Gotten off Yahoo's website.

This stunningly expensive apartment shows how reasonably priced properties in Singapore are. Welcome to London's Knightsbridge neighbourhood, where this 77sq ft former storage room (or roughly 1/15 of my 3 room flat) goes on sale for the equivalent of over S$510000! Yes, this mousehole which is narrow enough to have a person stretch his arms to his sides and touch the walls was sold for over half a million bucks.

Why so expensive? Because the apartment (or space, or hole) is within walking distance of Harrods and Hyde Park. So the psf price of S$6700 of this space without electricity is good value compared to recent sales in the area which hit $9000 psf. That's 10 times the price of a luxurious district 10,11 condominium in Singapore! And yes, London is home to the most expensive properties in the world.

I'm most probably going for a semester of Spanish lessons once I'm cleared for electives again, so let me start the Spanish culture learning going with their fashion brands! Believe it or not, there're more big Spanish fashion brands sold in Singapore than you thought.



Zara, Camper shoes, Massimo Dutti formal wear, Springfield, Pull And Bear casual wear, Mango MNG ladies' fave, women'secret lingerie, designer label Balenciaga and Punto Blanco men's innerwear are all from Spain! A little surprised? Now you know not all apparel brands come from the US, France or Italy.

We spotted this cute little convertible in the North Spine carpark! Nope it doesn't belong to Darren.


So we all try to think of new fund-raising events, but SMRT's idea is pushing it a little. Pay $5 (if you're a student) or $10 (for organisations) each and you get to squeeze with numerous other people in a train, bus or cab for a transport sardine record! Good if you're squeezing with Christy Chung or Brad Pitt lookalikes but less so if the one right next to you is a sweaty middle-aged uncle!



Laundry disaster! Some may already know I caught a flu, so before throwing my berms into the wash I removed the piece of tissue paper in my right pocket. What I very unfortunately forgotten was there were 3 full packets of them in the left pocket. Results as shown. Advice? Always always ALWAYS check the pockets before throwing your clothes into the laundry.

Create mini fireworks of your own! Ingredients: charcoal, fire starter, barbeque pit, and a strong hand fanning the growing fire. Cool eh?


I love pun! And if you haven't realized, they were trying to nick Nike's tagline. This photo was taken last week so if you look at the promo period it's high time they took it down too!


My aunt bought this cute little cup of "snack noodles" from Hong Kong! There's a Hello Kitty sticker inside (which i already threw away) and the dried fish cakes are shaped like little Kitty heads!

That's all for now. I shall consider whether to post a picture of Huiyun eating with no image in the next post. HAHA!!

Many a times one feels that your boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend doesn't do enough. They never seem to call you enough, never seem to ask you about your day as much as you'd have liked them to, doesn't ask you out as often as you want to see them and never appear to be springing any surprises. We therefore conclude that actually they don't really care that much after all. But is that true? Do they not give a damn or are they just poorer at expressing themselves?

Some people only take action when bigger cracks begin to show. Or when some other events take place that causes separation. Like a break-up threat. Like a long term overseas posting or education. Like when your other half stop bugging and expecting some stuff to come from you. Then when the orange light lights up or just a second before the red one lights up, they suddenly show that they might still care. The common conclusion is therefore this person only treasures something when it is on the verge of being lost. Or maybe not. Maybe these people just have too much pride, or simply have no idea what to do before. So just before D-day, they'll try triply hard to say how much they really care.

Sadly sometimes it becomes a case of too little, too late. But at least if you've chosen to let go, you at least understood and know you've always been loved, except it was not always shown.

The first week of 2007 has already passed, which means a brand new year has started for everyone. Dreams of white Christmases and hordes of people pushing and shoving you to get a better view of the New Year's Eve fireworks have just ended. So of course it's a time for everyone to have brand new hopes and resolutions for the 365 days ahead.

I would like to:
be healthier,
get fitter,
dramatically improve this semester's lackluster GPA,
make some friends in hall,
learn Spanish,
be happy everyday,
and hope the same for everyone else.
*Beams* Ain't I a nice person?

I would not like to:
see Britney Spears without panties again when she's looking her current state,
fail physics again,
squash a snail unknowingly,
spoil my Puma bag or any of my gadgets,
be unable to buy everything I want during the HK trip cos I don't have enough cash,
listen to another Jessica Simpson song,
and hope the same for everyone else.
Again, ain't I nice?

Speaking of being a nice person, I just remembered what GR said today. He's nothing but a nice person. I think I am too. No special talents or whatever. But hey at least we're nice! So we rock!

Ok, end of my side tracking, if 2006 was sucky for you, let's hope '07 will be better! Good luck!
