Microeconomics turned out not the least bit intimidating; rather eye-opening, different from the usual lectures back at design school. In fact, I picked up most of the ropes quicker than my beloved girl. The lunch was sumptuous and excellent, and at a very reasonable price.

Pigging out was sinful. Today's food frenzy ranged from baked rice and pizzas and sundaes to waffles and ice cream and a gorge of instant noodles. Believe it or not, the best part of the whole food madness yesterday was Milo Dinosaur. I can never resist a mountain of milo powder topping a gigantic cup of milo. Nique had her bandung (of course, what's new!).

At IceKimo, we were snapping photographs like crazy. We haven't met up in the longest time. So while we indulged in ice cream, we got a little more berserk by the minute. Nique came up with a hypothesis theory about smokers who get bored before/after smoking.

Hady Mirza's pioneer single 'You give me wings' is utterly disappointing, upsetting and disheartening. Not that he isn't superb with his vocals but the band accompaniment destroyed every gist of the song. The song is rendered with cheesy karaoke(or ge tai) keyboard harmony and is lacking of basic beats, which results in the single sounding like a shabby piece of 5 minute work. So much for commercializing Singapore Idol, grooming its winners(talents) and gaining public support towards local music. The instrumentals of the song just doesn't meet up to the standards of Hady's voice. Ken Lim composed the song and I'm sure he should have many expectations from the band during track recording. So what happened? Taufik Batisah was endorsed(?) by 7/11 for two years and in additional to that now, he is advertising for Starhub's iMode. Sell his talent, not his face! There is absolutely no point in buying air time for advertisements for him when his fame will die out without the popularity of his music. Afterall, it is his voice that won him the title as Singapore Idol and got him to wherever he is today. Air his music videos on television instead of consistently publisizing the advertisement he did for 7/11. Common sense, right?

Had a fanatic bout of bitch fit last night and Nique dealt with my nonsense like an angel. I love you! I'm addicted to John Mayer's 'Slow Dancing In A Burning Room'. I've got work later. Anti-climax to this entry.


SIM & IceKimo

Good food at SIM.

From Clementi to Upper Thomson, we kept bruising each other.
Ice cream galore!

There's more variety in the freezer.


Warming the camera up.

Three.

Two.

Phoebe?! (Just look at her)
Madness during multi-shots. Anyway, these are three favourite people of my life!
