Damn. Missed my bus stats lecture. Quite tired yesterday after reaching home so late after pool. Got to take a cab and rush down for my i Guides thingy.

Overall, I enjoy the i Guides thingy. Saw quite a few familiar faces, Jia yun, rouying and jia li. We played games and do some stupid cheers, yeah, cheers. Hate it. How I wish Han was there. Yeah, we did that "dance" too! I believe most of my poly coursemates will know what dance it is, suppose to dance with a female with you are a guy. There's so many dance, forgotten. wee~. Anyway, I danced with Jia Li as I still don't know my group members well.

After that, went to give out leftlets for the open house. My group was assigned to Dover MRT, a.k.a. Singapore Poly MRT. What the hell?!? GIVE OPEN HOUSE LEFTLET TO SINGAPORE POLY STUDENTS? that's nuts, totally. Reached there and there's not even a single soul, tell me, which idiot will go to school on a saturday evening?

We got transferred to Jurong East MRT, woah, finished my leftlets in less than 30 mins. Great teamwork in my group, we help the rest after we have finished. By now, I have know almost everyone in the group, especially, Lawance, "Cat", kai xin, "shoes", James, many la, lazy to list all.

We chatted in the MRT while on the way home, everyone was looking at this guy's N-gage, who belongs to our group. Not use to the tapping of keypad. We exchanged emails too, gonna add them to friendster tonight. :)

Got an oversized i Guides t shirt, give me a Large, eee. Goodness, this isn't the t shirt we suppose to wear on the actual day, else, I gonna kill myself. They will be giving us another 2 new T shirt, heh. Anyway, the design look quite cool, might wear it next week.
Yesterday (Friday) was kinda short. 3 hours of classes before I rush my last minute touch up of my resume to me submitted for grading. Overall, I think it's quite nice and formal, spent my precious sleeping time on it.

Went library to do my research on NMM. The library is a sleeping heaven! Yeah, I spent half an hour sleeping on the table after getting the book I wanted. I think there's a nice sofa on the 7th floor, will try sleeping there next time.

Actually wanted to go fetch Ricky at the airport, but when I called him while I was in the library, he has already reached home. Never mind, going out together at night anyway.

Shared a cab with this stranger while on my way to Ivan's house to reapir his computer. I was standing beside the main road, waiting for available cab, when this stranger went towards me and ask me whether want to share a cab and ask where am I going blah blah blah. He's in his late 20s with longer-than-average hair. So anyway, I shared the cab with him, he went to some condo to pass some stuff to an auntie before going to Ivan's house, I paid $5, the rest he will be paying. He told me it's the first time he's sharing a cab... hmmm....?

WOW! IVAN HOUSE IS GREAT! VERY BIG! VERY RICH! VERY blah blah blah. He stay in those 2 storey house, his room is kinda messy yea? Just like a typical male teenager's room. Manage to get his internet working, before rushing down to esplanade.

Met Ricky and my friends over at Esplanade. I am surprise that Jeremy has changed for the better. In the past, he was quite a hooligan, influenced by some outside friends I suppose. So there's Chin Kat, Ricky, Jimmy, Jeremy, Milton and me. We went to play pool and billiard after spending an hour over there. I play pool while majority of them play billiard. I didn't have my dinner until I reach home at 3.

Yeah, continue to my second entry (Above)
Rainy day, woah, almost got frozen in business accounting 2 tutorial. Took a cab to school today, think for every thursday and friday, got to take cab, early classes. damn.

That Daniel Man was damn funny, always making lame jokes in networked multimedia classes. Done my homework the day before, so kinda relax in class, surfing internet and doing my own personal stuff. Anyway, today was the first time I went for a meal with the guys in my class, we seldom get around, got to know more about the guys now.

The resume I done was quite acceptable, at least after all the effort I put in. I only slept 4 hours after completing it. Starting to like Madam Chan or Tan, whatever her name is. I think she's much better than that comm skills teacher in sem 1, I gonna place her in the same league as my macro econs teacher.

My interest in studies starting to come back on track. I usually feel lethargic during lectures and tutorials, now I am so exicted about going for lesson, maybe I going nuts, but this is the good sign.

Today was the funniest moment of my life. Well, apparently boss couldn't find his handphone, all of us thought someone stolen it. We went to seek help from the technical support officer, she suggested viewing the security cam to see what actually happened. We searched under the tables, but couldn't find it. Well, not until boss himself notice a shiny blue handphone behind his own table. I think he feel kinda embarrassed.

Yeah, Ricky touching down to Singapore tomorrow, think he's having his summer break from his Australia university. Going airport tomorrow after my lesson ends.

This weekend gonna be very busy. Saturday, bus stats lecture, i Guides. Sunday, Sharon birthday, going out with Ricky. Might be giving Sharon birthday party a miss, really wish to go, I just hope I can find with a perfect schedule.

So for the i Guides, we are suppose to give out leftlets? YUCKS! that's what I am informed when this guy from i Guides calls me. Suppose to report to this certain James. sigh.

January 29, 2004

Today PBL session (Problem Based Learning) isn't that bad afterall. Just having a hard time explaining the difference between cover letter and resume. The previous group told us they got scolded, but for us, nothing happen, perhaps we did our research well.

Went Tampines Mall with Sharon and Peter. Gee, that Peter, think he's kinda narrow minded, what's wrong with having a male friend who want to know him? To think that he's from a boys' school, heh. Sharon was applying for her broadband, but she don't know her home number, haha, thing got heated up when she talk with her brother, never ever disturb a girl. ahaha.

Got myself a UTP cable from Challenger. Read from somewhere in school about the library accepting UTP cable to hook up the laptop to the internet. Save some battery juice using the cable instead of wireless.

Dinner was great today! It's a "ren ru" celebration, my sister got "yu sheng" for us too. My second time in this week having "yu sheng". She got it from the "Soup Restaurant", the first "yu sheng" I ate is from Grand Copthene Hotel, heck, forgotten the name. Anyway, it's kinda same, not much of a diff, except the salmon from Soup Restaurant is kinda small.

Itchy finger. Trying to change my printer setting from my laptop. The printer is connected to my router and host computer, but kinda wierd, after uninstalling some stuff, the laptop can't change the properties anymore. Got to research on this later.

Now gonna do my NMM. zzz.

January 27, 2004

Yucks. The school upgraded their lab computers. Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading technology, DVDROM, new casing with USB front socket. Damn it, that where our school fees go. It's almost on par with my home computer! They even has 1GB memory! It's the same as mine! NOOOOO~~~!

