I'm not gonna be able to blog later, so...

Happy New Year!!!

Anyway, I've decided not to come up with New Year Resolutions, cos I just end up not doing what I set out to do in my "Resolutions". It's not that I don't have the determination to follow my Resolutions... I dunno... maybe I just don't like following Resolutions, haha. It's a habit.

But I am gonna set myself one goal:
Don't stay in my comfort zone all the time
Sounds cliche? I took it from IP, haha. Anyway, I think that sentence is very appropriate in my case. And I want that sentence to apply to everything, not just my school life. All aspects of life. That one goal pretty much covers it. Oops. Is that counted as a New Year Resolution? Maybe. But I'd rather call it a goal. Less pressure, lol.

I still feel like doing something big today. Last day of a year man. So far I've just spent the day at home. I'm gonna take a long MRT ride afterwards though. See Lok Fung off at Changi Airport.

Tomorrow is the last day of 2005. I feel like doing something important, or something big. But I'll probably just end up doing nothing at home.

Well, I've got a friend, Lok Fung, who's migrating (migrating right? or going for further studies?) to Australia. Known him for, um three years? Good friend. Anyway, I already knew he was going to Australia at the end of the year many months ago, but only recently has it hit home that tomorrow (seeing him off at airport) will probably be the last time I see him. Ok, maybe he'll come back to S'pore during his breaks. But it'll be different. Does this mean I'll lose a friend? Maybe. There's always MSN. But MSN doesn't beat talking face to face.

Things are changing. I'm in JC next year man! School's gonna be a lot different. And I can't believe next year I'm gonna be 17! Se-ven-teen! That seems very old. I mean, well, older than I've ever been, lol. But, yeah, 2006 is gonna be a lot different. I'm looking forward to it. Or at least I want to look forward to it. That's good enough- positive attitude.

Hm... where are those New Year resolutions...?

My left eyelid's been twitching a lot the whole day. It's not non-stop twitching- it just twitches for a while, then it stops (or maybe I stop noticing), then after a while it starts again. Is that supposed to be a bad omen or something? lol

I've never been very superstitious. Or rather, I don't want to be superstitious. So I try not to believe in any, um, superstitious stuff. But sometimes I just like to think that if I do something, I'll be more lucky. Something like that. Of course, I definitely don't believe in any of those crazy superstitions, like the walking-under-a-ladder-brings-bad-luck one, or the crossing-the-path-of-a-black-cat crap. I say "touch wood" out loud one once in a while, just for fun.

If I was ever superstitious, it's when I was gambling. Yes, gambling. BUT only during Chinese New Year. With my relatives. In ringgit (M'sian currency. Yeah, I know ringgit is still money). I've been using this oversized Yakult "bottle" to hold my ringgit/gambling money. I use it every year, for over 5 years already, I think. Whenever I play, I put my bet under the yakult bottle. And I like to experiment with different orientations, to see which one was the most lucky, haha. For example, I could fold the note in two, and put it face up, or I could spread it out, etc. Then when I started losing a lot of money (not really a lot, just relatively speaking), I would change the orientation of the note, in a bid to change my luck. Yeah, it sounds stupid. But it's fun. Can't wait for the next Chinese New Year.

These past two months of holidays haven't been very good sleep-wise. I think I've been averaging 6 hours of sleep a day. That's really little for me, 'cos I need 8 hours. Or rather, I think I need 8 hours.

I dunno what's changed. In the past, if I slept really late, I'd wake up at 10 or 11am. Recently, though, no matter what time I sleep, I wake up at 8am! I don't get it. Be it 11pm, 12am or even 2am, I always wake up at 8am! If I'm lucky it's 8.30am, but I can't sleep past 9! Well, there was once when I woke up at 11am. I dunno how that happened. But it was probably 'cos I slept at 2.30am. And that was a once-off thing.

I tried drawing the curtains. Maybe it was the sunlight in the morning that woke me up. This time of the year the Sun shines directly through the window onto my bed. I still woke up at 8. So it wasn't a question of sunlight. Or maybe the curtains aren't good enough. It's still pretty bright in the room with the curtains drawn. Lousy curtains...

