So easy,

arh. ever since i got that new xbox 360. it has taken over my nightlife. but the special thing for tonight is, i'm not playing it. man, it's addictive. for 2 nights in a row, i've been playing that console till 5am, and getting to bed at 6am, and waking up later at 11am, to prepare for classes. argh i'm so damn tired when i get out of bed. not only just playing till wee hours of the morning, for yesterday, i played till i forgot that the last time i took a bath was yesterday morning at 1130am. -_-

i even forgot to have my regular meals. the only 2 meals i had for yesterday was a kfc meal and a cup of instant noodles. the kfc meal was taken at about 4pm, and the other one was at 11pm. even though i had a terrible headache, i couldnt take my eyes off the television set. that's how a console could ruin a guy's life. but now, i have CONTROL. so i hereby declare that later tonight would be a game-less night.

well. today, i woke up early, and i feel happy. no, im not crazy. im happy because i have found a customer who's willing to buy my old xbox from me. and he suggests to meet at compass point, how convenient is that? well, i decided to meet him at 1pm today. and i was late. i was making up my hair in front of my room mirror and the clock was staring at me, it was about 120pm. lol. i can never be early. then my father pissed me off, he rebuked me for a small matter, so when he went to shower, i got my revenge. i went to his room. opened his wallet, and took out 3 crisp $10 notes. lol. i'm so bad. then i left, in a cab, on the way to compass point. and it turned out that the guy who was smsing me the day earlier, was just helping a friend to find used xboxes, and that dude works at cyberactive computer, some pc shop on the 3rd floor. he examined the contents in the box, and then later handed me $100 in cold hard cash. i'm a hundred dollars richer now yeah! i just love money. well, who doesnt? but i gotta have self-control yet again. i still remember the time my mom went to retrieve my pay check for my first job last december. my pay amounted to $1015. i was thinking, wow a thousand bucks?! i thought thats a really huge amount for a student like me, and thought it would be really hard to finish. i was wrong. on just food, i spent almost $80 weekly, on just a certain type of food. home delivered, pizzas that is. within 2 months, my bank account had been reduced to less than half.

im no longer feeling rich again after that. and resumed my normal life as a budget spender. usually in the past, when i was a thousand bucks richer, i would eat out at restaurants, whenever i was out with friends. those costing about $20 per set meal, no desserts yet. to me, $50 was a small amount last time, i fished out $50 notes from the atm machine and they vanish mysteriously within 1/2 hr. haha.

i just had a hard time completing my japanese homework just now. i didnt friggin practise that language in 6 days, and i was really confused. just didnt know that i could forget a ton of important stuff in 6 days. now i realise the importance of practising.

today sucked. i finished music class and there was nothing much to do, except for having my lunch and after that i'll be heading straight back home. i seem to get sick of the food im eating everyday. the pizza bun that i was having today seemed to taste like shit. and i got a feeling that i've got cheated today, the same lady took my order, and she charged me like almost $7 for my meal. wtf. why the sudden jack in pricing? all i ordered was a pizza bun, some kaya toast and a drink of icemilo. the last time i ordered that, it costed like only $5. maybe the woman was having her revenge on me. last time she charged me only $3 for the same meal lol. maybe that day was her first day at work. dont think i'll eat there in a while. maybe i'll go for pastamania next week. but it feels idiotic. sitting in pastamania @ funan, all alone. nah, i'm very used to having meals alone outside. last year when i was still back in sec sch, i would always rush back home after the final period of the day, and immediately went to eat at either mac or kfc at hougang point, the mall nearest to my place anyway. sian.

i've been eating almost fast food everyday. KFC KFC KFC. Mac Mac Mac. Pizza Pizza Pizza. what else could i try?! i hate eating the same damn food everyday. well, for saturdays, which is tmr, is slightly different. i'll eat overpriced pratas at orchard. but thats finally something different anyway. it tastes great but its not worth the amount im paying. $2.50 per prata is ridiculous. thats the usual place i always have my meal at after japanese class every saturday. it used to be a chicken rice stall in far east. hmm. talking about that chicken rice stall. there's this chicken rice stall on the 3rd floor of far east plaza, really good chicken rice. maybe i'll eat there tmr. provided i have the craving.

well, a few days back, i reluctantly went for a job interview with a friend. obviously, i screwed things up during the interview. our job was to promote the IT(mostly) products that the company had. then this guy came in the room, he was asking us questions. like ask us what mp3 we favour and bla bla. and i knew it, he was in charge mp3 players. Creative mp3 players, to be exact. then he asked me what mp3 did i have, i said ipod mini. and his reply was sarcastic. it was so obvious that he was against apple products. then he bombarded us with questions, like he was pretending to be a customer who's gona choose an mp3 player to buy, and needs suggestions from us. i dunno whats gotten into me, i screwed this part up. and i didnt get chosen to promote mp3s, first reason, because im an apple fan. and my friend got chosen as he owned a creative mp3 player himself, but i sense that that guy is being bias as during the questioning part, he gave way dumber answers than me. for e.g. he said that creative products were china made, so people thought that being china-made would mean low quality. then he pressurized us and asked what about Apple's products, they're china made too. and my friend, gave a really stupid answer here.

