5 Careers I Really (Honestly Really) Wanna Have
Today's Friday Fives:
5 Careers I Really (Honestly Really) Wanna Have
.
1. "Paid-to-SHOP" by Celebrities/Tai-Tai's/some RICH blokes
I dunno what's the title of this type of jobs... but it's a job whereby these people are simply too busy to shop and they dun mind paying you the $$ to go places like Japan/Paris/Italy/Hong Kong just to get you to queue for the latest Louis Vuitton edition=D Air Tickets and accomodation all accounted for~~ Ahhh...My DREAM job!!! get to travel and shop=D 2 of my favorite indulgences.... and the pay is gooooooood...
.
2. Some National Team player
No words will be able to describe the adrenalin feeling... Nothing motivates you more than the whole nation's support and nothing makes you feel more proud of yourself than your own victory... You not bring GLORY only to yourself but your Family and Nation... Hmm.... I suddenly sound very Nationalistic.. Don't I? hehe.. National Day coming~
.
3. Open a Cafe that bakes Heavenly Pastries/Cakes
Personally I love spending my Day at a coffee joint (tho' i dun drink coffee) and reading books.. It's a form of spiritual getaway for me... I would love to have my own little cosy corner that bakes "sinners" food that will soothe any stressed out nerves (preferably baked by me=D).. Actually, I love baking..BUT my schedule and cost of all the baking preparation needs just forbid me to (and maybe my laziness)... I love the smell of freshly baked pastries/cakes out of the Oven.. I love the feeling of satisfaction when family/friends put 2 thumbs-up for my creation... I love distributing them to my loved ones and feeling much appreciated.. I love seeing people eat... Indulging in good food is the best therapy!
.
4. Nurse in the Maternity Ward looking after new borns
A New Born represents a new hope, a new lease of life, the beginning of another life journey.... and they look sooooo innocent and pure.. You just wanna cuddle up to them and smell their baby breath... and when they yawn.... AWwwww~ sooooooo CUTE!

Lunch At Coffee Bean=)
.
.
Wanted to catch Silent Hill but missed the timing due to gossiping... not that i mind~ Ooo.. and I was wearing my chuncky necklace today=D I still cant believe i got it for only 5 bucks!
.
And for those who always missed Mac's Big Breakfast.. Fret Not.. cos Coffee Bean provides all-day Breakfast sets=DDD 8 sets to choose from at $6.50 and they come with tea/coffee.. A little more pricey tho~ but less tendency to encounter screeching kids tho~ we did encounter one today.................
.
After walking ard Bugis after lunch.. we decided to go PS to catch a show.. went to the toilet to clear my bladder and I saw this! tot I went wrong toilet and i almost ran out.. realized that this is built for mothers with male toddlers... Hmm.. the welfare dept is not slacking~
.
Photos in the toilet=D I like taking reflections in the mirror...
.
..
.In the end we decided to catch The Omen despite the fact that it received only one pathetic star from ST.. my advice is... DUN TRUST ST standard!!!!! cos the show definitely deserved more that 1 star! not to mention that Zhi bumped her head into mine when she tried to hid her face.. (dun judge her by her looks.. she's not tt tough) anyway back to the movie.. I would give it at least 3.5 stars.. The story flows well and it has a fairly good plot.. YUP! so it's a show to watch
.
On the way home... photo again.. with my polar cake=D

On a separate note.. got this polka dotted cropped pants yesterday.. Another BLUE note gone...Hiz...What's with my resolution to SAVE?! Free Weekends are not SAFE...