So what's the use of a DVDROM in the lab? It's not like everyone is using a DVDRW at home for storage purpose or like a student will play DVD movies in school. They even got a NEC LCD screen, the school IT department must be nuts.

They selling off their old lab computers after the expensive upgrade. I was quite tempted to get a Pentium 1 to run my own Linux server. Paired with my router, I can do real time testing of my website and even host my own website! Never mind about the Pentium, they also selling Mac! It's kinda old, not even fit enough to run Mac OS10. Should I or should I not? $150 for the system and a monitor... hmmm....

DAMN IT! I got shortlisted for the school's i-Guides thingy. 6 of my friends signed up and I am the only one shortlisted! YUCKS! Now I got to attend their workshop outside school this saturday, straight after my Bus Stats lecture, they mentioned something about having your lunch before coming, GREAT! My lecture ends at 11, they meeting at 11. Think got to grab a red bull or something.

Went Tampines Mall to get a AC/DC adaptor, on the way there, saw Danny. Don't really know how he ended up in TP, the last time I heard about him, was in JC. We chatted quite awhile surprisingly. We didn't really talk that much due to an incident that happened between our friends. As I was in a different camp, we didn't talk much. Saw Shijia too at Tampines Mall, just said a hi before hurrying my way.

Psychology kinda hard to catch up, the lecturers and tutor are bombarding the students with so many information due to the short semester, that I can hardly breath. The lack of information also bother me. I don't really know how to write the journal, it's not like the tutor is giving much of a hint to go about it. I think the only thing they can do best is flooding my TP mailbox with junks.

Gonna go write my journal, or rather, figure how to write one. So long, goodbye.
My first time reaching school early! Wee~ Got time got breakfast at the Business canteen too. Well, saw Callen too. She usually doesn't frequent Business canteen, but her school's canteen got knock off.

It's strange that I didn't feel sleepy during the lectures. Still in my holiday mood? That lecturer's influence? Beats me. That Simon is real crappy, always giving that I will love you stuff, gee, someone of his age, yucks. Nevertheless, still enjoy his lecture, but think this is his last for the semester according to my list.

Not in my true self today. I was kinda talkative and hyperactive. Still in my festival mood, I suppose. Someone commented I look like a small boy, not once, but twice. Feeling happy? Yes, definitely. This is something fresh beside me looking strict.

Worn my new adidas shoes today. Not as comfortable as my previous Nike though. My Nike is those woven material, which allows air to enter, always feel great when the wind is against me, air conditioning for my shoes, yea?

Friend got new handphone, friend giving his handphone a spin in the washing machine, friend losing handphone. 3 incidents related to handphones. Wierd or what?

Finished my findings on comm skills, ready for the self directed learning tomorrow, just hope I can wake up as early as today. Doing my business accounting 2, doing it in advance. Hate to rush it on the day before the tutorial.

Boring, ta ta.

January 26, 2004

Due to my laziness during the festival period, I stopped updating for a while.

School is starting, 10 hours more to be precise. Well, Chinese New Year was fun, I just don't know how to describe it, it's the same old Chinese New Year feeling. Hong Baos (Red packets), quite a few, mostly from my family - my sisters and parents. Don't intend to spend the whole of it, maybe a hundred on my own personal wants and the rest, straight to my UOB account.

Sharon and the rest wanted to pay me a visit, but sadly, I was out of the house with my parents when she asks me. Never mind, there's always a next year, right? Besides, out of all my friends, only 1 or 2 manage to visit my house, not during the Chinese New Year though.

Manage to complete my Business Statistical assignment, not really a tough one, I just complete the online practice before doing it. Mathematics stuff, as dead as it is. Till now, I don't even know what in the world is standard deviation and varience, I just apply the formula and get the answer. It's like giving an answer without knowing what is it use for.

Starting to feel the urge now, it's a good sign. No more slacking, lock myself in my room and mug away. Going to create something decent for Networked Multimedia, maybe spending most of my time everyday on it. Back to the good ol' lugging of my laptop around the school, especially with my 4 hours break on thursday.

Something that bother me with my psychology. The project has been given to us, but till now, we have not even started. I can see Vanessa (that beautiful girl from mass comm, if you still don't know) trying hard to arrange for us to meet, but I think the other 2 guys not cooperating. I was so looking forward to psychology, but my group's lack of enthusiasm really bring down my morale.

Was feeling much better ever since that incident. I trying to prevent any form of communication with them, just to bring myself up. Just as Ivan said, being friendless as its advantage, you can focus more on more important stuff, for my case, my studies.

I foresee I will be spending quite a huge sum for this month, getting an amplifier for my headphone and getting a new headphone. The amplifier was custom make to my specification, so it's kinda expensive. While the headphone is Grado SR-80. It's relatively well known in the west, do take a visit to their website.

Got a scar on my forehead because of my headphone, good thing it's well hidden by my hair. Lazy to type how it happen, go figure. heh.

Auf Wiedersehen.
pssss.... it's german.

January 23, 2004

Had a dream today, it was particularly pleasing, but doubt what I dreamed will happen in reality.

Was forced out of my dream by my dad, it's lunch time and I still in bed. My relatives are here soon after lunch, nothing much to talk about it actually, think everyone still remain the same.

Going for house visiting tomorrow and also steamboat at home with my family. Really looking forward to it.


I had taken a step in, should I continue in or should I just withdraw from it? What will happen if I persist on? I know my course of history will change totally. A binary choice with one choice leading to a point of no return.

January 22, 2004

Going to keep this simple and short, too tried after spring cleaning.

Yesterday after school, went Isetan to do my last minute shopping, before that, I only have my Levis jeans and a billabong t shirt for the new year, manage to get a billabong shirt and another t shirt, spent quite a sum for that shirt. Ok, I admit, I am a billabong freak, but I know buts about surfing.

Got a can of paint after that. Spent like 6 hours, from 7pm to 1am painting my front poach. 2 coatings, not an easy task. After shower, went back to my computer for game, before I know it, I was sleeping on the sofa till 9 in the morning. My computer was still on with the sound blasting through the room. Well, at least I am still downloading some stuff, else, really wasting energy.

Switched off the computer and went back to the bed, decided not to go to schools afterall. why schools instead of school? Well, wanted to go back to my alma mater to meet my old friends especially Adeline, Cheng Cheng and Choon mei. And to attend that freaking lecture on a new year eve, it's networked multimedia, simple stuff like this, shouldn't be bothered with it.