Lack of sleep....

Less than a week left before school starts. I'd better get my sleeping schedule back to normal. Gonna sleep...

Not a very good day today. I was forced to go buy New Year Clothes this afternoon. For Chinese New Year, not the new year of 2006. Anyway, spent 2 hours walking around and ended up with nothing. The crowds were crazy! I couldn't see where the queue started or ended at Robinsons. My first thought was, "Who the hell would wanna wait it a queue that long?" Well, it turns out a lot of people. I guess post-Christmas sale prices are very attractive. But I wasn't that crazy. Ended up just going in, squeezing through the crowd, and walking back out.

Just a while ago, I hit my head while showering. Aargh. I bent down to reach my toes, and my head hit the ceramic (I think) and very hard soap holder that was attached to the wall. It's not as if that thing was just installed. It's been there since the first day! Dammit. I bent down pretty quickly too. I think I've got a bruise on my head now. Still hurts.

5 more days to the end of the year. It doesn't feel like, well, the end of the year. I dunno... A lot's changed in this past year or so... A lot. It'll never be the same... Everything's different now.

Move on.

Um, well I wanted to wait till 12am, but I wanna sleep already, so I'm faking the time (and date) of this post, haha. It's actually 11.40pm 24th Dec.

So anyway,

Merry Christmas!

Hm... almost New Year. Gonna try and come up with some New Year "Resolutions". I never follow through with any though. Haha, I still remember one last year- File all my stuff for all subjects. In the end my only complete file was the Chemistry one, 'cos the teacher filed everything for you, LOL. Anyway, who knows? 2006 may be the year I start making good on my Resolutions.
Maybe....

Recently, there's been this person prank calling my home phone. It's two numbers actually, a "Private Number" and some handphone number beginning with 811 (can't remember the rest of the number). He immediately hangs up after I say "hello". It wasn't really very irritating the first few times; I was just a little frustrated, that's all. Even when that person kept calling back, it didn't really bother me. Well, maybe 'cos I wasn't the one answering most of the calls, haha. My brother did. He was more irritated. But it was the last straw yesterday night.

I just got into bed at around 12. I think I was probably drifting off to sleep already, when the phone started ringing. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was that prank caller, but I still didn't feel like getting up to answer the phone. I decided to wait it out. After what seemed like a whole minute, the phone was still ringing. And mind you, my home phone's ringing tone is really loud and a little annoying. So I reluctantly got up to get the phone. And guess who was on the line? That mystery caller. Wth.

I was very sleepy then, and just answered with a quick "hello", hoping to end the call as soon as possible. Well, it did end fast. Too fast. That guy didn't even say a word before hanging up, immediately after he heard what I said. Bloody hell.

Today, after a few calls from that guy idiot, my brother decided to retaliate. We have caller ID, and he was stupid enough to use a handphone. So we called him back. Or rather, my brother called him back. I just sat back and watched. Once we put the phone on speaker while watching TV, haha. That was fun. The idiot said "hello" a few times then hung up. We got peace for a while. Apparently that idiot switched off his handphone after our numerous calls. But it was shortlived. At night he was at it again.

I don't know who this guy idiot is, but I'm quite sure it's not one of my friends. I think. I mean, who could be so wu liao? My brother suspects it's one of his classmates. I don't think so though. We recieved prank calls from his friends before, but after a few calls, and a prank call of my own (called them back with a falsetto voice, haha), they stopped. This one, though, is really persistent. I think maybe that idiot got a wrong number. Maybe he thinks he's calling some company.

Oh speaking of "calling some company", before we switched to a Starhub landline, our home phone number really resembled Westlake's, a restaurant. We used to occaisionally get phone calls for reservations, haha. I always planned to pretend that we were Westlake, and 'take down' their reservation for fun the next time they called, but I never went through with it. Didn't dare to, haha. Always ended up saying "you've got the wrong number".

Anyway, I don't mind the occasional prank call. But this person Idiot is going too far. I don't want to use my phone to spam sms, 'cos that idiot probably doesn't know my handphone number, but I'm gonna find other ways to torment that caller. Like using a payphone without inserting any money, so the call will end once the person answers. I mean it. Bring it on. No one prank calls me repeatedly and gets away with it. So there.

