Trip to Gundam Expo

Travel all the way from Choa Chu Kang to Sengkang on saturday. First time ever, Gundam Expo is being held in Singapore. Thanks dear chu rou for accompanying me there. I think she was quite bored there.
Actually, I wasn't very excited about going there but when I reach, that is a different story already. First thing that greet me was a 2m tall 00 gundam. Whoo hoo. A lot of event exclusive was on sale there. Clear 1/144 00 raiser, kyrios and archer, chorome plated exia, clear parts Master grade Destiny. Wanted to buy MG desinty clear version as I thought it was really cheap. Normal MG exia costs about $80 after 20% off there, but the event exclusive clear Exia costs only $90. Just $10 more. End up I didn't buy as the stock only arrives on Monday, sighs.
Anyway, I brought 1/144 chrome plated exia for $36.95. Paid and after walking aroun d for a while, I couldn't resist and went back to buy Gundam RX-78-2 30th edition scale 1/144 for 1/144. Wasn't going to buy RX78-2 at first as this version cannot transform into core slpendor. But, it is a replcia of the scale 1:1 RX78-2 statue in Japaan. So, must buy right?
Dear help me ask the cashier if we can combine the two receipts in order to hit $50 to get a bandai Recycle bag and a lucky draw ticktes. So nice of her. We went to watch G-force after that. Thought it was quite boring. Action? Nope. Humor? Nope. Story? nope.

Played badminton today using my new string. I do not know if it is because I didn't sleep enough or I still not used to the string, I actually miss quite a few shots. What more, my shots were not as powerful as the old string. Must be because of the enw tension, I guess. After badminton, Wnagxin dragged me and huiru to accomapny him for dinner. Huiru and me were supposed to just accompany him but in the end we went Xing'x cafe. Spending $30 enitled us to 20% discount. So in the end, as wangxin need to reach $30. huiru and me end up ordering food too. I ate the claypot rice. There were so many chinese sausages inside that I was actually fidning it a bit too salty.

Then, I went lot 1 to meet my parents for dinner. And I ate again. 2 meals in 2 hours. Oh dear. I am going to do some sit-ups now.:p

Fast fast thursday

If you want me to describe today to you, I would use the word"blitz". I woke up at 6.30am. reach school at around 8.20am. Leave school at 11pm, reach home at 12noon. Watch Tv until 1pm then I got tired and lie on the bed and sleep all the way until 5.30pm. Half the day passed with me not knowing. HAIZ.
Anyway, got quite a few tasks done just now, watching TV and doing work at the same time.
The no-caffine routine is really killing me. I feel so tired everyday. I cannot drink coffee, cannot drink tea, cannot drink horlick nor milo. I drank instant Liang Cha in the morning, can you believe this? No milk as I cannot drink cold stuff in the morning. I vulnerable to "cold" during the morning.
Then mum ask me not to drink Liang Cha in the morning also as too much Liang Cha is not good for guys as it will make their balls big. What the heck.
Somebody, or anyone, please tell me what I can drink?

3rd day of the week is wednesday

Went to school in my sandal today because I was rushing for time..Haha, actually deep down, I would prefer to wear relaxing clothes to school everyday.

Meet tony in the late afternoon to restring my racket. Was disappointed to see limited color and types of string availiable in the shop at bradell that I always go to. There only the normal purple, blue, and worse, white. White is a color that I would never ever string. There is only one red colored string but it is a BG65 string. BG65 is 0.70 mm thick. So no way I going to use that string. What more, the uncle's father seems to be in a very bad mood, first time I saw him like that. He was always smiling, and so fatherly. I think he might still remember us the last time when wangxin really piss him off real big time. This remind me of the fishhead bee hoon stall which I went yesterday. The stall owner there really got serious attitude problem.
Anyway, after my "bu yao lian" probing, I managed to make the uncle "dig" out his all other string. In the end, I choose a black BG66 Sharp string. Wanted BG80 nanology but there is only red for that string. Weird thing is, the uncle put back all the nice colored string into the drawer hidden from sight. It is as if he did not want to sell them. So funny.
Met up with wangxin again after that at AMK hub to watch Final destination in 3D. What can I say, the 3D effects was good but the scence was absolutely gory and distasteful. CLosed my eyes for many scenes. The way the writer make the character die is really tsk tsk tsk. Wangxin seems to enjoy it a lot. I can only say that he is sick. Edmund was ok while tony feel almost like me too about this movie.
Lesson tomorrow at 8.30am, groans..