Slept until the early afternoon, with millions of messages on my handphone. Erm, okie, I am crapping, it's like 10 messages. From people asking me whether am I in schools, or CNY greetings. My mom got me some lunch and went on the computer till the evening.

Watched that Feng Shui show on channel 8, not bad, actually I got the VCD, well, I am just bored after the reunion dinner. Reunion dinner was the usual stuff every year, roasted joint. duck, chicken, pig, cat, deer, dog...etc. hmm, ok, ignore the last few part.

Both my sisters are back. Got an early hong bao from one of them, wee, enough for me to get my handphone with few buck to top up.

Went for a ride with my parents, sister and her hubby back to their apartment. Along the way we went to the garden to get pussy willow (that's what they said, no funny idea) and some plants. Went Jalan Kayu to have our supper. It was like 2.30 when we sent them back and my dad went for a car wash, so by the time we reach home it was 3.

Packed my stuff, now going for a hour of gaming before sleeping. tata.

January 19, 2004

Not that late for today Micro Economics lecture, the cab went down from Old Tampines Road, which I believe took 5 min more. WHY CAN'T THEY GO BY PIE? zzz.

Today Micro Economics lecture was kinda easy, price ceiling, price floor blah blah blah. Went for lunch with Boss and complete our Business Stats together before our tutorial. Business Stats tutor rocks, I think she is the best among this sem tutor, she's completely opposite compared to that Bus Acc tutor. Instead of marking those who came in late, she just excuse them. That bus acc tutor, she shows no mercy. Bus Acc gonna be hell.

okie, it's kinda easy for Bus Stats, at least I can still manage it well. The tutor mistaken me for the brother of her student in Accounting and Finance. Gee, I feel so happy being able to complete all the quiz questions she gave. The same feeling I always felt when doing my Additional Mathematics.

One thing I hate about using the computer in the free access lab, peeping toms. I was searching something private when this guy beside me took a peep. I reacted kinda slow and I think he manage to steal a glance or two. tsk, why can't people mind their own business? What I hate most is invasion of privacy and people revealing my personal information and secret. If you know it, just keep it to yourself. I don't need someone going around revealing my stuff.



The mockery of friendship

As far as I am concern, I have always give my best in every friendships I held. I try to compromise no matter what, giving instead of receiving. When my friends need help, I will try to be there. Although I myself is not very well off, I treat my friends sometimes. I always take my mom's words to heart, "It's good to give rather than receive". I apply it the same to friendship.

Never once, in my lifetime, have I been make a fool by a stranger. A COMPLETE STRANGER. What did my nearby friends do? Nothing. They just allows the incident to take place. Deep inside, I yearned to cry. Never once, in my encounter with a stranger be that foul. That stranger is a luantic, his brother is, so is he. I know his brother, during the era of my secondary school. He has been transfered out due to his luantic behaviour, which I should not go on any further.

So when the incident was ongoing, what did my friends do? They just treat it as nothing is going on, and continue their activity. I will not have blame them if they do not know him, but the cruelty of fact, ALL OF MY FRIENDS KNOW HIM. So I was there, sitting like a fool, bombarded like a sitting duck. All the while, they know what is going on and refuse to act.

Only when he left, then one of my friends start to talk to me, yes, it is at this moment that he revealed that everyone of them know him, but not one of them tell me about it. At this moment, my chest start to rose and I clutch my hands. I feel like bursting it all out, but I hold my peace. I just ask him to shut up. This isn't the worse I can do, I swear.

I felt complied to join them for dinner, I just order my food and continue eating, ignoring them. I left soon after the dinner, without them. Along the way home, I was crying, alone. Never once has my friendship goes so wrong. I have my fair share of fair weather friends and a few which I can depend on when I am down. The mockery of it all, they are those I treat, as a friends which I can depend on.

We have go through many storms together, but this is the last straw. I can forget, but I can't forgive.

From today onward, I shall take friendship like a pinch of salt, I have been left disappointed for once too many.

Signed off.

Went to return my sister's handphone in the afternoon. My brother in law just inspect the damage before saying it's okay and under warranty. Went Funan - Challenger to shop around since I am meeting Ronald at 5.

On my wayto Sim Lim to meet Ronald, 2 japanese girls came towards me and ask me for the nearest shopping centre. Directed them to Raffles City before continuing my journey to Sim Lim.

That Ronald, spent his pay on a discman, not bad for the design, but still prefer my iRiver MP3 discman.

So Ronald, Meiling and me went Orchard to shop for our new year clothings. Got a new cologne to replace my existing one. It's those woody smell and damn, it doesn't come cheap, cost as much as my levis jeans. Got to save up.

Window shop in Lucky Plaza and discovered thay are selling the cologne $4 cheaper. -_-

Went for dinner at Ajisan (AGAIN!). The 2 of them just couldn't agree on a place to eat so the agree on Ajisan. Had Spicy cold raman, still prefer the tom yum raman.

Got the Nike T Shirt I wanted, as I was saying, it's those special fabric, supposedly to keep your skin cool and keep the water out or something. Both of them got their own stuff before we went Taka and Wisma to shop.

Went home at around 10pm and the then I remembered I haven't complete my Business Stat tutorial.

ta ta.

January 18, 2004

This afternoon, was rushing for my appointment, waiting for a cab. Then, this old granny with her son i suppose, came along. I always have special feeling towards old granny, because I didn't cherish my grandmother when she passed away. Being young, I didn't talk more with her, until her senile condition become worse and she couldn't recognise me. Anyway, I stopped the cab and direct it to them, the son was quite grateful to me, saying thanks and waving to me. I waited another 5 minutes, no cab still, decided to forget about it and go home.

All my sisters were back today. Going out to visit their nanny before going shopping, being bored without any programme, decided to tag along. All my sisters are taken care since young by a nanny by the name of ah xiang, okie, not too sure about the hanyupinyin, but it gone something like that. I was the exception, I was taken care by my mom without any nanny, prehaps I am too sickly when young, contacting several fatal diseases when I was young.

The granddaughter of my sisters' nanny is beautiful! She has small dark eyes with silky smooth black hair. She's attending primary school soon.