Watch this post for an edit with that number. Help me call that idiot too!
EDIT: Well, it seems after this day (23rd), he stopped calling. So I won't post the number here. But if he starts calling again...

Been feeling really tired the whole day for the past few weeks. Maybe it's cos I haven't been getting enough exercise... what with all the skipping of training (of ALL the trainings). Especially tired today. Dunno why. I know cough syrups can make you feel drowsy (they never really affected me though), but can Chinese medicine cause drowsiness? haha, probably not. I've been taking this 'white powder' for my cough. It's quite effective... but it doesn't last. I start coughing again the next day.

And speaking of my coughing... I think I've been coughing for quite a few months already. It's probably just some dry/allergic cough, nothing serious. I'd better go see a doctor though...

Anyway, the Chronicles of Narnia movie is opening tomorrow. I still haven't read the book yet though. Not even started. I don't even have the book. Maybe I should go borrow one from the library...

Oh man. It's already 21st Dec. 10 more days left to the holidays. 12, actually, counting 1st and 2nd Jan. I was looking forward to school a few weeks back... but now I'm beginning to dread the start of a new school year again. Work, work. Can't slack for whole days anymore once the holidays are over...

Oh yeah! It's finally over (piano recital). I played quite well, I think. I still made a few minor mistakes here and there, but I didn't stop at all. Phew! The duet wasn't as good as when we were practicing though...

Just before it was my turn for the solo, I could actually feel my heart thumping like mad! When I got up there, I almost froze. but then I remembered the starting notes and I got to playing.

Well it's finally over. Actually, I don't really feel a sense of relief that it's all ended. Dunno why. I feel some sort of regret... Hm... Like I didn't really do my best, or I missed something. That's just me I guess. I always feel like that after something that I've worked hard for ends. I don't have this sense of accomplishment.
EDIT(20th): Oops. I did forget something. I forgot to say goodbye to my teacher after the performance. It all happened very fast. The emcee ended the concert, then we all took a "group" photo, and then I just talked to an old friend for a while when I spotted my aunt and then took off. Hm... Wonder what I was thinking...

Very tired. Gonna sleep early.

EDIT (20th): Yep, I did play the songs too fast. Just had lesson today. My teacher thought so too. According to her, that was the "biggest problem". Most of the students also played too fast. I guess the nerves got to us. The whole thing was supposed to last 2 hours. From 7 to 9. It ended just a few minutes past 8. Oh well. Still quite a success.

Only TWO more hours. Two more hours and I'll be at the auditorium already, with the rest of the students, preparing for the recital. Aargh. Am I nervous? No, I'm not. I'm not nervous. I can't be nervous. I won't be nervous. I WILL NOT be nervous!!! ...Please?

Gonna take a shower, then I'm gonna change into the crappy clothes I have to wear. I like the shirt though. Nice colour. Of course, the long sleeves negates any 'plus points' for the shirt.

Feeling very sleepy. I hope I don't get too drowsy during the performance...

I think I'll have to forego dinner. I have to be there by 6 and it ends at 9. Unless I eat before, but that means I have to eat now, 'cos I'm taking the bus, so have to leave at 5. But I don't feel hungry now. Maybe I'll just have something light. Hopefully hunger will not affect my performance.

"Yesterday... All my troubles seem so far away... Now it seems as though they're here to stay, oh I believe, in Yes-ter-day..."

^^ Nothing to do with how I feel, lol. Just the lyrics to the song I'm playing...

Just came back from the 'rehersal' for tomorrow's piano recital. Saw most of my teacher's other students. Haha, I didn't know I was one of the tallest... But most of them are younger than me, I think. Anyway... most of them played quite well. Some not so well, and Ms Kwong asked those to practise a lot tomorrow. Everytime I heard that, I said to myself, "better play perfectly afterwards".

But I didn't. The duet- sigh... I played normally for most parts... but stumbled a lot in a later section. I didn't know we were supposed to play that fast. Oh well.. practise, practise.... Or maybe I should tell my partner to slow down...

