Sony Ericsson T610

Got my Sony Ericsson T610 from Far East Plaza for $695. After trading my Nokia 7210 and 8250, and $150 from my mom, I paid $175. Lunch at renovated Hans; I'd missed their black pepper steak.

Bruce Almighty

Bought my June bus concession stamp, expecting plenty of travel for FYP. Got Bruce Almighty tickets at Cathay Orchard before wandering Orchard. The fourth-level renovation at Heeren is done, shops now open, including reopened PK Computers.

Basketball Day

Checked my results last night: sad, no distinctions, though I expected it; none of these modules were my cup of tea. Went to school early for basketball, then to ICT to check grades offline, but nothing.

Damm Drilling Noises

Woken again by that damn drilling noise before noon, either the same house or another being renovated. Mom brought back a McDonald's Big Breakfast, which I hadn't had in ages. Lian came online after days MIA.

The Matrix Reloaded Third Time

Watched the Making of The Matrix Reloaded early afternoon: fantastic, with so much pre-production effort. It drives home how hard films are to make; thousands of people must be involved. Went to celebrate a classmate's birthday.

Baby Cousin 1 Year Old

To the Scotts area to buy my baby cousin's birthday present, my mom, brother and I tagging along with grandmother. Lunch at Scotts food court; the Korean claypot rice was lovely, better than the Chinese version.

Long Queue For Kuey Chap

Slept till 2pm for the first time these holidays. Saturdays boring if you stay in. Spent the afternoon on my Inventory System, integrating with a simple layout. The webpage is easy; the thinking process takes time.

Merchant Court Dinner

Met Lian at Bishan MRT; Junction 8 was packed even on a weekday, so their promotion paid off. Plenty of shops have changed since my last visit: Seiyu has taken over Daimaru, and NTUC the Daimaru supermarket.

Warm Weather

No idea what's gone wrong with weather: warm and humid, you need to shower twice a day or feel sticky. Crap weather. I wish it would snow in Singapore; in nineteen years I've never seen snow.

Peaceful Morning Finally

Finally a peaceful morning's sleep; they've started drilling in the afternoon now, which beats the mornings. When they drill, I blast my music back. Evil laughter. Spent the afternoon on mobile forums and my inventory system.

Noisy Morning IV

The damn noise woke me at 9am, though I lingered till 11, short on sleep. Idiots. This time it was hammering, not drilling. Turns out the unit behind me is being renovated; tomorrow's likely the same.

Noisy Morning III

Woken at 11am by that stupid drilling from downstairs again. I hate being roused by irritating noises; they get on my nerves. My dad later explained they're levelling the floor to stop still water from collecting.

Free Swatch watch

Short on sleep lately, so I slept till 2pm. Lunch the famous lor mee from Amoy Street my parents brought back, not my thing; I prefer my downstairs coffeeshop's. Spent the afternoon coding my inventory system.

The Matrix Reloaded Again

Home afternoon coding my inventory system. Checked cheapest Sony Ericsson T610 at $708, $91 more than My Sony's pre-sale price. Something's fishy; I wonder if the warranty's the shop's or Sony Ericsson Singapore's. Watched Matrix Reloaded.

The Matrix Reloaded

Woke at 10am, my earliest since the holidays began, and rushed to Marina Square to collect my Matrix Reloaded tickets before meeting the #pixel.junkies crowd at 11.30. Nine of us had the Seoul Garden BBQ buffet.

Went shopping for my classmate's birthday present at Ngee Ann City, Heeren and Paragon, grabbing some things: a Talking Cock VCD for $9.95 at HMV and a handphone pouch from Annex, handy for a camera phone.

New Keyboard

Bugis with Lian, lunch at Swensen's courtesy of my M1 $40 voucher. Realised after ordering that my set came with soup, coffee and ice cream, so I couldn't finish the other one. The bill was $4-plus.

Badminton

Went to school to play badminton at Sports Hall with my poly mates. It was open, though packed with every court full. Played till 3pm, shattered; my stamina's dropped from little exercise, I need to train.

Mothers’ Day

Woke early for Mother's Day dim sum brunch at Lei Garden with my mom's side. We arrived to queue for registration despite our booking; last year we came late and waited an hour for a table.

X-Men 2

Watched X-Men 2 at GV Marina yesterday; nice, better than the first. Sad that Dr Jean died at the end, though my brother says she'll become Phoenix next time. I can't stand the cinema Ah Sohs.
