Do you know that spainiards have three names? One is a name given by the parents just like how we are each given a name at birth. This is called nombre. The second and third ones are the surnames of the parents, known also as apellidos. The first name will be the father's surname, followed by the mother's surname and finally the nombre. Hence, in actual fact Picasso's full name will be Pablo Ruiz Picasso. Interesting, isnt it? A small fact bite from LonelyPlanet.

Sometimes when life gets really boring and you find yourself having nothing to do for the long stretch of the week, what is your first thought? That excludes the word BORED! You racked your brains for something to do, something to take your mind off from whatever thats bothering you but you end up with nothing! Isn't it really pathetic? No.. this is not a depressing thought nor a depressing post but rather what i call an informative one that provides ideas to clear your boredom. Everyone one of us gets bored one of these days... You will question the routine of life and the way you live it. Here are some answers for the boring ones:

a) break social norms which is suppose to be a "project" that we are to do for social psy. Guess what we did? Some went up to random people to ask for signatures. Some ask: " how many steps are there from here to the convention centre? Because the fortune teller says that i can only take 50 steps today and i have laready taken 45 steps". Some walked into the lift and starts talking to the walls itself. Some stand outside the toilet and bow to every single one who walks out. Well, hilarious isn't it? Though thats not to say we did all of the above, only selected few. Yes. embarrassing but its a thrill.

b) indulge yourself in some dramas so you will find yourself 'chained' to the plot.

c) Try bungee jumping in SINGAPORE

d) call up everyone in your contact list and just talk about nothing in particular

e) attempt to do some D-I-Y stuff. Emphasis on the word ATTEMPT. Haas...

f) Hopping on to a random bus and scoot from one end of the country to the next.

g) Bar- hopping? but that depends on your age and curfew. People associate clubbing with booze but in actual fact its oyur choice whether or not to drink. Its not to say i drink, cuz i don't and i don't want to. can't stand it. Don't want to try. It reeks... Yet, i want to feel how its like to be in a club. Exclude the drinking and the smoke!

h) Try every single food in town. Let your taste buds sizzle to the exotic ones! But, i will pull a stop on the DURAINS! they are the worse fruit one can ever find it in us to consume... And, its still known as KING of all fruits in our country... How can anyone even stay within one metre of it and not 'collapse' is really beyond me!

I) And, lastly if you really can't find anything to do: Book the next flight out of the country...

This list will suffice i guess.

P.s. Sentosa on fri! yea...

P.p.s. having a break soon.. countdown: one more day!

P.p.p.s. Still can't believe that NUM is like...

Beauty in the eye of the beholder;
