erm, my blogger is in chinese. and the html is a little hard to navigate because there is NONE so to speak of. but i shall attempt anyway.

the reason why my blogger is in chinese is because the IT dept of my company configured my internet settings such that i'm surfing on the shanghai server. so sites like blogspot (but not blogger, strangely. can publish but cannot view?) and wikipedia are banned.

anyhow.. the weekend was a good time to repay much-owed sleep debt - 11hours from 1am to 12noon on sunday, followed by brief breakfast and another 1-2hours of nap hehe.

it was also ktv overdose weekend; on fri and on sunday, at the same kbox outlet at cineleisure. i recognise the staff already. but ok lah i got to sing songs that i didnt get to on friday.. i really like sun yan zi's version of sometimes love just ain't enough. and tori amos signed her album cover! the song just grows on you. shall sing it everytime i go kbox :P but didnt get to fight for ginny.. so sad.. :/ hahaha

ohhh i went to cafe del mar on saturday night! nice chillout concept. But zm is right - sentosa has lost some of its "natural" charm with all these shops and attractions and bars everywhere. it doesnt feel like a beach resort ala Perhentian or even Redang anymore. More like overcommercialized hoohaa. and to be honest, sentosa cant even begin to fight with Asian beach paradises like Phuket and the group of Kohs, Bali, even Malaysian islands! but anyway, back to the cafe by the sea. i was pretty impressed by the place, layout and decor. They had beds you could occupy (with minimum spending $100) and even small huts ($200!) but of course since 2 people are not going to drink $200 worth of alcohol we chose to sit somewhere indoors. wise choice too, cos 5min after we sat down it started pouring.

they had a wading pool too (where kids were lounging around trying to look cool - fully clothed) and the lighting made the place quite cool as well. one thing i was really impressed by was the waiters. all pretty good looking and with the "cool" factor, dressed in tshirts, berms and slippers. and i was also impressed by the level of maturity they had (no other word to describe other than maturity?) and they seemed like they had received at least some form of training/or had past experience (unlike a certain ex-employer of mine, where no training was provided for a waitress-noob like me). even though they were all young/youthful, they were very confident servers. i like!

Program this week - meeting mingxian and vk for dinner! yay finally. friday bbq@ my house hee hee :) saturday lunch w bao, followed by fel's botanical gardens picnic. i want to cook something for the picnic but i scared by the time go there cold lah. and hopefully i can make some time for much needed sports in between.
