# Listening to: Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi - Bouken Desho Desho-
I FINALLY GOT MY PSP SLIM!!!!!!! WOO HOOOO!!!!
Ta-da!
Oh yeah, bought the whole set with 1 yr FULL warranty and lifetime service warranty, modded, memory card (Sandisk original), casing, cable, standard accessories for $355 from Qisahn.com even though I thought of buying from TingSin. I checked 2 shops in Admiralty selling PSP and wtf, they are fulltime carrot head choppers. The same set with PIRATED memory card cost $378? No warranty. One of them had warranty but selling for $398. Like, wth?
TingSin had a similar package as Qisahn, and even though it's cheaper and comes with free games, I didn't feel secure since it did not have an address or registered company.
Anyway, I was so excited about my PSP Slim that I ordered last night before I played mahjong with Cheng En, John and Sis. Oh, and I won $16! So happy. Even though we played till 6, I didn't sleep till like 7+, cos I was happily looking for games and information on PSP maintenance. Then, I woke up at like 10+ so that I can prepare in advance to go collect my PSP! lol. Initially I ordered the white set, but feedbacks said that it turns yellow easily, so I decided to get Mint Green at Sis' suggestion. Took cab home immediately so that I can transfer games into it.
Met up with Cheng En, John, Mel, Sis and Sylvia for supposedly dinner and movie, but ended up nobody wanted to watch Indiana Jones and there weren't any other movies to watch. So we ended up at KTV and opened 2 bottles of Chivas. Everyone drank a lot and you see people talking crazy shit. Weird thing was, 5 out of 6 weren't there to sing, cos all having bad cough or sore throat, except John. Ended up, John is down with a sore throat now due to excess singing and shouting. lol.
Came back and saw 3 MSN msgs, 1 frm Qingfeng, Hannah and Zaki each. Wah it's been so long since I chatted with them, and a whole bunch of others. I realised I haven't been keeping in touch with so many people. Time to do a little fellowship bonding with my friends. =D
Damn, I'm tired. Need to wake Mel up later at 9am for her e-Learning. Endure. In the meantime I shall go play Super Robot Taisen MX. =D

# Listening to: xxxHoLiC Kei - Nobody Knows-
Before I begin..
Happy belated birthday jT! here's a post with you as the header! Honoured? Actually, I'm making up for not being able to make it for your bbq. =D
And also, happy belated birthday Leroy! Looking forward to the dinner on Wednesday! =)
Oh, Phoebe's calling for me. brb.
Alrighty, back from watching What happens in Vegas with Sis and Sylvia. Freaking cute show. lol. Ate at Shokudo Japanese Pasta. I think I probably won't go there in the near future on my own. The food is decent, but the service level makes the food taste bad. It wasn't really BAD type of bad, but it strongly discouraged me from re-visiting for a first time customer. Long rant ahead.
You get showed to your seat. Menu's there, everything set up. Normal. Now, you view the menu, the waitress walks off without saying, normal. No iced water served for the next 10 mins. Not normal. You raise your hand for 5 minutes without anyone noticing you. It happens, fair enough. You order what you order, yada yada. Waiter finally comes after 10 mins with ice water. After serving the 1st course, minus the dessert which we requested at the beginning to serve later, but they still served it first anyway, that is 20 mins later, the waitress comes over to you and says what I ordered was out of stock. Took that long to realise? Not normal. Orders another thing. After another 15 mins, get served the WRONG order. Request for a change. 5 mins later, another waitress comes over to confirm what I have ordered, waitress comes again after another 10 mins and says, 'That, is out of stock, too'. And so what took them so long to realise?
I had doubts when I heard bad review about their service level from colleagues previously, but wow, it's as real as it gets. And I got a movie to catch at 11.30pm. I get my order served at 11.15pm? Go and figure the time I sat in there waiting.
Anyway, enough of ranting. Call volume was bullshit from 4pm to 6pm. Diskarding was the word I could think of. Utterly diskarding. But things improved after that period.
I wanna get a PSP Slim! I came across Qisahn.com which was selling PSP Slim, basic set only, for $265 export set. I get mixed feedbacks. A couple said it's worth it. Some said, slightly expensive. Others said, could get better deals. A few said go for it. And now I'm all confused. Suggestions, anyone? Or recommendations?
Great Singapore Sale started, and I haven't received my credit cards yet. Grrr. Why does it take so damn long? Sis' comp is down too, it'll be good if we could our cards quick, buy a comp and put it on 0% instalments.
Sharon asked me if I had a credit card, cos she wanted to buy a Raoul top and there was a discount for Citibank. Ultimately, she gave up cos it was too expensive. lol. Indecisive girl!
Jessica is getting bullied by me at work. And she's finally picking calls! Ok, not quite, cos it's still buddy system for now. Be thankful, Anna's like one of the best supes there, really. Once you go on platform, you'll know Anna = Angel. And she knows almost everything. E.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g
I wanted to call Donald for movie today, but I called the wrong Donald. I called Donald from LSCT instead. There was bad reception and I was asking loudly, working tomorrow? working or not? oi! can hear me?!' and I realised I got the wrong guy when he said something about attachment. Shit, wrong person. lol. I got laughed at before we hung up. Old. Getting senile.
Oh, I had this wonderful cheesecake at Gelare Citylink a few days back with Sis. It was omgoishiidelicious. Here are some pictures:
Imagine the complete piece on your own. Here's a more complete picture:
And.. Bonus footage of my Phoebe =D
Ok that's all for now. Super long post. lol. I'm having sore throat. Think I'm gonna take MC.

