Recent Doings

I actually hate having to think up a post title whenever I feel like writing. So I just use whatever comes up first as a post title. Anyway this is gonna be a short-sort compilation post which might not be that short after all.

I've been wanting to create a new blog for entertainment purposes. Mainly to compile (on a certain basis/schedule) the movie-related giveaways that I know of. I have won quite a few movie-related giveaways since last year. At first what I got was movie merchandises like t-shirts and key-chains. I started wanting to win movie passes (premiere screening, preview screening, normal passes) since I love watching movies in the cinema but have never won any movie passes while the sis, even though winning her first pair, decided not to attend the screening. I didn't win any movie passes until September last year. At one point, I got to watch about at least one free movie per week. Which, to a lot of my friends, is a lot. Fast forward to the present, I do still occasionally win free movie passes, movie merchandise and other sorts of things, like the most recently won necklace. I kept getting reactions like "OMG How do you even win so many things?!" "Why do you keep winning things?" "How do you even find all these?" and another newer one "How do you focus on all these giveaways?" Then it hit me that I do spend quite an amount of time on giveaways ever since I discovered them last year. One night, while trying to fall asleep, I suddenly got this idea to create a blog to compile all the giveaways that I know of. And maybe the next time when I get the same questions, I can just stuff the blog link to them and tell them "I found a blog that compiles a number of giveaways and just check it out now and then". Okay that was one of the sub reasons. I just felt like doing it.

When I became determined to create this blog, another problem came up. An email for the blog. For people to "contact me", to ask questions etc. I know I know.. I'm thinking too much and probably too far but who knows maybe one day someone might really need to email me to ask me things. I didn't want to use my personal email address since I didn't really want everyone to have my personal email address since I do check it everyday and there's already social network websites. While thinking of an email address for the blog, I couldn't make up my mind on whether I want one that is more general, one that is an exact copy pasta of the blog's name (I prefer copy pasta over copy paste), or one that is more appropriate, like an official/professional email. While coming up with a proper one, I suddenly thought about my personal email address and thought it isn't that appropriate as well when it comes to finding a job etc. Annddd now I have to come up with two email addresses. Headache.

Last night, I finally decided to apply for a job at Netccentric. Mainly for ChurpChurp. Someone from Netccentric called me earlier today and I was speechless when I got told to "Tell us about yourself". Sigh. I suck when it comes to things like this. I was really unprepared and this is the second time I went totally speechless at an important moment. My chances are probably gone by now. Oh well. No one guaranteed I'd get a job with them anyway.

Last Saturday, we had a belated mini birthday gathering for someone and it has been a while since I saw that many people (that I know) in one place. 19 girls including me to be exact. Plus someone's boyfriend who was sitting at another table. Largest gathering I've been to since we graduated from high school. Might or might not write a separate post on this. Chit chattering throughout the dinner.

Well... Sucky compilation as usual. Hopefully when I do create a new blog, I don't write suckish compilation posts like this anymore. I need to improve my writing...

Small April Gathering

[April 11th, Friday]

Well it wasn't a complete group gathering, it was really just the 3 of us who wanted to eat Amelio's mashed potatoes and Steam N Grill Burgers' food. We met up at Setia Walk's Subway before making our way to Steam N Grill Burgers for lunch. We ordered Carbonara Spaghetti, Fish Burger and Cheese Fries. I sorta regret ordering Cheese Fries cause the Carbonara was delicious! Should've went for that instead! We chit chatted while eating and continued to chit chat even after we were done with our food. Two of us was pretty full after our lunch but Yann said she isn't that full yet and wouldn't mind eating Amelio's mashed potatoes immediately. Boy was her appetite huge!

We waltz our way to Amelio soon after. Instead of the usual tables I sat at, we sat at the table with couches all the way inside the restaurant. Saw the staffs eating "tau fu fah" while we were flipping the menu. I don't remember "tau fu fah" being on the menu so someone must have brought those here. MA was there up until we ordered our mashed potatoes and suddenly disappeared. We walked out and never came back even when we left. We continued to sit inside Amelio to chit chat even after we finished our mashed potatoes and only decided to leave when the supervisor(?) looking guy or manager or something started staring at us. Fine. Off to our next stop! (This is also the only time I dined at Amelio without snapping pictures of the mashed potatoes oops!)

Our next stop was Starbucks ! Cause I had a free drink and wanted to claim it cause I was thirsty! Sat around till two of us who got ourselves a drink finished our drinks before heading to Loud Speaker! We wanted to go karaoke but the price was mega expensive! They changed their pricing/timing thingy meh. So we went up to TGV Cinemas and I (alone) went to watch Captain America : The Winter Soldier. Yep. It took me that long to finally watch it. Some didn't even believe me when I said I'm only watching it now. I thought they would leave but instead as I was sitting in the hall watching the movie, they sat at the waiting area for 2 hours chit chatting waiting for me to finish my movie! Like whattttttt! How can someone stand doing that?! Shiawase-ness of having someone waiting for you to finish a movie just for dinner! So we went to find dinner!

What's for dinner? It took us at least half an hour walking around Setia Walk before deciding what's for dinner... Yep... From Grand Shanghai 4 floors down to Bonbouri to those Korean restaurants to Tokyo Kitchen then back all the way to Grand Shanghai to have some Hot n Roll before heading back 4 floors down to Bad Boys Cook Real Food then to Full Haos for their second round of dinner. Like wew exercising much. I didn't order food at Full Haos but only ordered a Green Apple Vitamilk which I'm pretty sure they used syrup instead of real apples. After dinner Full Haos our day has finally came to an end! We went on our separate ways back home.

I don't think MA saw me when we dined at Amelio. Or more like he couldn't really recognize me? I got a hair cut and was wearing a solid color tee and shorts. Yann said I looked really different when I met up with them at Subway. I asked whether it was my hair, shorts or shoes, and she said the whole of me. Should I take that as a compliment? Urgh I want the remaining of my salary. Yeah MA reminds me of my unclaimed salary. My monehhhhhh!!

Okay I'm done. I don't know what else to write about. I'm quite sleepy right now. Adios~
