The Procastinator attempts... to blog again

1. Hooked onto "Dicey Business" although it's a 2006/2007 show. And then realized that all shows on lame mediacorp now are related to gambling and casinos. More than a little coincidental with the opening of SG's first casino, isn't it? And that advertisement on some helpline for hardcore gamblers on tv is really getting onto me. It's sad, but I doubt hardcore gamblers take time out to watch much tv anyway.

2. Trying to really pick up Cantonese. Had attempted to speak to a Hong Konger when my non-Canto colleague needed my help, knowing that I'm a Cantonese. I couldn't hold a conversation for nuts. Practically "shamed" into learning Canto for real. I mean, I wanted to all along but my parents gave up talking to me because I spend eons stuttering one miserly sentence. And even then, they don't understand that. But! I bought a book on Canto to prove my sincerity. Canto, download into me!

3. The wedding preparations. To decide on the venue is really quite a tiresome exercise. Managing others' expectations is an absolute chore...

4. Contemplating between a Blackberry and an iPhone. Oh jeez. The allure of the iPhone seems to be fading rapidly. Ahh, maybe I should just stick to my Sony Ericsson for now.

5. The new version of "We are the World" gave me the goosebumps and it's not the feel-good kind. Oh no, I now belong to the "older" generation who turns their noses at the music which youngsters are grooving into, right?
