michelledeedee on Xanga

She was musical and apple-sweet. Her legs twitched a little as they lay across my live lap; I stroked them; there she lolled in the right-hand corner, almost asprawl, Lola the bobby-soxer, devouring her immemorial fruit, singing through its juice, losing her slipper- and every movement she made, every shuffle and ripple, helped me to conceal and to improve the secret system of tactile correspondence between beast and beauty

Chen Zhi Cai in Popular

I was in Popular in the evening, buying some pens. I looked up, right in front of me was Edmund Chen! The TCS8 actor who I grew up watching his serials.. sounded really silly I know but I was starstruck. It was hilarious listening to him speak Singlish, I know celebs are also human beings but sometimes it is so easy to forget that.
He still looks as young and good looking as ever.

I have an earlier shift today so there's no time to read up on the news, here's a quick snip of the NOTD ( news of the day )

The other leaders were earlier transported to their dinner marquee aboard old-fashioned bicycle rickshaws, pedalled by men in wide-brimmed straw hats at Singapore's premier arts venue, the Esplanade.
Can you imagine world leaders in a trishaw?
Hysterical.

Pictures from last night. Simpang Bedok, I've finally been there. Its such a great place for supper!

The food was awez but the hommus was pretty bad.

Good ol' coconut juice on an tropical night

Off to work!
KNN

Work today was a complete killer.

To those customers who maligned me and lashed their shit on me, FUCK YOU ALL!!!!!!!! *rage*

That's all.

Oh we had supper at Simpang Bedok, bloody awesome. It was the first time I brought Benjamin to meet my brother and mum was there too, it was good company. I'm glad we had fun.

I forgot to add, you know how I was saying about half of those in the hawker center disappeared to place their coupons or drive their cars away?
We were so smug of ourselves then cause we did not risk it and placed a coupon thinking we were safe.
Sadly, we ended up being fined for $50- it was a non-seasonal parking lot
-.-

( L to R ) Satay, Oyster Omelette, Hokkien Mee and Blk 85 Famous Bak Chor Mee

Bloody heavenly

Also...

You know you're in Singapore when you are eating halfway, you hear stall holders shouting "SUMMON! SUMMON!" and half the hawker center disappears into the car park to apply their coupons.. hilarious!
APEC damn PACKED!

I am officially agoraphobic.
It is my off day today so I went to run errands with my mother around town.
Nicoll Highway is closed for a couple days due to APEC, this abrupt imposition had the entire Singapore thrown in disarray. Traffic jams along the AYE, the other lanes in Bugis, streets, PIE etc etc, we even got lost trying to find our way to Orchard and went spinning round and round Clementi, and it was raining the entire day, the best time to get into road accidents.

Mum was jesting about how packed APEC had turned us into!

My mum overheard on the radio that Hilary Clinton had coffee this morning at Suntec City.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton centre, chats with Michigan Congressman Sander Levin (back to camera) at a coffee bar outside the Suntec Convention Centre in Singapore, Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009

lol. And to think I visit that Starbuck often without thinking much, now we have Hilary Clinton visiting!

Obama will be visiting tomorrow, I'll be all ears on the news!

trivia: Reported in the Chinese News, Obama's arrival is accompanied with 500 other delegates! Omg our island is flooded.

Across town, I finally passed by Orchard and goodness! Everything is so different, I could hardly recognize the new shopping centers and the roads. I randomly passed by ION orchard, like finally! Its massive and very dazzling. There is also another massive shopping complex Orchard Central. I saw the Xmas lights and the grand Xmas decorations on the various shopping centers in town, they were beautifully made up. This year's Orchard Xmas lights share the same theme as last year- candy wonderland. TBH, I am not usually a fan of colourful Xmas lights, I like the old traditional orange lights, hoards of them creeping up the billboards or the street lamps in one cohesive colour.
I don't mean to be unappreciative but it appears each year's Xmas decoration lights in Orchard is resembling more and more of that Deepavali.

Other news, I have been in the car all day with mother travelling round Singapore to eat.
We had lunch in Singapore General Hospital ( I know! hospital right? ) but they have so much good food in the hospitals! I had the really awesome duck rice and ice kachang, deelish.

Whilst stuck in the traffic, I was listening to Mum rambling on and on about our building's neighbours gossip and scandals, and then reiterating her road rage anecdotes which is particularly hilarious when she mocks/curses them in Hokkien.

Dinner was spent in Bedok Blk 85. Had the most famous Bak Chor mee, Satay, Oyster Omelette and Hokkien Mee. Satisfying dinner, too satisfying!

photos will be posted soon..
