The Wannabe Economist

Now Mrs Chongky wants me to blog about her.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ok i shall ATTEMPT to do an interesting blog entry on her.

She LOVES to eat! There is a pasar malam at ave 2 and guess how many times she has been there? TWICE yesterday and 4 TIMES today. *faints*

Other than the only time to buy stickers for the kids (yup the 2 kids are now out of my place for a change, temporary arrangement and it’s going to end soon… lol they’re going back in a while), i can safely tell you that the rest of the trips are on food hunting purposes. I reckon we blew a good fortune at the Ramly/otah store, more than we could manage in a week in school. On the bright side, the pasar malam will be ending today. An end to the never stopping junk-junking throughout the day.

I wish i could post some photos right now, but the lack of inspiration means that we haven’t been taking a lot of artistic nice shots recently. And as i was talking about nice photos, a brilliant thought stuck Mrs Chongky — I SHOULD BUY A DSLR.

Yes and that was after the bright proposal to bring auntie and wen to Bangkok last night.

SMART… i think she planned these with my $$$. Not hers.

I shall do a proper entry next time. Too tired. Let me catch up on more sleep, after sleeping more than 10 hours today.

Good night. 

I admit that i usually giving the local news a miss on whichever papers i’m reading, since read or no read, it’s not going to change anything.

But check this out.

AS should consider including this example in the updated syllabus. If A happens and B happens, A must lead to B. Since B happened, therefore A.

Brilliant.

I am not a very maths or finance person, hence if you have to read Mr Wang’s comment to know more about the issues in those perspective.

I still think cycling is the best. No ERP when i head into town.

I’m back. Nothing went wrong at the SISF 07. Though the everyone else seems elated at the smooth item, to me it’s another job well done. Been doing this, screwed up somethings, did well the rest, that i hope for the rest and work hard for it. The end result doesn’t matter, as long as i did justice.

The party afterwards was great, except for the fact that some expat big shot with no common sense sorta ruin the evening for me. FUCK YOU OK. That’s from me. LOL.

$41 for the ticket, But $6 for the drink for which you can request for more alcohol and well, they give you 1/3 ice, 1/3 alcohol and the reminder mixer, what more can you complain about?

I’m glad i didn’t drive. Else how can i enjoy 4 glasses of drinks? I’m sure i won’t even get to drink 1 glass. (If i’m lucky i might be able to get a drink for Cheers)

And here’s something interesting for everyone.

Decide if you think the dancer is turning clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Then click here.

-Do not read on if you haven’t decide for yourself-

I find myself deciding that the dancer is turning clockwise, and no matter how hard i try to focus i can’t change that perception. And this is while Mrs Chongky decided that the dancer is turning anti-clockwise but she can change it if she focuses. Amazing isn’t it?

And now i’m fucked, because i have no transport and rehearsal at the east corner of Singapore starts at 11pm.

Brilliant!

I thought i was better after the adrenaline of completing 3500 words chinese essay in just 3 days gave me. Until i took a nap afterwards and woke up, deciding that i need to see the doctor at once.

Going back to the old estate, missing out on childhood chicken rice (probably because the boss has earned enough with the new found popularity these few years to go on holidays for the entire week), missing out on childhood bread.

Good thing at the end of the day, i bought cakes from the childhood bakery. Didn’t taste as good as it promised.

And hell with seeing doctor. If just giving medicine to help the symptomes is considered a consultation session, i can be a doctor myself.

Doctor Chongky: how are you feeling?

Patient PP: cough, flu, running nose, pain, think infected

Doctor Chongky: ok cough syrup for cough, panadol for flu, clarinise for running nose, more panadol for pain and antibotics for infection… NEXT PLEASE

Is dying. Coughing, sorethroat, weak. I thought i was just getting better.

Sick… and still need to do work. I can be down, but pace can never slow down.

I guess nothing beats eating a lot of fruits everyday (yet i still fell ill =((( ), doing work in front of tv with Discovery Travel & Living, and sliming down to 73kg.

Woo hoo. No more fei fei.

I think i is love Mrs Chongky very much. Despite all the scratches and bites and tickles. LOL… this is so gross i think she is going to kill me when she reads this.

Going out now. KFC here i come!

Note to self: Collect the beloved bikes at 5pm.

Ok to make up for not including Bernie in the last post, here’s the group photo from last night’s dinner.

This photo is posted late not because i wanted to deliberating miss out image of Bernie on the last post. I have just gotten this from Bernie herself, whose kept-in-just-a-plastic-bag camera captured this group photo. Amazing thing how spending a short period of time overseas can change a person. She claims that life in Europe though her this, for someone might just grab the camera and start running away.

Jon, you better watch your kick ass camera.

I think Daddy is love me one. He brought me to buy (with my own money and some subsidy on his end) a new handphone at my request. Nothing great about this phone, but it reminds me of the first handphone that i have ever gotten, which i still miss very much up till today. I shouldn’t have traded it in for the handphone i can’t remember. In fact, i don’t think i would mind using that handphone today, despite it having not colour and mms and all. *Sob*

Went to Vila’ge at Hereens for dinner last night. It has been a while since we ate out. Quoting Mrs Chongky, “we’re so guai nowadays that we eat at home all the time”.

(Pardon me for the poo quality of the photos, as i didn’t realise i didn’t set the picture quality to best until i downloaded these photos onto my laptop)

Simon and Minsi, Lynn

Weizheng, Yang

No photo of Bernie as punishment for coming late. No photo of Lian because she is to be ostracised for not coming to dinner.

It’s quite rare to see so many friends from this clique together at the same time. Of course we didn’t forget Jiamin and Debbie, and Jon who is on exchange.

In my humble opinion, i think the dinner was great (can’t comment on the rest of the evening as i had to leave halfway through dinner for dance prac).

Vila’ge offers more variety of condiment for your meal (i’m a condiment person yes i am) - i’m so spoilt for choices that i took 2 plates, one for black pepper sauce, another for the norm.

The best part is that you help yourself to the sauce without having to go through the waiter, so you can have as much cream sauce as you desire. Woo hoo!

Not sure if the drinking buddy idea is going to work out, but i was glad to have beer last night.

Anyone wants to do lunch at Berkwerkz tomorrow? Let’s go for the beer at happy hour price. Last time i went, i had a jug and another pint, which made me frequent the washroom more times than i would like to.

Give me a buzz at either one of my numbers if you want to do lunch tomorrow.
