- bummmble beee -

wow. it sure feels good seeing the day stretch on ahead of me, with nothing much to do, and much being really a LOT, such that i get so bummed out, i even missed the second part of the AMAZING RACE, just coz i wanted to rest my head on the pillows a mere 5mins before 10 o'clock last night.

i really should have known better.

sis tried, but in vain of course, countless times to drag me out of La- La- Land. she even claimed i actually sat up and stared at the TV, but plonked back down onto the pillows almost immediately. and freakily enough, i remembered none of that. must have been dreaming or sth and not fully awake. but its so darn irritating la ! coz i didnt get to see the morning showings of both parts, hoping to catch them in the night instead and sis said the second part was more exciting. like duhh. what with the detours and all. and the Gaghans in action.

here we're coming round the mountains here we come . .

argh. frustration.

but from the first part, i dont think im gonna like [ no i dont even like already ] the Paolos with the whiny and endlessly- squabbling sons and mom. the younger son is so the slenger la. and yet he was the only one who realised and acknowledged those two bros from ( i think ) Season 1, handing out the clues at that hotdog stall. and those pinky sisters are so damn noisy la ! with their high- pitched squeals and there are FOUR of them.

and i was telling sis, wouldnt it be great if past participants were to also hand out those clues just like these two bros. maybe Paige & Blake (!!)

anyways. am rooting for the Gaghans ! ( cutesy Carissa ! )

---

so i was involved in the Global Entrepolis S'pore on Tues as part of the manpower. though it was for just one day, i was so tired out by the time it ended i slept in early ( again! ) and yes, missed the EPL highlights which i still didnt get to catch, yesterday's morn at 11, coz i wasnt at home. yes, another bummer.

but we'll talk abt the event shall we, instead of dwelling on missed chances. heh.

it started at seven but we had to assemble by a freakin 630, which meant that i had to leave the house by 515, which also meant that i had to wake this log up at a freaking 430.

it was at Suntec.

and whats more irritating was that some even stroll- ed in at 7.

some pple just know how to irritate in style.

and Sherine, who was somewhat the overall- in- charge, tsk- tsked at my lack of make- up, [ i lied saying i did put some on, hoping that she'd buy it ] whisked me off to the toilet, and proceeded to pull a make- over on me. and i was like, great. here comes the breakouts. yeah. i have a love- hate relationship with make- up, which weighs more to the hate part.

anyways.
we were assigned to different groups, to diff OICs, to diff ballrooms for the diff conferences.

i got Marc(us), Jas(inder), Dan(iel), Alex and dear Joey [ thank gawd for her or i'll be smothered by the high testosterone level around me ] we got kind Janice as our OIC and so, we were in charge of Ballroom 1, which held the conference, Distinguished Technopreneurs Forum.

yup. a big mouthful. and what big people too.

but of course there are also some who action big only la. all that they were eyeing for were the ( free ) bags and laser pointer. typical K sporeans.

but though tiring, what with the 2 hr intensive preparation for the event and the endless seeing- to those who registered for the conference or not, it was nonetheless loads of FUN. i wished i could be involved for all four days. it ends today.

i mean, the four guys were loads of fun and Joey was such sweetness.

but of course there are moments of non- hecticness, usually when the conference has already started, in which the six of us would curi- curi the cookies and cakes from the refreshment area, but with Janice's secret approval of course, or just sit around chatting. all of us except for Jas, are from polys. and they're damn funny la !

had lunch at BK with Marc and Joey. no prizes for guessing who suggested it. hah. but had to rush back in 30minutes to let the other three have a go too. we were later treated to sundaes ( choc! ) by Janice. nice~

there were some reporters from CNA, covering the event. and loads of photographers, one of whom we made friends with. he even gave us his namecard, saying that should we need his help for our projects whatsoevers, he'd be only too glad to sponsor or sth like that.

then there was this speaker who didnt want all of his slides to be captured into the CD, lest some pple take away his ideas. coz they're supposedly very the special . . .

and many other scenarios la of the bizarre world of adulthood.

then towards the end, the six of us pakat2 to have somethingS for ourselves. as momentos . . bukan aperr. haha.

sigh.
such serendipity. truly treasured.


managed to will myself awake at 230 Wednesday morning, to catch the guys in action and thank gawd i did ! coz what an exciting match.
: )

stole some two hours of sleep before i embarked on a solo surveyor stint at SIM. and these kids are really loud-er than you expect them to be.

anyways.
dropped by Wdlands Lib ( been so long ! ) where there were some drama (!) involving this man with a booming voice and an amazingly patient librarian ( considering the situation ) but who also eventually, got fed- up with this unreasonable patron. borrowed another two books and hung around reading a few chapters of one of them before setting off.

thought i could finally rest this already- stretched- thin- self upon returning home, but there were some stuffs that just had to be done.

and hence, when 10 o'clock was approaching, i just simply could not hold it out any longer. heeh.

but the days seem to pass faster when you're busy.

it's already Thurs now from the last time i came in here to rant away at the mundane events of my life.

but thanks for being interested still anyway.
heh.

and adha. happy Bonjour-ing away !
=)
