hello moto

My dad's just bought me a brand new phone! It's a Motorola PEBL, and I so am lovin' it parapapapa. It's oh-so-sleek with hotter-than-yours curves - a perfect midnight black beauty. I like.

Though it did take me a couple of minutes to figure out how to open it at first.

I've been so obsessed with trying to work out my PEBL that I:
1. Almost missed my bus stop
2. Got so distracted I stopped MSN-ing halfway (yes, I am guilty of MSN-ing during project meeting)
3. Could only think of where to find Motorola service centers for the better half of the day
4. Brought the Motorola manual along with me to school
5. Actually read the manual

I'm still not very familiar with all of its functions now but I did master the one-handed-flipping-phone technique. Managed to look aloof as I did so as well. So there. I AM COOL. Hahahahaha!

On another casual note, had a crashing bore of a family dinner at New Harbo(u?)r at Tanjong Pagar. My dad is a silent partner of that cafe / pub (ain't he cool? He co-owns a pub yo) so he wanted all of his kids to go there, get a taste of the food (unfortch not the beer), and then recommend the place to their friends. Sigh. What made it a crashing bore was the fact that his boss happened to be in town and called him up for dinner and then he had to invite the boss along to our supposedly small family gathering. Aaaack major awkwardness alert! And his boss is the CEO of the company (noh, not the pub, but rather my dad's day-job company) so my poor daddy had to act chauffeur for the boss, his wife, and their kid. But well, all's good. Talked to W and G most of the time. We discussed the finer details of gory flicks and Singapore's legendary soccer players (of which there is only one).

So anyway, the pub. If you're in the mood to try some place new please do go to New Harbor and give my dad some business. The food there is pretty good and affordable. I'd recommend their mixed grill or chicken maryland. DON'T order the bloody prawn mee. It is like $10++ and only exists on the menu for the purpose of tricking gullible ang moh tourists. Whom I think are the majority of their customers.

Let's close this off with some project-related whining.

While Syd and Kun are off galumphing to the shops tomorrow, I'll be ensconsced in my bed rushing TWC & Tax projects. Well I say 'rush' but really I predict that I will stare at the screen for one hour, then pick up Bridget Jones to read, then wander off to find something to eat, then settle back down while chewing chocolate and start typing a bit, then realise that I've spilled some choc bits onto the keyboard, then get up again to get Kleenex, then attempt to brush the choc bits off but they end up going deeper beneath the keyboard, then curse and flip laptop upside down to shake it, then accidentally unplug the adaptor off when shaking, then curse when I realise my few typed words are gone unsaved, then turn on the lappie again, then go off outside to watch a bit of TV while lappie's loading, then enjoy TV too much and forget that I have projects to rush.

Uncle G - I'm really sorry but most likely I can't spend time with you tomorrow. We'll arrange for another time, ja?

By the way, Jess has just got herself a blog! Like, finally. Haha! Go check it out. Babe - I've linked you!

Ergh. Am kinda sleepy now and not sure how to end this extremely long and pieced-together (*cough* Chloe) post. What about with a pinch of wisdom:
Big birds leave big turds.

...... Yeah. I don't get that either, actually.
