Sorry for not updating, life's back to its mundane routine.
After next week though I forsee my schedule to be opening up quite a bit. Biennale, 2nd round of watching Kumar's stand-up, here I come.
So Deepavali is on Monday. As usual, dinner thingo at my house. So if you like a good mix of Indian food, sparklers and playing on the Wii then do stop by.
I'll leave you all with the happiest song ever.
Makes me say 'YAY!!'
If everyone listened to Daedelus I think the world would really be a happier place.

eh....
I love this photo.
Cos it really reflects the dysfunction of our trip. Was just an innocent photo of Lani & I when we first stepped into the Genting theme park. Everyone else wanted a piece of the action, of course.
Although i've been doing my social life a lot of justice lately...
My body is telling me otherwise. Not good. I need to start taking better care of myself.
Oh man, yesterday, after too many vodkas and a tequila shot I started telling guys to fuck off. Literally. Damn. Could've gotten into trouble for that.
Oh my god, it's already mid-October! Once Deepavali is over, then it'd be Halloween. Then after the kid's O Levels, Chiangmai! Then after that.... Some other holiday. Plus another KL trip. Then Christmas! New Year's! Driving test! :OOOOO
Traffic jam to paradise.

yes i'm back, and i still sound like a tranny.
Okay before I start on my trip, I just HAVE to address something which pissed me off sooo bad on Friday morning.
I was on the train to Kranji (which took over a whopping hour, coz Tanah Merah is on the other side of the country), so on the EW Line I got off at Jurong East and made my way there. Two old gross Indian men (the gangster-looking kind, NOT foreign workers) sat opposite me and started scrutinizing me from top to bottom, despite the fact that I was dressed for comfort (read: not attractive) and in jeans.
After a stop or two, a pretty Filipino girl in a short skirt sat next to the two. Big mistake of course, both Filipinos and Indians know that older Indian men are more inclined to the innocent young thangs that hang around Paramount. Not that i'm equating this girly to those that hang out at Paramount.
One of the two uglies get off, leaving the grosser of the two basically looking her up and down, pausing momentarily and her legs, her chest, her face. She, obviously feeling uncomforable, moves as far away as she can from him while still sitting on that very seat thus not exactly getting very far. He continues to leer, while she simply doesn't look in his direction.
At the same time he also decides to throw some attention my way, but doesn't maintain it for long as I was giving him a look of pure venom. This continued for about 5 stops till I finally reached Kranji and stormed off the train looking thoroughly pissed off. Okay yes, I was angry with what he was doing, yet she continued to sit there.
If you're feeling uncomfortable, don't fucking sit there! Why continue to sit there when you're obviously uncomfortable? Walk away, that's the only way to send that asshole a metaphoric slap in the face. I suppose if she wants to continue being harassed thats her prerogative. One step backwards for the human race then.
Whew.
KL was awesome. Screw shopping, we were there for cheap booze, clubs, and of course a day in Genting.
The trip there was alright, albeit the SAMAN that Renie, Hazmir (Renie's BF) and Lani ended up forking out RM50 for apiece for throwing their cigarette butts on the floor just outside Malaysian Immigration. Some guy with a very unofficial looking jacket and a mousey looking moustache demanded that the 3 hand over their passports. He then showed us the 3 cig butts he painstakingly picked up off the grubby road and led them into some unknown room, while I was left like a lost sheep worrying about them.
Ended up having small talk with a random guy working for the checkpoint with whatever street Malay I could manage without trying to sound too idiotic. He said that normally when they catch you for littering, they milk it for all its worth and could fine up to SGD$300 per person! They pocket most of it.
I couldn't believe it! If they really were fined that much, our trip's as good as over. We didn't even pay HALF that amount for this trip! And apparently the lecture was taking longer than usual.
When they finally came out, Lani told me about how he was trying to swindle money out of her cos they thought she was ang moh, after seeing her full name in her passport. She's part Dutch, but a bit watered down. Her surname's Valberg, so they kept trying to make it seem as if she was hoarding truckloads of money and they hit the motherload. When they couldn't be more WRONG HAHA.