# Listening to: Amatsuki - Casting Dice-
Ok damn, I'm sick. Like, irritatingly sick. I'm having a fever that won't subside after 2 days, a sickening bad throat and my nose sucks bad. I'm down with a flu, it seems. But I don't wanna see a doctor. Been rotting at home for the past 2 days. Argh, what a waste of my offdays. Doing nothing but sleep, sleep and sleep. Bloody hell.
No idea why, but I can't seem to embed Youtube videos on my blog. Nothing wrong with my code, but still no idea what's wrong. Anyone, give me some suggestions on what's going on?
Tomorrow's work again, and hopefully I'll be well enough to work. -crosses fingers- I wanna get my confirmation soon. Sucks if they're gonna extend my probation.
Time to get some herbal tea and dinner.

Happy Vesak Day! It's a public holiday! But I gotta go work! Oh damn!
Waiting for Sis to get ready while I blog. Supposed to meet Cheng En and Donn at 11am at Blk 630 but I think we're not gonna make it in time. =.=
I finally finished watching Honey and Clover II and I seriously didn't expect a love triangle to develop into a love rectangle?! And the 4th person was someone I least expected? omg. Twist.
Speaking of twist, this video is like pwned.
Ok Sis is out of the bathroom. Logging off.

# Listening to: Tower of DRUAGA - Swinging-
Listening to this opening theme from Tower of DRUAGA as the anime loads up in my background. Fantasy. All time favourite theme when it comes to movies, shows, novels, etc.
Watched Made of Honour with Vincent, Wanlin, Sylvia and Sis at Cine. I liked it. =D It's pretty nice, romantic and funny. Yeah, the plot's quite typical, though. But it's nice anyway.
I've got a few more addons to the list of movies I want to watch.
10 Promises with my dog. I think I'm gonna cry at that one. You don't mess with the Zohan. Adam Sandler's in it. Think that says quite a lot. Red Cliff (Chi Bi). All time favourite Chinese classic. Think that says a lot too. Prince Caspian. I'm gonna watch that on Tuesday so I'm looking forward to it. Wall.E No idea when this is out but the trailer is funny.
Work was pretty ok. There was this hell of a bitch who just ranted and shouted the moment I picked up. I'm not sure if she had a bad night with her boyfriend or something, but she just had to screw me up for almost no reason at all. Right. Anyhow, other than that, it was a peaceful day today, except for the ringing of bells. -zzzz- I swear I'm gonna tamper that bell someday. Someday.
Time to plan my finances for the next few months. Hoping to get a PSP probably in June or July and maybe an iPod towards year end. And of course, save up a decent amount as well.
Australia Uni Fair next Saturday! Or so, as I was told. Going to take a look with Sharon and hopefully find out some info about open-u degrees available locally.
Random: I'm eating an Orea Cheesecake from Gloria Jeans and it's not quite what I expected. But still decent.
After watching the trailer for 10 promises with my dog, I came home and hug Phoebe for idunnohowlong. Dammit one line made me touched.
I only live for 10 years, so let's make every moment count.
If Botox can extend lifespan instead of 'youth', I'll gladly inject Phoebe with some. -cough- I'm just kidding.
Another random note: I wanna go KTV! I'm like having withdrawal symptoms.
Time for anime. That's all for today.

