Right, I'm back!Big stuff; I GOT MY NEW COM! Like, finally man. That old one was finding all sorts of ways and means to screw me. It's as if it knew its time was up and decided, 'Right, I'm gonna fuck you as bad as I can before I go. Go out with a bang!'. Damn sonuvabitch. One by one things started to die. CD-Drive inexplicably conked out, DVD-Drive playing the fool, and all sorts of various other things.I got Vista on my new machine, and the layout, I have to say, looks real sweet. Like, all classy and shit man. Awesome. It's visibly more powerful than my old one too (of course). I got a couple of new games to go with it too, and still have some money lying about. The good thing is, this money isn't my savings or my parents' money or anything like that. Them's all money I got from ang baos and for my birthday, which are events from months ago. Y'see, I don't spend much, and definitely not on a regular basis, but when I do, it's quite alot. Lol.Anyway I've still got leftover, so maybe I'll look out for another game or so. That said, maybe I should get a little bit more money and then, combined with this current amount, go get a Nintendo DS. It's all about gaming baby. LOLBut I'm serious, that's a plan worth considering. I'll see what's what then.Well, not much else to say. I've just been slacking around at home the past few days. Need this alone time, you know? Especially after a busy first 2 weeks or so of the holidays. Well, till next time then.Anonyman!

Wow, it's been awhile (again).Just realised I haven't posted since the day after the end of the O Levels. Life's been quite packed since then. I'm just afraid that soon I'll run out of things to do, haha.Let's see then... Of course the first thing was the class chalet. Not that much footy was played, and the chalet can't exactly be classified under 'fun', although it was good in its own ways. Learnt a new card game, pretty good one at that too, but for some reason I doubt I'll be able to play it much in the future, mainly cos cards aren't really my thing and it's never the first idea to surface when there's nothing to do and I'm with friends. But we'll see. Did a lot of talking with Xun Hao at night. The room was so small and cramped, it's almost a small storeroom. Of course, it's all about relativity, but nevertheless, small. As such the two of us decided to hang out by the pool, on the deck chairs. Talked about a myriad of subjects, and we were joined later by some of the other guys who found the room too cold to sleep in.Next day we went back to school for the PAE thing. Nothing much, just telling us how to apply and the deadlines and also to give us a booklet full of info. I haven't read it yet. LOL. But it's okay, I can't go anywhere with my score anyway, so it doesn't matter. Just gonna wait for my O Level results then we'll see what's what.Spent the next few days with Eugene and James. Most of the time I've had in the hols so far has been spent with them. Band camp was up next. Dropped in on the first day and didn't do much. 2nd day, I stayed over. The usual suspects were there; Jiahao, Daryl, Cheng Song etc etc. Played DotA (they brought 2 laptops and managed to link up the band room com too) for shit's sake. Up till now I can still only use Sniper to any effect, lol. Never mind, it's a good game but too repititive for my taste. I only fell asleep at around 5am, using one of those little soft footballs as a pillow, lol. I actually woke up about an hour or so later, when some band members came in to get some stuff. Couldn't fall asleep after that so I just walked around outside for abit before playing some mindsweeper on the band room computer before telling James that I was going off. He decided to come as well, as did Eugene, and we went to have breakfast before heading back home to get a good sleep.That evening was the Alumni band practice; basically just sight-reading some pieces. We sounded alright, I guess. Dinner was pretty farcical, the buffet was mis-ordered to the next day so the teachers pulled some last minute capers and managed to order a whopping number of pizzas and Pepsi. Fucking crazy load of food (there was also some mee hoon and roti john, as well as satay) and I was stuffed. Pretty good food, I think, but feels abit weird after expecting a buffet, you know? HahahaWell I guess that brings us to yesterday, which was prom night. The whole affair, not really my kind of thing, but the food was alright (unbelievably small portions though, sheesh) and the company made it worthwhile. After the main stuff was over the same three guys went to Lau Pa Sat for supper, none of us were full. Had some pretty alright food, though the stingray's chilli was kinda... well, not too good.Shi Kai 'joined' us later. Rather, he just came by in his cab and we took it back to my place. Shi Kai went back home after that, and the other guys stayed over at my place, playing games for the whole night before we all fell asleep for about 2 hours before waking up to go for breakfast together. Quite similar to the night we stayed over at the band room, huh. Lol.I slept real long after I got back home, 7-odd hours to be exact. Freakin' knackered, I was. Well, I got up after that and just played some games and stuff. Some of the band guys were going to a Lan shop but I wasn't interested. Just chilled out at home, and here I am now, blogging about it all. Just came off watching Kung Fu Hustle on AXN, lol. Not that funny but it was nice to watch, at any rate.Well, I think I might be working out details for my new com tomorrow with Boon. Till next time then, here's Alison Moyet with Invisible.
