I finally got my paws on the game I so wanted to try.

And man, was I fast to chuck my new-found addiction aside, and took on a new brand of cocaine.

Bye Sudoku, hello Lips.

That explains the late night, and the lack of blogging mojo(amongst other mojos).

And I even forgot about the presentation deck I was to come up with this morning(I didn’t forget, just….. procrastination should be damned!).

Anyway.

I managed to sneak a copy home since the very highly sought after game was seldom available with other colleagues loaning it home, and I didn’t stop singing for the night.

Shouting at time, consciously aware of how horrible I sounded at times, and went to sleep with a dry, bad cough.

And I wondered why the dryness in the throat when I woke up this morning.

Lips is a karaoke style game with 40 old and recent classic songs, that will fulfill the showers-singer, wannabe diva in you.

You could download new songs and refresh your song list from Xbox LIVE Marketplace, which I promptly did so and got “Suddenly I see”, “Over my head(Cable car)” and “Superstar” on top of “Stand by me”, “Survivor”(Can kill me lor!), “Irreplaceable”, “White Flag”, “Mercy”, “Yellow”….. and I butchered “Another one bites the dust” so badly that I didn’t dare to attempt the song again.

It was so awesome that I didn’t even realise time passed so quickly and ended up sleeping with the awesome wireless microphone and controller next to me. Today’s Digital Life gave it a 4 out of 5 stars ratings, and I can’t help but secretly wish that my Chinese karaoke usuals will make their way to the Xbox Marketplace someday.

And I can’t wait to go home to sing somemore before my Korean colleague wanted the copy for the weekend. Bummer.

Maybe I will try Dance dance revolution again. Maybe I have became less clumsy somehow.

So. I lost my mojo.

But I found it again through this:

The Arc Mouse, in scarlet, seductive red.

Okay, crystals not included.

But I am just so into how it is curved so sexily(okay, the picture doesn’t really do it justice), looking so classy and graceful.

Like me!

In red! So passionate.

Like me!

With red roller………. uhm, okay I better shuddap.

It is a laser mouse and can be clammed shut coolly(like you would to a clamshell phone) to bring around, and it goes surprisingly easy on the wrist, and is comfortable to use.

Recently it made its way to various fashion magazine(naked, sans crystals) and is damn nice lah! I want oneeee!

Another perk of the job is to be cheered up by nice vendors with nice little surprises.

One of our vendors, and a very capable one may I add, sent this to the office yesterday.

Together with the pretty card is a cute moo moo and a box.

And in the box is nothing expensive, but just…

Snacks! And I love snacks!

And if you wonder what the cute wooden box is, it is actually angbao holder.

So creative and nice!

Today my post is sibei random.

So I am still gonna be random.

I was walking to grab some drinks at the pantry, when I strolled past the newsroom team(I always think they have the coollest job).

I didn’t want to, but I did stop to gawk for a few seconds.

My heart fluttered for a moment, before I walked on.

This, is the sight that greets me whenever I walk past their room, a glass panel with the most recognised faces on it.

These faces, are what make news.

And what caught my eyes, you ask?

Giggles. It is not what is outside the newsroom, but what is inside it.

Still no clue?

I am glad I stopped the palm that was gradually making its way to my heart and the small moan of “Awww…” when I lingered outside their room like a stalker.

I am enough of a weirdo already.

Maybe when they are not around, I will go and tear it down and place it at my cubicle. Hehe.
