For some strange reasons not known to me, the photos in the earlier entry are like kinda totally huge and spilling out of the blog body. But I can't really be bothered. HAHAHAHA. Be right back. Again. (=

Photos from the helipad! Not Helipad as in the club at Central, but as in LITERALLY, the freakin' helipad on top of Swissotel The Stamford... I went to the totally exclusive event with my boss... cuz my boss rocks. Haha. The view was FREAKIN' AWESOME and I thought it was comparable to the view from Victoria Peak in Hongkong.... except you can go to the peak at anytime but you can't exactly saunter onto the helipad as and when you like... So this experience was WAY COOL! Our colleague Kamal was supposed to come along, but he had other appointments til really late... so its his loss and I've rubbed it in for him repeatedly. HAHAHA!!!

Everything seems so nearby when you're 73 stories up. Its so freaky! But so darn cool at the same time!

I have absolutely no idea how to make the words stand out more... I thought I could do some magic with photoshop but apparently, I couldn't -_-" Oh well.

We wanted to take a proper picture of us with the helipad at the back and has several failed attempts to do so ourselves.... So clever me (can't stand me, can you?) opened my eyes as big as they could go and smiled very sweetly to the security dude standing on a mini podium (to prevent people from falling off the edge) to take a photo for us from a higher point so that we could achieve that effect. Teehee. Success!!....

Boss made me point at it. He says its to show that we ARE at the highest point.... but looking at the picture, its kinda like.... Pointless pointing. Haha.

On the way down to New Asia, I saw Dylan! He's the editor of VIP mag and used to be a StarBlogger on STOMP!

(Pardon the blurred photo. I didn't take it) I was so glad to finally meet him! I've met everyone else (except Dawn Yang, cuz she was in NYC) at the STOMP singles party earlier this year... so Dylan pretty much completed the equation a bit more. Haha.

We ended up at the same table (=

Some random scenery I snapped when I got bored enough. Looking at everything from a very high point truly fascinates me. Even in the day time... everything looks so darn awesome. Like the last time I went to Equinox with my dearest friends on my birthday earlier this year.... That was in the day time, but the view kicked ass anyways...

Happy people (=

Me and Boss. Boss = Andy = ND. Ok? Don't be gaberah in future when I mention the name. Kamal is also known to me as Dean so Kamal and Dean are the same person. I'm just weird like that.

Random thought: Catch ND with the Morning Ching Chang Show from 9am to 12pm on weekdays! Following that, tune in to the 'FAME' or 'FLAME' show with VTAY from 12 to 3pm! Only on The170.com! Singapore's 1st Online Radio Station!

Hahaha. The reason why there's The170.com labelled on all the photos is because I've already put up the photos on the site... and it took me that long to put it here on my own blog... and since I took all these pictures, I freakin' own it and I can put it wherever the heck I want to... so yes. Hahaha. Its totally troublesome to re-do the labelling anyways.... so I just chucked it here as-is.

This is something that inspired me some time back... Strange how much it still makes sense to me, but in such different ways...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. — Nelson Mandela

10 random and possibly weird things about me that you might or might not already know... and I don't mind you knowing:

1) There is no house phone in my house because no one used it after we all obtained our respective mobile phones, and therefore my mom cancelled the damn line. The ONLY way to contact me at all times is via my mobile phone. I draw the line between on-the-grid and off-the-grid hours solely at my own discretion... Very simply put, I WON'T ANSWER CALLS, RETURN MISSED CALLS OR REPLY TO SMSES just because I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT... so call back tomorrow if its that important. (I know the important numbers and those are the only FEW I will answer AT ANYTIME.)

2) I don't call people. People call me. I prefer SMS-ing. I only call when its absolutely necessary... like to order food, call for a cab or to get large amounts of facts across when its too troublesome to type out an entire SMS for that shit when a few sentences over the phone can get it done. BUT if I just can't be bothered at all, you can wait.

3) I hate peanuts.

4) One of my goals is to be able to speak at least 10 languages someday. I have a fascination for languages. Much to the surprise of many people, I can actually read, write and speak Mandarin rather decently... WITHOUT the fake "wannabe-ang moh" accent... just because I was educated mainly in English doesn't mean I have to be that way... and I think that any Chinese Singaporean who grew up here and went to school here should ALL be sufficiently fluent in both languages... otherwise, you pretty much just wasted your life and wasted what the education system tried to give you. Don't be too proud of it. Knowing languages is an advantage.

5) I have to smell good, or neutral at the very least. I get overly self-conscious if I don't smell decent or bearable. I WOULD spray perfume on my hair if I think my hair stinks, and I don't care if its bad for my scalp.

6) I love walking long distances during unearthly hours and catching the city in a lockdown state.

7) I read because I constantly feel the need to stop getting caught up in the reality of the 3rd Dimension which you fully exist in.

8) I clean the opening of canned drinks rather thoroughly before opening them and pouring the drink out because my mom told me some stories about rat shit that caused a tidal wave of paranoia/OCD to crash down on me. I won't tell you the story yet, but my brain has never been the same ever since. It got twisted and flushed into the 4th Dimension... which I partially exist in.

9) Kim Hyun Joong is my current celebrity crush. I haven't had a single celebrity crush after I turned 12, and yet its happening now when I'm 21. Kim Hyun Joong is something else...

10) I haven't flown a kite in my entire life, I kid you not.
