exhilarating!
histrionics: centre of my life - hillsong church london.

verbatim.

"Yesh no wonder u are paunchy"
- ed's remark to my voracious eating habits.

"..and she was on a bingLe (sic) lor"
- narration of csi stories couldn't be more hilarious!

"Hey gideon! Guess wat?! I dreamt of you w/o hair! Hahahahaha.Look so weird!"
- untimely comment by alex, especially when i just got a haircut.

verbatim.terminus

took a long time to rouse myself from sleep today.
went to wheelock place to get my sneakers, but it was a wasted trip, they didn't have any left.
new stock coming in monday, gonna check them out with ed.

watched The Passion today.
my goodness. the show really brought the Biblical experience to life. moving scenes and words, nothing i can say can put what i felt into words. i finally understood what people meant when they told me you become speechless after watching the show. so true. and i cried buckets. ooh.

verdict?
if you miss it, you're missing out on the greatest love story ever.

met ed @ bugis. no points for guessing, he was late!! the weird thing is that i'm actually (?) getting used to it. went to muji to get our book, then to sakae sushi. i really liked the service there!

took a cab down to the dbs arts centre : home of the singapore repertory theatre (oh why am i so long-winded?). i absolutely adored wanton me! selena tan is just so talented, vocals-wise, acting and thought-forms. and she's side-splitting (i mean figuratively, of course), with her witty remarks on the ministers, for eg. stiff chia?! wanton me! is a clever portrayal of singaporeans' ineptitude in trying to find a place in the world, yet with all the efforts, maintain their minute & insignificant influence because of the people's inability to break out of their conventional and brainwashed thinking. i'm so gonna catch revenge of the tim-sum dollies! :)

walked to clarke quay mrt, there was this 'amazing' 90-step staircase down. oh wow. i was so intrigued huh. went to the esplanade, on the way ed pointed out that we were walking against the crowds going home the other way. and that made me think. sometimes we try to break free, to refuse conformity, and yet we're confined within the limits of the culture we're brought up in. hmm.

baker's inn is a disaster to say the least. service couldn't be worse. first waiter who served us was sooooooooo 'attitude'. and you wouldn't believe it, they gave us one can of coke, then another, then vanilla ice-cream with oreos, then chocolate ice-cream with mint, all of which we DIDN'T ORDER! then when the bill was called for, a receipt with the wrong orders. and as if that wasn't bad enough, the waiter actually gave us a paid-for bill with a (!!!) VISA card.

i really don't think i'm going there anytime in the near future.

food stalls were all closed, so i couldn't get anything to eat.
shared a (!) cab back home, last thing i knew before i got off was that the midnight surcharge started! eew. i shan't like to see the bill. but i guess some things are necessary.

resorted to the humiliating defeat to two packs of instant mee, a sausage and an egg, i shouldn't be succumbing to such ruinous fodder at such an hour. the word mucketymuck is so aptly coined. lard in the larder. sigh.
