slurpee sundaes…

Thursday, January 25th, 2007 at 2:11 am

Anyone remembers what a slurpee sundae is? If you do, then like me, you are probably above 25 years old, but had a sweet tooth in the past.

Feeling nostalgic, I went into one of the neighbourhood 7-Elevens to grab one of those slurpee sundaes I remember so well. I used to emotionally blackmail Yuanxiu into getting me those because I usually stayed back in school to travel home together with him.

“Slurpee sundae?” frowns the below-25 staff clad in nauseating red and green. “We only have slurpees. The machine over there,” waves nonchalantly at the slurpee machine in the corner.

Days like these made you wish physical violence were legal.

For the uninitiated, a slurpee sundae is a plastic cup that holds slurpee at the bottom and a good swirl of Mr. Softee on top. It probably became extinct somewhere around the late 90’s after I stopped having them. I must have been the only paying customer…

Feeling old all over again, damn you 7-Eleven!

New Year Resolutions for 2007

Thursday, January 4th, 2007 at 4:40 pm

Another year has gone by… it’s 2007, I will be 28 in less than 2 months! Argh! Time flies.. yada… yada…
After a short hiatus from work, I’ve put on another 4kg! That sums it up to a whopping 79kg! Yikes!

New Year Resolution (NYR) 1: Get back into shape, down to 71kg and below.

With the new flat and all that nonsense, my monthly instalments are getting really hefty, so
NYR 2: Make more money! I need to make up to $1500 in sidelines for a cushy lifestyle.

Singapore being what it is, it’s hard to make more money without more ‘papers’, hence:
NYR 3: Further my qualifications

Well, to be realistic, I should just stick to 3 resolutions, but what the heck, I’ll make it interesting,
NYR 4: Advance a hobby or pick up a new one

Will Wen Yang fulfil his resolutions? Will there be countless obstacles? Check back next year for more updates… :D
