IF you've been religiously checking back on this page to find it un-updated...I already told you I won't be updating much during the weekdays cos nothing happens, so I won't apologise for that. =P

Its the arrival of the weekend that allows me more time and energy to think about the things to write about. So check back on Thurs-Fri for interesting reads. For now, lemme just bore you on my happenings so far...

Have been attending meetings every evening of the week so far. This trend will continue till Friday. W.O.O.H.O.O. Having to lug urself to the Business College/ Kellog Centre (the hotel) is NOT fun cos its starting to get cold and they ALWAYS meet near dinner time/gym time. Ohhh.. so no wonder I haven't gone to the gym AT ALL this week!!

I've been keeping track of the number of times i hit the gym/week...not because I wanna keep myself on-the-ball with my EXERCISE REGIME and diet plan cos its never gonna work (besides, I don't have one), but cos I wanna see whether my semester pass to the gym is worth it or not. U see, its $3 each time you visit the gym. But with the semester pass, its $70. Meaning you have to go 24 times in order for it to be wu-hua. Meaning that you have to go at least twice a week... So, I'm calculating... How many times this week? 2nd? not enuff.. must ngeh ngeh force myself to go one more time. Yah, I know... very practical hor? But what to do... My choices are guided by their value and profitability, not cos 'its fun'. Fun with no value = waste of time. So if you're my friend, you should be quite honored, cos being my friend means you are of VALUE...Oh, but again there's always the difference in standard.. Walmart VS SAKS 5th...hahaha. Ok so I think the equation doesn't work here. Or maybe it does...hmmm

So, I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHLOE'S BIRTHDAY! (chloe cheng btw, not chloe hsbc). Cos it will mark the end of October! Remember a few weeks ago when I posted Greenday's 'Wake Me up When September Ends?'? NOW its nearly October's turn to say goodbye... :S

Ok, so the reason why I'm looking forward to Nov so much is because there are a few exciting plans lined up in front of me.. and they all entail travelling, meaning I get to leave the suburbs for a weekend or 2. woopie.

1) 10th Nov-14th Nov. the ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL HOTEL/MOTEL & RESTAURANT SHOW, NEW YORK CITY.

Isn't that exciting? hur hur. I'm going to NYC again. But this time, I'm going with people I barely know. We'll be representing our School of Hospitality Business to industry partners mainly. The Waldorf Astoria's the location. =) FYI, the W=A is the luxury hotel of the Hilton Corp. Its one of the grand dames of NYC and costs about US$500-700 a night. So we hear Paris stays at their suites whenever she's in town. hmm.
But ok, since we don't share the same surname as Paris nor are we EVEN CLOSE to being their family CHIHUAHUA, (this is where the chinese phrase, LIAN2 gou3 dou1 bu ru comes in..sigh) we're gonna share a room. 4 to 1 room. quite pathetic but thats the only way to reduce costs. And I don't even know who I'm gonna room with... So it'll be like, SURPLAISE! ROOM 1004...U GET TO ROOM WITH THE BIGGEST BITCH OF HB HISTORY! *gasp* tolong tolong...wo bu yaooooo...

I'll write abt the Show again. When I find out what exactly are we supposed to do. =P


2) 24th Nov- 27th Nov. THANKSGIVING BREAK, WASHINGTON D.C

WOOPIE so I'm going to the nation's capital again. I went there last year but didn't do much. BUT THIS TIME, PEISHAN PROMISES TO BRING ME SIGHTSEEING HUH?! haha. Peishan's aunt's family lives in Maryland (about a half hour drive to DC), and her aunt's a BRILLIANT COOK. Her food makes you put on 5kg over a weekend. YES, its very kua zhang. But who's gonna come back to school after a thanksgiving dinner of WHITE-HOUSE TURKEY, STUFFING, 3 KINDS OF PIE, MASH POTATO, ETC ETC ETC plus all the other food on fri & sat, LOOKING THE SAME? Plus she makes 3 diff typEs of curry cos she know we miss Sg food... Chicken, Mutton, Beef Rendang cos 'I don't know which one you all prefer...' WAHhhh AUNTY! V GOOD! I like ALL! Ok so I think I betta calm down and go to the gym BEFORE I go to DC. Or else it'd be a miracle if my jeans don't burst at the seams.

so you see, with such exciting plans, I can't help but ask...
CHLOE, CAN UR BIRTHDAY HURRY UP AND COME or not?