When that bullshit was over, we took a bus to Larkin to board our coach to KL. The coach was nice looking on the outside, the inside wasn't half bad either. Except that the air con was unbelievably dehydrating and there were flies. In the bus. But after awhile the flies settled down so we couldn't see them anymore so it didn't bother us as much.
The coach pakcik dropped us at a Petronas petrol station where one of Hazmir's friends came to pick us up in his CAR OF DOOM. He was generally a nice, funny guy but when behind the wheel, it felt like my life was flashing before me. Okay i'm exaggerating. He knew the roads and how to navigate them with his l33t KL driving skillz so I guess its just the scared Singaporean in me talking.
Reached Pondok Lodge, along Jalan Changkat Bukit Bintang, right in the heart of of the clubs and bars. However, it was a backpackers lodge! With a shared bathroom. No way was Ernie gonna accept this when she arrived the next day, so we hunted for another hotel for our 2nd night.
Had dinner at Lot 10, bought some cheap vodka and played dai dee on the Lodge's crappy roofgarden till about 11pm. Went to get dressed and went to partay!
First stop - Frangipani. A happening looking spot just across the road from the lodge. Mercs, BMWs were parked outside, so we thought it must be some happening VIP party. RM30 to get in, which was relatively cheap so we went ahead. The chop was of a Mr Men cartoon character, but we didn't think much of it.
We confidently walked in, hoping to see a happening crowd and some good music, but we couldn't be more mistaken. There were men, EVERYWHERE. Men in tight pants. Men checking each other out. Men dancing with each other. Not a single server was female. It felt very.... strange. We didn't mind the fact that it was a gay club, not at all. We just... didn't expect it to be one! The music wasn't good for dancing, and we felt completely out of place, considering the mood we were in.
So we left, contemplating on where to go next. Just next to the lodge was a bar that was 2 storeys. The 2nd floor looked pretty happening, we could hear the bass and people were dancing, and there were more females, so we ran back across the road to that place. Entry was FREE, the music was great and the crowd was so much fun. We danced till we were almost gonna drop from exhaustion, and we left a bit earlier than expected.
Next morning - hangover galore. I was having a horrible headache and my stomach wasn't agreeing with me. I thought my day at Genting would be ruined! But Renie introduced me to the hangover wonder that was Teh-O.
I had an egg prata and a hot milo, thinking that it'd help to have something warm and food in my stomach, but it didn't. She ordered me the Teh-O despite my extreme dislike for tea (i'm weird like that) and told me to just try and see if it works. After sipping half a glass, the headache disappeared and I felt completely fine. It was seriously amazing. The ride to Genting which I thought was gonna be nausea-inducing whizzed by like it was nothing.
The cold weather in Genting was shiookkk. You can't even see the foot of the mountain, everything's covered in clouds. We had full-day passes for the outdoor & indoor parks, as well as the water theme park, but most of the day was spent at the outdoor park.
The rest sat most of the rides out, while Lani and I rode every adrenaline-pumping ride at least twice. The Space Shot was the best. I don't know how high up we were at the top of the tower thing, but free-faling from what looked like the highest point in Genting must've been the biggest shit-my-pants scared feeling i've ever had in my LIFE.
Towards the evening more clouds descended onto the park as it got colder. It started to resemble something like a haunted theme park.
Left in the evening. Ernie came Saturday morning but didn't wanna come to Genting, spoiler woman. Took us a longer time to get back, cos the roads were covered in clouds you could hardly see what was in front of you.
We thought it'd be another night of partying, but Renie came down with the flu so we just drank in the room and called it a night. We needed to be up early for the 8am train back to SG.
Train ride was 8 hours! I can fly to fucking South Africa in 8 hours!
We finally touched homeground sometime past 5. The ride to Tanjong Pagar from Woodlands was damn interesting. Saw parts of SG i've never seen before in my life. Abandoned areas, atas condos, interesting colonial flats. Oh and lots of jungle. I suppose it beats miles and miles of oil palm plantation.
Had a huge plate of hokkien mee at the KTM before calling it a day and heading back.
Not bad la. I spent less than SGD$150. It was more awesome than it sounds okay.
Anyway, it's 4something in the am, my dad just stumbled in drunk as a sailor, and my momma's gonna have a hernia about that.
Tomorrow's the day before the O Level practical! So much tuition tomorrow it's coming out of my ears.