Went shopping with my sisters in the late evening after the visit. Went Isatan first. I was alone, well, couldn't expect me to look at girls' clothings right? Nothing interesting over there. Went Ajisan for dinner later, had Tom yum raman with soft shell crab, mine soup was the tastier among my sisters, so everyone was like drinking my soup. The soft shell crab is horrible, I was wondering whether am I eating floor or crab, the crab is like, so little, overpowered by the floor coating. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourseleves, spending 1 hour over there.

Far East Plaza was next, there's this Nike T shirt that got my attention, it's those with special material, keep your skin cool and waterproof thingy, going to get it tomorrow, don't want to disturb my sisters' shopping. After they got their stuff, we went to Isatan market to get new year goodies, egg roll and stuff.

My sister drove us home, Yishun followed by Compassvale and then my house. My sister parked at the front gate of my house, I was closing the car door, when *plank!*. I look around, it's my sister's handphone. Think she must have dropped it when leaving the car, okie, I know I am doomed. The bottom of the LCD is like rainbow color, while it's still functioing well. Called my sister up and informed her of the bad news, sigh. She's not angry or what, I just tell her I will bring it to her tomorrow after church service.

My dad came back soon after, my sister was still at home then. My dad asked her whether she want to try the new car, so she took me for a joy ride, well she commented that the steering is heavy (which is a good thing), the ride is smooth, engine is quiet, soundproofing is good. Heh.

Going orchard and also pass my sister her handphone tomorrow. Hope her husband won't murder me or something.

January 16, 2004

Do I sound wierd when speaking chinese? Sharon isn't the first one to say that. I thought I am just speaking as per normal. I hope people won't group me under "banana".

Oh yeah, Gearth was telling me that I am so different from the first impression I gave him. Just like I put beside my blog, I can be serious when the needs arise, but usually I just joke around with my friends.

Psychology lecture bored me to sleep today. Today topic isn't interesting at all, or maybe I am just too tired. I tried to keep myself awake, for this lecturer who so happen to be my tutor, Mr. Neufeld will shoot questions to those who is not paying attention. Anyway, I think I going to flunk badly for the 2nd quiz, I didn't pay much attention, got mix up with cognitive social learning and classical conditioning. Now can someone tell me how to tell the differences between neg/pos reward and ned/pos punishment in operant conditioning? zzz.

WEE~!~! My dad come and fetch me after lecture today. The Altis is GREAT! I couldn't even recognise it at first, it's silver, my dad previous car is maroon in color. It has mp3 player inside the car, rear front disc brakes, blah blah blah. I WANT TO GET MY LICENCE TO DRIVE THIS BABY!

After dinner, went shopping with my parents, my dad was so excited with the new car, trying out the features and stuff. This is like his *counting* 8th car already? We bought some chinese new year goodies at the supermarket. Vanessa message me to email her my timetable to plan the stuff for psychology. Just a little introduction, Vanessa is a babe studying in School of Business - Mass Comm. I think she look pretty, well, I am not the only one saying that.

Went for supper at old airport market. Misses the food over there, we had wanton mee at $2 each and a plate of oysters with egg. It's superb!

Now gonna rush my econ homework (WITHOUT ANY NOTES TO HELP ME) before tucking in early to wake up for my early lecture. zz.

January 15, 2004

AGGRH, stupid driver. Thought I will be in time for school taking a cab from my house. He asked TPE or PIE, I just replied whatever, now I really wish I said PIE instead.

I don't know where he go, I was reading my psychology notes with the thought that I will be reaching there on time, when I raise my head from my notes, I only see the sign "Pasir Ris Ave 10" or whatever ave/drive it is. It's like 5 min more before my lesson starts and ending up in Pasir Ris isn't a great idea. Reached school at 9.02+ and it costs me $11. It's like $5 more from my usual ride on the PIE. Business Accounting teacher sucks, not much of a great first impression, just dislike her, she look so much like a primary school teacher. Great, marked late for my first BA tutorial, I just hate morning tutorials and lectures! She should have just let me off with a warning since this is the first lesson of the day. How I miss Mrs/Madam Tiong. zzz.

Anyway, I was kinda stoned during the lesson, constantly popping sweet to keep myself alive. There's this girl who was late for the lesson, her outfit is simply... outrageous. She was wearing a body hugging jeans, revealing her tatto on her torso and butt. At first she not sure whether she in the right class, ignoring the teacher presence and seeking help from a friend who so happen to be my team mate for comm skills 2. The teacher asked does she has a jacket, think because she's revealing too much flesh.

Enough of that girl, yucks, look so "lian-like". I think I going to flunk my Business Accounting 2 for this semester, I just don't like the teacher, she ought to be teaching in a primary school. Though I welcome the idea of checking whether you done your homework, but having missed the first lecture and couldn't understand how to start off for the 3rd question (even after Boss spent a night teaching me), showing her a half filled foolscape isn't my style.

Yesterday was the seed of the beginning of my busy schooldays. Rushing my psychology and business accouinting 2 and not fully completed either one. Just not in the best form for the last 2 weeks, slacking around. Still remember last semester, reach home, shower, eat and lock myself in the room mugging away. From 6pm to 2am, reading my notes, doing my tutorials and projects. Now? 6pm - 2am, non stop slacking. Better rid myself out of this habit, else gonna fail so badly.

Typing my blog in the lab now, at the same time, trying to figure how to write my psychology journal. Lesson starting in 50min more, sigh. Looking forward to my dad's new car later after my psychology lecture. He's going to collect it later in the evening, asked a free ride home from him, hoping he can make it.

Back in the lab after my psychology. Jesslyn and Tian Nee joined me in the lab after a while. They were like "Brandon, cheat us huh?" I didn't know what I did to them, I always been a loyal and trustworthly friend to them, so saddening to hear them say that. So auntie 1 they all. yucks. I sense a conspiracy going on somewhere, stupid aunties. :X Oh great, Ivan kept my econs note for 2 days already. Is it going to keep it till the end of the semester?

Yeah, my dad fetching me later in his new car, Altis. ho ho ho, so looking forward to the end of my lecture. Will update again tonight. ta ta.

January 14, 2004

Network Multimedia lecture was fun today, though it kinda related to Computer Systems.

Went Tampines Mall with Ronald, Meiling and Gerath today. Wanted to get the Levis 506, but can't make up my mind on which design to get, so most likely will be going back again on Friday to get it. Went Acrade to play Daytona with them, Gerath is great, getting the 1st position everytime, got 2nd for 2 games. :(

Went separate way after that, went to settle some stuff, while Ronald went to get back to get his jeans for alteration. The alteration doesn't come cheap, $12 per pair. Just because of the special cutting of the engineered jeans, darn.

