Thanks for the e-card... my dear parents.

currently there is an uninvited big piece of LARD sleeping on my sofa. i was so angry when i had the sudden knews that the lard was coming to sleep over without my approval by the string bean. Some people will never change. Never change indeed, as the Lard is still as smelly as ever. my apartment now stinks like shit. smelly socks... smell of undried clothes/ sweaty clothes/ stinky body odour. i can go on and on about these mannerless people. but i've other things to think about. such as... yong tau fu.

anyway, my tonites plan with ahjihn has been cancelled. i was actually looking forward to it. good way to spend pre-labour day "partying". unfortunately, one of them fell sick so the whole thing was cancelled. nevermind... tonite is movie marathon on channel 5. Shoots! the smelly big is occupying the living area. maybe i should bring the tv into my room. i hate smelly people.

bought myself a pair of pants. realised that the color was darker than my suite. hmmm don;t think anyone would notice... would they? but anyway its still nonetheless a nice pair of pants. have to send it to be trimmed.

I've signed up for the DATUM: KL 2007/ UIA Regional Forum 2007 at KLCC on the 6-7 July.

Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA)
Ma Yansong

CM Lee & Kapil Gupta
Mok Wei Wei
Lillian Tay
Rory Mcgowan

So exciting indeed. now all i need to worry about is the cost for the whole trip.

SIA Dinner...

its shopping time... My boss has apparently "invited" us to attend the SIA annual dinner coming May. Ofcourse its never a choice when it comes to office events. We are a proud bunch and face is very important at MKPL.

But problem is... we're required to dress up formally. mens attire- Lounge suite. my current wardrobe has nothing of that standard. Hence we junior architects are given a $300 wardrobe allowance. Unfortunately, a $300 budget is not enough for me to get an Armani suite. sigh...
Should try an demand for more... if he insist that we need to "build up our wardrobe".

Anyway, the weekend is here. but have to head back office tomorrow and hopefully not Sunday as well. Crunch time...

Speaking of which, i'm getting hungry. John has really spoilt me on them sandwiches at The Sandwich Shop. die lar... brie and ham... yum yum. NO!! Yongtaofu! yummier!!

Very very... behind schedule

Current project i'm involved with. This is the showflat for the development located somewhere in Bukit timah. very posh wan eh. sneak preview... possibly be selling at $2000/sq f.



Kiasu engineer? with columns that big for a canopy... i think the purlins are totally redundant.

moonlight serenade...

have not been writing in this space for a very very long time. thats the problem when you don't have internet access at home. but ofcourse eventually there will always be time to do so.

whats been up? tsk tsk! collected my first pay cheque. sadly it isn't the full sum of my salary as i only started working on the 5th. now the next thing is to pass my probation period and get my name card... that would be the coolest thing in the world. i currently feel like a nobody during meetings etc. no namecards to give out.

this is going to be a pretty short week. the time passes so quickly here... yet not quick enough. but theres just so much to do in such a short time, or actually the client keeps squeezing our time shorter and shorter. so many meetings... so little time to complete stuff. sadly, the interns will be leaving us and heading back to school. guess who's left to pick up the leftover pieces.

watched SHOOTER over the weekend. Mark Wahlberg was the main star of the movie. it was okay. the action was pretty enjoyable, but the story line and the development of the characters werent really there. but it was good entertainment nonetheless. cinemas are good places to get away from it all. the layout is as similar to almost any cinema in the world, that you wont be able to feel the difference. watching a movie in Sg was not any different from watching a movie in aussie. in a sense its a place you sometimes can feel at home.

had a meeting with the marketing people organise by the project manager regarding the current project im doing. it was truly slightly a waste of time. tomorrow would be a long day the client's office.

thinking of what plans to make during the weekend. thinking of heading up kl to celebrate easter and do my banking stuff as well. still deciding.

anyway. i'm heading off. time to sleep.