my voice is low and secksay
Been having the sore throat since Monday. I've been blowing everyone off because I didn't want it to escalate to a full blown flu but turns out its just a sore throat. Still had to give tuition the past few days, and now i've almost lost my voice. I feel like i'm really straining myself everytime I speak to the kids.
Tomorrow, Kranji at 8am (wah lao) to take the bus to JB, then coach to KL. Saturday, a day in Genting, then probably partay at night. Sunday, morning train all the way back here. Short and sweet lah.
Aresha's MIA again, the new maid is fuckin' awesome (and her name is SHINOMI, beat that), my bank statement has been quite stagnant and I can't wait for tomorrow.

just briefly
Been spending more and more time at the beach. Not that I mind. Just the other night Raushan and I saw two shooting stars. Made Daniel feel like shit for not joining us.
Weekends have been pretty awesome, if not drinking then just hanging out till the wee hours and talking about all sorts of nonsense with those two.
If all goes well, I will be heading up to KL this weekend with Lani, Ernie, Renie and her boyfriend. Things have almost been finalized, so i'll be off on Friday! Can't wait for the break. Tuition weeks are now Monday through Sunday which is thoroughly exhausting. I have been spending money through my nose so after the trip I will SAVE the moolah. With the exception of shopping for clothes for Australia.
Converse Warehouse Sale was friggin' amazing. Sneakers dirt cheap, Kappa slip-ons going for $10-$15! Converse sneakers going for $20-$50 at the most. Everlast sneakers all around $30. Bought myself an awesome pair of Converse for $30, with a pretty funkay design.
Semi-regret not buying checkered loafers! Bought a black Kappa jacket and a grey Michael Jackson-inspired Everlast jacket. Crowd was madness too, but thankfully since it was so cleverly hidden away a lot of people wouldn't have bothered. Primela was with me, and she picked up two pairs of Converse - 1 for work and 1 for going out. All thanks to Mon for the tip-off!
Now I just gotta wait for the Zara end of season sale so I can buy myself a spiffy jacket. And several interesting hats. They seem to spice up my mojo on the partying circuit. On Saturday a random short (albeit not bad looking) little man named David enlightened me with what people hide under their hats in his country. I never found out where he was from, but apparently they keep chickens under their hats.
Saturday night was the usual madness with Ernie and Lani involving MOS and Chinaone. Drinks were disgustingly expensive that night, don't know why. Thank god for King Kong and free entry! :D
MOS had a mad raid that kicked everyone, and I really mean EVERYONE out of MOS. Bumped into Ungku outside and he said they're closing down for renovations, then reopening under a new name. Well they had better, they did no justice to the MOS branding whatsoever.
But to kick everyone out? Its like the most recent nights out with the girls always end shitty, but things turned around when two random drunks kept inviting us to Living Room and couldn't even get their words straight. The 3 of us were falling off the squishy chairs from laughing way too much. Ernie's such a crackup.
Was a good night regardless.
Thanks for the awesome photo Ungku! Haha Lani and her goondu face.
Long-ass week ahead before KL.. Could Friday take any longer?

