Hey, I'm still alive! I know you guys must hate that (haha). I could not be bothered to conjour up entries just to give you people something to do. You guys should go out and have fun, not sit in front of a screen and read about my useless, uneventful and boring life . (*shudder, abit too emo) Anyway, apparently my cousin still visits my blog on occasion and I want to thank him by giving him something to read. So for all those who did not believe that I would still update the blog, screw you, cause you won't be reading this anyway. (If you are, I did not type the line before this, sorry)

Now on to why I'm almost dead. I've been sick since tuesday, those in my class would know I left school early to ge home and rest. Then, I had slight fever, a really bad headache and soar throat. It went on for two days, then it became worse. I had worse soar throat and nose blocks all at once. Then it continued for another 2 days and now I have a bad cough and soar throat. The weather is cruel, I blame the guy in charge. Since I was sick for the entire holiday, I did not get any work done. I feel better today so I'm going to chiong liao. But let me watch a little youtube first. -.-"

On the bright side though, I've gotten some new stuff. I bought a pair of new shoes and 2 new CDs - Dream Theater's Falling into Infinity and that Maroon 5 one. Great stuff. Although since the M5 cd was made in Singapore, the reproduction of sound is absolute rubbish, but hey, I got it for free so I'm not complaining. (*You've now dozed off) Oh, and my laptop got a RAM upgrade and I formatted the hardisk for good measure. Great speed now, almost as fast as a tortise with a broken leg and a blindfold on.

Now on to food. Yesterday when I went out with a friend to Vivo, I had to eat lunch there so I went to Carl's Junior. OMFG! The prices are outrageous! It's like handing over ransom money for release of your meal! Yes the portions are quite large but I get much better value for money at BK. If you haven't been there go and try it once. The food is alright and the service, sub-standard but the portions are enormous. After that, don't ever go back there again. I would only do that if I ran out of cash and have to use NETS. That's right, they accept NETS.

Alright I've done what I needed to do. The next post will come later today or tomorrow and I'll try to include photos. Meanwhile, here are 2 funny as hell videos:

2 weeks ago, I bidded on ebay for a "15 Years old, PCDP with Heat resistant body". And I won! Woot! Anyway, it cost me 30 smackers. You might be thinking, "what's the use of such an old player?" Well, let me explain. When you buy a high-end portable cd player, it'll cost you at least $200-300 for one with a line-out. Moreover all of the new PCDPs are made in china, not Japan. Also for $200-300, you are actually paying for miniturization, not quality. Also this player in the past would cost around $400. Great deal! Trust me, after you hear this, you'll throw away your mp3 player! lol.

Some pics:

Ok, This is my room's "Media Table" on it you can see my amps, speakers, TV, headphones and my laptop. [Note, boring stuff, reading this is optional] The setup you see before you is a NAD 3020i Integrated being used as a pre-amplifier which is used to amplify the volume of the source i.e. the player. The amp is then connected to a Denon PMA-880r power amplifier which powers the speakers, a pair of budget Tannoy Mercury M2's. The xbox makes a great CD player. lol.

Now, on to my "portable" Rigs. I have 3 mp3 players in rotation. A Ipod 5g 30gb, a Zen Vision: M 30gb and a Ipod suffle 1gb. For school use, I usually hook my Koss KSC75(Modded) to my Ipod shuffle. But if I'm carrying a bag while going out, I'll take my full rig out which include my Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro, a Cadas interconnect cable, a Go-vibe portable amplifier and any mp3 player. Phew, I know you guys will not be interested until I let you listen to it. lol. Just lookie at the pics.

These are sold, besides the player and the cable.

My slightly cheaper audio collection, including the all mighty ibuds... >.<"Everything is in a mess...
The Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 pros.... Nice...

Alrighty, sorry if I bored you to death, but this is my hobby. "The audio bit, not the boring people to death bit"

Pardon the short length of the text in this post. I'm really tired after the 3 hours swim. But I don't think you'll read everything anyway since you guys should be more interested in pretty pictures. :P

Anyway, the story goes like this: Yesterday, my cousin and I were out together to do some shopping, then we decided to go to Jurong for a swim. But we lost track of time at Plaza Singapura so it would be impossible for me to make it back in time for my A-math tuition. We then decided to give Aidan a call, to see if we could drop by his pool for a swim. He permitted. But I did not bring my camera yesterday so no photos. Sorry.

Then today, Aidan invited us back to his place for a swim. So here are some photos.

In case you guys don't know, the guy swimming is a Aidan. The other is my cousin.

My cousin had so much fun, he'd rather stay than go for a free movie with his friends. Totally unlike the Felix I know. I have a photo of me, but I looked like crap. No chance of me putting it online. lol.

Anyway, on a side note, Aidan and I got a haircut today at Tiong's Supercut. I'd totally recommend it. Men's cut is 18 bucks. It includes a soap'n wash, a message while soaping, the cut, a wash again, then styling. Aidan look so much better now. No more Bruce Lee hair for him!

But before that, we went for lunch at "Jack's Place" in Great World City. The student meal there is terrible! Don't order that tasteless crap. The picture is decieving.

Hey fellow readers, I have a treat for you 2 people! Finally I got out of the house and did something worth reporting. As 1 or 2 of you might know, I did not turn up for lessons today cause I was feeling slightly sick (don't flame me, it's true). But later on, after being forced to lie in bed and snore for a couple of hours, I felt much better. Then I decided to ride my bike to Great World City for dinner and that's what I did. So follow this story:
As you can see from the picture above, it was really dark and my lights aren't working. Great thing they're so many headlamps of cars to lead the way.... Anyway, that picture above was taken about 10 minutes into the ride from Bukit Merah, where I live. Nothing out of the ordinary happened during the ride there. In fact it was so smooth, I reached Great World in 15 mintues. (A great accomplishment for somebody my size).

I got there and parked up:I was drenched in perspiration as I walked into the mall. The 1st stop was Cold Storage. I needed a beverage. [A note to people who have 'Nets', the great world cold storage allows you to pay using the card on your own... So if you fancy some alcoholic drinks... *wink wink, Cough cough*] Anyway that was what I did.

So you've guessed it, I went to the food court for dinner. In light if an upcoming CD purchase I could not afford to splurge on my meal. Hence, the fuc.. unappitizing plate of a sorry excuse for spaghetti you see before you. And yes, I bought myself a bottle of Limonya Vodka, which taste like disinfectant + blueberry juice. It sucked. On the whole, not a very good meal.

On to the trip back. The trip back was mostly uphill, so this pic of a snail I found at the side of Great World City, is pretty much the perfect simile to describe my speed back home. I took 20 minutes! But halfway back, a kid on a "stunt bike" decided he could out ride me.... So he overtook me when I was peddling slowly but as soon as I saw his smug little face staring at me, I chased after him at full force. At a point I was so close to him, he had to swerve out of my way in order to prevent an accident.

Happy reading, and comment.
