November

What's the first thing you'll think of about November? If you grew up in the 70s, it would definitely have to be November Rain by Guns N' Roses! All time favourite and during my school days, Guns N' Roses was the talk of the town. I still remember the Guns N' Roses stuff that I've drawn on my classroom's table, my school bag, almost everything was Guns N' Roses!

This is what I drew on my school bag and table!





November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one


Well.. Let's see what has happened in November for me.. I know I know.. I've not been updating much on my blog.. Other than being hooked on Heroes season 1 and 2, completing all episodes for the past 3 days on tudou.com and sleepless nights, it's been some time I'm hooked on series other than Sex and the City which was years back, and my last DVDs marathon.

Let's see...

This was one morning which I've yet to sleep and mum asked me to follow her to the supermarket. I couldn't remember the last time I went to the supermarket with her, and I just thought why not, since I used to accompany mum in the past.


These were the items mum bought and she was giving me a "lesson" on the price increase and which are the items that their prices have gone up and by how much... Mum really know her shopping in the supermarket well!


She even know what to purchase in order to get this packet of whatever-it-is for a discounted price!


Maddie's back on flight and she's craving for indo cuisine so we head down to this particular place at Far East Plaza. Beside been busy with her flights and me listening to her complains about work, I don't really see her much these days after she start flying, only when she's back from flight and have enough time to meet up. Other than that, flights were all packed.


Tereza's, her mum and godma (Vivian's mum) were in town! She was in Hong Kong for some Tatler photoshoot with 5 others from other parts of asia and made a stop here as well to visit LS. Apparently it's for some anniversary edition and covering on asia. They spent about 4 days here and as usual, bringing them around town and it was a first visit for Vivian's mum. I'm glad they had fun. We even brought them to Dragonfly! Hahaha...

We went shopping and had a try on the Godiva ice-cream


We had dinner at LS's new place, which is also Sammie's place, and LS is the cook for the night. He insisted on cooking for us and want us to try his cooking after he has done a few dinners for our friends, he wanted his mum, godma and sis to try as well, before going back home the next day.

Super Import Night at Expo. The guys arranged to go down for a look and it's been some time we met up as well. I brought along my DSLR and carelessly, I forgot to check the battery level since I just went for a photoshoot in Changi with the SPUG guys. When I reached there, took 2 shots and that's it! Low batt! WTF!!

Went around checking out who are using Nikon and tried my luck to see if anyone has any spare batts... But no luck... They're not so kind afterall... Well, what to do... Left my dslr at my friend's booth and just looked around while some of them had fun with the new racing game. Took a few shots with my mobile though...

Porsche GT3


Sean's new ride on display. He got a very good deal for this!


Met a lot of friends and their booths there since this car industry is not that big and someone knows someone anyhow. 6 degrees of separation.

Need a haircut and was lazy to go to PWP which I usually have my haircut at QB cut. So I walked out to the indian barber just along the main road which is near my place. It's the popular barber which has appeared on countless ads. If I'd not forgotten, it should be called, New Star Barber. A very very old place, which I believe should be more than 30 years of history. The equipments and stuff they have in the salon is really old! Antique! Even the barbers... I was in a bit of cold sweat when he was shaving for me... Hahaha... And the haircut took about 25 mins... Then again, I loved it. Traditional nostalgia place. I wonder if the boss will allow me to take some photos there... Anyway I did took a few with my mobile on the barber shaving me, my stubble.




Sammie, LS and I had lunch at this Chilli Padi restaurant which serves nonya buffet. Sammie was saying how nice and delicious it was so we went down for lunch and give it a try. It's cheaper for lunch and it's because they have 3 dishes lesser than the dinner menu. I just don't find it delicious and to my liking though.... I'm beginning to doubt Sammie's taste bud....




We took a bus back and Sammie is fast to meet the Z monster!


It's been some time I've met up with Elvin and Felix, my school mates. Besides busy with work overseas and Felix's new born girl, Elvin is in town and brought us to this pub which he's a regular called 酒潭林 at Carpenter Street. Very cosy and comfortable pub. I like their old chinese days concept and their female waiters (locals) are very friendly but not too friendly. We actually went down 3 days in a row and the number of liquor I've drank for these 3 days brings me back to the days I'd spend in Shanghai!

With the craze on Facebook going on, it was quite amazing that how Facebook has been growing so BIG! And how amazing it is linking all those you know. Yes, the people you know, but has lost contact for years... School mates that I've not seen since we left school in 1993, friends who have not been in contact for some time... They're slowly coming back in contact, again... No wonder this thing is worth millions!

So, November's is a month busy hosting Tereza, her mum and godma, with Facebook, with Heroes season 1 and 2. Doing things that I've used to do in the past, feeling nostalgic. Going out with friends who are busy and asking you out when they're free.
