i can't believe cheng yi is on friendster and he messaged me.. i didn't get to read it though, the system hung up on me in camp.

on the bad side, i stayed back in camp on friday to do cos while the rest booked out to support the armour road relay.. on the good side, i read juice and discovered about bootleg sneakers in peninsular plaza. i read grain and discovered that a guy made a pinhole camera out of a peking duck. i read 8 days- it was really boring. i booked yet another driving lesson for tomorrow.

oh ok i didn't even know about the jogathon. they're sending mail to my old email address still.

the tickets- tell me when you're gonna get them ok

no more money for lawry's: i blew away about 700 bucks in 5 days last week. 100+ for dfs, 100+ for jeans, 300 for driving and drew a few 50 dollar notes.

the bends is erm, classic. i've had most of it on mp3 so there were no surprises there.

time magazine's cover article about big mega buildings in china. i've thought all along that they were very ugly. monuments are like souffles, looks solid, but more likely filled with air. have you seen the ads for thre3 thre3 robin road? that is one tasteful condo to live in. i wanna watch elephant.
i've finally taken over my own vehicle and i only have one day (next mon) to prep it before moving out next tues. that means doing the track tension, which is the biggest bitch of all, checking the oil levels, taking over the many many stores, ie concertina wire, bamboo poles, camo net etc, loading up the stores, shifting the cupboards and revising on the stupid drills.

i have by now watched fight club about four times and able to recite tyler durden's lines. of course, half the bunk caught onto the whole 'you are not your clothes, not your cars, you are not your fucking khakis, we are the all singing all dancing crap of the world' theology too. more bad news: i need to run 20 seconds faster to pass soc.

ok where is xinyi? she told me to keep today free and i haven't heard a single word from her except a missed call..
one fine day i'm going to reformat this computer and install windows xp. i'm losing it every minute of the day.

oh my brother may be going to japan for an exchange programme and i must think of what funky shinjuku thing to buy!!
