Can I have a new set of lungs please...

been coughing up a storm today but that's mainly because I didn't have any cough mixture with me. I took the last dose this morning and didn't manage to get any during lunch but I picked up a bottle on the way home...which reminds me I better take a dose now... eewwwww yuck yuck...I hate cough mixture!!!

Work was pretty uneventful and that's all because my boss took the afternoon off so I spent the afternoon checking out craftster. Left the office a little late though - about 6.30 pm but that's cos I had started to reply to Cor's email at about 5.30 pm and cos of distractions it took me a while to finish the reply plus I was waiting for Julie to finish work so that we could head home together. Got home in time to watch the result show for a local English reality show - The Dance Floor which is sort of like "So You Think You Can Dance?" except that rather than individuals, all the contestants had to be in groups of 2 to 6 members. They're done with the auditions and 32 teams got into this qualifying round. Yesterday was the first round of the dance off so to speak. They had 8 teams perform and only 2 teams got into the next round. The 5th week will be the wildcards. All in only 10 teams will get into the next round. After that I don't know. It seems that the format is similar to the Idol series just that it's dancing instead of singing. In yesterday's show there were at least 5 teams that were really good. Wonder what we have in store for next week. Oh the dancers can dance any form or format of dance. Of the two teams that went through today, one team was 6 guys who did a hip hop breakdance style routine while the outher team was a couple who did a quickstep routine. Of the 2 teams selected each week one is the judges' choice while the other is the viewers' choice.

He he watching "Happily Ever After"...one of the guys in it totally cracks me up. Last year he was the winner of this contest called on "Star Idol" on Channel 8 (one of the Chinese stations) - like Idol just acting instead of singing. He's such a macho type of guy but they've got him playing this girlie guy and I have to admit he's doing a really good job at it hehehehe.

Oh earlier this afternoon after my boss left, I took a pic of the view from his room. The government intends to change the bay area near my office to a sort of water sport come entertainment area. One of the two intergrated resorts (the government's fancy name for casino) will actually be just behind my office. From his room you can see the "durian" I mean the "bug eyes" I mean the Esplande, Suntec City, the Merlion, and also you can see them constructing the Singapore Flyer (our version of the London Eye). Here's the pic with a couple of notes...

Right I'm gonna end here cos I want to watch the rest of tonight's episode of "Happily Ever After".
