Pasir Panjang Market

Went to Pasir Panjang wholesale market with Jiawen on tuesday night. It was quite an eye opener for I had never been there. The place was huge and goods aplenty. Though the timing was exactly good for seeing all the activities, but seeing the place would roughly tell you how the people work there. Maybe I’ll visit there again some other time. Pretty interesting. (why I went there? Its confidential)

IA

Been cycling to work for the week. Feels good to save money and time this way. Here’s a breakdown of the tangible benefits:
Time:
By Bus: Leave home at 0747 to take bus 293 arriving at 0750 (60cents?)
Reach the interchange around 0805, wait for 10 or 31 (80cents?)
Usually reach office around 0830.
Total time: around 45 minutes. (Timing for getting home is worse)
Total cost: $1.40 per trip

By Cycle: Leave home after 0800
Reach workplace around 0820
Reach desk around 0825
Total time: around 25min
Total Cost: Nil

Actually I dun even break into sweat whilst cycling to work, so its still not too bad, at least I won’t smell and there’s no need to bathe. (no bathrooms here too)

Downside: Bad weather
======

Think my sup saw me playing free cell on the comp on Monday. Though he didn’t say anything about it, but now he comes over more frequently. Probably to check if I’m still on the game or not. (Using MS Word to write my blog isn’t that attention-seeking) Ha ha ha. Well, its time to get serious at work. Got plenty of stuff coming in, must clear them ASAP.

Got a runny nose at my work place, but it seems to heal miraculously whenever I set out of the building to go for lunch or home. Perhaps the humidifier is spoilt or something. But only me n my EEE mate are the ones suffering. Maybe the old birds here are accustomed to it. But now I’m down with fever. Probably the runny nose I got from the office was the catalyst for it. One public holiday wasted at home….

Dear

I was a bit surprised when dear told me that the guy who bought a textbook from her kept trying to get to know her better. Hahaha. Ok, to those who are reading this, I would ask you: Would you feel flattered or bothered if someone you don’t know tries to ‘approach’ your BF/GF?

Initially, I used to feel the former. Somehow it sort of like proves that your partner is attractive, and it indirectly boosts your ego (to have such an attractive partner). However, when it gets too disturbingly close and frequent for comfort, it calls for some concern.

Brought dear along with jiawen to boon lay market for supper on Tuesday night. Whilst she was looking at the menu of one of the stalls, a table of beer-guzzling uncles were staring at her (dear didn’t notice it). I immediately stood in between her and the uncles to stop them from looking at her (no thanks to her FBT shorts). Until then did I realize that it doesn’t feel good if when your partner is attracting the wrong kind of attention.

Now I wonder? Why would any BF allow their GF to wear revealing mini-skirts to go out shopping? Free eye feast for those guys out there? (I admit I’m one of them) I’m not against mini-skirts. In fact, I love it. (on OTHER pretty girls) Just that I’d never allow my dear to wear it to go out. Cause she is mine.
actually i wanted to post this on wednesday night but i couldn't access the website. perhaps 56k is really that lousy
