is worse than smoking. My grandfather doesn't even smoke at home.

Singapore should ban smoking in the corridors!

At this moment when I am typing here, HE IS SMOKING AGAIN!!!

I feel like kicking his ass now!

Sale~

I am so broke yet I want to shop. (-.-)

I keep seeing the "Sale" sign around. Online and outside the stores.
I really want to shop!

MNG sale is coming soon, 19th June. GSS is still ongoing. I want to buy some tops and bottoms, laptop accessories, new handphone, cute stationery, etc. Shopping, I am so deprived of it. Sob.

I also want to eat a lot of things. I want to eat Mcdonalds breakfast, sushi, pizza, pasta, snacks, etc.

I BOUGHT NEW LAPTOP

I went to Sim Lim Square yesterday wanting to get Asus brochure before the PC show so that I can compare the prices and free gifts during the PC show.

BUT!!!

I saw this exclusive laptop that is $400 cheaper than F9SG and yet only slightly different from it. It has 2GB memory instead of 3GB, 160GB harddisk instead of 240GB, 13.3" screen instead of 12.1", matt white cover instead of glossy black and most importantly, it is built using more sturdy materials. The rest is all the same.


After considering all the factors and taking in the advise from the sales personnel, I decided to buy immediately. (=P)

So introducing to you my new laptop: F6S.


Pretty? I bet you say yes. (0^^0)


Can you see the black pad on top of the keyboard? That is a laptop care pad. It can work as a screen wiper, screen protector and also a mouse pad. (=>) The screen protector is out of stock so I haven't remove the temporary protective layer.


You probably also realised that the keyboard is a little greyish. That is because I bought a silicone keyboard protector to protect my keyboard from dirt and water spillage.

FINALLY, I want to show you my cover. (=P) I bought the Garskin from Popular and DIY - paste it onto my laptop cover. Cute? (=D)


Total damage: $1898 (laptop), accessories ($29.90)

TPJC concert

31 May 2008

TPJC Le Musique 2008
Victoria Concert Hall

Presenting to you, Guitar Ensemble

Brought my camera but photography and video recording is strictly prohibited so no photo of the performance by both the Guitar Ensemble and Band.

The Guitar Ensemble played a total of 10 pieces namely "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas", "Gu Dan Bei Ban Qui", "Recuerdos De La Alhambra", "Amigos Para Siempre", "Tea for Two", "A Royal March", "El Bimbo", "English Country Garden", "Shepherd's Dance" and "Una Noche De Espana".

My personal favourites are "Tea for Two" and "Una Noche De Espana". "Tea for Two" is a lively and well-known piece. You can check out the song in Youtube. "Una Noche De Espana" is a very grand piece combining guitar with the winds instruments bringing a splendid ending for the Guitar Ensemble.

Next on stage was the band bringing to us 6 very loud pieces. I like instrumental music but I must really say the performance by the band was kind of disappointing, The pieces were not well-chosen and I personally felt that it was more of a show than a performance. Reason being the coordination between the band members was not good enough and many of them were moving between a couple of instruments during each piece therefore everyone was looking at those moving instead of concentrating on the performance. I only have one favourite out of the 6 pieces which is "Cavetowns' Cappadocia". Nothing to rave about the band performance.

After the end of the concert, we took some pictures together.

We left shortly after taking some photos as it was really crowded. On our way back to the MRT station, I went to the restroom with my Jing Yu and cam-whored a little. Below was probably the best photo taken in the restroom. (=P)

That's all. (^^)
