It has indeed been ages since I last blogged... I guess with the various forms of social media such as [FaceBook] & [Twitter] where I can post my thoughts & obtain almost instant feedback, there doesn't seem much of a pt to blog when I've to wait days for my friends to reply / comment on my thoughts...
Yes, I've a strong sense of present bias, apparently...
Yesterday was the 1st & last of my exams for the sem... & with tt, my university life has officially come to an end... Unlike the previous times when I transit through different stages of [SG]'s formal education system, this time, I'll be entering the working world... I've never liked the working a.k.a adult world... Ideas of 'responsibilities', 'insurance', 'office politics', 'networking' all seem to be associated with the adult world & I want no part of those...
I prefer to remain in the status quo... To study... To gain new knowledge... To forever be around 20+ yrs old hot young men...
My resistance to change is showing...
Anyway, I'm motivated to do this entry by [Steph]... She mentioned tt since she is currently 'unemployed', she shall start a blog entry detailing her 1st 30 days of unemployment... To log down the struggles tt she'll no doubt be experiencing as she attempt to gain employment...
I'm pretty sure tt the 1st few days of her entries (assuming tt she's really serious), will not be THAT depressing... Considering tt she's planning a hiking trip to the [Southern Ridges] this coming [Wed] & a staycation the following wk... I'm also involved in both of those activities, so this few wks of unemployment will be rather happening for myself too... LOL...
Anyway, after hearing what [Steph] was planning to do, I thought to myself, 'Maybe I should do some blog entries too... After all, I haven't been blogging for ages already...'
'Maybe I could also improve on my English...'
& so this blog is revived... Partially... I do realised tt the layout's kinda sucky... I've never had a flair for design, so I'm not gonna bother abt it... Though it's quite tempting to revert back to the previous skins tt I've used instead of changing them to new ones...
Then again, I just checked my com & I noticed tt I didn't save (or I lost) the codes for the skins tt I've previously used... HAIZZZZZ... ='(
Back to yesterday...
[Steph] mentioned tt she was going to town for lunch... To be even more precise, she's gonna be dining @ [Mandarin Gallery]... I decided to tag along since I've never been to [Mandarin Gallery] before... Mountain tortoise TTM, I know...
[Jones The Grocer] was the restaurant tt we went to & boy was the food there ex... Okay, it's in [Mandarin Gallery], so I shouldn't even be surprised tt it's pricey... So being the poor student (or rather, unemployed dude) tt I was, I was really trying to find something cheap & edible... A bowl of soup seems too little for a meal & I doubt I can survive on tt till my other dinner date @ 1900 hrs...
The end result??? I settled for some mushroom & chicken pie, & a cuppa hot chocolate with mint... I'm totally loving the latter cause THERE'S MINT!!! I absolutely love anything with mint in them... LOL...
I actually forgot the purpose of why [Steph]'s actually heading to [Jones The Grocer] when I placed my order... My memory was jolted when the waitress served us with a bowl of mushroom soup...
'Oh yeah, [Steph]'s here cause of her friend who's working as a chef...'
Yeah, so I ended up with a complimentary shroom soup too... It's those thick shroomy kinda soup... Not the creamy ones, which I like... HAHA... Well, it's a good thing tt I got the complimentary soup cause my pie's kinda puny so the soup kinda added the additional sustenance tt my stomach needed to survive for the next 5 hrs or so...
Oh, there's also a complimentary dessert by [Steph]'s friend... I was kinda paiseh to like leech on [Steph]'s contacts, so I ended up suggesting ordering 1 dessert to share since [Steph]'s kinda full too & I'm trying not to overeat on desserts least I really end up inflating since my metabolism is supposedly on the decline now tt I've reached the age of 25...
So we had a blackforest cake & the cake was kinda unique since there's banana in it too... I'm not a foodie, so I shall not go into the details of it cause my account's probably highly inaccurate...
It was also really nice of [Steph]'s friend to give us a staff discount of 20%, so it wasn't really tt painful on my wallet after all... LOL... XD
Met up with [DH] & [Mich] after lunch & the 4 of us subsequently went walking around [Orchard Rd]... Well, I was mainly doing the walking & checking into [4Square]... The other gals did some shopping... It was good company to banter...
I even stopped by [A&F] to check out the cologne... I just might consider buying it... I kinda like the scent, though I must remember not to spam it... It kinda gets a little unbearable if it's too strong...
Wow... I'm actually contemplating using a cologne... HAHA...
Okay... Actually, the main pt of me actually stepping into [A&F] is to check out the topless model... & BOY WAS THE MODEL STATIONED @ THE ENTRANCE EPICLY HOT... For the past 3 visits or so, the models had always been of 'meh' quality... Sure they've abs & everything... But the looks aren't just my cuppa tea, as much as eye candies go... But the model yesterday!!! GAWD... I seriously wanted to touch his abs, chests & arms... Basically any exposed skin area... HAHA... XD
In the end, I simply just ogled @ him from afar & didn't muster enough courage to take a pic with him...
I'm now full of REGRETS...
Around [1900 hrs], I headed to [PS] with the intention to borrow some novels, but tt didn't work out cause the books were still on loan... Bummer...
Then I met up with some dudes from the [BW Forum] for meal... There were some familiar faces, so it wasn't tt awkward... & I managed somehow managed to get comfy & chat with some of them...
I ended up not eating cause I wasn't exactly hungry, so @ [Hifumi], I settled for the free flow of drinks while the rest had the usual proper set meal tt comes with a main course & free flow of noms from the appetizer bar...
1 of my eye candy was there & it was kinda nice to chat with him... But it was slightly marred by the fact tt i think he's taken... *Sigh*
I overheard the other guys talking & they were commenting tt he's seeing some other equally cute dude while we were waiting @ the train station & MY HEART SANK when I digested tt info... Like, damn!!! Just when I thought I finally had the chance to try hitting on a guy... HAIZZZZZ... =(
Oh well, the overall dinner exp was great & I'm working my way to knowing those dudes better... Get more acquainted with the gay community so I don't feel so left out...
Tt said, I should re-consider volunteering @ [OC] again... This time, really put things into motion...