Went Carrefour to get my notepad for my Psychology. Also manged to get the HP Printing paper, wee.

Might be skipping the I Guides training this saturday, couldn't go due to a commitment. The i Guides stuff gonna take the whole day, from 8 to 6, is this crazy? yucks

Gonna rush my BA stuff now. :(
Went Tampines Mall to alter my Levis Engineered jeans, guess what? They do provide alteration service, but what they do is cut straight and not the special cutting which the engineered jeans has. Was deciding whether should I go for a normal straight cut or just find outside alteration service. Come to think of it, I spent so much for a engineered jeans, if the design isn't there, I might as well get the 506 variety or maybe the 501 reborn?

Ronald was with me, he also got the same pair of jeans, went for lunch before going to school together.

Networked Multimedia is interesting today. I just like practical stuff, creating website instead of stuffing my brain with relative distribution, demand and supply and balance sheet. Got a hard time plugging my thumb drive in the computer chasis, the school should provide a USB extension wire, zzz. Selected "London @ Leisure" for my website theme, I just hope I can get creative on this topic and create a splendid website. Afterall, I got some experience on London and UK.

After school, went hunting for alteration service. My dad told me there's quite a few shops over at Serangoon Central. Not quite familiar with this area, but managed to find 5 shops providing such service. Guess what? All give the same reply, you can only collect after chinese new year. After they saw the complex design of the Engineered jeans, most of them shake their head. This is dumb, the distributor of Levis don't provide the alteration for engineered? Great, quality service. zzz.

This is great! No communication skills tomorrow, just come for my networked multimedia and I am a free man! Going to get a pair of 506 Levis.

Reached home dead tired after the hunting. My mom asked me to join her for shopping at Chinatown. sigh. We shopped for new year goods and bought sliced pork. It's not from that famous shop which I always queue for my family each year. Nevertheless, I going down again this friday for my photography shooting and queue up for the sliced pork from that famous shop (Lim Zhi Yuan?).

Ripped the songs from the 12 girls band DVD. Going to burn it later on my CDRW and listen it tomorrow, yeah.

January 12, 2004

Wierd. My mom asked me whether do I want to dye or highlight my hair. Considering whether should I highlight. However, it's proven scientifically that the chemicals in hair dye causes cancer, sometimes when I see my friends with their head full of brown or colored hair, I don't know whether should I feel sorry for them. Maybe I am paranoid, but it's better to play safe than sorry.

Starting to doubt whether can I cope with the new semester. Micro Economics was fine, I enjoy networked multimedia, but when it comes to Business Accounting 2 and Business Statistics, I am totally dumbfounded.

Surprising to see Tian Nee with her dyed hair, haha, should I feel sad for her? Anyway, the dyed hair really spoil her innocent look, it create a aura of rebellious in her, emitting a counterculture feeling. Think have to edit my testimonial on her, on that innocent looking part.

During the lecture, we were given a presentation on the subjects we can choose in year 2. Well, I like law, so of course, the application of Law for IT professional interests me the most.

Well, clicked along quite well with Gearth (or Gareth?). We talked quite a lot of stuff during lesson and on the bus, and the fact that I only know him for only 2 days really surprise me. Ronald was like talking a whole load of bullshit on the bus with him.

Bought a photo editing software at Challenger. Impulsive buying, I says. I was looking at the Crumpler Crippy Duck laptop bag. It's design is quite nice. I simply love Crumpler bags, mine black Crumpler wennie served me well.

Went to Isatan to ask whether the Levis jeans I bought can be tailored, yeah, the answer is YES! Just bring it to Levis shop with the receipt and vola! Might be getting another pair of Levis 505 or 502 tomorrow. Heh.

Overslept on the bus. Walked home since it was only 1 stop away. So dead tired after a long day today. Still have to complete my Networked Multimedia later. sigh.
Couldn't complete my Business Stats tutorial, haven't got the work, guess I will just have to take a look at my friend's work.

Well, sunday as usual, most people already know that sunday is my unofficial family day. My sisters are back as usual. Hey, one of my sister got us the smiling orchid brand pineapple tarts. We always have that for every chinese new year and it's quite expensive. Her brother-in-law passed me the latest version of Adobe Photoshop CS. Gonna upgrade my old version later.

My other sister got my mom a new handphone, to replace her first generation model. Her husband going USA tonight for his business trip, 9pm. Will be back before the Chinese New Year. Hardly got a chance to see him around, in a year, he can like travel once monthly.

Went marketing with my mom, got those electric air refresher, it's peppermint oil, suppose to claim your mind and stuff like this.

Going to tuck in early, lecture at 10, going to bring my laptop along to get my Networked Multimedia project done before tuesday.

tata.

January 10, 2004

Went back school today. Most of the teachers left, well, at least I still know Mrs. Lim from my CCA. My CCA, well, I guess the tradition will continue on, fewer new members. Gee, the chairman and the vice chairman are a couple, strange or what? LOL. Met the ex TA which everyone was so crazy about, his name is Eric. Introduced myself to him, doubt he know me, since he joined the school after I left as a vice chairman. Boring speech as usual by the principal, I guess the performance are the only event which I enjoy most. Looking at the choir performing bring back fond memories of the time when I performed.

On the bus to sim lim square, met someone who sound and look like Michell. I was shocked when I hear that voice on the bus, when I turn around, oh my god, a exact clone of michell. scary isn't it?

Went to scout for Zip Disk, cheapest which I can find is $13.50. Guess I will give up on getting a zip Drive, will be getting a new USB Thumb drive instead. The SanDisk 128MB USB2.0 costing $108 looks great. Got myself the 12 girls band DVD today.

I think I just look so stupid just now. Well doing my work, I actually doze off in front of the computer and dropped my wireless mouse. Good thing it's still working, else I will have to pay for it.

Will update the background music soon. do check it in a couple of days.

January 09, 2004

AGGRH. Couldn't make it for business accounting lecture. When I woke up, it's like one hour passed the lecture, goodness, I tried to sleep early, but in the end, still didn't make it. I just hate 8am lesson!

