I passed by this music school today in causeway point and went in to check if they have flute lessons. They do, but the days they are giving lessons are the ones that I need to work late. This is getting frustrating, because somehow all the courses I want to take up happens to be on the days I can't make it.
Anyway I was asking the sales person, will it be more difficult for me to play the flute if I have thick lips. The reason I asked was because I used to be in a military band in secondary school and I was an alto saxophonist. When we first joined the band, the teacher had us lined up one by one and studied our lips before assigning us to our instruments.
So from my observations, all the fellow saxophonists had thick lips like mine, whereas flutists generally have pretty thin lips. So from that time onwards, I always had this view that shape of your lips affects the type of instruments that you can play. And I tried playing a flute before when I was in the band(borrowed for fun from the flutists) and no sound came out, haha.
Hmm, but the sales person told me no, it doesn't influence at all. It must have seemed a funny question, but I have my basis for asking.
But now I did a search online and it seems that having thinner lips will aid your progress in learning to play the flute as they will find it easier to control the high notes. So that's why...
Anyway a beginner's flute will cost $500. So it's time to save up, unless I can get a cheap deal from auctions or places like cash converters. I love music.

One boring Friday morning at work
See, I had a new phone.
And I discovered a world I never know.
Things like, I can actually upload songs to my hp..!
Or select my ringtone from songs stored in my hp..
And all these years, I was wondering..
And because I was wondering aloud to my colleagues, they went to the trouble of showing me the extent of their astonishment...
My colleague Bryan who is a part-time and a hoot-ter.
Another part-timer Belinda, an innocent girl who has since gone to further her studies.
This is a cute bear in our office. Not mine, unfortunately.
They disfigured the poor bear.
Bear: %^$#$Y^$%$@!!

New Fossil Bag, he's the best!~
Saw this bag in Cleo recently and I even pointed out to him that this is the kind of bag I liked, but at that point of time I din know that it was from Fossil la. So the next weekend, we were shopping in Ion and this bag was beckoning me right from the Fossil shop!
A few days later...
Me: Hey, I really liked the bag from Fossil le.
Him: How much is it?
Me: $xxx
Him: Ok, I buy it for you if you hit your sales target as a reward.
Me: But by that time, maybe they don't have any stock anymore...
Him: Ok, I buy for you tomorrow.
And now, I am happy to say that I already hit the sales target today(yayy!).

Money, I need lots of it
Money money money! These few weeks I have been engrossed in making more money. Although you can't take it to your grave, but I don't even think I have any left to take it to my grave anyway after I paid off my debts.
I have my outstanding insurance premiums of hundreds, my hp bills of $300+ (more than the cost of my hp, bloody hell)which I accumulated in that one week Perth holidy, plus some of the money loaned from my aunt for the spending expenses in Perth. (another $200)
So I need more money!

Gemstone Personalities
Apparently, the gemstones you like can help identify some of your personal qualities and characteristics.
My favourite is amethyst, followed by pearl!~
Gemstone Personalities: Amethyst
If you have chosen the Amethyst as your personality, this means you are very spiritual and thoughtful. You are intuitive and sensitive. You have the ability to aid others ingetting in touch with their own faiths. You look for higher values, rather than practical things. Your complement stone is the Agate. Agates can help you back down to earth after an over abundance of intuitiveness.
Gemstone Personalities: Pearl
Pearl gemstone personalities are sensitive and feminine. You are supportive and securing - a Motherly type of person. Always the lady, you act, dress and speak properly at all times. Your compliment stone is Jade. Jade will help you become more assertive and practical when those times are needed.

One of my new colleagues mentioned Philippines is a very nice place to shop.
I wonder why?
Manila is the capital, when I think of it, I feel very excited.
Too bad I am not made of money, otherwise I would really want to travel round the world.
But for the nearby places, there is still horse riding, danga bay, and hmm..

Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality.

People with this kind of character are few and far between.

How i spent my weekend
Fri
Kbox ktv from 7pm to 11pm. Now that I come to think of it, even though the rates are exorbitant, I am also saving up on my dinner which could come up to $10. So minus the dinner, I am paying $20+ for 4 hours. My fav food item there is the sashimi, which I can eat to my heart's content. On the bright side, it contains alot of proteins and EFAs!
Sat
Slacked at home. Watch some episodes of Boys over Flowers in the afternoon, I don't really fancy any of the male leads though. Not my cup of tea.
Bro came over in the evening, so the whole family went out to Crystal Jade for dinner at Causeway Point, then to Orchard Ion to walk around. The shops were all closed as it was already 10plus when we reached there, but like us, alot of people were walking around just to gawk at the decor.
We went into the ladies toilet on the basement. Out of the 17 cubicles inside, it just so happens that I walked into the one that has SHIT in it. I dunno if it's my sight or smell that registered first, but then they came together with a bang. Why bother to build such nice toilets when there are still uncivilized people who left their SHIT there just like a dog marks it's territory?
After Ion, we went over Mustafa Centre for a quick walk. I bought this interesting gadget which is a facial exfoilater but looks just like a gigantic toothbrush that is battery-operated. Been trying out in the shower...it feels like you are brushing your face.
Sun
Benny and I had an appt with Faith, our insurance agent for our half-yearly reviews. She seems to be quite through with him, but not so when it comes to me. That's becos they both know my eyes glazed over when she starts explaining to me..even though I tried to look like I understand and did the cursory nodding head action.
After that, we met up with Syl and Joa. Syl bought this kate spade bag that *gasp* costs $300+. And *gasp* it was originally priced at $700+. I cun fathom why a bag would be worth that amount of money, but then maybe I shd starting learning how to appreciate this kinda stuff.
Ate at Dian Xiao Er, one of my fav eating places. I think the roast duck there is pretty good. After that, we headed on to Gloria Jean for cakes bfore heading home.
