was the day i 'organised' a dinner gathering for my hwa chong classmates. it was a bad timing indeed, most of them having exams so only the future doctors from medicine came as theirs ended. but most of the time i was listening to them pouring out their worries abt getting 'vivas' which were apparently board interviews with a panel of professors. You could be called for if u are borderline pass/fail cases or u are a distinction vivas. Anyway learnt a few stuff thru' their conversation of what they had to study and some sick classmates (read:perverted) they had.

oh btw we had lunch at PS cafe cartel. nice food. lots of bread. then i met red cross buddies like weishan, yuhui and a few juniors. this time i had lots to talk cos we were chatting on everything under the sun, from red cross training to movies.

then it's zouk time. went in first person i saw was steven who led me to a table where i met my sispec friend, cheng hao. then saw my ocs friends, wee ping, jason then yi ying. it was mood-for-drinking day, i had like 8 different shots.

during the 1-for-1 period, i decided to try drinks i saw on tv or recommended ones. steven (super-nice-guy) treated me blower and sex on the beach.

then i had lots of lychee martini and could even treat ed, sam, maureen and her 4 frenz.

i also had tequila neat when i treated my ocs friend-cum-future doctor, kelven. i guess my PR not bad, somehow know a lot of doctors. lol.

treated again my sispec friend flaming lamborghini but he treated me back with graveyard.

i also had cosmopolitian which was kinda tasteful with vodka, gin and raspberry. had illusion courtesy of maureen's friend.

not forgetting my friend opened bottle, chivas. wah tasted like cockroach brew. i was tipsy and damn high, on the verge of puking but i guess i got it under control. it was actually the 'burping' feeling, not really vomitting. cos gulped down most of the drinks. lucky i had a great dinner, if not sure gastric.

then went down abt 2+ to geylang for supper with my friends who were weirdly interested in exploring the red light district. from phillipino breed to chinese to thai. (read:sorry if i use breed though i should not discrimate). listened to interesting facts and terms but shant reveal here. anyway, i felt kinda sleasy. especially when i encountered pimps for the first time. anyway after enough wandering around, we left the place and headed home.

ok but to the materialistic me. what are the 5 signs you know a person is in a fashion crisis?

5. trendspotting in the streets aka observing people.

4. visits websites from abercrombie & fitch, espirit, topshop, etc.

3. desperately want to own membership cards like espirit, topman, etc. most of the time you need to spend $150 to get one. and the blogger has 2 within 2 days.

2. views 'discounts' as money saved to buy more.

and

1. donates clothes from girdarno (damn, cant even spell it), hang ten, bossini (no offence to all)

the day i went on a tour around sim lim square, in search for my laptop. was so stressed not to buy the wrong laptop. got to choose between ACER and ASUS. the stats were the best of the current laptop models in the market.

i was told i had to pay cash. never had i seen so many $50 notes in my life, was actually looking around for thieves. lol. for the first time, i knew i had a limit on the amount i could draw which was 2000 for posb.

anyway, the lady was nice to fix up my laptop for a 1.5GB DDR2 instead of my current 1GB for free.

in the end, spending $2698 sent me home feeling good.

at least i know i have some computer allowance to claim.

on fri, had dinner with my best gal friend at changing appetite at marina square. It's like cafe cartel without the free flow of bread but with 10% discount.

marina square is so big, only been there twice. can do a lot of shopping. funan it mall also but i cant wear stuff from there though :(

seems like i have been spending a lot huh, but dun fret, i had set aside a lump sum to save and most of my money also used to give my parents and pay for home bills. hey, i am considering as a working adult now, must contribute right?

my com died and so did my modem. had to rush down to PS starhub branch to purchase one at 99 bucks! it's not cheap. lol.

then met my buddies, andy, melvin, jeremy, samuel for drinks at andy's bar. we then proceeded to kbox at peace centre, selegie from 12 to 4am. had fun singing weird songs.

oh btw off-topic: currently immersed in jason mraz's songs, he's such a great musician. geek in the pink, o-lover. btw i got a 250gb hard disk too for entertainment purpose. i am loaded with movies and remixes!

next week aim: lie low
duty officer on sat.

ciao.

..:: 402. The One With Shopping Spree ::..

too long never update cos i got two weekend duties.

housewarming at jeremy's house. i 'recruited' more people to be 'sex and the city' fans. lol. nice house at amk, grandeur. the full length windows made the whole place seem bright and big. can also ogle at people at the swimming pools.

my sec sch juniors and teacher-in-charge

got a free pair of tickets from red cross to go watch a play at raffles jubilee hall. doubt. actors include lim yu beng, pamela oei and nora samosir. The play debates the need for moral clarity and questions the role of faith in both our public and private lives. It also searches for a definition of sexual abuse. Intriguing story line and i enjoyed a few laughs throughout the show.

This play got me interested to watch the upcoming Burn The Floor, a dance performance. However, i still dunno whether it is worth spending the money and living off with memories... nothing tangible unlike...

my shopping spree! lol. surprisingly i got my backpay one day earlier. so sinful. shant reveal my pay but i actually spend 400 bucks on clothes within 2 days. guess i need that wardrobe for university life. going school is like going for pageant. cannot su seh (lose out).

first time i could buy a shirt for 80 bucks and dun feel pain. :P





and my friend got me a shirt from switzerland. so sweet.

anyway this week gotta be a blast. only working for tue and wed. today, 100406 is a mon, attended engineer workplan seminar. so many speeches. yawnz. i thought jeans were not part of being smart casual. i look so formal, but at least i dress up instead of down.

wed having dinner with my hwa chong 03S74 guys. and then it's clubbing! zouk? anyone care to join, pls msg me :) thx.

now i need shoes... any one wanna retail therapy with me?

i need a holiday. KL? anyone?

btw, i do save. dun worry. i had 2 years premium set aside.

'Can you get comfortable with not knowing, with not being certain?' John Patrick Shanley, writer of 'Doubt'.

Doubt is a critically acclaimed play which swept all the major theatre awards in the U.S. including the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and the 2005 Tony Award for Best Play.

Cheers.
