After lessons yesterday, went hospital to visit my bro, den went home for dinner, bath n slp. My energy level seems to be dropping tremendously these few days, and I can sleep as early as 11 and still wake up at 7 feeling tired. Can remember myself waking up a few times before it's the actual time to wake up, though.

My dad's car broke down in the morning due to engine overheat while driving me to CCK for my lessons. Tink I scared liao, next time drive haf to keep monitoring the temperature meter. Today's the last day of my course, and I got to finish and leave early. Immediately, I made my way to Ron's hse, and reached at around 4.30, and Ro was already there. We went to somewhere in the neighborhood to send some postcards, buy flowers, buy fish food n buy Ron's father's food. I spotted a flying lizard on a tree near the post office, and I actually provoked by throwing twigs at it, it just to watch it fly. It performed it's stunt once, but on the 2nd time when I actually wanted to show Ron that the lizard can actually *fly*, I kept missing, and in the end, it climbed higher n higher into the treetop where by twigs couldn't reach at all.

After getting everyting done, we went back to Ron's hse to slack for a while, den went to Victoria Street for Meepok, much to Ron's reluctance of eating meepok again.. wahahah.. I took Ron's bike there, n the evening traffic was so damn heavy along the way dat Aearon was cursing n swearing along the entire journey there.

We made our way to our favorite spot after our dinner - the arcade at Marina Bay. I 4got to bring my Ghost Squad card today, so I played using Ron's card. I tried out some sniper rifle in the game today (SPR11), and found that it actually boosts my accuracy rating by alot (normally i can only get 1700+ or so, whereas I could get 26000 with dat rifle). As usual, I played a few games of Para Para n Percussion Freaks. In addition, I tried the guitar simulator with Aearon, and found dat it's actually quite a fun game as well.

Made our way to boat quay at ard 10+, and juz sat there, tok cok, and tell lame jokes/riddles. Haf to admit that some of the lame jokes are actually quite funny.. After it was past midnite, Ron sent mi home n we sat downstairs at my void deck to tok cok for a while n rest, cuz Ron was getting sleepy. Chatted till he was ready to go.

I was forced to clear my remaining half-day off today, so I was left with a free afternoon/evening. Met up with Raymond at Bugis, to do MORE cny shopping. At Seiyu, I saw this cool Kappa windbreaker for 39.90, and couldn't resist it, so there I went with my NETs. Looked at some shoes, only to realize that I really couldn't afford ANY of them, except the stupid New Balance ones, which, obviously, I ain't gonna buy even if I'm paid a million bucks to do so.

Soon, we left for Bugis Village, where I succumbed to the temptation of getting a pair of berms/3-quarters. Raymond got his pair of jeans at $18 from some shops on the 2nd storey. There were really soo many variety and shops there that we decided to skip some cuz we were juz too lazy to walk thru all of them.

Raymond wanted to go Sim Lim Square to look ard for nothing in particular, so I decided to take the chance to look ard to chk out the price of a digital camera as well as a wireless router/wireless usb adapter. On a few occasions, I got tempted to make purchases again, and Raymond had to LITERALLY stop me by pulling me away from the source of temptation..

In the evening, we started making our way back to Raymond's house as I wanted to duplicate some of his CDs to bring home, as well as install some stuff on his N-Gage. Slowly made my way home as I didn't wanna reach home too early.

Could barely manage to open my eyes when I heard my fone ring dis morning. It was Eddy, asking me if I wanted to go Changi Village for breakfast, since he'd be going home from there in the morning. I slacked for a while, den went to have Nasi Lemak wif him. We had 4 mugs of sugar cane juice in total. Choon Huat wasn't open until I finished my nasi lemak, and by then I was too full to eat anymore.

After breakfast we went ard to look at fishing equipment. I bought dis 3-piece telescope rod which feels extremely strong. We took a bus to Tampines cuz Eddy wanted to take the train home, and I bought some blank CDs from Challenger along the way. Initially I intended to see Eddy home and then go home and sleep, but halfway Laibao talked about some sales at Safe Superstore and so I headed to Laibao's hse after seeing Eddy home, leaving my rod and CDs at his house. Watched Laibao play Final Fantasy at his hse and had lunch there, and we went downstairs to Safe at ard 3.30.

Initially I was considering getting a microwave oven for my room, but decided that it would be too much madness to do so. Instead I juz looked around, while Laibao looked for his VCD player and settled the payment. We went home shortly after that. Guess I'm really too tired lately.. I took a bath immediately upon reaching home, ate some stuff, and dropped dead on my bed, only to wake up at 11pm.

Still so tired now though..

In the late morning, I burned some CD, then went to my cousin's house to help her reformat and restore her computer. Had lunch at her house.. My aunt's deep-fried prawn fritters rock~ Due to my inexperience in wireless LAN n stuff like that, it took me more than 3 hours to restore her computer. I realized that I was running late for my meet-out with my Poly Yr 3 classmates, so I left her to do some installation herself, and took a cab down to Clarke Quay to meet them.

The malay cab driver who drove me there is probably the best cab driver I've encountered so far. He was frenly, drove safely, and was damn easy-going. My final fare was $12.20, and he decided to charge me $12. Later on, he lowered the fare further down to $10. Too bad I forgot to take down his cab number so I could send compliments abt him to Comfort..

I actually got a little lost in Clarke Quay, but vaguely remembering the route I took with Laibao before, I managed to find my way to the MRT station, where we were supposed to meet. Baoqin, Betty, Shufen, Evelyn, Don, Aaric, Nik, Weisong and Ron turned up. Soon, everyone arrived, and we made our way to look for somewhere to have dinner at. Most of us haven't changed much, except for Aaric, who was in Armani hairstyle when he used to have long hair.

At first, we suggested going to RennThai for some Thai food, but the gals decided that it was too expensive there, so we changed our mind and went to some Indonesian seafood restaurant (forgot the name of the restaurant). We ordered some BBQ seafood combo set. The sample shown in the posters and menu didn't look very appetizing, but I found it delicious when I had the 1st bite.

After dinner, most of them decided to leave so we parted. Dunno if the outing can be considered a success, cuz we did get to meet after all, but didn't really get to tok much to one another, especially between the guys and the gals.

After everyone left, Ron n I looked for Andrew at the arcade, then Jayson came to pick us up, together with Ro. We went to some club at Queenstown to play billiard. We played 2 games each - Aearon vs Jayson, Roland vs Andrew vs me. I got trashed terribly on both games. The table juz seemed so damn big to me sia.. It was quite an interesting game with Ron n Andrew, and we had so much fun laughing n joking ard.

Jayson drove us to Ro's hse after the game, so Ro could get his car as Jayson had to leave. And to the usual place we went - the arcade at Marina Bay. Played ghost squad and I finally got promoted to Captain. Para Para n Percussion Freaks too, as usual. There was once a really fast song on Percussion Freaks where Ron, Ro n mi failed to complete, despite taking only 2 percussions each. This time, with Andrew the CYMBAL PRO taking the cymbals for us, we finally managed to clear that damn song.

At ard 12.15, Ro drove us to Bedok 85 market for supper. After eating and returning to the car, we realized that we juz kenna a summon. Those carpark attendants are scary, sneaking ard at nite to eat $30s from ppl.. We initially thought that it would be free parking on Sunday, onli to realized that it only starts from 7am. What crap..
