This morning I was told to have a half day off from work. Was so glad cuz I was quite tired and could finally have some rest.

Initially decided to rest at home in the afternoon, but Ron sms'ed me and asked me if I want to go do some new-year shopping. I chose going out over staying at home, as always.

Met up with Ron at Bugis Parco, and walked around, looking for stuff to buy. I didn't have anything specific on my shopping list, so I juz bought as I shopped. Got a new Billabong wallet to replace the old 'Tough' wallet which was quite tattered, and bought a funky hot pad for my grandma as well.

Next we moved on to Bugis Village. The jeans selling in one of the shops were damn cheap - $18 for a pair. I didn't get any, however, cuz didn't really like the design. Got a T-shirt there which says 'God is busy. Can I help you?' with a devil's face after the line 'God is busy'. Main reason why I liked the shirt is cuz I'm actually tickled by the lame joke on the shirt itself.

We went back to the parking lot at Parco to get Ron's bike, and on the way out, the gate refused to open even though Ron had already paid his parking when coming in. We were trying to figure out wad to do when this stupid truck from behind came and pressurized Aearon, causing him to slot his cashcard into some weird reader and the crap ended up deducting $5+ from his cashcard. Wilson Parking system sux and cocks up. Can remember how Ron was cursing and swearing all the way from Bugis to Beach Road.

We bought a drink at Golden Mile Food Centre, then went up to look for Aearon's shoes. After that I tried going to Soh Brothers' to look for my waterproof pouch, but didn't manage to find one there. Thought I would leave Beach Road empty handed until I finally came across dis sports shop when we were about to leave. Tried my luck there, and managed to get what I want.. woohoo.. can go kayaking with my handphone liao.

Next we went to Suntec and I went to get some car-racing VCDs for my sis and for myself. Quite cheap, $25 for 3 pieces. Only thing is the damn thing is in jap with subtitle in chinese, and I can't read chinese. But who cares anyway, I juz wanna watch the cars.. Anyway I went to Nokia Care to try to get my N-Gage earpiece repaired/replaced, but they say my warranty does not cover it cuz the button on the earpiece is missing. Dammit.. Not like as if I took it out and threw it away on purpose.. Instead of buying an expensive N-Gage headset, I decided to try to get a cheap normal earphone instead. Got a decent Panasonic one for $13. We walked around to look for Ron's new year clothes, and went to the Esplanade after that, to look for some books at the library. I owe Aearon 100 pushups for losing the bet that the national library is at Esplanade =P

Ro, Guan n Andrew had reached Suntec a little while later, and we went back to Suntec, getting Ron's book at Sans Bookstore along the way. Saw a book entitled 'The Best Guide to Online Dating'.. wahahaha... all sorts of funny crap stuff, which might be 'useful' for Ro and mi..

After meeting up wif the rest at Carrefoure, we went for dinner, then to Tower Records for a little while, and finally to the arcade upstairs. Tried DDR with Ron, which I did very badly as usual. Later on we went to try out dis new machine called 'Martial Beat', whereby they play some music and have a martial arts demonstrator on the screen and u juz have to mimic what the demonstrator does. Ro pro in that wo!! We had a good laugh at how we play. Anyway dis gal came up to Ron and asked him to play DDR with her. Too bad the gal not chio.. Aearon play till he sweat so much, but we played another 2 games after that. Chose wrong song and wasted one coin.. damn.. We oso continued to try that Martial Beat thingy until 10+ then went outside to sit down, tok cok and make 'MTV's with my fone.. wahaha.. "Y got that *orgasm* look??" (quoted from Guan). Later on my sis came and fetch me and they went home.

My sis drove me to Kallang Mac to get some supper for my mum and for myself as well. I applied for some Macdonald membership thing, which gives 5 free burgers upon registration (if u fill in everything). Got some black pepper beef meal. Couldn't resist the temptation and finished mine on the car. Suddenly I realized that Ron's book was still with me, so I decided to go his house to pass it to him later. Brought the Macdonald meal home to my mum, took with me the singlet I'm supposed to pass to Ron, and took my sis's car to his house.

My sis n I still didn't feel like going home, so we decided to catch Seed of Chucky at Plaza Singapura. Reached PS quite early at 1.20 when the show was supposed to be at 1.55. Slacked around, stocked up on some snacks n drinks, then went into the cinema early.

Show was quite lame, but still got quite alot of funny parts (like Tiffany calling the 'Recovery Hotline' and crying over the fone). Still, I tink I would have enjoyed 'Aviator' better.

Finally felt tired after the show, so we decided to go home.