seeeelamat. hari raya *familiar tune*
I got a Hari Raya fix, and i'm not even Muslim!
Cos... Ernie is awesome!
She dropped by to pick up her camera charger, and dropped off some of her mom's awesome cooking.
Some beef and chicken. I haven't tried it yet cos it's a bit late and I don't want to wake up Ash.
I have a feeling my mom might flip out cos its beef.
I suppose its a bad thing that i've resolved to being single till I leave. The loneliness is somewhat taking a toll. BUT ITS FOR THE BETTER, ARUNA. So just fuckin' deal with it.
:/

from my new webcomic obsession
Boy Meets Girl.
Boy Impresses Girl with a Gamecube Birthday cake.
Girl moves in with boy and they play many games together
Boy wants a baby.
Girl wants a Nintendo Wii.
From Anders Loves Maria - a Swedish based romance. Since I knew of the internets i've been reading webcomics, from the beginnings of Megatokyo to the demise of RPGWorld. But unlike those two, I came across Anders Loves Maria unrandomly. In fact, I was on bus no. 12 about a week ago to Jln Tua Kong, because I have a tuition kid staying at Elite Terrace. The new handicap buses have support handles (whatchamacallits) with transparent plastic areas for advertisements.
The one I was standing directly adjacent from had a small piece of torn up paper, which said 'Google Anders Loves Maria' in black ink.
At first I thought it said Anders Loves Mafia (blame bad handwriting) and I googled it, only to be corrected with 'Did you mean: Anders Loves Maria?'
So yes, hence my new webcomic obsession. Do check it out, it's got a cute storyline to it.
I shan't blog anymore because I am a little bit high from too much Redbull and booze from the F1 launch partay. Have a good Friday everyone, despite the shitty jams and congested MRT due to F1. Don't bother going into town, srsly. It's a death wish.
P/S: I didn't see no Redbull Formula Tunas- I mean Unas tonight! I'm very disappointed. D: With the exception of Lutfiah, but she was a Sepang Una. And she's cool la. I want to see the disappointments that are the Singapore Unas.