After a not so encouraging duet performance... I was looking forward to redeeming myself in my two solos. But I didn't. I played Yesterday too fast (no wrong notes or stopping, luckily), and I sort of stopped at the climax of the second piece. Sigh...

I'm sure I wasn't that nervous... not as nervous as during the practical exams, I'm sure. Maybe it's 'cos it was cold. Maybe...

About the rest of the students... my teacher arranged the performances in increasing order of 'skill', I think. I'm one of the last few. I wasn't really very impressed with those who performed before me... but the few who were after me- WOAH. Damn pro. I wonder if I'll ever reach that level. I just can't imagine myself playing pieces like that, haha.

More bad news- I have to wear a tie tomorrow. Ms Kwong said it's 'cos my shirt is a plain solid colour, with no pattern. Aargh. Tie. Dammit. I'm not that sure about long sleeved shirts, but TIES- I've definitely never worn one in my whole life. I just hope wearing long sleeves and a tie won't affect my performance...

To do list for tomorrow:
Practise
Practise
Practise
Practise
repeat from top.

I've just become addicted to sniffing. No, no glue. Soap. We just switched to a different kind of handwash soap, the one at the sink in the toilet. It smells nice. And it's quite strong too, so after washing my hands with it the smell stays with my hand. It started as a quick whiff of my hand, you know... just to see how the new soap smelled. Then I couldn't stop smelling my own hand. Of course, my hand wasn't stuck to my nose the whole time... but I kept occassionally bringing my hand up to my nose to smell it.

Apparently, the name of the scent is "Sea Breeze", according to the label on the bottle. Interesting name... but I don't see how a real 'sea breeze' could smell anything like that. Anyway, the "Sea Breezes" all smell different for different brands of soap. The name's just a marketing ploy I guess.

There also a 'Citrus' smelling soap. It's... tangy (hence citrus). But I still prefer "Sea Breeze". Smells... comforting, somehow. Maybe the "Aromatherapy" on the label isn't just a fancy name, haha.

Still smelling my hand, by the way. Ahhhh....

Ok, enough about soap. TWO DAYS. Two days left to the piano recital. The rehersal's tomorrow. I played quite well during my practice today, I think. I hope. But that's not all I'm worrying about. Another problem- clothes. Aargh. My teacher insists I wear a long-sleeved shirt. I thought, ok, fine... long sleeve, no problem. But I don't have any long-sleeved shirt. I've never worn a long-sleeved shirt before! ...Or have I? Not that I can remember anyway. So I'm gonna wear one of my dad's old shirts. It looks quite nice. Some kind of pale orange. But long sleeves! Aargh.

So, I finally went to the exhibition. Haven't been to the Science Centre in a while. I was surprised at the number of small/young children there. I guess the Science Centre really is a place for 'kids to play'. Managed to get a Child ticket. Well, they did state (3-16 yrs). I'm not lying about my age or anything.

Anyway, I was kinda looking forward to the exhibition. In the end, it turned out quite good... though it wasn't as grand as I expected. I was hoping for more 'props' though. Didn't really take much photos. And just yesterday I was wondering if I had enough space on my memory cards or if my camera battery would last. Oh well. It was still worth it.

Some of the props looked really... real. Some were... plastic-y. Although I was sort of surprised at how BIG everything was. R2D2, for one, was really tall! I thought he would be smaller. It seemed so in the movie. And all the models of characters from the movies looked really tall too. I know I'm not very tall myself... but why was everyone in Star Wars like 1.8? And the faces... aargh. Couldn't they just add a bit of colour, or make a coloured impression of the character? It seemed like they just used regular mannequins and put the costumes over.

Hm... am I complaining too much? I did enjoy the exhibition.... Those were just some 'minor' problems. And oh, it got quite cold. Probably 'cos very few people were in the mini-theatre where they showed the Making Of documentaries, and the air-con was on at full blast. Come to think of it... there were very few people around at the whole exhibition! I thought there'd be more people... maybe everyone else went already. Haha, it's probably gonna be deserted almost the every day next year.