Indo-chinese girls are beautiful. Why do I say that? Hmmm... During one of my trip to Malaysia (Not Penang), I notice this group of indo-chinese people and I just couldn't stop myself from staring at the girls. My friend, Ricky, who is now studying in Perth told me a great deal about them. He's an indonesian afterall. Now my class, there's this indo-chinese girl, woah, I think she's a beauty. Well, I am not the only one making that statement, my friends said that too. :)

Went shopping at Queenway Shopping Centre today with Ronald. We were scouting for shoes and clothing, for the chinese new year. Well, Ronald got his shoes first, a Adidas White shoes with red velcro strip. It look kinda nice, but think it doesn't suit me. I am quite choosey when it comes to shoes, my dad gave up on me many years ago, I simply can't make up my mind on which design. So I spent about an hour and a half before deciding on a adidas shoes. It's those classic design, with the 3 stripes, I know it's kinda common, but it is the best among the rest. The design name is Cntry Rip 3D. The uncle gave me a discount since my friend bought his shoes from the uncle shoes. Cost me a hundred. After that, we bought a t shirt each. Mine is billabong. Meiling joined us after awhile later. She bought hers from the same shop too. Well, discount for her again. :p

We took a cab back to meiling house, actually she wanted to share a cab, so she forced us to share a cab with her. Ronald and I took a bus from her house down to Parkway Parade. Nothing much, just walk around having our dinner.

Going to sleep early tonight. Going back to my alma mater for CCA orientation. Doubt any of the students will remember me, almost all of my friends left the school already. Well, maybe just have a chat with the teachers. :)

ta ta.
Talked to my mom on the zip drive this morning. She isn't that happy that I might be getting a second hand zip drive which going to set me off by $100. She wants me to get a new zip drive cos' she said since I might be using it for the term of my study in Teamsek Polytechnic, why not get a new one?

My mom is that kind of person which would rather spend more than save if the quality of the product is compromised.

Now here comes the hard part, get a new zip drive or get a second hand? The amount I saved from it will be less than a hundred, like $70+.

My longest day in school today. 4 hours of break, due to my psychology tutorial and lecture today. After lunch with han and sharon, went to my psychology class. I was early, don't wanna spend time walking the whole floor looking for the room. Hey guess what, this guy, Gerald is from my class. I was inside the room looking for seat when I felt a hand touching me, oh yeah, that's him. He said something like are you from the same class as me and stuff like this. Actually, I have a slight impression of him after my friend who was from the same class as him told me about him. He's a nice guy, very friendly. If it was for me, I will have just keep my cool.

Psychology was fun, but its those type of wordy stuff which you have to memorize. But my interest is there, just hope I can substain it throughout the semester. My tutor is Mr. Nurfield Jeff. He's a nice tutor, from Canada. Think he married a local and settled down in Singapore. He shown us photos of his wife, children and him. Also, just find out the bookshop conned me into buying the journal book which is not necessary.

Parted way with Gerald as he is going Tampines to meet his friend. Well for me, make my way to photocopy shop to get the student manual for psychology. So happen that Jesslyn and Tian Nee were in his school at the canteen, they called me up and ask me to join them. oh yeah, they were claiming they waited in school specially for me, haha. how true will that be? :p

Went Tampines Mall after parting with them at the bus stop. Just wanna take a look at the price of zip drive and decide whether should I buy it or not. I spent like 30 min over there, looking at computer stuff. Just remembered my printing paper is running low on stock, but just can't that particular brand which I preferred. It's Hewlett Packard Everyday paper. It's slightly thicker than other brand, good quality stuff.

Went back Temasek Polytechnic for my 6-7 psychology lecture. Waited outside for Gerald, but at the last 5 min, he still haven't turn up, so decided to enter myself. The lecture halls of engineering block is so steep, 1 fall and I bet you will end up in hospital. Took a seat at the back row. As the lecturer is introducing the course, Gerald turn up. I make some noise for his attention, but think he's busy finding a seat, ended up me going to the front row to join him, at least, there's someone to talk with.

Well, we exchanged contact number at the end of the lecture and even took bus together with his friend. Not bad, at least someone I know in the psychology subject. Else, thursday tutorial and lecture is going to be so dead.

Collect my photos from the Penang trip at the interchange. Wow, it's nice. Always love using the Fujifilm Press 800 series. Although it set me off at almost double the price of normal film, I am always happy with the end result. Going to show it to Ronald and Meiling tomorrow.

My dad's Altis is ready for registration, looking forward to driving it after getting my licence. Which will still be a long way to go.

Ta ta, going for my shower.

P.S. I am going to scout for cheap Iomega 100MB Zip Disk on saturday. Might be $3 cheaper than what the school is selling. If you are interested, do inform me.

January 07, 2004

Isn't a great way to start the day with. Spilled a bottle of apple juice on my jeans while waiting for Boss. He asked me to wait for him to enter the lecture hall together, guess what, we are like 5 min late and when I saw him apporaching, he was walking in a relax manner.

Starting to like Networked Multimedia (NMM). Been always wanted to learn graphics designing, guess we will be learning that with Macromedia Fireworks. During Comm skills, my group has to brainstormed on a problem, well, we have fun doing that and also chatted. Surprising to hear Xiaowan (new classmate) saying that I look young, though I always thought I look old and stern.

Today really isn't my day. Great, so using a handkerchief is sissy? If you think it's a yes, I can only tell you that, you have a immature mentality and still living in a world of your own. Yes, you seldom see teens in Singapore using handkerchief and to make that kind of delusion means you have never been aboard nor read about the western lifestyle. IT IS SO COMMON TO USE A HANDKERCHIEF. Well, my friend just irritated me with this kind of thought and I am not really happy about it. My dad use a handkerchief too, so by implying that I am a sissy, is he trying to imply that my dad is one too? Guess what? He apologized, stating that its a lame attempt to crack a joke. Thanks but no thanks, it's not funny.

To add oil to fire, another this female friend of mine, added that you can get infection from using handkerchief. Not that kind of statement which I expect from a life science student who so happen to be attending a lecture on infections. So she said you can get infected with hepatitis using handkerchief. First of all, does she actually know how does one get infected with hepatits? Even though I am not a doctor nor a medical student, I know that hepatitis is passed from eating seafood that is infected or through infected blood transfusion. You know, when she said that, I feel so much like laughing at her, but I doubt she will understand why I am laughing.

The final straw, someone trying to act smart and funny. She added some lame comment and I already trying not to blow my top, I was biting my lip, trying not to burst out, but I couldn't control anymore. Yep, I scolded her, everyone was stunned. Frankly speaking, I have kept my cool since entering polytechnic, they joke, I try to laugh, they insult, I just laugh along. BUT, as long as it involve my family (my dad uses a handkerchief), I will rather forsake the friendship then allow them to make a joke out of my family.

