Chicago The Musical

walnutsrice — Sun, 02 May 2010 06:56:30 +0000

I would have loved to watch this on the original broadway, but cynically, what is original these days anyway? So I am catching this on our Singapore version of Broadway this coming Tuesday 4th May. Tuesday is going to be the best day of the week!

Would it be too over the top if i showed up at work in a Chicago-inspired outfit?

Making alot of money is an art

Making consistent money is a science

Spending money is a talent

Knowing what to buy is culture.

Her works are equivalent to wearing art on myself.

these earrings remain my favourite pair in my collection till today:

from her collection Anatomy of F

i have my eye on this second pair. I always favoured her earrings over all else.

from her collection Seducing the Bowerbird

how awesome is this:

imagine the possibilities of layering

the best part is, when i told tiu I bought this, she said “interesting”. which essentially means she rose her eyebrows and mentally went “not again!”

Protected: i know myself best?

Every year, most people eagerly awake March and April. In March, we get our performance bonus. Our merit increment is announced in April.

Performance bonus is a lump sum, a function of our monthly salary. It is dependent on our work performance from the previous year. People tend to enjoy receiving PB (as it is called) because its a sum of money enough to pay off purchases like car downpayment, house downpayment etc. Or even a long holiday. I liken it to the Talisman of Resurgence. With cooldowns, I get an extra 599 spellpower for 20 sec. It looks great during the first 20 sec of a fight for burst dps. But for the rest of the 5 min long fight, it is of no use.

Merit increment is the increase in the per month salary. It does not sound as impressive as PB, but it accumulates over the year. That is like the Muradin Spyglass. It doesn’t help on the burst, but for the rest of the fight, there is a constant additional 180 sp for the next 5 min. That adds up to a lot when compared to 599sp for 20 sec, if you calculate in terms of total damage done.

It took me a while to warm up to Muradin’s Spyglass but now I am totally cool with it.

Every day, I learn something new

Last month, I watched my buddy marry his girlfriend of 8 years. He said, with tears in his eyes, that he will love and care for her forever. Cherish and treasure her. Be her pillar of strength. And be her loving husband for the rest of his life.

forever. rest of his life. lifetime.

i asked my friends who are getting married or are married. How do you know he is the one? How do you know she is the one?

The answer always is, you just know.

I think i fear finding The One more than I fear not finding the one.

someone once casually mentioned this to 3 of us:

Is work very stressful? The frequency of you guys using the f word has increased quite dramatically.

I actually think it is the best word to express constant frustration in a civilised controlled manner.

someone can disagree.
