Wow looking at that summary. I feel that its no wonder I put on 2 kgs and my face is having a full-fledged breakout.
I still have my insomnia, and I would like to get my memories down ‘on paper’ so I will write more about each day.
Read on if you want to
Your resident insomniac,

August 23rd – Rain
I spent the whole day eating! Rolled out of bed and met Liang Yi for lunch. We decided to splurge and went to this Korean restaurant for lunch. Afterwards I made my way to Paya Lebar to meet Angela for coffee. The previous day Soo Leng psyched me out for moving back home for cooking, Angela psyched me out for moving back home for business. She made me feel better about moving back home, how I can help more, and be able to see results. Thank you Angela!
Afterwards I went home and took a 20 minute nap. Then I went out to dinner with Gin Nah and Yeen Yee. By 8pm, it was raining hard, so Yeen Yee came to pick me up. Her friend’s car was parked in the other entrance, she told me there was no need to bring an umbrella. There is a covered walkway from Tower A to Tower B. But that didn’t matter at all. The rain was the type of rain that comes and hits you from all directions. I wish I had a better cellphone So I could had taken a photo. I was standing at the foot of the walkway, and I looked ahead to see a soaking wet tiled floor, rain gushing in from the sides, I braced myself and walked ahead.
Dinner with the girls was great, just chit chatting and girly bonding. Will really miss that. Sigh.

August 22nd – Testing Patience
Kathy and I woke up to go have lunch with Wels at Raffles Place. We ended up eating at Sakae Sushi. They both are the sweetest things! Although it is a short time, I really love them and I feel that they cherish me and I cherish them too! It is really amazing how away from home you can find a new family. Then, I have an internal conflict, how can I want to stay in Singapore with my Singapore family and friends, and not return back to my real family?
I dolled up to meet the gang at Vill’age (I would call it Village, but it is suppose to be Vil-la-Jaye) Mark and Xinhui organised the dinner, : Charles, Cat, Michelle, Chris, Eileen, Mark, Xinhui and Kim Siah came. I actually can’t stand Kim Siah at all, he says the most retarded things, but Mark called me and asked if he could invite him and phrased it in a way : “It’s okay to invite Kim Siah right? You aren’t xiao qi right?”
Bah. Anyways we got lots and lots of food to share. And had lots of laughter over dinner and randomly chatting about things. And then Kim Siah would say something and either it wouldn’t be funny, or it wouldn’t be relevant, so the whole table just falls into a * silence *. The guy is a CONVERSATION KILLER!!!
He’d be like “And then on the flight, I said to the girl sitting next to me…..why are we flying China Airlines? I would never fly China Airlines…but.. of course because it is cheap! AH HAH AH HAH AH HAH”
And all of us are like “…..”, probably thinking “that poor girl having to sit next to him for 4 hours straight.” Or…..“hey buddy…can you just shut the hell up???”
Lol.
Oh and we decided to have NYDC for dessert, instead of going upstairs to the NYDC heeren branch. Mark had this wonderful idea of walking to the NYDC branch at Wheelock Place. So that we can “digest our food” haha. And just my luck, I had to sit opposite Mr. Low EQ over desserts. And the whole time I was *rolling my eyes* and thinking…“hey loser…can you just shut the *!@^&*#@!@#* up???!!”
Is he really that bad???
Wait, you gotta know this:
We were talking about this festival in the US, The Burning man festival? How it is wild and you can do anything you want? And he says, “Oh yeah that party is wild. And there are alot of queers.”
Is he really that bad???
YES.

August 21st – Hair Spray
I went to the Thai embassy early in the morning to submit my visa. Part of the visa requirement is one passport size photo, so I went to Far East Shopping Centre to take a photo. The price was 16$ for 8 pictures, but I only wanted 1, ended up bargaining 8$ for 4 pictures. And while the lady was taking my photo she gave me this kinda look like, “wow your hair is extremely messy and there is no way to make it better.” Hah.
Met Soo Leng for lunch and coffee. We chatted a lot, she and Richard are getting married!! They are a lovely couple. And during our coffee session we were talking about cooking and recipes, so she helped psyche me into going home, because at home I can cook all the time, and try new things. I love cooking.
I met Nelson and Rachel for dinner at Vivo. We went to Modestos and had a super healthy dinner, salad, capaccio, and a calzone. I noticed that Singaporeans always say it’s a giant curry puff. I never thought of that. I think its this uber yummy folded pizza. When I found it at York (Toronto), it was my sin of the week. Hawaiian calzone…with lots of mozzarella cheese…super yum.
Afterwards I went to watch Hair Spray with my dai gor Nelson. It was a somewhat fun movie, so far the best movie I’ve seen since a long while. The songs aren’t catchy, but the script is fun. I especially like when they sing, “I am big blonde and beautiful!!”
That’s me!! Big, I have blonde highlights and I’m beautiful!!! Haha. So think of me when you watch it. J

August 20th – Gotta Love Paneer
In September 2006, I found myself homeless. And Neha was kind to let me stay with her for 6 weeks at her apartment in Pasir Panjang. We had a great time together bonding and just hanging out. One of our frequent dining place was called Rangooli. On Monday (August 20th) I went back to Pasir Panjang and we had lunch together at Rangooli. I love NAAN!!! And I love Paneer!!! Something I will definitely miss because I don’t think we get it that good in Bangkok. After that we went to NUS, Neha had a class, so I went to hang out…er…SLEEP in the library. Wait, shoot I think I blogged that day. Hmm, anyways afterwards we went to have coffee and I went home.
Although I only had 8 days left in Singapore, I wanted to spend my Monday night at home just hanging out and chilling with my Eliz Tower family. I think we watched this ridiculous movie called 28 days. I remember staying up late, I don’t know why, or what I was doing. Hmmm…