Enough of my woes. sigh.

Went Challenger and decided to invest in a Iomega zip disk, costing me $15. yucks, 100MB costing me $15? I can get a 750MB CDRW at only $2.50. Also got a 8MB thumbdrive at $14, with purchase of the zip disk. Now, should I buy the drive? It will set me off by $170. sigh, why don't the school install CDRW Drive?

Went for Network Multimedia with Han and Sharon today. It's wierd inside a computer lab with only 2 people you know. Multimedia Multimedia is all about HTML codes and perhaps, a little of Javascript. Well, I trained myself in HTML codes a few years back then before I started to use HTML authoring program. Today lab taught only some basic HTML codes, to me, HTML codes is nothing hard to understand, it is the application of it in your website that is the hard part.

Comm skills tutorial. The teacher is much much much..... better than that Mrs. Cheng. At least, for the first week. Now I am in Sharon group with Han and this girl called Xiaowan. So this will be our PBL (Problem based learning). Not bad for comm skills 2, we will only be meeting the teacher for less than 2 hours per week. We had quite a day setting our group's rules.

Met Ron after that. Collecting the T shirt I ordered from him, we went for a drink at Business Canteen before I saw Ivan being alone. Ron is going for his culture and expression CDS while Ivan going for his psychology. Heard from Ivan that today lecture isn't a full house, might be joining his lecture instead.

Bought a levis jeans today with Ronald. It's the engineered jeans series. Think it doesn't look good on me, kinda baggy, sigh. Only find out when I got back home, don't wanna waste time trying over there.

We went back Temasek Polytechnic just to meet Meiling, Su Cheng and Xian Zhi. They are going Parkway, so we decided to tag along. Over there, we went about our business, meiling checking out her aircon while I just look around. Bought the cup which my dad smashed a few weeks ago from Cargo. Think they decreased the price, selling at $1+ now, still remember it cost $3 that time.

Boring night. Going to read my Psychology textbook. ta ta.

January 06, 2004

Oh boy, how exciting am I, looking forward to my first psychology lesson. Email that Dr. Tay yesterday, he replied today stating that I can't change or jump lecture in a unfamiliar manner, saying other student might not have a seat due to my presence. Oh yeah, can't he just say a simple No, you can't change lecture instead of having so much BS?

Done a search on psychology, seems that there is a examination to get you qualified, it's AQA A, Assessment and Qualifications Alliance A level. If possible, I hope I can take this independently. But what I learning in Temasek Polytechnic isn't the whole of the AQA AS examable subjects, there's altruism, aggression bio-rhythms, sleep, dreaming and media which is not included. The second route to getting recognised for my knowledge in psychology is the IB (International Baccalaureate), which might be considered if I am taking it prior to my entrance to university.

Another target in life. tata, going to have lunch now before going school.
First day of school, left my house with my crisp clean crumpler wennie (that's my bag, if you are wondering). Got my mom to wash it for me the day before, now it smells great!

Took a cab to Toyota showroom to settle the documents once and for all, been putting this on hold for awhile. Over there, called the salesman on his mobile and he came down from his office and look through. Think there's one part signed wrongly, he was like cursing away, oh shit and stuff like this. I was like, hey, I am the customer?!? Anyway, he said if there's any problem he will send someone over to my house to sign.

Took a cab again to school. The taxi driver was in a explorer kind of mood, he wanted to try the new express route to my school. Since I still have 30min left, I just go ahead and make him happy. Wow, it's kinda fast, must make my dad to go that route too.

Met Nad, Boss, Peter, James and people outside the lecture hall. They were like, wow, you are still the same. Then Peter added something like, hey he never wear another T shirt inside. LOL, totally speechless. Micro econs seem to be the same as Macro econs except for some additional details. I just hope I can cope this the same as macro econs. Sup paper is not an option.

4 hours of break, yucks. Went for lunch with Jess and group. No chance to meet any of my new classmates as only having 2 lectures today. Went library to take a nap after that. The place is cosy and nice for sleeping, but the seat isn't. I can't rest my neck properly and the seat just isn't soft enough. Anyway, manage to fall asleep for a couple of min before Jess leave us for her lesson.

Jess got Japanese for her CDS, which is totally unfair, AGGRH. Why couldn't they let me take French? Never mind, next sem no matter what, I going to appeal until I got french.

Bus Stats is extremely BORING! I just hate mathematics stuff even though my maths got the highest among my O level subjects and taking my Additional Mathematics background, someone like me should have love this subject totally. I just find the whole stuff plain boring, my worse topic in mathematics is Frequency distribution, and this is my first topic in Bus stats. Wow, am I going to flunk or what?

Went marketing with Ronald and Su Cheng after the whole boring lecture. Bought some nuts and shampoo, nothing else.

Sigh, 2 hrs of comm skill tomorrow. Going to be so dead.

Guess I just go read up on my notes now. ta ta.

January 05, 2004

Wow, my brother-in-law passed his driving test at first attempt. I just hope I won't be flunking my final theory once I am able to take it.

Sunny Sunday, with the passing of Christmas and the approaching of Chinese New Year, it seems that the weather is getting hotter day by day. Gee, another exciting holiday to look forward to. I am so looking forward to Chinese New Year goodies. My parents always drive up to Malaysia to get cookies from Seasons. It's a shop which you can't find in Singapore and the quality is much better, at least for me. I remember last year helping my friend to get 1 can of some new year cookies, she was complaining how average it is.

Sisters and brother-in-law are back today. one of my sister getting the yet to be release iPod (MP3 Player). Might be getting one if it's cheap.

School opening tomorrow, in fact, it has already opened when I typed this, it's way over 12. Going to rush to the car showroom to hand the documents to that salesman and pay him the deposit. Still got a lecture to rush at 10 AM. Just hope I won't be late for my first day of school. *Grin* My dad gave me 2 cheques, signed but the payee and amount is empty. Well, I guess my dad trusted me, else he won't have gave me 2 empty cheques.

okie, going to sleep.

January 04, 2004

Went shopping alone. Went Suntec and got the "12 Girls Band" CD, it's dirt cheap for a HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital), at the price of $9.90. Nothing much to shop over there, my sole intention of going to Carrefour is just to get the disc, heh.