when the weather gets warm
Right, so today I was supposed to take my Final Theory. I wrote it down in my organiser that it was today.
I got to the CDC early and stood around just like everyone else. I didn't take out my book, but everyone else had, reading up to cram whatever they can at the last minute.
And their books were green. Green for the Basic Theory Test. Hmm something's not right.
Then the time came for everyone to line up outside the classroom. I just had to check my receipt.
23/09/08.
Oh well, I have one more day to brush up on things.
I simply cannot believe I sat on my ass and wasted the first 6 months of this year not learning how to drive. We have two cars, one of which is a sports car, and I procrastinated. Why? I really... don't know. And when I do eventually get my license before I go, which is a gigantic IF, i'll probably have all of a handful of weeks to drive before I leave.
On the flipside, I won't have to worry about being suspended during my probation year.
Haven't been updating. Things have been extremely routine, with the occasional night out every couple of days. This URL has probably been wiped off the face of several browsers, but no matter. I have big plans for this blog in the years to come. Which isn't too long, it's down to 4 months now.
Once October comes around everything will be quite chaotic. I think i'll probably be up to my neck in tuition (MONIES!) with everyone's exams coming around. Tentative Genting trip with the WO girlies, and a tentative Batam trip with the bahluls. Tentative Chiangmai trip in November, and lastly, a tentative (undecided) trip in December. I just need one kickass holiday before I go. I managed to convince the momster that Japan isn't really THAT cold in winter. But it's still in the works.
Then come December it'll be - apply for Visa, source for accomodation online, book my ticket, pass my TP (please god let it be in December, if I pass my FTT tomorrow), have a kickass Christmas with the family, a kickass New Year's with my closest friends, throw a goodbye BBQ and then finally disappear.
Past few weeks have been pretty great, am making it a point to do something fun every weekend. During the RSAF Open House pa managed to get tickets for a ride on the C130. Took some cool photos of the interior, I think we should make it a point to visit Singapore's manymany islands. Some of them are absolutely beautiful! But of course there's the occasional saltwater crocodile.
Went to watch Wall E with Surin before he enlisted. Supposed to watch 4Bia, but the showtimes were in the early afternoon so we decided to watch Wall E instead which was nothing short of awesome. Everytime I bring it up people say it looks irritating, which I have to admit it does, BUT that's very deceptive because it's actually a damn good movie. I want the Wall E robot.
More recently Aresha, Primela, Elizabeth, her boyfriend and I went to Three Monkeys at Orchard Towers to watch Kumar do stand-up comedy. He was just freaking hilarious. Tranny lip-syncing galore, but I loved every bit of it.
Upon noticing ang mohs in the audience;
'Oh hi where are you guys from?'
'We're from London.'
'Ohhh lovely, please stay. We're leaving.'
Okay gotta go and do my tuition thang, as I do everyday. It's really taking a toll, but the money's too good. I'll leave you all with the song from Wall E's closing credits, Down To Earth.
P/S: RATTIES FINALLY GET ALONG! They have totally stopped trying to kill each other. They groom each other, playfight and feel the need to box each other every hour or so. Only shitty thing is that Stalin can squeeze out the bars of the humongo 3 storey cage, which sucks. He got out one night when I wasn't home and bit a hole in the leather of my retro headphones. I wanted to kill him, but of course I didn't. :)
I got to the CDC early and stood around just like everyone else. I didn't take out my book, but everyone else had, reading up to cram whatever they can at the last minute.
And their books were green. Green for the Basic Theory Test. Hmm something's not right.
Then the time came for everyone to line up outside the classroom. I just had to check my receipt.
23/09/08.
Oh well, I have one more day to brush up on things.
I simply cannot believe I sat on my ass and wasted the first 6 months of this year not learning how to drive. We have two cars, one of which is a sports car, and I procrastinated. Why? I really... don't know. And when I do eventually get my license before I go, which is a gigantic IF, i'll probably have all of a handful of weeks to drive before I leave.
On the flipside, I won't have to worry about being suspended during my probation year.
Haven't been updating. Things have been extremely routine, with the occasional night out every couple of days. This URL has probably been wiped off the face of several browsers, but no matter. I have big plans for this blog in the years to come. Which isn't too long, it's down to 4 months now.
Once October comes around everything will be quite chaotic. I think i'll probably be up to my neck in tuition (MONIES!) with everyone's exams coming around. Tentative Genting trip with the WO girlies, and a tentative Batam trip with the bahluls. Tentative Chiangmai trip in November, and lastly, a tentative (undecided) trip in December. I just need one kickass holiday before I go. I managed to convince the momster that Japan isn't really THAT cold in winter. But it's still in the works.
Then come December it'll be - apply for Visa, source for accomodation online, book my ticket, pass my TP (please god let it be in December, if I pass my FTT tomorrow), have a kickass Christmas with the family, a kickass New Year's with my closest friends, throw a goodbye BBQ and then finally disappear.
Past few weeks have been pretty great, am making it a point to do something fun every weekend. During the RSAF Open House pa managed to get tickets for a ride on the C130. Took some cool photos of the interior, I think we should make it a point to visit Singapore's manymany islands. Some of them are absolutely beautiful! But of course there's the occasional saltwater crocodile.

crisis averted
I don't know if Life! mentioned why exactly Kanye's concert was postponed, but if they did, my bad then.
If they didn't, well, he got arrested at LA Airport.
I'm not complaining. At least by the 29th of October i'd have a sizeable amount of money (here's to hoping).

this is it
Everything has fallen on deaf ears. I've done all I could, only for it to be dismissed as being 'unsupportive'.
The past few years, trying so desperately to help, for what? I held on to this like a complete idiot.
So I give up.
All the shitty decisions you've made, you dug this hole for yourself.
I am blunt by nature. It's not what you call.. a strong front. Deal with it, or move on.

