So I just came home from ice-skating 15 minutes ago and after rushing to switch on the heater, I started smelling something burning... Like a dog, I sniffed all around the place, afraid that it would be the stove or whatever that I forgot to turn off.
Then, I found the toilet reeked of that same burning smell and is in the danger of spreading slowly over into my room, I closed the door and wondering if the neighbour's house is on fire and I am supposed to run out soon...
It hit my mind that this smell is really familiar... some freaking a**h*** smoking pot!!! Wah lau! Immediately I felt like I was staying in Bronx with a drug dealer as my neighbour.... why???? This floor has some really nice families and I have never seen anyone with a crook face walking around...
Come think of it, I saw a couple of Latino men the other day walking from the corridor towards the elevator... for a moment I thought they were plumbers (forgive my stereotyping) and never gave much of a thought.
I hope that they are not my new neighbours, and this freaking smell goes away and never come back again... Otherwise I am going to be sooo irritated!! ARgghhh...

Katy Speaks
在這裡認識了一個台彎女孩。。不要問我怎麽認識的，因爲連她自己也說我根本就是那种走在街上都可以交得到朋友的人。。。 =_= （我沒有，只是在公車站~）
Anyway,重點是，這個人，好厲害拍照！！而且文筆也不錯（這個是讀了她的blog才發現的）！所以我就把她的部落格的網址放在這裡。。。有空去看看。 本人覺得她的照片裏的紐約好浪漫。。跟自己拍下來的頽廢骯髒（倒像是中國某城市）就是天差地別。同一個城市可以讓不同的人拍出不同的景觀，就是紐約吧（也是她與我拍照功力上的差別？）。。

It's the time of the year again...
Yesh, one of my favourite holidays of the year is nearing at a lightning pace!! Wee~ Though excited that this will be a 3rd white christmas, I did not really plan for anything big like going on a holiday (I am so ready for another getaway...) for this long break.
I think I have said before that Christmas is very romantic to me, a time that, in my personal opinion, is probably more romantic than Valentine's itself. I like the feeling a lot, although it does not translate to "I have a date for Christmas", but more to just a scent of romance in the air (maybe I am thinking too much?). Whatever the case, this again definitely is another passing year of "Christmas with friends".
Yes, you have sensed a hint of loneliness in the above paragraph.. haha.. It is kinda, considering the fact I am in another country where family is 10,000 miles away celebrating a warm, humid Christmas with the annual ritual of driving down the Orchard Road to see the lightings... It might even be too cold for me to do anything outside or be with anyone else...
This is also the time of the year for me to do some self-reflection, probably because the day after christmas marks a year older for me (and from now on officially counting down to the big 30!). I've liked to think that whatever self-reflections done in the past meant that I am constantly changing for the better and getting more wisdom in life... wisdom is the only thing that I've ever hoped for since I do not have the better looks nor the bigger boobs. Right now, the self-reflection, is, why do I go through yet another Christmas, as a single status for the 2X th year of life? Yes, I must do some serious self-reflection (maybe consider a face or boob job as a birthday present for meself?? heh...) So, this is it, a little post to fill up the pages with thoughts about Christmas.
Happy Christmas and Wishing 2010 would be a better year for all of us!

最近... 真的是懶到不行
真的是，好沒有動力啊！
工作沒有干勁... 每天遲到，不是因爲沒有早起，而是準備了卻不肯準時踏出家門。。。硬是賴到過了時間才出門。。。
然後到公司上班也沒有什麽幹勁。。。唯一的樂趣就是午飯時間看小説，做OT也是‘陪’小説online... sigh... 然後每天繼續接收有人又被炒魷魚的新聞。。。 totally de-moralize!!
回到家裏，已經餓到前胸去貼後背了，可是還是不想去煮晚餐。。。像現在一直想象熱騰騰的晚飯，然後一邊繼續餓肚子寫blog。。。
如果人生像這位仁兄那就真的是太幸福了，吃都要躺下來。。。
就算被宰也算是值得了。

Diane Birch Gig
Okay, I'm back-dating my blog post, because I simply lacked inspirations to write about whatever is happening in my life (read: I'm just friggin' lazy to blog).
Anyway, just to update. I went to Diane Birch's gig earlier during December with a friend in City Winery, Manhattan. I have to say, she has an amazing voice and sounds as good as it is on her CD.
Amazingly, she is very petite and my friend could not see her when she sat down and played the piano. The stage had two pianos for her to play, one of them was right in the front of the stage. Felt sorry for people who came early and sat right in front of the stage, they were literally staring the back of that piano and couldn't see anything at all. I think they later moved further away.
City Winery had a slight weird arrangement on stage, but other than that, overall the show was great, the wine et cheese was fantastic, and a great company (my friend). Great night out.
My best song is still 'Nothing But A Miracle'. This song gives a very 'Lost love in Manhattan winter' feeling and sets the mood for Christmas just right. Posted some photos of her at City Winery.
Update! I have uploaded video of the live show on youtube:
Nothing But A Miracle Part 1
Nothing But A Miracle Part 2

最近迷上。。。
Food: Pepero - almond by Lotte. Bought it at Korean Supermarket called HMart at $3.19 per pack. How addicted am I to these? I ate this for lunch while mapling on one weekend; eating as a dessert after dinner now (11.50pm) while blogging...
Game: Maple Story!! - it is back!! After one whole year since I realised I was not able to play on my Laptop (Vista, 64-bit), I was soo sad that I did not play any more games on the laptop; use it only for watching movies, dramas, listening to music and, of course surfing Internet (all done simultaneously). How addicted am I now? I spent 20 hours withing a weekend to level up and kill the monsters so to earn mesos and buy clothes (aka amor) for my near-naked characters...
Shopping: Amazon.com. Bought tons and tons of CD, electronics, mp3s, books etc. etc. from online shopping, because I realised that it is cheaper than mega chain stores here and is almost impossible to drive around different towns just to find another small brick-and-mortar store selling it slightly cheaper. Gas would have been part of the cost.
Entertainment: Live Gigs in Manhattan!! - nothing beats good live music at an affordable cost! The average cost of going to a show at a bar/restaurant is around USD$15.00 - USD$20.00< (sometimes free, just pay for drinks) in New York City. Very affordable entertainment, considering they are really good artists (e.g. múm from Iceland, Diane Birch from Oregon, Tahiti 80 from France, Lymbyc Systym etc. etc.), coupled the fact that some of these indie singers/bands will NEVER come to Singapore... Definitely well-worth the time and monies to watch good live shows in Manhattan, comparing to paying over SGD$200.00 for a front-row concert in Singapore (although I have to say 陳琦貞 is d-best!!), and comparing to paying USD$12 for a movie on weekend evenings?!
Guess this really reflects my current lifestyle overseas and everyday life. :)