Oh, and there was this Vader 'voice altering' thingy. It looked quite fun. Doesn't really work though. "Luke, I am your father" came out more like static than actual words I think. Maybe I wasn't saying it right. And there was also this "Force Mind Power" thing. Wearing this 'headband' with attached sensors, you're pitted against someone, and you have to get this ball towards away from you using "calm" thoughts. I thought I'd be able to manage that. Tried feeling sleepy, haha. It nearly worked! The ball rolled almost all the way to the other end! Maybe I got too excited then. The ball started rolling back to me. I saw Natalie (my opponent, haha) was closing her eyes, so I tried that. After a long while, it rolled back. To me. I'm quite sure I 'cleared my mind' though. Anyway, we tried the opposite, "feeling excited", to get the ball to move towards you. I wasn't the one laughing the entire time, but somehow I was more 'excited', haha. Or I just have more brainwaves, lol.

I'm really tired. Reaaallly tired. 5 hours at an exhibition really takes a toll on you. I only realised I was that tired when I got back from home for a while, had dinner then watched TV. I almost couldn't get up. Dozing off on the sofa! And that was one hour ago- I was feeling sleepy at 8 plus! Wahh.

I may post some pictures tomorrow. Though I don't think I got anything good. No flash is hard. Everything you take becomes blurr. I did get a good shot of some Yoda artwork though. Grevious too. Tomorrow. If I remember.

Zzz.

Oh, yeah! Just watched King Kong. It a GREAT movie! It's got everything, man. Action (loads of it), drama (the movie is about a movie, lol), and the lot! There's even a part that made me feel more sad than the supposedly "very emotional" part in HP4! Ok, maybe not more sad. I can't really remember that "death of some guy" part in HP4 already.

Go watch it people! One word of caution: DO NOT get a medium (or larger) beverage for the movie, or you'll regret it. I know I did. Usually I can wait until the movie ends before I go to the toilet. But this was a THREE HOUR long movie! I got really uncomfortable in the third hour. Almost wanted to leave halfway to get to the toilet. Luckily the movie was exciting enough to keep me in my seat.

Still, great movie. It's not really one that I'd like to watch again and again though... Hm... or maybe I wanna... or maybe not. Dunno.

Well. On a non-Kong note, I think I'm getting lousier at playing my pieces. And the recital's on Monday. Sigh. It's always like that. Not for recitals I mean- it's my first ever- but for situations like this. Like before my piano exams. I play very well in the weeks before the exam, but then jsut a few days before, I start playing one wrong note here, and miss a few notes there.... Aargh. I really hope I don't get nervous. Gotta practice more.

Spent (most of) the day at Alvin's house. Haven't been there in a long time. Tried the piano out. It's really out of tune! I mean, I know pianos can get out of tune- mine was a little out 'cos I forgot to get a tuner for 1 and a half years, but the one at Alvin's was REALLY OUT OF TUNE! All the notes were one semitone lower! Serious! No kidding. How'd I know that? Well, I don't have a 'perfect ear', but there was a "tuning pipe" thingy (whatever it's called), which you blow to make a sound. E on the 'pipe' corresponded to F on the piano! Wth. Anyway, it still sounded ok, 'cos every note (or at least all the notes I used) was one semitone lower. I think.

Anyway, spent most of the time playing 2 player PS2. It's quite boring when I keep trashing Alvin and Lok Fung, haha. Ok, I'm not that pro. I lost a few times. Maybe once or twice. Or thrice. Or quite a lot of times. Well, let's just say I had my fair share of losses.

Well, tomorrow's yet another piano lesson. The final one before the piano recital. Oh man, I just realised that the recital's next Monday!!! That's less than a week away! Aaargh. I just hope I don't get nervous. Wait, I already am. Aargh.

Gonna watch King Kong tomorrow. It's THREE HOURS (and fifteen minutes) long!!! Wth. But it's not that surprising, seeing that the director is Peter Jackson, the one behind the three super long Lord of the Rings movies. Gave up hope for a 6M gathering already. No one wanted to help me organise/contact people. Anyway, it's too late already. Some are overseas, and I think maybe some already have plans to watch King Kong. Like me, haha. There's still Chronicles of Narnia though. Anyone?

