We have defected. May 30, 2008

From Sofra’s, that is. The peeps at Pilatus stumbled upon a new kebab place that serves up yummier food at cheaper more economical pricing. Shisha, too. Photos from yesterday evening are up on Facebook.

By the way, the weather just kills me when I am indoors. Il fait chaud..! It can’t be worse than Singapore, can it? There are no ventilation systems in the room and I miss my ceiling fan. =(

How apt is it that here I am happily munching on Haribo Happy Cola (Haribo is available everywhere here!) in my feeble attempt at mugging, and my eyes fall on the words “poor self-control” in our freaking wordy beloved marketing text. Excellent.

A short visit to the capital earlier today. Photos already up on Facebook.

The famed Bear pit.. Pleased to confirm that the authorities are indeed widening the pit.

And Sis should love this one..

It’s a record – 5.55am! I must have been the only sane person up at that bastardly time of six heure moins cinq. But 本小姐今天心情好… 不会跟你计叫!

 

Randomness: Morning Musings May 19, 2008

Very much looking forward to being able to laze in on quiet mornings *rolls eyes*

Now.. I found this really cute, figure it out yourself!

Vous dites que vous aimez le poisson
Pourtant vous les mangez leur

Vous dites que vous aimez le oiseaux
Pourtant vous les mettez en cage

Vous dites que vous aimez les fleurs 
Pourtant vous leur coupez la queue 

Comprenez pourquoi j’ai peur 
Quand vous dites que vous m’aimez!

And now now.. Be nice, and don’t be quick to judge others. Look in the mirror first!

 

Movie Nights May 16, 2008

Another movie night with the guys. The Harold & Kumar sequel over Sofra’s and orange breezers looted from tourism class :D

Couldn’t help googling the cutest nerdy poem I’ve ever heard, recited by Kumar at the end of the movie..

I’m sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three

The three is all that’s good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

The 4-member SIMBoyz were founded in Lucerne, Switzerland in the spring of 2008. After being talent-spotted while being a banquet captain, Gordon H was approached to form a pop group, giving up his banquet career. Manager EllieC suggested that Gordon find other male singers, prompting the latter to call Norman C, who was his university classmate. When told impending efforts to form the band, Gordon H suggested calling up Damian G, his polytechnic mate of 6 years. Their friendship go back 6 years to their polytechnic days. The last member of the group, Jon Y, was spotted singing at the obscure bar of the local airport.

SIMBoyz’s debut self-titled EP, featuring a cover of *NSync’s Tearin’ Up My Heart, are out at all good neighbourhood stores now.

The day’s last one-way ticket train pulls in
We smile for the casual closure capturing
There goes the downpour
Here goes my fare thee well

There’s really no way to reach me
There’s really no way to reach me
There’s really no way to reach me
‘Cause I’m already gone

Only so many words that we can say
Spoken upon long-distance melody
This is my hello
This is my goodness

There’s really no way to reach me
There’s really no way to reach me
There’s really no way to reach me
‘Cause I’m already gone

Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again
Straighten this whole thing out
Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy
This is the distance
And this is my game face

There’s really no way to reach me
There’s really no way to reach me
Is there really no way to reach me?
Am I already…

So this is your maverick
This is Vienna
