21st Oct.

Ah, i finally managed to get my lazy bump to blog about the events of 21st OCt. We went to town, Far East to be exact... Call me turtle, call me tortise that resides high up on the mountain.. But, it changed yet again and i duno about it... =/ But then again, when was the last time i went to Far East?? Actually i dont have any recollections of it, so i think it was ages ago.

But, one major change i noticed was that, it was awefully quiet in town on a Saturday afternoon. Thus i began believing the crowd was drawn to VivoCity. And so long after its launch, i still havent been there, i think it will take me Eons before i go there.

Well, after my dear snup got 1 pretty halter from her favourite shop and a denim skirt from another shop where she bought her previous pair of skirt, we went to eat peanut butter + chocolate toast! And had Iced Yuan-Yang too! After that little snacking, we headed to Cineleisure and had neoprints taken. Pretty nice prints actually and since there wasnt any crowd, we spent 45mins designing the pics. Because w/o queue, there wont be a countdown timer! LoL.

Next snup was supposed to bring me to Fosters for my birthday treat. As we reached Holland more than an hour ahead of time, we went to Factory Outlet Store to look for cheap and good deals... And we spent money again. haha.. As the time ticks, we walked to Fosters, and to my amazement, the place was just litted with candles, i tot they were celebrating deepavali or just trying to be romantic. But when we went in, the waiter told us they had a power failure. Much to my disappointment, i didnt get to eat at Fosters again! I had been talking about eating there since like when i entered army. Yap, more than 2 years past... still nothing haha..

By the time we decided on the next location, my hunger was gone... And we ate at 'Out of the pan' in Raffles City. It was Crepes and crepes and crepes in all the menu, though not really my type of meal,(coz of the small serving) but the dinner was nice and not too filling. Because there was this Ben n Jerry's treat after dinner!

Something funny was that, as Na went to buy the 'mix n match' ( 3 scoops served in a waffle bowl) it took her damn long, and as i turn my head over to see if she had lost her way, i saw her asking for a lighter to light the candle. So much for the surprise she planned for me.. haha... Sorry dear, i shouldnt be so Kpo next time... =/

Well, that concludes the outing and it has been eons since we went out till after 10. =p

Well, as Na's request , here is the story of the rock and sand which i read from somewhere, but lost the original version so this is my edited version.

Story of the Professor and an Empty Jar

There was one day, a Professor picked up an Empty jar and asked his lecture grp if they jar was empty or full. "Empty.." the students replied.
Next, he took out a bag of stones and filled the jar to its brim and he asked his students again if it was full.. and unanimously the students replied "Full..."
AFter which, he then take out a bar of sand and scooped the sand into the supposedly full stone-filled jar, and the sand seeped in between the spaces of the stones inside the Jar. Yet again, he popped the same question and the reply was still "Full."
Finally, he emptied the jar and filled the empty jar to the brim with just sand and asked that same question to get the same answers from the students. However he then tried to put stones into the sand-filled jar but he couldnt because they dont fit into the jar anymore.

The moral of the story is that,

The Jar is your life, it is filled up with stones and sand.
Whereby the stones are the important things and people tt revolves in your life and
the sand are the small things that happen everyday.
And if you fill your life with just sand (small things that happen everyday), you will neglect the big stones(important things and people).
As the way life should be is to be filled with important things and people and the small things are there to add taste and a twist to your life and not be the major part of you.

Well, i know to those who have read this story before, my version is definately not as good, but based on memory this is the best tt i can get. So if anyone have the original copy i would appreciate it if u can email it to me =)