Oh yeah! Finally! After FORTY days into the holidays, I have FINALLY been able to sleep past 10am! Slept non-stop until 10.55 today. Of course, I slept real late last night (or morning). But usually no matter what time I go to bed, I always wake up at 7-8. So I usually don't sleep late, or I won't get enough sleep. I think it could be 'cos usually the Sun shines through the windows. It gets real hot and bright. No Sun today. Hm.... maybe. Close the curtains? Nah, too troublesome. Anyway, I've managed to break the 10am barrier. It's about time too. Only 3 weeks left to the holidays.

Hm... 3 weeks. I haven't really done much these past 40 days. But the following few days are gonna be packed. Piano recital, SW exhibition (haven't gone!), and invasion of Alvin's house (!).

So anyway, next target: Sleep until 12pm! Or maybe not. If I do that, I'll have to start eating lunch at 3pm and dinner at 8. That's not good.

Damned wisdom tooth teeth. I'm supposed to have had all of them (four) removed by the end of the holidays. But it's already December, and I haven't even consulted the doctor/surgeon that my dentist referred me too. I guess I won't be able to do it by this holidays. Anyway, it hasn't hurt for quite some time now.

But I always thought the Op wouldn't be so bad. Lok Fung just had one removed. Found out from him that the Op isn't pain at all. Of course, there's anaestathia. But I heard from him that it's the DAYS FOLLOWING the op that it'll hurt. And apparently, it hurts A LOT. Sigh... And I'm gonna have to get FOUR removed. Ouch. I can almost feel the pain already. You'd better not be lying Lok Fung. Or maybe you just have a low threshold for pain. haha.

And apparently, there's alot of bleeding post-op too. Sigh...

Dunno when I'm gonna get my wisdom teeth removed. Maybe next June holidays. If it can wait that long, that is.

Ouch.

Almost forgot to blog. Played too much Neopets, so I went bowling today (or rather, yesterday) to balance all the, er... "childishness". I thought it'd fun to bowl anyway. I was aiming to beat my personal best of 118.

And boy did i beat it.

The screen was very dark. So the image isn't that clear. My score's on the bottom row.

Anyway, I got a turkey! Three strikes in a row! And I got a strike before the turkey too! Woohoo! I couldn't believe my luck. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE. Improved my personal best by 33! It's a shame I did so badly for the last 3 frames. Otherwise I could've hit 170+. Oh well. 151's already a big achievement.

My next two games weren't that good though. 94, then 97. Well, at least I'm improving. Next step: hit 200! haha. It'll probably never happen though. I'm just a casual bowler. And btw, i rarely get past 100. Usually around 80. That's why I'm absolutely THRILLED about 151.

Note: I am not lying/joking. I DID get a turkey. Neither was it a machine error. I was just pro/lucky. So there.

Aarghh. I can't believe it. Both my pets lost 2 two different people today. One lost in 3 turns. The other lost in ONE FRIGGIN TURN. One hit KO. Wth. I can't even play Neopets right. Lol.

Currently both my pets have 0 hp...

Haha, not acting my age. But it's fun.

And I WILL have my revenge! Eventually. They will see...

I stayed home most of the time today. But it wasn't as boring as most other stay-at-home-days previously. 'Cos I got Neopets! LOL. Ok, I didn't really play much. Just battled rongytherongster one more time, that's all. And well, I did browse around for an hour or two. And I did buy some stuff. Equipment for my pet. Ok, fine. I played a lot of Neopets. But I'm not ashamed of it! I play PS2 too you know. Just that today I didn't really feel like continuing Dragon Quest VIII.

And I got a Charlotte Church song. O.o Never really liked her. Dunno why. I just don't like her. Not her songs. Her. Anyway, that song I got isn't really good. It's just very high, haha. Not the mood. The tune. It's reaaall high, the song. "The Laughing Song". Well, that song really did make me laugh, so... lol.

Anyway, it's been quite a good day. Just one thing. This slight pain that's been around in my jaw since a month or two ago. I think it's the wisdom tooth teeth again. Dammit. I'm supposed to make an appointment during these holidays to remove all 4 of 'em. Sigh. Wonder how long I can wait, haha.