<3
Was a short albeit mad couple of hours of DNB, Dubstep, and Ali G's JUNGLE IS MASSIVE! Which really got people off their seats and out of the smoking area back onto Blu Jazz's tiny dance area. Had to wait HOURS for the DNB. Sillyme thought they'd start it at 10pm but the DJ was playing generic nonsense but it wasn't a strictly DNB event so.... Just gotta wait till next Saturday!
The past couple of days have been pretty good to me.. Hell week of tuition has finally wrapped, and I can go back to waking up at whatever time and teaching 2-3 kids a day, rather than 3-4. Had a pretty fun night with Raksha, Dineesha and newfound small friend Abigail with her freshly pierced tongue at Al Majlis, then drinks at Blu Jazz after while waiting for Aresha to start playing.
Met Mimi at Simpang for a drink, then headed to the Geylang bazaar despite the shittyass weather with Fatimah, then an impromptu lepak sesh with Raushan. Need to clock in some sleep for last minute prelim preps with two students!
Photoblogpost soon I promise.

dumbfuck singaporeans
Almost successfully sold Rasputin's newer cage today. Almost. The listing on Ebay was immediately sold to some ass in Yio Chu Kang.
The listing stated pick up at Tanah Merah MRT, but I agreed to a pick up at City Hall MRT instead cos it's on my way to tuition near Ikea Alexandra. As much as it would inconvenience me to lug the cage all the way to fucking City Hall via MRT, I just wanted to get rid of it.
Then I decided fuck, I should just take a cab. It'd be too expensive to drive in with all the ERPs and whatnot. 1 hour prior to meet-up I asked if it was okay to up the price by $10, as I was taking a cab to meet the asswipe. On my part I shouldn't have done this so last minute, but i'd expect some degree of understanding, and I don't want to be ripped off.
Isn't it only fair for him to pay? I did state pick up at Tanah Merah, and I was meeting him at his convenience, nearer to his place.
So he said forget it then.
Wtf moment. I AM NOT ONE TO BE MANIPULATED.
p/s: will hopefully have a photo-blogpost up soon. Been meaning to do that for awhile!

carlos are you lost
Do you not want your jacket back? I'm very tempted to throw it on for fun, you better take it back soon!
You could tell your parents you picked it up at a vintage store for cheap (am not implying in any way that the jacket looks 2nd hand).
Orr..
You could tell them it was a gift.
You could tell them you found it in a cinema.
You could tell them the people at Style magazine have now chosen you to endorse random articles of clothing.
You could tell them you traded in one of your old jackets for this a la YouSwop.
You could tell them they were throwing them out for free to offset rising food prices.
You could..... I've run out of ideas.

laggation
You know that type of headache? When you get up and walk a few steps then your brain sort of.. catches up with your cranium? In doing so it actually knocks the inside of your forehead, sending this strange pain down your face and your vision starts to fuck up momentarily.
That plus inexplicable arm aches. Strange.
Am feeling a financial pinch on the bum. Shelled out $200 for ratty castrations on Saturday, which I did so pretty willingly. It was only the post-payment pinch that got to me. Both Stalin&Rasputin have been snipped and are now testosteroneless. Woke up at some indecent time in the morning (8.30am) and took a cab down to the vet at Bukit Purmei, think Vivocity.
I had to go THAT far to get to the vet because no vets around the East have the confidence to operate on rodents. That's quite sad, cos if someone brings in a dying hamster and the vet refuses the operate they'd just have to put it down.
But anyway, through some asking around I got this clinic's contact number, and they scheduled me right away for an appointment. On that Saturday itself the vet said the surgery could be done. So with slight hesitance, I left my two boys there.
Oh and turns out Stalin has bigger balls than Rasputin! Who would've known...
After the surgery, the vet nurses gave Rasputin a rubber glove filled with warm water to lie on, and apparently he reclined backwards on it cos it was so shiok. The nurses thought he died and got a shock. Am currently nursing the two, giving them their antibiotics and painkillers which would be easier if Rasputin stopped attacking the syringes.
They shouldn't fight anymore after this. And its only right for me to make sure of that before I put them up for adoption :(

you go to jail bad boy
"If you enjoy what you do, you’ll never work another day in your life."
Why is it when I quote this to people, they refuse to believe Confucius said it?
It definitely holds true though.
I give tuition everyday, and it feels like DEATH.
On the other hand despite the long hours and fatigue, I absolutely loved going to the vet every (other) day.
I think my blog was a more interesting read when I was volunteering at the vet. Tuition doesn't exactly get your blood pumping.

