So easy,

booked out. the feeling is priceless. especially when we are marching down to the ferry terminal with our field packs. no matter how little sleep i have, when im booking out, i'll suddenly be charged with so much energy. that's the power of being released out of confinement.

January 11th.

possibly leaving the island at the earliest time so far. 730am. but we're not going home yet. we have this dumb excursion to the Singapore Discovery Center for Nation Education purposes. seriously i felt like just walking out there and go home. NS is just a waste of time.

5pm.

outing to KTV @ Woodlands. i didnt sing much, because i dislike some songs. and neither do i have the voice to sing after that shouting in camp. ate at MOS burger for the first time in about 3 months. though overpriced, i still like thier burgers.

January 12th.

supposedly a movie outing organized by me. some couldnt come so it was sad. there isnt really any good movie worth watching, so i dropped the idea. my original backup plan for the day is to either play pool, or do shopping. there were only 3 of us anyway. since my NS pay came in 2 days ago, shopping sounds like a great idea : D

and YES, since i've booked out. it's time for me to pamper myself with the food that i wana try out.

ate some cheese prata over at Wisma. overpriced, but i love the type of cheese they use. then went over to Kinokuniya to check out some stuff. i seriously want Kodansha's Japanese Furigana Dictionary. but it's like over $100. oh well. have to wait for my next pay.

halfway had to temporarily pangseh them because i have to go for Piano class. i played like shit. havent touched the shitty home piano for about a month.

5pm.

returned back to Orchard. but i went back to my Japanese school to catch up with loss time there. the place seriously has changed so much over the renovation. initially wanted to chat with my ex teachers and the staff there for about 15 minutes. but i ended up talking cock there for over 45 minutes. lol.

this is freaking unexpected. while walking in the underpass, i saw my NS company's 2nd LIEUTENANT. of all places i see him here. no way can they ever recognize me through my disguise lol.

6pm.

over at Wisma. here's the start of my shopping spree. my spending budget for the day? $200. there was a sale going on, and up to 70% off selected clothes. but those clothes look like fark la. no wonder they wana badly get rid of them. after much hesitation and trying, i settled on 2 long sleeve tops. and that freaking set me back $150. WTF.

2nd location, Pacific Plaza beside Lido for shoes.

seriously the sneakers that i always wear out, are getting from bad to worse. the soles are like wearing out, and some parts are tearing off. and i've always loved brown shoes. since they go well with my color code. which are mainly dark colors. browsed through a shop selling lots of different sneakers. i saw this brown pair of converse shoes, but i didnt wana buy because converse shoes are relatively thin, and the comfort isnt that good.

bought a pair of globe shoes over at Ripcurl. when i place my foot in, it feels like sex. so soft, so comfy. it's like having an orgasm with every footstep i take. hahaha. and on impulse, i zapped my card for it. without realizing i've overshot my budget for shopping.

total shopping expenditure for shopping : $255

walked over to Far East to do some window shopping. and i'm looking for a nice slingbag to replace my current one. this red slingbag sucks. been usng it since i was sec 2. so do your math to estimate how old it is. found the bag that captivated me going for $40. lucky this time, i controlled myself finally, and decided not to buy, YET.

740pm

am hungry. we walked quite in circles so, we sat down for a while, and i used my ipod to locate for any pizza restaurants in town. sadly, i thought there was this pizza place in Wisma, but i think it got replaced with a hongkong restaurant instead. fuck. so i found a replacement quick. California Pizza Kitchen over at the extreme end of orchard. i heard from my ex sec school friends that the pizzas there are good. it's up to my tastebuds to agree or not.

8pm.

the restaurant looks good. the ambience is perfect. to me la. lots of ang mohs around. which is odd. because why would ang mohs wana eat food that they could find anytime in their own country? so we were led to the basement floor.

ordered 3 pizzas, and the bill came up to $84.40

pizzas are ok, nothing special. i still think Pizza Hut could rival with them in terms of taste. but service wise, california pizza wins hands down. and what a coincidence, the group of guys sitting behind us, are apparently NS MEN. and from the way they talk, i think they are also serving BMT just like me. hahah.

10pm

walked over to borders to a random mag so i could read it in camp during my free time. and once again, unexpectedly i saw someone i know. but this time it's not someone from camp la. i saw Cheryl. the girl i used to like 3 years ago. she looks so much prettier now, and taller. but she was with her boyfriend. and it's the very same guy too -_-

seeing her just makes me think back of the way we met 3 years ago. it's so like an "out of a movie scene". i dont bother typing it out since it sounds to good to be true anyway.

to sum it up. this day has been quite well spent for me. hahah. though full of coincidences, shopping has been fun!!

now i'll just have to manage my finances properly. i can be really spendthrift sometimes. i already spent 50 bucks purely just on the day i booked out on TAXI fares. if only there were such a thing as a TAXI CONCESSION.

im really so restless now. im going back to camp later. wonder if i should stock up on more snacks. boredom is killing me when i got nothing to do. time for me to just go comfort myself with junkfood and take a nap later before going back to that dreaded place.

it's too late to apologize
