did a photoshoot last night. feeling extremely tired, nevertheless, excited to receive the photos soon! it was one hell of an experience.. made used of everything single object in the venue, not to mention the roads…

u may find the background familiar…

how i used it was for commercial purposes…

thanks to min’s recommendation, we had a great dinner @ Amara.. feeling so bloated now. (*0*)!

All the appetizers! kimchi soup, seaweed, apple/potato salad, kimchi, radish, etc..
i like the kimchi soup.. cold-sour-sweet.. yum yum..

they had a staff assigned to our table to bbq the meat..

she even cuts the meat into pieces..
all the smoke is sucked into the vaccum around the hotplate.. so no smoke, no smell!
we had pork, chicken, beef…

this is raw crab..

this is how the raw meat looks.. felt disgusting at first but the taste was pretty alright..

we ended off with a seafood hotpot.. soup was very very tasty!
that’s callum’s fingers.. lol.. he was bewildered why i took photos of the food. min said it’s the new generation. haha..

we had a great discussion on comestic surgery too.

In the French calendar, every single date is named after a Saint. It is said that the Saint would be your guardian angel and therefore, besides birthday, there’s also Saint Day. Some people choose a name for their child by referring to the calendar.

examples:
3 Jan – Geneviève
21 Jan – Agnès
22 Jan – Vincent
7 Feb – Eugénie
8 Feb – Jacqueline
22 Feb – Isabelle
10 March – Vivien
12 March – Justine
27 July – Nathalie
11 Dec – Daniel

so sad. there’s no jeanine.

It’s amazing how parents choose the names without knowing the meanings. Especially printemps, été, automne, hiver, fete nationale, mardi-gras, noel. They signify spring, summer, autumn, winer, national day, “tuesday-fat”, christmas.

I will laugh off my head if someone says, “Je m’appelle Mardi-Gras.” lolx.

What’s your Style of Loving?

Eros – passionate, intense and fast moving. Not confined to sexual passion. Eros may be expressed in spiritual, intellectual or emotional ways.

Storge – comfortable “best friends” kind of love that grows gradually to create a stable, even-keeled companionship.

Ludus – playful, sometimes manipulative style of loving. For ludic lovers, love is a challenge, a puzzle, a game to be relished but not to lead to commitment.

Mania – unsettling style of loving marked by emtional extremes. Mania lovers often are insecure about their value and their partner’s commitment.

Agape – selfless kind of love in which a beloved’s happiness is  more important than one’s own. Agapic lovers are generous, unselfish and devoted.

Pragma – pragmatic and goal-oriented style of loving. Pragmas rely on reason and practical considerations when initially selecting people to love.

Should have blog about it earlier. Because it came out for today’s paper. damn. got it wrong.

Maritess vs. Superfriends.

It’s not just about the humor but addresses on certain issues of Philippinos..

Cherisse Beh. Work. 2007. www.marketing-interactive.com

Global – Approximately one in seven Facebook users are logged in and active all the time while at work, according to an global online survey done by Sophos on a sample of 500 Facebook members in September and October this year.The purpose of the survey was to examine the implications on workforce productivity for companies that permit employees to have uncontrolled access to Facebook during office hours. 37.2% visited the site once or twice a day and 8% admitted using it up to 10 times a day, however the majority amounting to about 40% insist on their non-involvement in the social net work sites while at work.

Graham Cluley senior technology consultant at IT security and control firm Sophos said, “The results show that more than one fifth of these users are abusers. They’re struggling to tear themselves away from the website when they should be concentrating on their jobs. Several trade unions have spoken out in the site’s defence, suggesting that employers should put more trust in their workforce, and clearly the majority of people are using the site in moderation while is there a likelihood the 20% of addicts could ruin it for other rule-abiding users.”

Some organisations such as Lloyds TSB, Credit Suisse, Transport for London and Kent County Council have blocked access to Facebook. Cluley added there has been furore at every organisation that blocked access to the site.

A similar research was conducted in August by a Sophos poll of 600 employees, 43% revealed access to Facebook was blocked by their companies while 50% said their company did not block access to Facebook, with 8% specifying the reason was fear of employee backlash while 7% shared that usage was limited to only employees with specific business requirements.

According to Peninsula, an employment law firm, an estimated 233 million hours are lost every month in the UK due to employees using social networking sites.

someone should ban facebook on my laptop too.. im so distracted!!

It’s the months of weddings now. Everyone is exchanging vows at the end year.. There are so many weddings going on. Eugene is still holding on to another 4 more wedding invitations. Pamela had attended 2, this is the 3rd. Another friend came around 10+pm as he rushed from another wedding dinner. My GOSH~

We have another invitation on Christmas Eve, in Shanghai. I doubt i’ll be going.. That also means i’ll be spending christmas alone in Singapore.

Samuel + Quintella

11 years of dating… since JC days..

The Beaufort Singapore, Sentosa… What a beautiful sunset~

If not for the wedding, i never would find out that Samuel is actually quite good-looking! He kinda just couldnt be bothered to look good everyday.

While the pastor was going through the routine stuffs, i began to imagine myself in the situation.. I cant forsee myself saying “I do”, I will”.. It’s pretty scary. takes alot of courage to say so and, the moment will hit you as it comes. I wondered if anyone back-out on the spot.

My french class in NTU. The ones who made my semster enjoyable! Not to mention my lecturer, Nicholas. Such a jovial and interesting guy! very charming too~ (not looks, but character. lol.)

The other day, we had dinner @ Kuriya.

i saw them alive.. and the next moment, they were in this state…

I think the ones made for japanese snacks taste better.. this is cruelty!! ahhh…

the chef recommended us some puffer fish sashimi. suprisingly, the texture of the flesh was so good. no wonder ppl are willing to risk their life for puffer fish! but no worries, the chef at kuriya is certified and im still alive. The poisonous part comes from the liver and you will die with 8 secs if ya poisoned! Apparently, you will feel a numbness in the tongue as a sign. hmmm…

i’m feeling so reluctant to study.. i have only managed to finish the readings on the imc part.. with work and events clashing into my exams, may i be blessed…

We were discussing about living in the city and staying further away. Have you calculated the time u spent travelling to work/study everyday?

For me, it takes 2 hours to reach NTU. 1 day, i spent 4 hours on travelling. 3 days a week, that’s 12 hours. 1 month, it’s 48 hours which is equivalent to 2 days! Not counting the energy level, sleeping hours and my fatigue level that are lost..

Furthermore, if you’re working, translate the hours to the economical value.

Well, of course living in the city area is costly as compared. But, i think i rather stay nearer..

It’s amazing how japan and paris have a metro station within every 200metres. how great that will be if we have it in Singapore. Heard that they are extending the west line track to somewhere near city harvest. entrance to NTU. Hopefully it’s true.

i’m so so so so worried that i will fail the module ‘Media Professions and Practices’. I screwed up my term paper. And exams weigh a major part of the final grade. There are so much to memorize and understand. Everything single little issue from journalism to film to television to advertising to public relations. And bottomline, i don’t understand.. Je ne comprend pas!

I dont wana retake the module!!!!
