Down Memory Lane
Ok, the writers' strike earlier this year in La-La land had caused many shows to be reduced from their original schedules and since it's now June, all the shows I had been watching have also finished their runs. Somehow, Desperate Housewives had a really huge shocking finale when the show ended with a time morph showing Wisteria lane 5 years into the future and Susan having a new husband despite her having gave birth and married to Mike this season. Bleah.
Over at the other show, Betty is faced with 2 guys and she cannot decided on who to choose, and moi is getting really tired of her, but just in time, a new boy popped up and claimed to be her boss' son. Interesting.
Then of course my favourite CSI dramas, Gary Doudan's character is killed off, meaning 2 cast have left the series this season, but as long as the lao chio Catherine Willows on the show, and the funny lab assistant stays, i am happy. Haratio Cain's gunned down, but I really doubt he died since he is like central to the entire moody-gloomy-setting pivotal to Miami. Over in NYC, i really don't give a damn who leaves cos it's the city that mesmerizes me anyway.
Across the Atlantic, hotel babylon is somehow lost in the midst of BT torrents and i really dunno what happened to it. But another 2 key characters left the show and frankly, my interest in that is so low that n amount of posh 5 star services can perk me up.
Which brings us back to the greatest city on earth in NYC where the gossip girls are so deserving my unwavering attention till the next season starts.
Ok, the whole point of this post is in the years leading to all of this. Moi has seen so many TV shows that somehow, every time one of my favourites ends (and I mean series finale) I will be so lost and sad and somehow, unwilling to give other new series a chance. o, when people starts dying off and flashbacks starts coming in to TV, i really do fear that the show will just go boom. and I'll have to filter through all the new shows to pick one that I'll like.
A decade ago (gosh, i am actually able to relate stories now with the term decade!) Ally Mcbeal and Friends were the de facto must watch, and I was devastated and i actually swore off TV after they ended! Until Sex and The City and Will & Grace came along, my life was spent channel surfing on crappy shows.
There was a show called Everybody Loves Raymond which all loves, but somehow, I hated him. Then of course in between, there were Malcolm in the Middle which I thought was stupid and 2 Guys, A Girl and A Pizza Place which became plain ridiculous after they dropped the pizza place from their title in season 2.
Finally, when I started my military in 2002, CSI came along and relight the TV fire in me. Then their spin offs came along and throughout the last 4 years in college, Desperate Housewives and Will & Grace kept me going. somehow, rumour has it that DH will end in 2 years time after season 7 and moi is sad. I just hope gossip girl will last and actually make itself entertaining after 2 seasons. I mean, I am so sure the series will be canned after all the characters left high school.

big brother is watching
and i mean really watching. UP CLOSE.
today's papers had a local resident being arrested when he's at home (presumably in his boxers watching the TV or surfing porno website) by the local police because he made some racist comments on his blogs (if he's surfing porn then the police are so lucky to be able to add another charge). As I couldn't blatantly read that piece of article in the office since that is under Home news and media scanning on my part largely, or rather, most exclusively, revolved business articles,all I managed to stael a glance was "The local police raided his home" or something like that.
Yes, apparently, police raiding homes are the norm here in Singapore. Don't you love our sunny country where all the sun goes to waste cos nude tanning is illegal too? I mean, ok, the guy was wrong with his comments on the blog, but raiding his home? Ain't that like so, erm, communist era? It's such news that really makes me wanna get outta here and re-locate. It's also such news that reminds me to keep my blog in check and not be offensive. Because somewhere in novena, the internal security department is religiously monitoring all, and i mean ALL, internt activities.
Anyway, I realised upon googling (doncha love google?) that the said blogger called himself frangrance prince. YES. I am not kidding. It's amazing how people can name themselves in various fanciful words. If I were to have one, i think i'll call myself laddy macbeth...haha, get it?
Kindda like you office's IT system. Apparently, the folks in moi's office all knows I have a blog cos niggy mouthy moi let slipped the info. Ok, I partly wanted to gain more redership too so that I can be like those few star bloggers featured in the papers who earn few extra mooh lahs per month from advertisers. I am poor ok. Need money, and to get money, need exposure. not in the naked way, please.
So, remember what I said bout my office building's men's toilets having a better view than from my office? Well, at least the view from where I am sitted is bleah. I managed to get photos from the men's room. without the men of course, though I am sure some of you out there are disappointed. I am sure my place will be raided if there's a men in the men's room on my photos.
also, an accident happened just below my block and this time, sadly, no fatalities, but still, it was the most dramatic crash in years because depite the dent in the car, the driver was stuck in his seat as the door could not be opened post accident. the first time in the few crashes at this spot that I had seen an ambulance coming down with paramedics. Drama, I like.
But seriously, it just shows how goon some drivers can be. I mean...will it kill to slow down in a heartland?! You're not on the freaking Highway, you know. What's the rush? Ain't it worse now that you're caught in an accident and you do realise that time pst accident will not have happened if you used your brain and judgement to drive more carefully and slowly? Tis is another peeve here that makes me wanna re-locate. And I am not even a driver myself.

Another (Another, Another!) Bag(s) to my collection
Well, my Longchamp bags arrived today and turned out one of it was not light blue! haha...It's actually the dark brown that I wanted! Yeah! Ok, but the RED one...well, it's actually kinda pretty and I must admit I did contemplate using it myself...haha...
But still! It's RED.Period. So ladies and gentlemen, I am gonna put this RED bag for sale at 110 SGD. And I'll throw in the Longchamp paperbag with that. haha. To let all know the size of the bag better, I've placed an A4 book on it so that you can roughly know how big it is. As for detailed size, look at post below to get dimensions in CM. Also, the first photo shows how the bag is after it is folded.
If you are interested, leave your name and email by replying to the post. So far, I have a friend interested and she's called Anonymous aka Tina Lim. But she has yet to tell me if she wants it. So the offer is still open. After one week, and no takers, you'll see me using it then haha....
Update: Bag's taken. Sale's off

so...can i pull it off?
i told my friend to buy me 2 DIFFERENT longchamp bags, one laptop one for me, another tote for my mum. Well, cos he went to germany and its' cheap there..urns out he did get 2 for me at total of 100 euros (CHEAP!) but he also got 2 of same design.
One's in bright red for my mum, and another light brown for moi. Well, if you are asking which model he got it right, they are both the men's laptop. Yeah, another 2 bags to my collection. BRIGHT RED some more. Do I sound like a happy camper (or rather, Champer) here? Bleah.
Light brown, i can take it. light brown in women's tote, my mum can use that. But BRIGHT RED men's laptop? Mum cannot use it, and me also cannot use it.
See the problem (and photos) here? Talk about seeing red, literally.
But what to do? This really close friend of mine actually squeeze in shopping for moi into his ultra packed 5 day germany backpack trip. And he spent 1 hour searching for freaking longchamp shop in Frankfurt (well, there are many shops there but i merely emailed him 1 address..ok, partly my fault too). So tell me, my dear readers, how can I get angry? I mean, I am really grateful for all the trouble he went through, you know. And i know it is really difficult to shop for other people all the time. Like the trouble I went through in Tokyo to find a certain wallet.haha... Bt at least my trip was leisure. So, I am moreover ever grateful and thankful that I did manage to get a longchamp.
Well, I heard from my another friend that Australia sells longchamp cheap too. So if I really wanna get a tote for mum, I'll tell my air stewardess friend to get if when she goes there instead since she seem to not be flying the frankfurt route anytime soon...