P/s: Ate my first bak choy mee with chilli and pepper. Felt a bit guilty.

Day 2 of the week

Went for my first Economics lesson today. Almost reach late. Not that I left my house late but two 199 drove past me full. Wait, they were not full but rather the people inside did not have the basic courteousy of moving in. As a result, a few fustrated nie trainees were struck at a stupid bus stop which were so near to the school but yet so far to reach.

I am the only person in the class taking mathematics as my CS2. I think my tutor wasn't quite pleased about it. She feels that Economics is something where you can relate more to our everyday life but not mathematics. I beg to differ. In my view, mathematics is like the foundation on almost everything that we have. We need mathematics for physics, engineering, accounting and so on. Even for Economics, there are a lot of mathemtaics involved, tools that can be used to prove certain theory. For example, the concept of convexity can help us explain the concept of opportuniy cost, increasing marginal return and things which is beyond my understanding. Game theory to understand how firms will react to their competitors.

Sadly, after 4 years of sturdying economics, I will still get struck at somewhere in my specialty. Many concept, theories that I am still not clear about, or discard as time goes by in my journey. I remember beiong ask by one lecturer to define "Full Employment" and it turn out that I do not know how and so does the entire class.

Anyway, my group leader is absent today again. It is so funny that two of my group member still do not know who she is or how she looks like.

A good chance to talk less

Had this sore throat for like 8months. Its was tormenting. I would wake up almost each and every morning, not by my alarm but from the pain in the throat. Apparently, during the night when I sleeps, the throat would get dry and hence, the pain.
I finally decide that I could not take it anymore and went to a private doctor last saturday. And the truth is, my throat was okay but it seems that I have damage my vocal chord from all the screaming in the KTV last year end when I would desperately scream like a rocker wannabe in the KTV imitating Shen Mu Yu Tong aka Y2J. Well, the advice for me is to talk less, speak softer and No coffee, tea or anything acidic, sour, spicy blah blah blah. The no coffee and chilli part is really killing me softly as I am typing now. Where the joy in life when I cannot eat chilli.
Worse thing is that Churou doesn't know what to do and so do I. You see, we would talk on the phone every night before we go to bed. So imagine when we were trying to converse on the phone and I wasn't allow to speak much or if not nothing? She wasn't very receptive towards this but she know that I really really need to rest my throat or rather, my vocal chord. It is a rather big dilemna for her.
I met shu ning on the way to school today and she mention to me that shu xi got it worse than me. Shu xi just woke up one fine day unable to speak. And even after her throat recover, she couldn't speak as her brain had forgotten how to do it and she had to go for some speech therapy thingy.
Had a rather quiet day in school today with just one lesson. I finally brought a new bag from some shop call Graphite in bugis junction. Yong jing say its a pote bag. I not sure but its one of those bag where you can wear it as a sling bag or you can carry the handle or slinging your arm in the handle. Hard to describe. But when mum and dad first saw it on the sunday morning in the wee hour of 7am, I could hear them discussing on if I had brought a lady's bag in my bed with half of my soul still lost in the dreamy wonderland.

P/s:I only realise that this bag is a bit too small for me. But just as well, it will force me to travel light. Maybe I should have brought the bigger version instead.

Lost and Found

Last week was really horrible. I really lost it big big time on thursday, being unreasonable and grumpy and wangxin suffer at my hands on friday. It is weird that sometimes, I can still be so childish and be actually angry at people whom I don't really know.
I lodged a complaint about a taxi uncle who actually cheated my cab fare on saturday, but my heart went soft yesterday. What if he lost his job? I hope I did the right thing in withdrawing my complaint.
Badminton yesterday was fun with some new people that I just met. First time in a long while badminton feels really fun again. The touch of the grip in my hand, the nice sound of my string hitting the shuttlecocks and some well-executed smashes, plus all the drop-shots. I have gotten so used to my friends' playing style, thus it was refreshing to see some uncertainty on the courts. They are not as strong as edmund and maybe even wangxin's and I bet that wangxin and me can already give them a run for their money in doubles but playing with them is really enjoyable.
Had dinner with dear in the night. We order quite a lot and I ended up eating most of the food, even her share. She said it was because her appetite had grew smaller already but I figure it was because she had a late and very full lunch at 2.30pm. Haha.
