Saturday was a busy day, was out all the way from 10am to 4am. Went with LiXiang to apply for passport, to my surprise it only takes 10 minutes. Fill up the form, pay and drop it into the box and next week your passport will be ready. It is so efficient. I did inquire when we need to change our IC, and it will be 30 years old, not immediately after NS.

Met up with Jacky for a shopping trip, bought a casual long sleeves shirt from Levi’s because I have a $20 voucher, so paid $59.90. Jacky bought a pair of Levi’s jeans and 2 t-shirts, while LiXiang bought a techno CD. Was quite surprised that she also like Techno/Trance because as far as I know, other that HuiJuan and I, no one really likes techno/trance.

Had dinner last night we Jackey and Co at Newton’s Food Center. We ordered lots of food but none of them taste good, just average. Head down to Orchard later for a walk.

Today, went to Funan to collect my DVD version of Unreal Tournament 2004 from Software Boutique. I regret buying from there because I got cheated 5 bucks. It wa selling at $69.90 while PK Computer was selling for only $64.90.

Yesterday, my fucked up Internet connection disconnected 5 times. When I woke up this morning and I check my IRC log, it shows it disconnected another 5 times totally to 10 times within 24 hours. S*****b, if you are reading this please do something about your fucking Internet connection.

NONE of Singapore ISP is good. They should really wake up their fucking idea. Slow downstream and upstream speed and charge so expensive and worst of all, fucked up support.

Went to Funan yesterday because I thought UT2K4 was supposed to be launched yesterday, but who knows due to some airplane problems, shipment had been delayed to 19th March 2004 (Friday). I ordered my limited edition DVD version of the game at Software Boutique as it is the only store I know that sell the DVD version in the whole of Funan. No choice have to pay my NETS, sighz another $70 bucks gone. Can’t wait for my 3rd month pay.

Had lunch with my mom, grandmother and brother at Swensens and ate something light at Ya Kun later. I just loved Ya Kun Kaya Toast. Last time there was only 1 store at the very old Lau Pa Sat (it has already been demolished), now it has gone into franchise and thus, there are shops all over Singapore. Give the Ice Blended Tea Si Peng, Kaya Toast and Half-Boiled Egg a try. Don’t know why these days, I have been craving for half-boiled egg.

Went to Orchard yesterday. My brother bought lots of stuffs. My mom got herself a new handphone, same as mine Samsung s500. She used my grandfather line to upgrade and my grandfather took her old phone which is Nokia 7210.

We went to Suntec City for the Food Fair because my grandfather wanted to. It was extremely crowded. Carpark is full at Suntec, Marina and Millenia Walk. I suggested Esplanade’s Carpark and surprisingly it was quite empty. People ain’t as smart as me =p, just kidding. I went to the IT Fair 2004 for a while to get iSkin for my iPod and a 100 Imation CDRs. I realized that there are 3 different resellers, 1 is Apple Center, 1 is PA Mart and I have no idea what the last one is. I should get my iPod from the Apple Center, at least their plastic bag is nicer. I bought from PA Mart and they give me those wet market type plastic bag. Lessoned learned, always survey around and see where people buy from even if it is under the same brand booth.

While waiting for my hair to dry the natural way, I got nothing to do, thus shall blog.

Met up with my secondary school friends today after a month of no meet ups. Luckily today all of them are free. I don’t really like to stay at home on Saturdays unless I am very tired. The mood for staying at home is just not there.

Played with my iPod this morning, feel abit dumb because I do not know how to use it because the user manual ain’t helpful at at all, but luckily there is the Internet and there is this site called iPod Lounge.

While having lunch with my mom at Hans in Great Eastern Building saw Patricia. Didn’t know she and WeiLin is working in the same company.

Met up with my Pixel-Junkies friends, Zeus and Ownage for the IT Show 2004. We met at 11.30am and there was quite a crowd outside the hall that is waiting to be opened.

Once opened, the scene is like water going through a funnel, the bottleneck is the door as they only opened the first door at that time, but later on they opened both halls the door.

Last night was helping my friend to render some stuff in 3DS Max 6. It took me 2 hours just to render one frame in 1024 resolution. While waiting, decided to watch Stuck On You, since there are no nice TV shows at 3am in the morning.

I didn’t had a chance to catch Stuck On You in the cinemas. It was a nice show. Is very touching and heart warming show. It is about a life of a conjoint twins starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear who was joined together since birth and as they grew older, one of them wanted to get separated as they want to lead their own lives. But after being separated, they are not as happy as they thought they will be. I watched the show till 5.30am in the morning.
