alright. time for an update on what's been happening in my life.
came back from overseas training in the land of oz 5 days and 3 hours ago. went to dfs, got this limited edition absolut vodka in purple and black imitation leather wrap with studs, a merlot(i think) and 3 cans of tiger classic. havent drunk any yet. that same day, went to collect my bike from nus. cos i lent it to vic during my 2month overseas stint. went to the bike shop at bukit merah to get it fixed up. not much damage actually, just some new scratches to the fuel tank, head fairing, exhaust pipe cover and broken pillion leg rest. vic buanged. got caught in the rain on the way there. went home, had dinner, and slept. first night back in singapore. it felt good to be back. back to my friends, my bike, and my computer. lol church the next day. stress cos i didnt know there were so many events in dec. and i'm on roster quite a bit it seems. played pool with reg d peeps the next day after dinner. many many months since i handled a cue stick. my aiming and shot proficiency has dropped significantly. not that i'm pro, but i feel so lousy when i see that shots i could have handled in the past with confidence fail to materialise now. lol. and the event was "graced" by 2 special guests. one more special than the other, cos it didnt seem like she'd come. heh. sunday, was a mini regret. oh. went to citymusic on sat afternoon to get my amp, effects and a mixer. spent about 700, collected the mixer the same day, then went vincent's hse to be calefare.
side note purely for educational purposes-
(according to the dictionary of singlish and singaporean english) calafare /kah-lah-fair, kair-lair-, kɑːlɑːˈfɛː, kɛːlɛː–/ n. [Cant., origin uncertain: see 2008 quot.] Also cair-lair-fare, calefare, callafair. 1 An actor playing a minor role or bit part in a film or television programme, an extra. 2 fig. An idle person, a layabout; a supporter, a hanger-on. 1 2008 “Are you sure this is how you spell calefare?” Calefare [blog for Mediacorp TV comedy series], 30 July. There is truly no such word in the dictionary. Pronounced as “care-lair-fare”, the term refers to bit-role actors, or extras in the entertai[n]ment industry in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. No one can really agree on how to spell the colloquialism, some spell it as “Callafair”, some spell it as “Cair-lair-Fare”. According to the producers, the term “calefare” – literally translated from Latin means to “keep warm”. And since the producers decided to spell it as “Calefare”, we, the calefare, are sticking with it. Nobody really knows for certain how we extras came to be referred to as “calefare”. One theory is that the term evolved from a Cantonese phrase (“chia li fei”) that referred to the lunch packs served to us – tomato rice, curry rice and coffee.
