Went for work as usual on wed and thursday. The work was still as boring but it was more tolerable than the first day of work. Went for dinner with gs and derrick on thursday night at old airport hawker centre. Derrick was late for one whopping hour while gs and i walked along geylang road since we got nothing to do.

Went out with fuli and weiming today since fuli is going to taiwan for ATEC next tue and he will only be coming back on 30 Apr, which is more than a month's trip. We originally planned to go east coast to rollerblade or cycle but since Bernard suddenly got more important things to do and David backed out of unknown reasons as well. We decided to retreat back to the city and hang out there instead. We met up at bugis junction but did not spend too much time there. The 3 of us were not too hungry and decided to go suntec city. We passed by Shaw Towers and decided to ask the shaw movie counters if we could purchase tickets for Singapore International Film Festival. They were not selling over there but gave us brochures for the film festival instead.

When we arrived at Suntec, i suggested going Carrefour as i wanted to take a look at some of the exercise equipment selling there. The place was quite packed and we spent around 30 mins searching for it. We spent most of the time browsing through the cds, vcds and dvds instead as some of them were available at quite a low price. We headed to the food court at level 3 for our lunch. I suggested going to the exhibition halls as i thought there will be some fairs or sales or exhibitions there. We were rather disappointed as there was only one event held there which is the wedding fair. The wedding fair had already been there for ages and it is more like a wedding stall instead of a fair.

We decided to go to marina square and then esplanade since we got a lot of time to spare and no particular activity to do. We went to the rooftop of esplanade and had a rather nice chat there while enjoying the great scenery and the cool wind. We were discussing about the tallest building in the CBD and i told them about the fengshui of UOB and OUB buildings that i learnt from a history tour of Singapore some time ago. The OUB building had sharp edges that can "cut" its rivals and the UOB building countered the "sha qi" by having an octagon design instead of flat squarish designs that will be cut easily. Also, there is an additional shorter UOB building adjacent to the main building and there is a wide space between the 2 buildings. The purpose is such that when the OUB building tries to "cut" its rivals, OUB will fail cutting the octagonal UOB building and will fall within the space between the 2 UOB buildings. Indeed, UOB has acquired OUB a number of years ago. Thus, proving that fengshui has a certain degree of accuracy in it. Coincidentally, a tour guide brought his group up to the top of esplanade as well and he explained the same thing to them.

We went back to Raffles City and saw a bit of Shanghai in Vogue, a part of the Singapore Fashion week. We walked around and headed to the hawker centre between douby ghaut and city hall again for dinner. Then went to ps and watched the rock climbing event held outside the building. There were 4 walls around 6 metres high but they are really challenging with handgrips spaced widely apart and a wall with a horizontal section in the middle.

Went inside ps for a while and headed to orchard next before going back. Dyed my hair for the 2nd time tonight. I was absolutely stunned with the result. I was expecting my hair colour to be darker than the colour shown on the packaging since my hair was much darker than the color stated the 1st time i dyed my hair.

I'm now an asian with blond hair! Looks a like a "chao ah beng" already. Gosh...............
Took a picture of my hair from the top.
