hmm.. It was a long wkend due to the deepavali festivities.. really didnt do much justice to this extended holiday.. fell asleep on the sofa on 2 nights (fri and sun) and spent one night night-cycling wif some frens frm army and some Siglap CC ppl.. so its kinda like nt enuff rest.. oh wellz, at least the wkend was chuck full of activities?
Friday night was the killer, damn tired frm work, so rested a while on the sofa.. awhile turned out to be till 5am! switched over to my mattress at 5am and cont sleeping till 8+.. surfed abit of web and dota-ed wif ric abit on the sat morning.. evening was out meeting justin and kang for the night cycling thingie at ECP. Was quite okay la, only thing is the speed was abit slow during the journey towards lau pa sat, probably due to the presence of a MP (Mr Chan Soo Sen, former Minister of State and MP of Joo Chiat).. He was the Guest-Of-Honour for the event.. everything was too, how-you-say, orderly and lawful... stopping at traffic lights even when no vehicles were around (mind you, we were cycling past midnight..) the "To" journey took abt 1hr++.. We then had a sumptuous supper at lau pa sat.. had stingray, satay and more stingray! lol.. the stingray was gooooood.. :) bagus! had sugarcane drinks too.. MR Chan left aft the supper and we continued..
the ride back was less restricted (possibly cos less cars on the road and we had excess energy to spend aft such a full meal). speed up quite abit, took us only abt 30-1hr to complete the ride back, which wasnt tat long aft all.. in all a 22km ride, hows that for a work out =P (though we probably ate more calories than we burned). Anyway, the other peeps left at arnd 3.. left me, justin and kang.. slept/played/talked till 8am.. during which, some "totally-forgettable-incident regarding a filipino and me" happened. don't really wish to talk abt it here tho. =P
went back home and reached at abt 9plus/10, ate my lunch and then met david at penn shopping centre to search for g-u-i-t-a-r.. (one of my "
resolutions" for the year was to pick up a musical instrument). when we got there, "Davis" was closed!!! URGH!! the guitar shop that sold some really beginner-friendly guitars was CLOSED!!! OMG! SO SUAY LOR!! walked arnd abit.. tried a TGM and a J&D.. TGM was ok but the handle was abit big whereas the J&D had a cheap sounding tone (so says david.. hahaz, i seriously dunno one).. went around the shops another time.. found, MAESTRO!! the guy actually came back from lunch, thot the shop was closed sia.. heng.. went inside tried SD-1, which was something i was checking out online. nice tone, and the color was purrrfect.. '
this is itnice isnt it? bought it! lugged it back home lor.. been trying to play (only noise comes out, so far).. knocked out on the sofa once again, this time watching the 933FM music awards.. only woke up at arnd 3 to shutdown the com and go back to sleep! haha..
woke up today, wanted to go swim, but sian leh.. sky abit dark dark.. run oso cannot.. ended up cycling at home on my stationary bike.. (comes in useful on these days, and my butt area still hurts frm sat night's cycling) ate lunch and went out to meet justin and gang (frm camp) at amk hub for pool. i totally kena pawned la.. dejected sia.. think they play too much.. i shud stick to playing wif noobs :) anywayz, went to "tea/lunch" (lunch for those who skipped it) at abt 3.. then went for lan gaming.. played BF:viet, which was.... SIAN! super slow running speed lah! travelling was uber sian.. esp if u travelled for the past 2min+ and end up the viet enemy shot u within 5s of engagement.. how to spell SI BEI SIAN? (oops i just did).. oh well.. played dota.. kena OWN-ED by jovin la.. he pro.. think its the power of playing league? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... thats all for my deepavali long wkend.. this fri still got guard duty sia.. effectively cut short my weekend T_T but okayz laaa.. gonna spend the sat and sun resting at home (if nth really crops up again). tml is TUES WOOHOO!!! NO MONDAY BLUES!!
