Knocked off from work relatively punctual today, den went home to bathe n eat dinner. Received an sms from Ro asking me if I wanna 'go out relax only'. Slacked ard until Ro reached my hse, as he was driving me.

We went to Pasir Ris park for some drinks at The Reef, Fisherman's Village.. Tried the Thai coconut there, and ordered some crispy seafood combo set. The proportion of the seafood ting wasn't really satisfactory though. Slacked there, den went to the beach to play ard. We were trying to time n see who could throw a stone further into the sea, or throw it up higher into the air.. Found a few weird bones which I believed to be snake skeletons.

Eventually, I suggested going to the huge 'spider-web' there, so we made our way to the playground, where we sort of played like kids on the swings and merry-go-rounds there, without any worries abt eyes looking at us. Played wif some obstacle course as well for the fun of it. There was this HUGE satellite-like merry-go-round which was tilted at an angle, and initially Ro n mi went on to it n Ron spun us round n round. After our turn Ro managed to trick Ron into getting on the ting, n he suddenly jumped off n we started spinning Ron round n round.. wahahha.. evil..

We got quite thirsty after all the 'streneous' exercise, so we got some drinks from the vending machine n juz sat down n talked cock.. Ron asked mi if I wanna disrupt from my NS dis August to go NUS.. Aniwae we left at ard 12+.

Today left mi wif lots of tings to ponder upon:

  • Still wondering if I shd still ask my dad for a car after getting my license, as I'm worried I may not be able to handle the maintenance fees n road tax.. For dat, I'm still considering a weekend car.
  • Go NUS wif Ron? As per what he has mentioned, dis coming batch will give us a gd chance as competition isn't as strong, and due to some other factors as well. Sure, I'd like to take a break from ns n go back to studying, and it's a great pleasure to be able to be studying together wif Ron again. But how abt my personal spending allowance, n my car? N another issue is.. Should I wait for Eddy instead, cuz dat's wad we initially planned for? I dunno. In the end we decided to pay for our reservation of our places first, den take more time to decide.

Went to Orchard lib wif Ron in the early afternoon cuz he wanted to look for some books there for my cousin. Wanted to find some books on game programming n design, but all the bloody books are on load. Borrowed a sea kayaking book n car book in the end.

I took Ron's bike to Simlim where we would be meeting Ro next, but we happened to meet him on the road along the way. After Ron n Ro parked their bikes, we went get the stuff for Ro's wireless LAN. Exceeded my original quotation, but Ro's dad was willing to pay more, so we went with it. Next, we went ard looking for aquarium shops to get some young terrapins for keeping n releasing when they are old enough. We tried Sungei Road, but didn't manage to find any terrapins. The only 2 aquarium shops there ran out of stock. In the end we went to some place near Ron's house to get them. We cleared one of the shops of terrapins, then went on to the next. I bought 4 in total, Ro bought 8. Aearon was buying some food back for his dad, so I took Ro's bike to his hse to help him fix up his wireless LAN. Having to carry lots of stuff by hand while riding on Ro's bike wasn't easy, but still managable.

I released my terrapins from the plastic bags upon reaching Ro's hse, and placed them into a tuppleware container instead. I took quite long to fix up the wireless LAN stuff, and it was about to reach 9 by the time I finished. We went back to Ron's hse to meet up wif him, den went to Tampines so Ron could pass the book he borrowed to my cousin. Went to Bedok 85 market for our dinner. The ba cho mee didn't really fill us up enough, so we ordered a spree of dimsum n a bowl of rice dumpling peanut soup as well. After dinner n some chatting, we made our way to ECP, juz sitting there n toking cock, n abt how hurtful it is when ur best buddy changes to a totally diff person, etc.. Stayed there till 12+, had some coconut juice n they sent mi home.

After being woken up by my sis for some boliao issues in the morning, had 8 hotdogs n 2 pieces of bread for breakfast. Dropped by CGH to visit my bro n grabbed another hotdog as well as a carrot cake from the cafe there. My sis drove me to my grandma's place to visit her, and suddenly I realized that I was running late for meeting Laibao.

Took a train from Serangoon all the way to Bugis, hoping dat I wouldn't run late. But there's some kids playing on the escalator n blocking the way, causing me to miss a train. "oh shit..", i thought as I looked at the LCD.. 6 mins to next train..

Laibao had gone up to Kinokuniya to look ard while waiting for my arrival, so I went up to look for him there after I reached Bugis. As Laibao didn't have any intentions to do any cny shopping, we went straight to Simlim as I wanted to check out some prices n wireless router stuff for Ro, as well as keep a lookout for any potential digital cameras.

Jayson drove Ron n Ro to pick me up at Simlim in the evening. We went to Victoria Street for meepok, den Jay drove us up Mt Faber to check out some place there. Went to Ron's hse to get Ro's bike which was parked there, den we made our way to Ro's hse to get his car as Jayson would be going off soon.

Slacked ard outside Ro's hse for a while before going to some arcade at Clarke Quay to pick Andrew up. We went to my hse and slacked ard there, as well as to get my terrapins which Ro n I were going to set free. Ron was knocked out by the Z monster on my bed, while Andrew was entertained by my Flame of Recca comics, and I was trying to demonstrate HL2 to Ro. We washed the tank before leaving, so my terrapins could at least spend their last moments wif mi in a clean tank.

Next, Ro drove us to some pond at ECP, so we could set the terrapins free. Ro n I took a terrapin each, and released them at the edge of the pond. The terrapins seemed quite lost in their new environment.. Hope they can adapt n survive there..

Our final destination for the day - the arcade at Marina Bay. Played the usual, and Ro drove mi home after dat.. Enjoyable day.
