update on a rainy day

lately i've been addicted to soft drinks mixed with alchohol...i wonder if its the first sign of alchoholism :P my favourite so far is ice-cream soda + alchohol....i get the alchohol from wine in case anyone's wondering...cuz i relly cant tahan beer...

anyway....yesterday (sat) went to pc fair with tansri, sue lyn, xinch n ghee....n ended up wasting the whole afternoon n evening! at first everyone was supposed 2 meet at my hse at 2.30 but xinch n ghee were late (wif ghee around being late is the rule rather than the exception...n one wonders wat the two of them were doing 'having lunch' from 1.00pm till almost 3.00pm :P) so in the end tansri, suelyn n i left for pc fair without them after agreeing to meet them there

well...we reached the pc fair around 3.00...walked around to check out prices...i was looking for a hdd while suelyn wanted 2 buy a 256mb mp3 player dat her fren sed is selling at 180 bux only...tansri of course was functioning as our tech advisor. there was a hell lot of ppl at d pc fair, including a bunch of ppl from my sch..many from my class...who were working there esp at the streamyx stall. after half an hr of pushing our way thru about 1/3 of the stalls xinch called to ask how to get to pisa...turns out both of them had no idea where is pisa...so tansri had give them directions...n promptly disappeared into the crowded while carrying MY hp...! so i cudnt call him n had to search all over the place for him...

after locating the tansri, we decided to head for the seats ringing the arena (it IS an indoor stadium after all) n wait for xinch n ghee while observing the 'action' from higher up...so it ended up, as xinch put it, wif 'a monkey and an old man' sitting at the very topmost row of seats, the monkey folding paper airplanes while the old man...well, who noes wat HE was doing...as for sue lyn, she embarked on a one-woman quest to locate 'the best mp3 player bargain of the fair'...

at around 4.30 xinch n ghee finally arrived...so we went down to jostle wif the crowd again...after making a circuit of the area we somehow got separated...so i bought my stuff (a 200GB hdd for 385 bux...not a bad deal eh) n went back to the 'high seats' again wif tansri...but apparently d others were so bz hunting around (or in xinch n ghee's case, hmm) dat they never noticed we were gone...so in the end we went down AGAIN...this time we ended up at the streamyx stall where finally the others showed up...then we went back up to the seats (i noe, its beginning to sound like a bad recurring dream) while sue lyn went to...guess wat? shop for her mp3 player...

almost an hr later, xinch n ghee had to leave...n sue lyn STILL had not finished her shopping...we were like...wtf is she doing?? summore not answering hp...so i had to 'go in' again to find her n drag her out...n as expected, she was empty handed...geram nia wasted so much time. man, relly feel like cekik-ing sue lyn now! anyway kesimpulannya by the time i reached home it was 7 something d...dats about 5 hrs total down the drain...

fast forward to today; went to taekwondo class at 2pm...today ms looi decided to focus on patterns much to my relief...i wasnt feeling up to 3 hrs of combo drills wif the 5-6pm 'hardcore intensive' thing looming unpleasantly in the near distance...anyway around 4.30 it started raining n the downpour increased until even the extra training was cancelled...so we got off lightly this time lah..heh

i also told ms looi i *most probably* wun b joining the kl tournament...the reasons i gave her were parental objection and a test middle of the month...tho there was another reason as well - i wanted to attend prefects' day cuz it wud b my last chance to do so....anyway its kind of a relief dat i wun hv 2 b competing so soon lah...

later in the evening - at the psc library - i discovered among the new books, the *almost* complete set of stephen king's Dark Tower novel series! actually the set is complete but someone beat me to the first book d...n stupid me din realise it n borrowed wat i tot was the first but was actually the 7th n last book in the series! anyway how was i to know that the book (titled..."The Dark Tower"...*rolls eyes*) named after the series is the last n not the first? esp since the other books were conveniently labelled 'dark tower II', 'dark tower III' ...
