hullo. i forgot to update yesterday. was too busy doing some stuff. and yes, yesterday(FRIDAY) was an awesome day : ) i'll go into detail later. i just came back from a regular saturday. met someone unexpected. ok la, here are the stuff in chronological order.

FRIDAY. i woke up at 1030am. and my school starts like 1pm today, but there's a reason why im waking up earlier than usual la. because of the apple roadshow at school that is. hahah. rushed singaporean style to school. i was aiming to reach school like around 12pm, but i reached the bustop at dhoby ghaut at 1205pm instead. waited and waited. the bus is officially taking eternity to arrive. saw a female classmate but i had my anti-social mode set ON, so i just didnt have the mood to talk. then the goddamn bus finally came at 1235pm. waited like a fucking half hour. i dunno how many countless 111's and 16's have passed already. it's like as if they only had 2 bus no. 16's in the whole of singapore. but the trip to school was damn fast la.

reached school around 1246pm. the school gate was filled with smokers as usual. thats the usual smoking haunt of the Lasalle students. had to fight through a thick cloud of tabacco smoke going into school. went straight to the canteen where the roadshow was help. it was no big thing la. i thought it was gonna be like some grand event with giant banners, and blasting music, but it was just a small corner where the apple crew were all seated, selling a small rack of accessories nearby. i almost didnt see them. the canteen was filled with students. and i dont see a single parent there, i wonder how are the students gonna buy? and my mom was set to come later, and i will feel really embarassed if the other students see me around with a parent. it's just damn AWKWARD la. like as if im a primary school student going around school with my mother. i asked one of the staff a few questions and then im off to my first class of the day. but before going to class, i called up my mom to ask her about some laptop questions. talked and talked. then i eventually made up my mind to buy here in school. since they are offering special promotional prices for us students.

went off to attend the first class of the day. The Fusion Workshop, as it is called. it's about the collaboration of all foundation music students together, placed in respective groups and perform something together once every 2 weeks, starting from august 11. the list of the groups were passed around, and im in the last group of the table, group 12. then being a regular kaypoh, i looked at other people's names. and saw one really weird instrument being someone's main instrument. there is only one guy in the whole of foundation playing a sitar. and a SITAR is an indian instrument and that student is a chinese. damn weird rite. in the workshop, we hear different transformations of mostly classic songs, into something sounding completely different, but it's still the same old song. i found some cool, and some boring. then halfway throughout class, my dad called. great. i hid under the chair and answered the call. what the hell? he's in my school grounds. he came instead of my mom. i hung up abruptly on him because i dont wanna get caught by the teacher.

later we were split up to our respective groups. then i took the oppurtunity to "go to the toilet." met my dad outside and went to the roadshow. made payment on the spot and YES I GOT A NEW LAPTOP! but my laptop isnt there as they were out of stock but the good news is, i got the receipt and was told that i could come down ASAP to the Apple Center @ Cine after school to collect my laptop. my heart was skipping a beat la. im just dammmn happy inside. and ya, apple's known to have WHITE laptops, which is like the cool and main color, but i decide to get something different, i took black. but i cant argue about the fact that white is still nicer la. i returned to the auditorium, and our class was just dismissed. hahah. i just missed the whole damn discussion thing. nvm la. there's always next week. after the workshop, i had like an hour and a half of break. i was one of the last few to leave the auditorium, so most of the guys have disappeared already. and that leaves me lonely. so i just follwed the group of girls. stuck with them for the next hour or so.

our class is broken into 3 different groups after this lesson. we have classes A, B and C, which start right after each other. and the first class was already on, and im in class B. the unlucky batch are the C's because they finish at 7pm. slacked in the canteen with Elynn(i think) and the other 2 girls i duno their names. drank 2 cans of mango juice and a bottle of peach tea. nothing can quench my thirst la. we were decomposing already so we moved on to the library to use the internet. i had no idea on how to use MAC computers at all. so i just anyhow click. i even went to my blog on the computer there, i hope it auto clears the internet's history, or not people later anyhow see. got sick of the library so just decided to wait outside of the class.

our next class was some indonesian instruments thing. those got big gongs, and other weird percussion instruments, mostly made out of metal, those that can anyhow knock 1. i had no idea why we had this compulsory. like in what way is this related to our main study in our course? the teacher explained la, and the class overall was alright la. i was playing some xylophone like instrument and it's damn easy to play. and we heard some good and bad news. the good news is, next week's lesson is cancelled : D BUT the bad news is, we are forced to attend some concert at the SINGAPORE CONFERENCE HALL in place of the class. and it's NOT EVEN FREE. must pay $10. class ended and i'm glad.

went to somerset to meet muneh. we were catching a movie what. we were supposed to watch Nachos Libre but that show had horrible reviews and it's said to be UNfunny. so we watched Lady In The Water instead. but before that, went to Cine's APPLE CENTER to collect my heart. i'm a complete newbie to using the new MAC OS system so he went through a short tutorial to teach me the basics on using this cool tool. and my macbook comes with a built-in Isight camera, so next time if i bring my laptop around can anyhow take neoprints together and be retarded. collected my love, and went up to buy tix. and best thing is, MUNEH IS ACTUALLY PAYING FOR MY TICKET! first time. a payback for the movies in the past that i treated him. watched the show at the 715pm slot.

and i have to say something about this movie. the story line is super complicated and i dont understand shit. so... unless any of you like complicated storylines, this movie is for you. then went back home around 10pm. DAMN GOOD DAY ALRIGHT.

TODAY, saturday. went for usual japanese class. and im dozing off in class in the last hour. i slept like 4am last night la, trying to set some preferences in my new Macbook. then i was alll set to go to Apple Center @ Cine to look at some laptop bags and then go back home, i bumped into Jerry on the way. then he asked me follow him, since i got nothing else to do, i did. went to the apple center @ Wheelock place. damn lousy. they had NO laptop bags at all. looked at the mouse for Macs. it's damn cool as in form of its looks and functions la. but the pricetag isnt nice. $88. just FOR A FUCKING MOUSE?! then teleported over to Cine, they had bags alright. but the slingbags are ugly, and they go beyond $100. met the friendly dude who set up my laptop the day before. i made up my mind la, im buying the smaller bag, with no handle, means i have to carry it with both my hands, but the material's good but it's still at a shitty $59. at least it looks so much nicer than that ugly slingbag.

ate at cine's long john. actually wanted to eat at the long lost favourite chicken rice haunt at Far East, but the idiot beside me lazy to walk. then window shopped a while more at heeren. i still remember that particular shirt at NEWUBRANMALE, which was meant for girls, but im liking it anyway, IS GONE. so sad la. then walked over to PS, played a little arcade and then went back home.

home now. feeling a little tired. i forgot that i still have a donut in my bag now. i bought it earlier today. nothing much that i can do online now. so i guess i'll sleep soon. night.

all of the things that i wanted to say
just aren't coming out right
i'm tripping inwards
you've got my head spinning
i dont know where to go from here.