friend : what? i tot Apple products all made in japan one?
interviewer: ...(i presume he was thinking that my friend has a small brain)

since WHEN was apple japanese? lol. the big A, even my 6 year old neighbour know's that it's an american product. then we filled up the forms, standard procedure. and he said he'll call us to get to know we're in. i dont wanna work. anyway i dont think i'll be hired anyway. i have a problem with the working hours. they require me to work on weekends, im not free on saturday. soo.. i highly doubt that i'll get hired. then we left the building and we walked 745kilometres. it was my stupid idea la haha. he wanted to get his hair done at funan mall's kimage. we were at sim lim square, which is around Little India. and our destination is in City Hall, and i decided to walk all the way there. we walked and walked and walked. and sooner, we saw SMU, and i knew that dhoby ghaut was nearby, then we came to this big turn and we moved forward, then i see a building which looked familiar.. we walked closer.... and closer...... we're reaching city hall yeah! when we turned around the bend, we are back in front of sim lim square again.

-_-

how annoying is that?! when u thought u had walked a really really long distance, you go back to square one.

my friend became insane for about 1 minute and 4 seconds. then he was normal again. this time. i led again. we decided to walk still... and THIS TIME, im leading with both my eyes open. this time nothing cocked up. haha we reached bugis after 49hours of walking. since city hall is around the area, i decided to walk somemore but my friend disagreed and we rushed for the mrt instead. we were like panting in the mrt. walk so bloody long. now only one stop more and we finally reached. then the next stop came, we came out of the mrt, and we ended up at Lavender.
yes, lavender. we took the wrong side of the mrt. my friend was about to go insane again but luckily the mrt arrived before he could lose his mind. then we met munir, on the dot. we went through hell just to get to city hall.

then he went to get his hair done. munir and i went to immense ours in the world of I.T.
hahahh his hair now damn damn damn damn damn short when we saw him later. and immediately after that we embarked on a taxi journey on our quest to eat prata at singapore's so called, no.1 prata stall. we took the cab cuz we wanted to save time, plus we're all lazy to walk to the mrt station. and instead, the cab was stuck in a horrible jam. i kept staring at the cab fare meter. i wish i got the power to jam it lol. then the whole cab journey would only cost $2.40 lol. if that really happened i bet the taxi driver would commit suicide after dropping us off.

the sky was already dark. i think it should be around 8pm when we started ordering our food. i think the standards have dropped. their pratas arent really that satisfying. my 2 pratas that i ordered were so puny-sized. i was still dammn hungry after i finished my prata. lucky there's a free side of mutton haha. i cant believe that plate of mutton is going for $6. i didnt pay for it, but anyway i feel that their stuff there is highly overpriced. they have really bizarre prata inventions. like the chocolate and strawberry prata. wtf?! i dont like the idea of oily prata getting mixed with chocolate. and there's icecream prata too, how weird, going for $5.90 each! omg. no wonder we were the only customers there.

it's 130am now. i havent showered since i got back just now at 7pm. oh! forgot to mention that compass point now has some new event in the heart of the mall, promoting flat screen TVs and also, the XBOX 360! there are 3 sets there on display, i hogged the DOA4 booth. wait. i didnt hog the booth, some kids hogged it. i waited like 45 minutes to get a chance to play. after 4 toilet breaks. i came back, this kid just lost a match, then he left, then just before im about to step forward, a kid just zoomed past me and there, he hogs the set now.

> : (

but im lucky, the kid's mom scolded him like crazy then he couldnt play and his mother dragged him back home. lol. i wana sleep immediately after i shower later. but i dont think i can sleep. my body clock is already fucked. my body is designed to feel sleepy after 5am now. forcing wouldnt work, and it would only make the matter worse. i havent tried alternative methods like reading a boring book. i dunno wheere all my novels have gone to. my mom bought me this horror novel by stephen king about 5 years ago. and till now, the longest i've read was only to page 2. lol i take 5 years to read 2 pages.

maybe i could just play my xbox360 for a while... 5 minutes would hurt...noooo. i kanot do that. 5 minutes would turn to 5 hours. haha. i still have about 2 slices of my birthday cake left. i duno.. maybe now its gone. i have a sudden craving for cake now. i just finished my tub of Ben&Jerry's IceCream yesterday. im really sad. when eating that icecream, i feel so high, im drowned in the great taste... it feels.... nothing could describe the feeling when eating B&Js. maybe better than sex lol. argh. i feel like a caveman now. i'm gona shower now. bye!