# Listening to: 阿沁 李玖哲 - 记得爱-
Tired. omg what a busy day. Calls coming in non-stop. No time for a breather. My head's aching from the ringing of those damn bells. I swear I'm gonna rip those off someday.
My migraine's returning a little and hopefully it won't worsen. Time to stock up on those Panadol tablets again. Paracetamol ftw.
Was looking through the emails sent by Dr. Forday regarding job openings and I realised how rusty I am with those scientific terms. I'm forgetting terms like PCR, DNA, HPLC etc. Give me a chemical formula now and I won't know how to interpret it. This sets me thinking: should I pursue a degree in Life Sciences? or should I switch? or should I stop studying?
Honestly, science has been my interest since secondary school. Nevermind physics, but chemistry and biology was what kept me interested. But after trying out 2 lab-related jobs, I wasn't sure if I should continue on. Yeah, I was warned before I entered the Biotech field that 'hey, the jobs are repetitive and boring'. I was quite prepared for those parts, just that I never expected it to be THAT boring. And here I am, turning 24, and suddenly lost.
At one point I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted in future: finish NS, go work for a couple of years in a related field, take up a part-time degree at PSB after saving up for a couple of years, get a degree at 28 or 29, switch to a R&D job hopefully, get married, have 3 kids (2 boys, 1 girl) etc etc etc etc. Now, I'm back to square one. Oh, brother.
As I spend the next few months of my life exploring the possibilities of banking, I need to do some thinking and planning for the road ahead. Perhaps few months down the road, I'll start to gain a clearer picture. Perhaps, not.
Alternatively, I can attempt to spend all my salary buying lotery and hoping I can be the next millionaire. Then I can put all the money inside fixed deposit accounts just to earn myself some interest. If only.
With all these said... BACK TO HONEY AND CLOVER II! =D

# Listening to: Honey and Clover II - Fugainai ya-
FINALLY FINISHED WATCHING HONEY AND CLOVER! WOO HOO!
I was saying how I wasted a quarter of my day sleeping and should think of what to do. End up, I spent the entire day watching 24 episodes of Honey and Clover. And I feel good after watching it. lol. It's like watching a jdrama. Speaking of which, time to finish up a few unfinished jdrama I've been watching.
Watching Honey and Clover makes me want to fall in love. Ok this is quite gay, coming from a guy. Usually only girls will say things like this. But I don't care! lol. It's shows like this that makes you feel so... I don't how to put it. But it's just heartwarming and this and that and here and there and omfgidunnohowtodescribethisbutwtfwhocares.
Tomorrow's work again. -sigh- The thought of tomorrow is quite boring. BUT! 3 MORE DAYS TO PAYDAY! WAHAHAHAH! If my OT is processed in time, I'll be getting quite a bit more this month! -maniacal laughter-
I'll probably get a few more new shirts for work first. And save up a little. I've a little proud that I managed to save about $400 this month, considering my account is usually near empty ever since I started working last year. I think I should have an aim like Cherie: saving my 1st $10k in 1 year! Ok quite extreme. I wonder how did she do it.
Going Bintan for Offsite in July! A little disappointed that it wasn't Bangkok instead. I'm pretty sure majority chose Bangkok but still, the management probably decided on Bintan cos it's cheaper and easier to organise. Now comes the worry, whether will everyone get the slot they want, or will we be going with different batches.
Was looking through Cathay's website then realised there's a Blockbuster tier charge for movie listed under Blockbuster. And I thought they only raised the price by 50 cents for all tickets. Now they have another 50 cents for Blockbusters. Thank God I don't watch movies on weekends now, since I'm usually working.
Time to watch Honey and Clover II. -smiles-
EDITED: YES! I've updated my blogskin! Wahahaha. I think this skin quite cool. lol. Type like MS Prompt. hurhur.

