Random Thoughts 14 (What's so happy and new about it?)
2007 eh?

Quick question: When you're wandering around town with a group of friends going shopping or Kboxing or whatever it is you do in town, and you see this guy walking alone with no company except his MP3 player, does anybody start to feel sorry for him, or start thinking that he's a friendless loser? Well I certainly felt like one on the 31st, cuz I had alot to do and noone to do it with. Briefly, haircut at TM, had to go buy Norton a Eastpoint cuz there's something wrong with the software update, and then went to Marina Square to see if I could get my Nano fixed. They said I had to wait for an hour for them to charge the battery and determine the problem. After an eventless hour of wandering around (which is when I started to feel really stupid) they told me that repairs plus a 3 month warranty would cost $140, and it would be better if I got a new player (at about $300+ I'd reckon) with a two year warranty. So I took back my player, mentally told the lady to go screw herself, verbally thanked her and left.

That reminds me: whenever I'm calling somone to go out and hang or anything, and they say "No", especially if they always say no, I'll end the call with "Okie, bye" and a "Fuck you" as I hang up. I wonder if anyone has heard me say that as a result of me hanging up too slowly.

So for a guy living in Tampines (technically Bedok but effectively Tampines) to go to Marina Square and achieve nothing and come back, it's an infuriating waste of time. Luckily for me, I remembered that there's a HMV at City Link Mall, so I bought a few overdue albums (including City Of Evil)
---
I think it's become official that there's something seriously wrong with my D drive, cuz I coudn't rip my songs when I got home, and I can't reinstall Half Life (I'm sick of Carbon and Sims). Aargh....

New Year's countdown found me at Jul's house, but unlike the other times I'm there, that day was totally uneventful. Maybe going to the class countdown would've been a better idea.
---
SBS was rather promt and on the ball whenit cane to charging adult fares. When I went to Jul's house on the 31st, student fare. On the way home on the 1st at 11 am, adult fare. I've been training for this and getting used to tapping my card when I alight so I wouldn't forget to do so when the adult fares kick in like some people I know.

Met Dhana, Karthik, Dinesh and Inderpal on the night of the first. Long time since I've seen them. Simpang as usual, although this time I tried the roti john cuz the prata guy was being a dick. Mushroom cheese rocks! Go try it.
Had one of those looooong chats after dinner. It's amazing, as Dhana noted, how we can "surf" conversation topics and still keep going and going. Hope I remember to settle the owling thing on Saturday with them.
---
Apparently Karthik's GPA is 3.7 (or somewere there) and Dinesh is on the Director's List (I was on the VP's Long Hair List once). And here I am fighting just to pass. Told Cheryl about one of my recurring dreams (there's more than one), the one with me getting back my results. She had those dreams too apparently, but that notion doesn't make me feel better. I've been running fallback plans through my head should I not score enough to make it to the U, including retaking during NS, the four of us opening a club, going overseas to pursue a degree while paying off my tuition fees by working as a bartender (Desmond's idea), or just going to Poly (probably the scariest o all these scary notions). I can scrap that idea of opening a Tamiya shop with Kit, cuz that craze died years ago, and that idea of opening a car upgrade/fabrication joint with Big Joe, cuz that douchebag would rather open it with his girlfriend (he'll make her do the undercarriage work).

The potluck on the 2nd at Jul's wasn't as cracked up as I thought it would be, but still not bad. Good food, too much good food, and Jul's DVD player overheated so we didn't finish the 40-year-old Virgin.

The people of Teens Connect are some of the nicest friends I'll ever have, but I'm starting to get fucking irritated with some of them. Dunno why I bother asking everyone to hang when it's always the same gang. Should just stick with them. Some whom I used to regard as good friends are now like any other friend, and over the past few months my group of good friends within the group has changed. Some seem like good friends, but they only hang with you when it's convenient for them, or when they have nobody else better to hang with, or if their significant other isn't in the country. Well fuck you.
And the other people who are fucking twisted in their heads, imature, don't give a fuck about what their true freinds or parents say, and don't seem to give a shit about the group anymore. What, you think this is a fucking chalet and you can come and go as you like? We're a legitimate church ministry and we can't affored to be bugged by the likes of you and have our reputation tarnished because of it. We leave the door open for anyone, but we don't appreciate it when you take the door and bash our noses in with it. We'll do our best to help you, but if you refuse to listen and wake up to reality then you can get fucked for all I care.

I need a job. Anyone know of a job willing to employ me for 2 months?
