IPOD CLASSIC FTW
I FREAKING IMPULSE-BOUGHT AN IPOD CLASSIC!!
I was like surfing on the singapore classifieds on the guitar forum and 88db. AND then i saw this impossibly cheap deal! "Black ipod classic 80gb mint condition for only $250! Deal at Tanglin. Contact Larry."
When i saw it i was like wtf?! Sure bo Larry?? perhaps the price has dropped? I called up Harvey Norman to check the retail price of the Classic, and they reported letting it off at $388.
Then I called the guy up and asked if he really is letting it off at that dubious price, and he said sure. We then agreed to meet up 2 hours later at Commonwealth.
Freaking impulse! The whole transaction was carried out in less than 4 hours after I saw the ad. Larry was a typical ah beng, skinny scrawny and wears skinny jeans, scratchy voice. About 17, but way shorter than me. Then i asked him, "Eh why are you letting it off at such an outrageous price?" He said he wasnt the seller, it was his boss. So i took a quick check of the ipod's appearance and functions to see if they were as mint as he said. Nothing out of the ordinary, and it even came in a crystal plastic case, so I wouldnt have to spend extra! No scratches at all.
Gave him the moolah and sat there fiddling with it for 10 minutes. Everything was perfect except that it was loaded full of Muslim and Malay songs, all of which I didnt understand. You know those deep droning long songs? Yeah those.
Quickest second hand deal Ive ever made. Not to mention sweet~
Hahaha I bet no one has a cheaper ipod classic than me!

Weary
This holiday is not fun at all :( The past three weeks have all been preoccupied by homework homework and more homework. I got so much chemistry homework that my typing skill improved. Dont know what got into Jesse's head, she wanted us to complete the whole o level syllabus. Answer all the 'candidates requirement' in front of every chapter. Like 140 questions! wtf. Plus 13 chem papers. Add that to 6 math papers, 1 geog paper, 1 SS sbq, 2 compres, 1 compo and the worst - chinese hw (which im totally not going to do). Then the 4th week of hols Jesse is giving us an online quiz.
The truth finally dawned upon me. I am in love with jesse.
However I did go out many times for LAN sessions! Got pretty much sucked into the whole CS thing. It is fun! Thurs shall probably be the last session (my 5th LOL) before the Os. These four months shall be pretty dull and stressful ones, and I sure hope i dont die of sudden cardiac arrest or something.
Went out with JO today to mug chemistry on laptop in library. Two days back we mugged at Je Library. Je lib is really a hard place to find powerpoints! The library opens at 10 and he went in at 10.15, only to find all seats taken?!! So after having brunch with Sheryl and 409 people at some western restaurant at Bukit Timah plaza. It has the best value for money stuff there! One pasta/baked rice + iced tea = $5.90! This is like 3 -5 bucks cheaper than pasta mania or pizza hut. After the wannabe-DSAers left to cab back to NJC for their test, we slacked around enjoying the ambience before going back to westmall library to mug, which thankfully has less people.
Mugged from like 12 to 4pm. Went home. Rested awhile then went out to jog 4.5km. Did it at leisurely pace this time, so obviously i didnt clock my pb of 22.21 min. Mugged after dinner, and here I am, complaining about chemistry. Left with the last chapter: organic chem!
Mugged.

Fun and ugh
im currently suffering from a neck sprain which i dont know how i got during the games at sentosa. ugh. icepackkkk. currently typing with my head tilted 45 up against the arm chair with the ice pack at the back of my neck. so my typing is awkward. the games were great, but the forfeit was um. overall, it very much exceeded the expectations of a class outing, because i thought it would be dull: what can we do in sentosa?!
bah....only finished all chem papers. left with loads of hw.

Schools OUT!
HAHAHA school's finally over! Though its probably not worth a shoutout because its Olevel year - mug year. BUT there is still the consolation of finally being able to wake up when the sun is shining high in the sky, instead of doing so at unearthly wee hours in the morning, when humans are supposed to be asleep!
Wednesday:
Super happy, because I found out that my Social studies topped the class at 42/50. I had totally expected to fail like shit, because I only read like 2.5 chapters(!!), and had totally no confidence after the paper. Kept asking Sathi "I did badly this time right? I didnt do well right???" when its my turn to claim my paper, but she didnt write the freaking score on the paper! It was such a suspenseful 5 seconds, during which she referred back into her score sheet, saying " Nonono you did well. YEAH you dare to not do well for SS?!"
Thursday:
Super happy, because i clinched 3 more marks for total shitty e.geog, scoring 28/50. This pulled my combined humans to A2.
Friday:
Collected results, which were rather good. 28 in express, 2nd in class. If i were a special student, i would have been 72nd. Played my eyes out at LAN with 410 guys. Skills slightly improved during this 3rd session of counterstrike in my life LOL. Clarence owned at AWP, causing counterterrorist to totally dominate in d_dust.
Today:
Went out with my little sister Joy to Takashimaya to buy Godiva chocolate for mama as a belated birthday gift. We are both no lifes! (prolly due to my conservative dad) It was like my 6-7th time along Orchard Road for heaven's sake (her 3-4th time). Besides that, my family members typically dont know how to play Bridge, Blackjack, Mahjong, (insert fun, entertaining, comrade-bonding games) etc etc. My dad revealed to me that he frequently topped his school last time (maris stella i think) and he does not have any hobbies or interests! He always hit the books once he reached home from school when he was a student. Appalling info! Explains largely our incompetence in entertainment. Well, at least im learning -.-
Today's the first time I went out with my sister for leisure, and it was a rather interesting 6 hours outside. Felt thirsty and bought an avocado smoothie at Pass the Juice, which we shared. Wandered around and saw a Coffeebean&Tealeaf outlet, and we felt compelled to buy another drink. So we shared one regular cup of 'The Ultimate' ice blended, costing us 8 bucks. It had chocolate chips, whipped cream and fragrant ice coffee, damn ultimate.
Ate at Carls Junior. As expected, their burgers are REAL burgers, their onion rings are REAL onion rings. We ended up overeating and became extremely bloated.
Shopped at Levis and I bought a new shirt with $80 gift voucher from aunt as early bday gift. Went to Times and read some books together.
After reaching home at 8+ pm, we rested awhile before going out to jog 4.5 km. Great cool night breeze and weather conditions! I did a timing of 24.04 min
Sleep.
