Am working on this book called
The God Gene right now. The author argues that there is a gene VMAT2 that predisposes humans towards spirituality, and in this book, he explores genetics, psychology, evolutionary biology as well as some anthropology. Its really interesting to see how the past courses I've taken in evo bio, psych, genetics as well as anthr and religion all tie up beautifully in this book. Its amazing hurh! Just a year ago, i probably would neither have the ability nor the stamina to get through this book, because of all the jargon (inevitably).
Met up with
amy jac em at timbre on thursday! As a mini amy seow bday celebration but emmeline got "distracted" along the way to timbre and spent all her money on a facial trial and therefore had NO money left to buy seow's cake. Wonderful. This is the kind of friends i ve got haha. Really cool meeting up with seowmai after so long and listening to her intriguing russia escapades, finland explorations, prague musical fairyland stories etc. Jac couldnt parallel park with her MPV and i had to go out to carpark to offer assistance. But of course i wasnt much help haha since i havent driven a car for how long! Haha. To think of it, I'm long over my one year triangular plate trial, but i am not so sure if i can drive confidently on the singapore roads.lol.
Enjoyed the
percussion concert on friday, turns out it was a newly established percussion assembly under the tutelage of Quek Ling Kiong. several familiar faces in there, and as usual concerts are a fertile ground for meeting people. Saw
Guan Lao Shi, wangui, jiada, sharon ang and her funkeh brother who addressed me with a 'yo' to which i replied a 'yo wassup' that scareed him hahaha,
peiyin, lin li, lin na, ying tong and several other faces that just seem so familiar, but my temporal lobe has failed me with their names. Wasnt a mindblowing concert overall, but the finale was impressive. Guess they just need time to diversify their playing styles as well as, more importantly, to diversify the audience.
Oh yar haha i discovered this
princess movie theatre at bedok central that still shows movies for 5 bucks on mon to wed and 6 or 7 bucks for the rest of the week. No queue, no hassle. And all the new movies are showing there too =) watched
die hard 4.0 with
mummy. Die hard is getting more and more exaggerating. Checked out the newly opened
old airport road hawker food as well! Check out the famous hokkien mee, wanton mee, chicken wings theree!! Since bus 10 goes direct there, its so gonna be my favourite hangout place soon.
Went for the
OG combined outing bet darren's and jean's today for like one hour. Kinda out of the way at North Canal Road,
Settlers Cafe. Omyy and they played taboo (again! when there were so many other games to play there), super boring. Not too many freshies I saw, some I cant quite remember their names anymore. Happily, I left soon to meet up with
Carine and Aloy (hahah ookay my LIFE long buffet buddies) for silly laughter and crappy insinuations at each other's height and stupidity and zhi kan dang ness and whatever not. Nice aloy aka number one nicest boyfriend in the entire singapore and JB, has a car of his own, so of course we can explore Singapore. Checked out this
Ding Xian Lou at Golden Mile Complex that serves every dish for $4.80! Yes, including sharks fin( not authentic one of course), thai style red tilapia, cereal prawn etc etc. I would say they serve pretty decent food for the amount of money you pay; a value for money restaurant. Aloy then suggested going to eat chua4 bing1 at the
dessert shop at burlington square (opposite simlim). All of these was a treat by the two of them for bday! Sooo sweet=) Hahaha and carine chose a photo frame that was freaking hilarious. Its screams in pink, over a black background "
So Many Men, But so Few can Afford me" HAHAHAA. wanna die laughing. And a cute cup that goes "
True friend. For lifetime, cos you know too much. "HAHAHAA. Okayyy yar carine your bday we go eat better food okay. I book you first.Rmb me one friend=5 friends. Go figure the math haha.
My blood checkup results came back. Doctor Lim said im the pink of health. Awesome. Just that i lack vitamin B12. Did you know that d
eficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to megaloblastic anemia, sleep disturbances , clinical depression, tiredness or a decreased mental work capacity, decreased concentration and decreased memory, irritability and depression. Bipolar disease can also result from it!! Siao lar. Better start popping those supplementary vit B12 pills.
Freaking scary phone call from **** on the way back in aloy's car. FREAKED me out. I had to pretend i was going into the movie theatre to hang up the phone.
AIYA damn sad lar,
lala n lulu and my stayover is not working out. No place to stay at.=(
