Just thought I'd write about the very few things that happened recently that is not an everyday occurence.

My significant other and I watched 2012 yesterday and I cried my eyeballs out. He kept telling me that its just a movie and attempted to reassure me that the world is not coming to an end. I'm upset because my family is on the other side of the planet and even if the apocalypse is not happening tomorrow, I would still like to be close to my family. Needless to say, I'm glad we stumbled upon the free movie online and I didn't have to walk out of a cinema with my red eyes and nose.

We went out for a Korean buffet lunch today. It's about $9 per person and its quite yummy. Woomi Garden in Wheaton has rather good service. The buffet spread was not extensive but it suffice for the rate that they charge. I was in line getting some Kalbi when two older korean women suddenly came right up to me, one on each side. I saw them out of the corner of my eyes but didn't think much of it. After like two seconds, I could feel them breathing down my neck! It wasn't a comfortable arrangement for me. I quickly put down the serving spoon and walked away. I only got two pieces of Kalbi :(

On the way back from lunch at Woomi's, Puff Daddy's featuring Faith Evans "I'll be missing you" started playing on the radio. My significant other proceeded to tell me that Puff Daddy starting rapping because BIG encouraged him. My mind then proceeded to think about different individuals that has passed my life that has made an impact on me. All the reminiscing brought tears to my eyes. RIP Mr Chew and Mr Khoo..You are greatly missed and will always be thought of fondly..

So we got back home and I was going through my violin pieces when I heard sirens on the street below. Its not unusual to hear sirens where our apartment is but I stopped what I was doing as I wouldn't be able to hear what I was playing anyway. The fire engines were racing down the street and stopped right in front of out building. I was wondering what was going as I didn't see anything across the street and the fire alarm in our building was going off. I continued to watch with fascination and through my observation(;P), it was the house across the street was in need of help. I did not see any flames but there lots of smoke coming out of the top floor window. The ladders came out, windows were smashed and water everywhere...I still didn't see any flames..just smoke..
