thanx for all who haf shown concern, im feeling much better now. i guess taking half-day off last wed did help alot. it was a last min decision to join a fren at the singapore motoshow. i managed to rush just in time for the stunt show at 1pm. well i actually reached the convention centre at 12.55, strolling my way as i din noe itz gonna be held in an enclosed area and that they will stop people from entering at 1pm sharp, until my fren told me to hurry.

i rushed to buy the tix and ran up to the exhibition hall at L4 and i saw alot of ppl running towards a certain direction, so i figured that we had a common destination and i ran along. until the security at the entrance stopped me and said, "Miss, you will need to exchange for an orange wristband at counter xxx, I'm sorry but I can't let you enter." i went blank at that moment, coz i noe im definitely not gonna make it if i detoured back to exchange for the band, but i started walking in the reverse direction and i bumped into someone who said "hey take this, i happen to have an extra." i was soooo touched and yea i managed to catch the show. it was quite exhilarating as that was my first time watching it. itz a pity i din bring my digicam coz it was a last min decision to take off (image-capturing devices are strictly disallowed in my office). well i would say this yr's motorshow is a letdown. alot of carmakers din take part this yr. but the $10 is definitely worth it if u watch the stunt show. (mebbe queue up to drift legally as well :P)

after which sent my fren to collect his car and test drove an Opel Astra 1.6. we juz wanted to kill off time and i've nv test driven b4. well it was quite fun as i was playing around with AMT (Automatic Manual Transmission). basically itz driving a manual car without using clutch, we can only up/down-gear once at a time, meanwhile controlling the 'biting point' by releasing the accelerator instead. itz pretty hassle-free as it will down-gear automatically when the car is slowing down. but i think a manual car will perform much better in terms of gear-transition and fuel-efficiency. well but itz quite shiok test-driving, next time will test-drive more vehicles :P

also had a great weekend after the 'hectic' week. went to the food expo wif mom on sat and she bought alot of bird's nest and chicken essence and ba gua (she claims itz cheaper there). well juz ate and drank afew samples here and there, din really buy much. but really witnessed typical kiasuness of singaporeans there. long queues for milo, toothpicks stuffed with multiple food samples were very common scenes. and ppl are so selfish when it comes to getting seats. most of them claimed that they were all taken (ya by bags and bags of stuff, legs...) well i guess everyone has his/her ugly side.

went to jb on sun. wanted to play go-kart but called it off as it was pouring v heavily. went for a haircut and ktv after that. well the hairstylist told his staff to blow my hair to give it a temporary perm. it din last long (think abt 1-2 hours) but at least i could visualise how i look wif permed hair. here it is:



hmm so do i look better with straight / permed hair?
