High Stakes

had a haircut and 4 scoops of ice cream at Orchard today =)
one of those rare occasion when i allow myself to indulge in sweet sinful stuff.
hahah. i really do love Gelato and NZ Natural Ice Cream *salivates*
Haagen Daaz is too expensive while Ben & Jerry's melt too fast.
i am a conservative. i stick to traditional flavours of dark chocolate and cookies & cream.
i am boring. i don't like peanut butter or sticky cookie dough ice cream. *frowns*

did i tell you that i love zucchinis?
yah, that green cucumber-looking thingy.
now you know. i love zucchinis! esp when they are grilled. so yummy!
and i love fresh green salads with balsamic vinegrette.
did you know?
kiwis, cherries, and all sort of berries are rich in Vit C and anti-oxidants? enjoy!

with that casino debate going on on channel newasia.
i am against the casino idea in singapore.
well, one is coz i am catholic. technically, it's morally detrimental.
gambling encourages greed, self-indulgence and wastefulness.
i have been to casinos in HK and Australia.
i'm very impressed by Star City Sydney and Crown Melborne!
it's more than a casino. there's cafes, restaurants, theaters, musicals, cabaret performances etc.
it's fun and interesting. there's lot to do and see. it's a damn big and luxurious hotel as well.
but in Singapore, no one is going to come for the sole purpose of gambling. duh.
similarly, singaporeans do not go to HK or wherever with the only aim of gambling.
it's the whole vacation experience. eat, shop, relax, play a few rounds.
and if they intend to have a casino in addition to attarct convention visitors,
well. conference visitors are not high-risk gamblers. they are attending a conference.
they will be tired and busy. they will visit the casino, for novelty's sake.
and no one is gonna let you gamble the roulette for $2, unlike buying Toto.

oh. Gabriel is getting me a new Bible. yay!
the Good News Version. heard that is friendlier for beginners.
i quite like the New King James too. nvm. safer to stick to a Catholic approved one.
thanks guy!

wanted to Phuture tonight. pity that no one was interested. a start to a boring weekend.
Jared's broke so leeching on girlfriend. Johnny's playing mahjong in slippers.
Huiling's home doing work. i was waiting for my mobile to heave a sign of life.
damn. i miss ending the wild nite with Limpkin Park - Jay Z's Encore.

well. i guess i am alwiz bored. that's why i need someone spontaneous and fun-loving.
believe me. i am not a pessimistic moody grouch. i am grouchy only coz i'm bored.
i like to have people to 'lead' me (by force or persuasion). lift me up!
i don't ask for a lot of stuff. i don't need material things.
i am only asking for someone who has the zest for living a fulfilling life.
like swimming, beach bum -volley, picnic and listen to concert in the park.
cooking at home together, painting a doodle, or even washing the car can be made fun.
just the simple joys of couplehood. no, chilling out at home before tv is not my kinda fun.
i really don't enjoy watching tv. it's totally mindless. movies are okay since they are occasional.
i am someone who loves the great outdoors (read: only when weather's great)
as long as you can interest me with your suggestion.
bottomline: i am not a sedentary animal. i need to move around and be entertained.

nex week. gotta run a trip to ACM to appreciate artifacts and prep a short presentation.
otherwise have to do Commodification of Art. either Peranakan or Thai art.
okay. i am enjoying what i am doing now. anthropology of Southeast Asian Art.
Irving scolded me on Wed. i came late so missed the first part of instructions.
ended up drawing the wrong thing. what pissed him off?
i used a ruler to draw a right-angle triangle... ...
lesson learnt: never be late for Irving's art lesson.
the best part?
i handed in the wrong assignment. he wanted 5 of the same motif in a row.
i gave him 5 individual pieces. not gonna imagine what he's gonna remark nex week... till then.
