Back!
Finally made the effort to go to the blogger website and START putting in an entry again. So many times I wanted to add an entry, but I kept giving myself excuses this and that, wonder what's wrong with me. Once again I'm losing my touch I guess. Anyway, I'm gonna try to recap the past weeks events and pen whatever I can remember...
Day before my birthday. The PC Show was going on at Suntec, was suppose to go with Cai to the show, end up he was only able go in the morning then work in the afternoon. I had work in the morning. Later in the afternoon, I met up with a seller of a MP3 player he put up on auction. A couple days earlier I had made up my mind to get a bigger capacity player, 128MB is really not enough. Went on to Yahoo Auctions and came across this compact 512MB player going at a relatively cheap price, got my attention and bidded for it. It was good when i tested it, it was like new, everything in the box was included and intact... until when i tried the radio function. Muffy. Absolutely muffy. Nope its not the earphones or its jack. It could pick up the signals, but the sound was just so muffy. Fuck. Well... at least the MP3 songs sound alright, I told myself. Sigh.
After that I went to PC Show. Most ppl would go to the Show with the intention to buy something. I didn't, I just wanted to check out what's new and hot there. And I threw myself into one of the worst crowd I've ever been. Comparable to CNY and Chinatown and NYE countdowns. 20mins to get from one end of the hall to the other inside. Oh ya I was saying, I was just there to check out what's around... and I ended up getting myself ANOTHER MP3 player... a MP4 player to be exact.
FiPod, I called it(FakeiPod). Similiar in size, 1GB, has FM radio in it and plays video. Wow. Sounds pretty cool eh? Even the iPod Nano itself doesn't have such cool functions. And it's significantly cheaper too. Yes, you can say that I bought it on impulse... I'd like to say it as a birthday present to myself. It really works, plays MP3s, radio is clear, really plays video. No, it doesn't have that circle touch pad thingy, every button pressed produces this loud "tak" sound. Then slowly I begin to the wonders of china-made products... note to self and to all: NEVER buy China electronics. Seriously.
That night out for a late night movie with a friend, watched Slithers. Quite a horrible show actually, but strangely amusing to watch... not to mention kinda gross too. Supposedly to be a horror-cum-comedy movie... typical horror alien invasion plot, out-of-place music and features cast never heard before. Not even one. I like lame stuff, but this is a different kind of lame... the kind that made me feel not worth to watch.
Birthday day itself. As usual, nothing special, no big celebration, gatherings or blahblahblah. Did recieve a number of birthday wishes through SMS. A couple of people actually wanted to meet up with me today... including one who wanted to go suntanning heh... but end up I chose to go shopping with her again today. Met Stef in the evening, but barely 5 mins into it, she had some family emergency. However later she managed to get hold of her dad's BMW and took me for a short ride, had drinks at Coffee Bean before sending me back before midnight. I had a good time that day. :)
Had some big serving of fries at the Cafe at Marriot.
Following that I had classes at the start of the new week. Skipped them. :D Just felt like it somehow... went to Borders to read stuff, a little window shopping in the area before heading home. At my workplace, lotsa changes going on. One of the guys is resigning, then our service manager is tendering his as well. One is gone on vacation to Hong Kong, my senior tech is going to Koh Samui with the Mini Club as support.... which leaves us with really little manpower. A new guy came to help with the part dept and discussion is going on regarding who from the other workshops is coming to here and who's gonna be the new service manager. At the moment, the Mini workshop seems to be the busiest among the others in the Trans Eurokars group, a reason why others are not so willing to come here to work. As for me, I still got much more to learn, yet to bring down an engine myself...
Last Friday went to watch The Omen with... heh yeah same her. Quite an alright suspend film. Had some moments where we both covered our eyes and asked each other what happened lol. Over the weekend sucumbed to a slight fever. This was a time were everyone was falling sick... but thanks to the power of garlic i had discovered and read about recently, I'm recovering fast. Really... taking garlic raw works. Wouldn't recommend taking it just like that... i was crinching my face and slaming my head into my bed after trying to munch down a fresh raw clove. Now I've learnt to chop it onto smaller chunks and mixing it with food. The juice bite is still there, but at least I don't have to jump around my room madly after every spoonful.
The $$$ issue is really getting into me. Late last month I was preped up to go for salsa classes, which in the end was cancelled. Now there's an opening this Saturday, but I couldn't afford it now. Someone's willing to buy this 512MB MP3 player this weekend, but still it ain't enough. Was thinking of selling some stuff to get the $$$, but obviously as you can see, those are desperate thoughts. I always tell myself I have to do this i have to do this... and I always end up not doing it at all. Hmm...
These days having a bad tummy. Wonder whay did I eat? Uh... uh... man I gotta go. *rushes to toilet*