Bugis was next. Got some files, school opening, going to store my notes and stuff. It was already 4 in the afternoon and realize that I didn't have my lunch yet! Survived the whole afternoon walking around shopping centres on an empty stomach. Grabbed my lunch over at one of the jap fast food restaurant before continuing my shopping. I was walking when I start feeling dizzy, think must be the empty stomach just now, no choice, took a bus and went home.

Just watched a late night or rather, morning movie on channel 8 jusr now. The story is very touching and heartwarming. I was crying when the movie ended. It's about how this guy who gave up his rich family for the girl he liked and gaving hope even when everything was against him, he couldn't find a job after graduating and being defeated in court by his father and brother. The wife, was diagnosed with lung cancer due to second hand smoke from the husband smoking habit. She was given 3 months to live but she wanted to see through her husband succeeding in his career and bringing up her 4 children. She did not tell her husband so as not to bring him any trouble in bringing up the family. In the end, she manage to live beyond the 3 months, but in the 3rd year, her cancer was at the terminal stage. Ironically, his husband was also diagnosed with lung cancer after discovering his wife illness. The thought of committing suicide was in the husband's mind, but the wife make him promise her not to give up his life as she don't want the children to be orphans as she was a orphan too. Alas, the wife passed away and the husband manage to get his lung cancer cured. The ending is very saddening. I cried throughout the whole show.

Reality is cruel. sigh.

January 03, 2004

Went Sim Lim Square with Meiling and Ronald today. Suppose to shop for Chinese New Year clothes before the school term starts. Ronald went to collect his pay, while Meiling was looking at the pricelist, she is going to build a new computer. Over there, was very much tempted to get the "12 girls" DVD. It's a live musical performance by this 12 girls, playing on their musical instruments. Well, in the end, decided not to get it for the moment.

After dinner at the nearby market, we walked to Pennisular to take a look at shoes. We got stopped by this indian, who asked to translate for him in chinese to this chinese guy. It's about this chinese guy, bringing his HiFi for repair, but the indian wanted to tell him that he need to bring back to the distributor or wait for 2 weeks for them to send it back. In the end, the chinese manage to understand what we trying to say.

Bought Norah Jones album, so excited to listen to it once I am home. We went Suntec after taking those feeder bus from city hall MRT. Well, met Kenny there. He was with this girl which he denied when I asked him whether is it his girlfriend. Gee... look like someone isn't that honest here. heh. We walked around Suntec, looking at clothing when Kenny wanted to go City Link to get those aromatic oil from Body Shop. Well, couldn't get what he wants over there, ended up at the Raffles City Body Shop that he settled for another type. It's oceanic something. Smells great! Over there, that girl, caiyun(?) wanted to go home, think it's kinda late for her. We wanted to go some cafe to settle down, but she don't wish to go. I expected Kenny to send her home, oh well, he bid her farewell and joined Ronald, Meiling and me. Kenny was so crazy, LOL. He's spotting gay couples and telling us how to spot one. Well for the record, he's not gay. Just that both of us have a close friend that is one. Not to mention name, yea? Anyway, we don't discriminate against homosexuals, I know a couple of such friends too.

So we set off to Siglap (or Singlap?). They wanna go Coffee Bean, but it so happen that it was full house for Coffee Bean and all nearby cafes. Hey, passed Simply Thai, remembered Chris was working there. Didn't manage to see him there, except for 2 staffs doing the closing.

We walked straight down from Siglap Shopping Centre and found a table at "The Cheesecake Cafe". The menu comes in the form of a CD Cover, where you open it to look at the stuff they are selling, kinda cool eh? So I ordered Gourmet Coffee and Homemade Cheesecake with peach. Meiling ordered American cheesecake and ice chocolate, Ronald, iced tea and lastly, Kenny, Cold Milk (What the hell, drinking milk at a cafe?!?) and wedges to share with us. Well, mine cheesecake isn't as good as Meiling, it's those sticky type, not to my liking. We were so crazy over there, laughing so loudly, chatting about stuff. Kenny going to organise a Kyat outing next friday at Sentosa. Going to make that day free for this.

Parted way with Kenny at 0015. YEAH, and we missed the last bus. Lucky Kenny, zzz, he's staying nearby. So we walked to Parkway Parade and got my dad to fetch us home. Tsk, feel bad always asking my dad to fetch me home. The day is gonna change when I got my driving licence.

Gonna sleep, kinda late now. ta ta.

January 02, 2004

Surprising to wake up so early even though I came back at the wee hour of the morning. Well, New Year was boring. Spent the evening watching Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring DVD on my computer.

Anyway, wrote my reflection for year 2003 and my new year resolution. Somehow, reminds me of english lesson, being force by the teacher to write such stuff. Anyway, let's just continue my secondary school tradition.

January 01, 2004

Went to fix Ronald's computer on the New Year eve. Ever since he got his internet, his computer has been infected with trojan horse and stuff. Couldn't really help much, I thought it's more of a virus thing, so bought my antivirus disc along, but now it seems to be more of those popup software which always prompt you to accept when visiting website.

We went for claypot rice after running his defragment software in his computer. It's quite nice, the chili is great! Meiling joined us later. We took a MRT to Pasir Ris MRT for the Downtown East countdown. We booked tix for LOTR: Return of the King too at Tampines Mall through my handphone.

It's very packed over at Downtown East, saw Anita Sarawak performing, her voice is great! We manage to squeeze in where the screen are and just chatted and wait for the countdown. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year! Woah, everyone was spraying their confetti cans! We stayed there awhile before making our way down to Tampines Mall.

Personally, I think LOTR: Return of the King is great. But a little draggy. I think Frodo is so weak, that Samwise dhould be the ringbearer. By the time the show was over, it's 4.00AM already. oh mine, we got out of the building, get some drinks from Cheers before walking under the MRT tracks from Tampines Mall. To save cost, I guess.

In the taxi, Ronald was making some lame jokes, but still, it's funny. Especially one which makes the driver laugh. haha. We sent Meiling home, followed by Ronald and lastly, me. I stay quite far from them, so I guess it's just right for me to be the last. The cab fare was $20, will absorb the cost myself, since Meiling paid more than half of the tix cost cos I didn't bring much money with me.

Back at home, my mom thought I was going out. She saw me and asked where you going in such hour. I guess dad didn't tell her about me coming home late. Take a quick shower after drinking a cupful of liquor. In the bathroom, I was kinda in a light headed, couldn't kind coordinate my leg movement well. Well, tucked in after reading the newspaper.