Went for dinner at some restaurant called "The Buffet". The second "f" is supposed to be inverted, but the name's still a little weird. And the hotel that housed "The Buffet" is called The M Hotel. Lol. Anyway, it isn't a typical restaurant. The best way to describe it would be a "high class Seoul Garden".

At Seoul Garden, for those who don't know, you get to take as much raw food as you want and cook it yourself on the hot plate or soup at your own table. I only went there once. 4K (compulsory/forced) gathering this year. All I rememeber is that I ate a lot, felt very uncomfortable after eating a lot, and burped a lot (that relieved the uncomfortable....ness. Can't remember the noun) . And that was the day I first played bowling. The 6M gathering early last year doesn't count, 'cos I didn't bowl. All I did was sit and watch. Speaking of that gathering, I found out that Galven blogged about it last year. His post included a list of the people who turned up. And my name wasn't in the list. WTH. Bloody Galven.

Hm... I went off-track. Ok, back to "The Buffet". Unlike Seoul Garden, at "The Buffet", there's only soup. But there are two kinds. Chicken and Tom Yam. And I think maybe the food was of better "quality". Maybe. 'Cos I didn't feel uncomfortable after the dinner. And there were some dessert stuff too. Seoul Garden only had crappy ice-cream. Or maybe it was the nice ambience. Made me eat slower and less. Anyway, I just discovered how tasty half-cooked broccoli is. But I did dip it into the chicken soup, so maybe that made it better tasting.

Towards the end of dinner, the waitress knocked over my glass. It seemed as if everything suddenly went slo-mo, haha. I saw the water come out of the glass, then it almost reached the table when I suddenly realised what was happening, and jumped out of my seat. The water still got me, but it wasn't so bad. It's just water, anyway.

So anyway, I'm never going back to Seoul Garden, but I don't mind dinner or lunch at "The Buffet" again. Of course, I haven't factored in the price. Adding the price into consideration, I wouldn't go back to both again. But I didn't pay at "The Buffet" anyway. It was a dinner with my relatives.

Oh man, this whole post is all about food and bloody galven. LOL. Should I start posting about philosophical stuff? Hm........... Nah. Crap is good. And easier to write.

Ok, I know how old I am. I'm going JC next year, I know. But I guess I'm just bored. Started playing Neopets again.

Actually, I can't really say "started". I've been playing it all along. Just the stockmarket part. Trying to hit 1 mil. neopoints since last year. I'm almost there. Anyway, so now I'm just branching out. Played a few (I mean a FEW) games. Battled at the battledome, lol. Lost to rongytherongster. I just realised they changed meerca chase a little, btw. They made it harder.

It seems different. Neopets. I remember last time (meaning a long time ago) I was very excited at earning neopoints, training my pets, playing meerca chase, my favourite game (in neopets). And I also remembered playing a particular neopets game for almost 4 hours straight. Codebreakers. Lol. I thought if I racked up a very high score I'd get a lot of neopoints. After almost 4 hours though, I only got 1000NP. Turned out they put a cap on the NP you can earn, haha. I was pretty good at codebreakers. I made it to the top scores. But that was long ago. I don't have that kind of crazy patience and stupid determination anymore. Yet I'm still playing neopets. Yes. I am. For what? For fun, maybe.

Still haven't been to the Star Wars exhibition. Now I don't really feel like going anymore. But I wanna get that (limited edition) book. So I have to go. Huh? What am I saying? Of course I wanna go to the exhibition...! Something's not right with me. Maybe that's why I'm getting interested in Neopets again, lol.

EDIT: Wahaha! I just won rongytherongster in a rematch! Sweet revenge, lol.

Dunno why, but it's really windy today. I was just enjoying the wind when it started drizzling. Shame...

At one point the rain almost fell horizontally! haha. Now it's only 45 degrees. The rain, not the temperature.

Anyway, just at home playing. I really should get to watching the 6 episodes of Star Wars, then go to the exhibition...

EDIT: hey, the rain only lasted for a short while. The wind's still blowing! Ahhh...