i must exit into the night
Need some DJ Patife to calm my nerves.
Ok better.
I am deliriously thankful for everything that keeps me as happy as ever. And keeping me happy, while my departure is looming nearer, though it's still a ways to go.
Rasputin is going to knock his entire food tray off the 2nd floor of his cage if he keeps attacking Stalin through the bars. Ratty castration is sorely overdue, so I will be hopefully be getting it done this week.
Bought a huge-ass 3 tiered ratty cage cos I felt the guinea pig one I bought wasn't suitable. Thinking the two boys were somewhat getting along, I housed them together. Baddd idea.
The cage is awesome though, bought it 2nd hand so backside won't tear.
Girlfriends and I went to Zouk's Flea n Easy to see what all the hype was about. The clothes were actually not bad, was thinking about a $60 maxi dress but decided against it. In the end I had my heart set on a checkered fedora with a red band and pretty blue lining for only $20, but when I finally decided to buy it and went back to the stall, IT WAS SOLD!
I was devastated for all of an hour. I told Yiling - if we see the person wearing it, just take and run ok.
Otherwise the trip was quite unfruitful for me and Yiling. On the other hand, Su and Rau were having a field time. Afterwards we trooped to Great World City and had lunch/dinner at Subway, followed by endless MAD rounds of Pictionary. Su was bringing the cards, hourglass, notebook and pencils around in a plastic bag in her bag, so cute la.
Great World City has BADASS toilets. Photos with Raudhah!
We made our way back afterwards, and Aresha called, on the way home from the Indian fair at the Expo asking if I wanted a ride home. I stood uncomfortably at the taxi stand while all the NS boys were assembling before going to camp, facing the taxi stand. Only because I knew Aresha was going to be blasting the cassette tapes she bought from Sungei Rd on Saturday.
Yes, the Cefiro has a cassette player. It's awesome cos whenever we pick up a random cassette tape we can just pop it in without whinging about how we threw away our walkmans yonkers ago.
Aresha bought Sing Along Singapore, and Learn English with Maggi (primary school teaching aid or something?). She was blasting DAYUNG SAMPAN from the former, windows down, when she arrived at the taxi stand.
She asked when I entered, "You think the army boys heard or not?"
We ended up going to Tampines Mall to window shop. As a result of my devastation earlier, I bought a black fedora from Craft. Don't think i'll use it in the day though, kinda hard to pull it off without looking like every other indie poof.
Oh, we saw Carlos at the flea market! He was buying all sorts of stuff, and an army green fedora. He looks so amazing nowadays, and Yiling and I fell in love with the elbow watch he was wearing. Simpang night soon fo' shor!
Ok better.

I really am. I know, it's not their fault, neither their problem. It's just me. I'm just extremely bored waiting.
The last 6 months thereabouts. I'M SO BORED.
I will;
1) Send my bike for repairs tomorrow
2) DRIVE DAMN FECKIN' WELL SO I GET MY LICENSE ASAP
3) Change phone. My contract has expired for 4 months already WTF
4) Spend helluva lot more time with friends
I don't want to leave next year and regret not spending enough time with you monkeys. And I feel so bad everytime I pangseh Ernie and Lani. Thursday AND Friday will be spent out and about, getting drunk (but not as drunk as I was on Lani's birthday, that was the worst) on hopefully the least money possible.
I find that I've been limiting my fun SO much because of my lack of spending. I did want to go see Travis, but didn't think it was worth it. Turns out they played an almost-full set (I think?). F1 walkabout tickets don't seem worth it because the zone is SO FAR FROM THE TRACK.
Aiya I feel like a scrooge. And with Kanye West's concert coming.... God help me.
