Matthew, my concierge, went to the May Fair Bar to get some water got some flowers that was left for a guest. He asked Marios, our new Mayfair Manager for a glass and water for the flowers he had in his hands. And guess what Marios gave him?

A glass of water with ice and lemon.

What was he thinking? I never knew plants needed ice and lemon with their water as well.

Went looking at maternity clothes for my sister today... they look so big... and seem to be of the same style, you know... but then maternity clothes has come a long way man... I remember the kind of maternity clothes Mrs Gan used to wear... The maternity clothes these days are WAY past those times...

I was reading about Area 51 today... And it is really interesting... You should take a look yourself... I never really thought Area 51 is true... until today when i read and look at it... Wonder if there is really alien development inside... Think Independence Day...

I really like the new Sarah Jessica Parker's Gap ads on TV now... So cool, u know, so spunky... reminds me of her character, Carrie Bradshaw in SATC... Too bad i can't find the ad on TV, but take a look at her style... so cool... I love her...

Read this, it is an article about what airline abbrivations actually stand for... which is really cool... and I think SIA is the only one that got a positive interpretation for its abbriviation, which makes me beem with pride. ;)

And they are launching the new-look Straits Times on the 19th October!! Why the 19th?? Why must u do it on the day i leave Singapore? Why can't you do it any earlier? *sulk*

Kiasuism brought to new heights...

It is exactly 3 months and 12 days to Christmas Day and Tesco and Sainsbury have started rolling out their Christmas gifts and Chocolate Selection.... If i thought Singaporeans was kiasu, I obviously have not met the decision makers in Tesco....

I mean, even NTUC does start selling CNY goodies 3 months b4 CNY....

I was at the Miss Universe website for cheap thrill sake, you know, and then i was looking through all the delegates photos and when i saw Singapore's delegate, the first photo juz screams DOWNRIGHT SLUTTY! I'm sorry if i'm going to offend ppl who know her, but then that picture juz looks like it come out of some personal escort (with extra services) advert.

Don't u think so?? Look at the pout and the make up...

And national costume? What kind of national costume is that? Since when have we had that as a national costume?

Argh! Help! I'm not doing work... Have been spending the past 2 hours reading forums and trip reports on Airliners.net... Which means I am not doing my report! Argh...

Oh, take a look at this, it's a flash presentation on USA Today what goes on behind the senses of STC - otherwise known as SIA Training Centre, the school for Singapore Girls... Really interesting.

Some pictures of the hotel room that me and my mum stayed in at the Mayfair when she was here. It's what I would consider the best room in the hotel (not considering the suites lah). But the catch is this: There is only 3 rooms in the hotel with this kind of decor... the rest of the rooms are all in a traditional style.

I talked about this to one of the very senior persons in head office before... they could only tell me that this is a marketing decision... but then, I mean, out of 295 rooms, only 3 are in this decor... so isn't it misrepresentation of the hotel product? Cuz the pictures on the site are definitely not representative of what we sell though?

But if you are lucky enough or know the right people ;) to get this room, I'm sure you would say that your stay is fantastic, the room is FANTASTIC. I know I am cheating since I was the one who allocated this room, but this was the best hotel room I stayed in EVER!! (J W Marriott in Kuala Lumpur comes in a close 2nd).

You know, now that Blogger has the new navigation bar at the top, it looks so much classier now and there are no more ads, which is cool... But my blogskin now looks a little weird with the new navigation bar because it overlaps on it...

Can i tell u i really really can't wait to go home? God knows how long i've been planning this day... Sigh