My 5 Most Influential Songs:
i wldn't say influential but songs that have strong sentimental values to me..
1) When You Believe
I dunno by who but I tink it's a theme song used in a Disney movie production.. I heard this when I was watching the show @ Clara's house quite few years back.. i was truly inspired by the lyrics at my tender age then.. hahaaa.. I find the lyrics very meaningful and inspiring...
.
2) Memory
I'm sentimental songs person (sorry no pop songs for me..) and have been listening to oldies since when i'm in my mother's womb.. hahaaa.. cos my mum only listen to those too.. and I love this one the MOST... *Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things* and sweet memories increases the worth of my Life=)
.
3) When You Hear The People Sing ( one of Les Miserables theme songs..)
Okay.. I'm not trying to act chim here.. but this is one song that truly inspired me since a svhool play in primary school.. (and the lead actor was performed by my eye candy den=*.. maybe that explains y..hahaaa..) This song has a forceful impact on me since then.. It was much forgotten during my sec/JC days but I heard it again during the Winter Olymics show this year.. It was used as a competition song used by France (and the ice-skating couple scored the highest for tt category) maybe it's the choice of song=D...
.
4) Purest of Pain (Spanish Version)

.
4) Purest of Pain (Spanish Version)
This song holds alot of sentimental value for me.. It always put me on the verge of tears and I can repeat for 10X without getting sick of it.. This song was burnt into a CD by two persons who had a strong impact in my Life... a very special song for me=D
.
5) I Believe
By Lester Lee with His Guitar=)

Met up with my long-time-no-see fren, Haiping today.. He just came back from a holiday in the States.. He's supposed to give me some travelling tips today and show me his pics( He took damn alot of PICS!!! 3 1GB memory cards worth of pics.. BUT it's all bout sunset, sunrise, deserts, Grand Canyon i.e. rocks..... hardly see any pics of human... hahaaa.. tt's the diff between guys and girls.. Girls will always take alot of pics of themselves tog with the sceneries.. more narcissisitc! agree???) anyway~ He managed to fly SQ for just S$1600!!! damn good deal... and when he heard that I'm taking Thai Airways.. he kept asking me to bring medicated oil and kept shaking his head.. foul mouth..10-years-never-change~ Ohhh.. and he took the same flight as XiaXue also... damn qiao~ and he mentioned that she's damn short.. den I asked how short... and he replied:"a bit taller than HuiYi" hahaaaa.... Poor Ah Loy... she's not even taller than "damn short" standard.. but nvm laaa.. petite cuter=D *really*
.
anyway.. I ended up listening to his adventures instead of him providing me some useful travelling tips.. He kept asking me to go to the The Factory Outlet in the states cos the deals are damn GOOD!!! original branded goods are heavily discounted due to minor defects.. and he claimed that the one @ California are 10X the size of Tampines Mall... WAaaaaa... I'm really very tempted but den again.. I tink I have to shop @ the Kids Dept.. hahaaaa.. After Lunch I suggested Shopping since I haben really shop since the start of GSS.. and he's damn damn good!!!! helped me carry handbag when I go changing rooms and waiting paitiently for me while I entered every shop.. I felt kinda guilty but he kept asking me to take my time... hahaa.. Mr. Nice Guy=D *Bless him with a good GF soon!* After a fruitless 2 hr walk.. we went to catch Da Vinci Code=D Super Chim show *maybe cos I din read the book* and I dun understand alot of terms involved and I kept asking him bout them... Midway through the show, I managed to see some light and I actually quite enjoyed the show.. (I shall give it a 4-stars instead of a miserly 2-stars graded by the ST..) The pyramid is sooo damn nice!!! I must go Europe when I'm still young.. hopefully for my graduation trip..
.
Talking bout travelling..I noe that I'm a no-brainer.. always Blasting my paycheck on airtickets every year.. but I feel that there are some things that $ cant buy.. My mum always says" why are u always so eager to travel ard? U nvr seem to spare a tot for me.. always making me worry.. if u wanna travel u can always do so when u r working or when u r married........) BUT I feel that it's a totally diff feeling travelling @ my age now and travelling in my thirties, forties, retirement age... The choice of destinations, modes of transport, choice of places to stay, choice of travelling khakis will result in a different type of travelling experience.. I dun foresee myself being interested in backpacking and staying in motels when I'm in my forties... AGREE??? and I wanna live my life to the fullest whilst I'm still young and healthy cos Life is sooo unpredictable=D

