I was out from 11:30am yesterday till 10 plus at night...hahaha. eleven hours. One of the longest days out I've spent with friends, I must say. Went to Katong to play LAN...too bad I didn't get to savour the "GOD LIKE CHICKEN RICE!" my friends always talked about. they sold pork there. haha.

I was expecting some small, cramped room with old computers and lots of ah bengs...I was wrong. The computers were freakin damn hell state of the art. And what scared me the most was that I played every single game inside it...and might I say they installed a hell of a lot of games inside. All the latest. I played every one of them at the highest quality level, and speed and response remained lightning fast. What the hell!!! I was practically drooling; not over the games, but the computers there! And they were running on Athlon 64's with XFX graphics in a XPC casing...Didn't look very impressive, and the monitors weren't LCD flatscreens. That gives me a rough idea of how my new com will perform...more so since I'm using Core2Duo rather than AMD processors...graphics-wise I'm sure I can match up pretty good. That is, if I get the funding for it. haha.

I seriously need new games. Everything I have right now is boring me to the bone. When I get the new com I'm going to splurge on WWII games...nothing less. Company of Heroes, Call of Duty, anything related. I want to experience life as a soldier! even if it's in virtual reality. haha.

After playing LAN went to bugis and sim lim square with boon, swee khoon and chang yuan. The rest stayed at katong to play pool. haha. It was running late, and we still had two places to go, so we didn't stay. Managed to drag boon and khoon along with me and chang yuan. Had katong laksa on the way there, but decided to stop over at PP first cuz boon wanted to look at some books. Then we took a bus to bugis...bought cy's stuff, then went to SLS to get his bro's birthday present. Gameboy SP..we wanted to slaughter him because he made us travel so far just for him to save 3 dollars! 3 DOLLARS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! I'd pay 3 dollars to smack his face! lol! Right, then took a walk through bugis street, and I do wonder how farzana and chen pei shop there...like boon said : "it's a sign of human decadence." well I'd kinda say its more of "human social decay." there's even a sex shop in there. Never paid much attention to it. hahaha. really.

Right. after all that we took a train home...damn was the haze bad yesterday! When I emerged from any building to outside, the 'smoke' and particulate matter seemed to swallow me right up. I could see the particles right in front of me for goodness sake. And that was the source of the irritating itch in my throat the entire day I guess. What made it worse was the fact that we were in a dense city area with lots of traffic..people smoking, cars stopped at traffic lights...it only made the air quality worse. And we weren't the only ones to feel the pinch of the haze. On the train on the way back, on every stop when the door opened, the haze seemed to envelop us, even though we were in the train. Well I'd curse and swear at those who caused this, but looking at things, I don't think they had much other choice. Gotta survive, you know. Even though you're destroying nature. yeah. Wait till the next tsunami comes and smacks you in the face...

Oh well. And today's another slacking day. I just finished Fable for the third time and I'm so disappointed because there isn't any 'unlimited gameplay'. I mean, after I killed the baddies, the game ended. So that's just disappointing. I haven't even gotten married and had sex yet! well, that's one of the features of the game. You get to buy a house, get married, and well, what comes next, I guess. And I realized that the last time I played it, it was so difficult because I failed to use my experience wisely...just now when I was battling the lost boss I was GODLIKE...he didn't stand a damn chance. I didn't even use my sword! It was just archery at its best.

okay...I think that's just about enough. I'm going to meditate and find any other games that can interest me till my results are out this wednesday. I wonder if I will retain. hahaha. This is really the first time I'm worried about this stuff. I have never worried about staying back. Bu this time it's for real, and I don't want to waste a year. Even more, I don't want to be the object of ridicule. I won't say who.

cheers...and to those taking O's this year, good luck! bring fifty bucks along into the exam hall. You might want to use it in case the paper slaughters you. =)