# Listening to: Nothing (again?!)-
Went to wtahc Iron Man last night at Yishun with Donald, Sis and Sylvia. Then coincidentally, saw Bee Sim at Yishun interchange. She was like staring at me for a while when I saw her, then she went 'oh!' I don't think I looked any different from last month! lol
I think the effects for the show was nice. And I think Gwyneth Paltrow is.. -drool-
Went to eat prawn mee after the movie. Sis has been craving for it since last week actually and we finally had it. Reached home ard 1am and started watching Honey and Clover till 4+am.
Kinokuniya's having a 20% member discount this Fri to Sun! Hopefully they have new imports for the manga. Shall drop by before work and buy a few mangas to read. And maybe a novel or so, since I haven't read any for a long time.
omg it's 2pm and I just woke up less than 30 mins ago. Quarter of a day wasted already. -zzz- Time to think of what to do today.

# Listening to: Nothing (wtf?)-
ok, as I start to type this post, I realised I haven't listened to any new songs for a very long time. So I'm gonna expand my library of songs when I have the time. Nevermind how I'm gonna get them. -winks-
Just reached home from supper with Sis, Kelly, Claryse, Rikka and Yoga. Been a long and tiring day. 11 hours of work (ok 10, if you minus the break time) is quite tiring for me. But it's been a not-so-bad day at work. I'm gonna become a matured man, cos Kelly and Sis said that matured men are charming. lol ok forget it. I'm not cut out to be a matured-thinking person.
Call volume was manageable, with a few screwed up customers here and there. But there are a few nice ones too. Like there was this lady in her late 40s who sounded so bubbly, you can't help but feel cheered by her bubbliness over the phone. Not to mention she's really nice too.
Ever since I started working at Citibank, I've not been sleeping enough, or so I feel. The job's not that tough, but it's just the feeling that you don't have enough sleep, even though I slept like 9 hours. Crap, I can't survive without 7 hours of sleep now, compared to the 4 hours of sleep daily previously. And they say you sleep lesser as you grow older. Hmmm.
Watched Superhero movie on Wed with Donald, Sis, Sylvia, Claryse and her sister in Yishun. Corny but hilarious none the less. The farting scene is so... wtf. But it's just like any other spoof movie. I'll probably rate it 6/10.
Oh damn, tomorrow's Monday. High call volume. Formal wear. 2pm-11pm shift. -sigh- But on the bright side, one more day before my off days on Tues and Wed. I'm so looking forward to it. =D And I'm kinda addicted to OPhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney recently.
Speaking of games, I'm gonna save up for a PSP soon. I played Breath of Fire (BoF) 3 on Kelly's PSP and I felt renewed interest in RPGs again! BoF's been one of my favourite RPG series, alongside the Shining series, Fire Emblem series and Phantasy Star series (nope, FF's not part of my all-time favourites, but I still enjoy their games nonetheless). I'm getting bored of gaming recently. So bored that I went back to playing Lineage 2. Granado Espada was my main gaming interest for the past year, but I got tired of IAH's management, delaying patches and letting the game come to a standstill. CABAL stole my heart for a moment, but the lack of raids, and the inability to 'tank' was disappointing. So I went back to my old love, Lineage 2, again. And I'm in love with Temple Knight all over again.
Drool over my uber armour =D Ok, not so uber anyway, but I just like it.
-cough- Anyhow, regarding my blog layout, I'm still in process of finding a new layout. If you have any nice layout (preferably anime-themed, non-anime themed are fine as well), please let me know via this blog or MSN. I'll be very thankful to get rid of this layout.
Ok it's 3.30am. Time for bed.
