oh no it's portland on weekend of 20th feb instead!

:) because the jazz festival would be then! and yes my vcf friends whom i spoke to over msn have been saying that i have changed rather much... didn't use to be so crazy over jazz.. well i am not exactly crazy nor very knowlegeable about it... but i enjoy it! it takes alot of skill and discipline to play that sort of music... and not to forget skill and talent too... something i may not possess but appreciate in others... :)

so it would be postponed till like two weeks later... but still got to plan the whole trip and cost and all... might be a little steep due to the entrance fees which we would otherwise not incur... as well as with the hotel stay... three nights... in uptown portland... *shrug* ian should be pouring over the scheduling and planning... he should be glad he has company... haha...

anyway i think i am hooked on online shopping... the shipping costs here are cancelled whenever you order a purchase over a certain amount... and my physically not going to the mall for obvious reasons of trying to cut down my expenses hasn't been helping much i guess... haha...no la... least online i can have that cognitive dissonance really quickly and not order it at all! which is a good thing... cause if i don't have that shiok feeling of getting something first hand i don't think i would want it at all...

but my marketing assignments keep needing me to go shopping to check out the scene in retailing... which the girls here periodically do but i am quite sick and tired of the shopping here even... yes even if the malls are so mega... cause i have covered the whole mall near my school... so i guess it's starting to get boring for me... until i get to portland of course! haha....

*wink*

good thing ian shops too...

and roolin would be coming with us as well... which is good la... got a girl's opinion for a change... and of course nice company from a nice girl... :) not that you aren't nice ok ian!

well we would be 'spoilt for choice of jazz pubs' in seattle as ian has gotten a fresh list of jazz pubs to go to over the weekend following the jazz festival in portland three weeks later... so i would be mugging today to get things done (as well as sunday night) for my tests next week so that i can get to the international district tomorrow to do some singaporean food shopping... (no i don't really miss anything but the north indian curry) and then get to the goodwill market to get hot water boiler for my daily coffee dose... and then of course head off to the jazz pub... what else? :)

there's finance meeting on sunday (imagine working on a weekend with group mates, argh) i would never do this in singapore... but since i am staying so near campus... guess it's alright... and so i have to go for the earlier service so that i can study for my test at night... haiz...

nothing unlike back in singapore where i am forever working during the semester... just that i have lots more extra activities in church and stuff that keeps me on my toes even more all so often...

going to talk to my family over the web cam tonight... which is singaporean time sat afternoon... yay! my mom would have just came back from japan... :)