As inspired by ASTRI: Friday Fives=D she has been posting Friday Fives for quite some time now and her topics are always so exciting=D To those who have simply no idea what is this about.. It's about listing your 5 fave choices for a chosen topic that is unique every week.. the Topic this week is... ...
.
5 Favorite Childhood Food:
(Sweet Memories are always linked to food.. Ain't they?) but I can only choose 5?! I try... ...
.
1. Plain White Rice
.
hahaaa.. I noe this sounds very "chi cham" (pooooooor thing.. like broke until no money eat food) but I simply love pressing leftover rice from dinner into balls and eat them for snacks.. My grandma will always cook a huge pot of rice everyday so there'll be plenty left over for my supper at night when I watch Sun WuKong serials.. and I will always scoop a large chunk into a serving bowl and start my plain rice buffet in front of the TV.. No Wonder I was overweight den... too young to be aware of Atkins Diet;P
.
2. Thousand Layer Cake ( Jiu-Cheng-Gao)
.
I love playing with food(e.g. I love to suck out the insides of French Fries and eating the fried skins later.. Ewwww.. but I loved it~) and this snack never fails to keep me occupied.. I can spend half an hour just peeling them layer by layer and the fragrance of coconut milk and the chewiness of the snack never fails to satisfy me.. it's not too sweet so u wont feel too sick from eating too much=D I can spend the whole afternoon peeling away and I still love it now! still prefer those from Benganwan Solo=D
.
3. Hot Milo cooked with Cereal and Eggs
.
Potent enough for a Breakfast!!! hahaaa.. my Primary 1-6 Breakfast Drink.. No wonder I always top 10 positions in my class den.. This drink kept me awake and energized! and.......... inspired occasional Nosebleeds as well=P
.
4. Fried Beehoon with Noodles (with fish nuggets and LOTS of Chilli) with Soy Bean Milk (with lots of Grass Jelly)
.
Only from my Ah Ma's place!!! only $1/packet and confirm sold out by 9 a.m. every morning cos it's Darn GOOD!!!! I'm not joking.. U should look @ the queue and somemore it's located under some ulu HDB flat... Every Sat and Sun Morning when my ah gong was not working, he'll wake up @ 7 a.m. to queue for me and by the time he reached home.. I will wake up just in time for a NICE breakfast... I love the soy Bean Milk from his place too!!! It's damn solid (not diluted and artificially sweet like those mostly avail nowadays..) and I love my drink to be Lukewarm.. It settles nicely in my stomach for a just-woken-up me=D I looked forward to weekend's morning every week=D
.
5. Bubble Gum (when I was still very young..)
.
Oh noooooo.. I left with only one choice??? I still got sooo many... anyway I shall dedicate this last vacancy to candy!!! I have (present tense cos' I still do!) a TERRIBLE sweet tooth.. and before Bubble Gum became History in Singapore.. I remembered going down to the provision shop downstairs every single day to buy them.. I always buy those 20 cents type that have separate packaging cos they came with Tattoos.. and I always have many NEW tattoos all over my body (arms/legs/ankles/palms) everyday... oooooohhh.. and one of my Hidden Talent is that I can blow really really HUGE balloons.. hehe..
.
*** *** ***
.
well.. tt marks the end of my virgin Friday Fives entry... I still got tons more to include if not for the limit!!! like Peanut Butter, Cola gummies, Bread with butter and lots of sugar, ice-cream from roadside paddlers, Cod Liver Oil (i noe many people hate this!!! but I just like leh.. dunno y.. and i prefer the white one.. haha.. double YUCKS! right?)... and many many more.. but since I can only choose 5.. well.. above are the Five!!! Hmm.. wonder what's the topic next week???
