Life is a game.
Those who play...
Play against the entire world.
There are no saves.
There are no walkthroughs.
There is only one chance.

Ah.

I never f-ing learn, now do I? Typing one big f-ing chunk of stuff and then for some stupid f-ing reason, the f-ing window has to f-ing close. What the f- is that? I have a f-ing lousy computer, that's what.

I woke up in the morning. Actually I didn't. I only got up at around noon. I was zoning and I did the stuff you do when you wake up. I forgot what I ate, and I started playing Age of Empires 2 on my sister's com. Then, an assignment: Get lunch.

Okay, I didn't have a problem with that. Except that when I came back I was told I had 15 minutes to go meet the guys. I went "what the hell" and so they waited a bit longer before meeting at the MRT Station while I ate, showered, and went to Woodlands MRT Station on foot.

We were supposed to go to Nanyang Polytechnic with Jo to hand in his appeal letter (which was late), and we got in with the courtesy of some of the students there as they were leaving. Loophole in the security.

We walked around a near empty building, and couldn't find anybody who looked important enough, and the security guard was damn hostile. Fortunately I wasn't very near him.

So we left, and Jo said we would walk to Ang Mo Kio to look for jobs. At first I was "Oh, okay, jobs, yeah." And then I went "walk!?"

My body is not going to forgive me for how I've been treating it. Like I said, I walked to the station, stood on the train, walked around NYP, and now I’m going to walk to Ang Mo Kio, which, I would say is about one and a half kilometres away.

Halfway there, I was lucky. It started to rain! Later I found out that it wasn't really lucky for me. We took cover on a covered walkway, which led to NTUC Fairprice. I'm not sure if this is the main branch, but being the biggest damn branch I've seen and a large building nearby with the NTUC logo explains a lot. Some Ang Mo Kio Secondary girls were up ahead selling stuff for NKF, in front of the only entrance/exit. We played cool and went past safely.

In there, we got ourselves drinks, and when we came out, the charity girls were still there but the rain got heavier. It took a while, and the impending approach of the charity girls, for us to decide we should head back into the supermarket where we were safe.

We got snacks and more drinks, and ate in the cover of the sidewalk while we watch the rain slow down to a drizzle, with only a few drops every other second.

We went past a shop where we could play pool, but for $6 an hour, and then to Popular, where we briefly contemplated enquiring about jobs and Jo got himself a comic. We walked some more, and we a saw a giant poster (by giant I mean a storey tall) and decided to check out this large comic store.

Did I say it was large? Sorry, my mistake. It was the biggest freaking comic store I've ever laid my eyes on. It isn't just a dozen shelves of comic books. It's a dozen shelves of comic books, a whole range of latest anime VCDs released here, about fifteen computers for internet usage, four PS2s and Xboxes each, and a whole range (about 4 metres across) of candy, anime related or not. And it greets you with a television set showing you Hikaru no Go. And a giant Xbox box.

We left eventually. We went into the bookstore next to it, which Kok Siang calls "Popular version 2" and just walked through it. We went down from another elevator behind the bookstore, and decided we should go home.

We took a MRT crammed full of people alighting at Yishun, and went back to Causeway Point, where we had our dinner at Long John Silvers. Saw Nikki and Cheryl there. We took awhile before ordering because 1) we were busy preparing the money first, and 2) nobody wants to go do the ordering. So guess who did it?

I guess it's pretty obvious. I was staring at the girls while I queuing up because Cheryl was doing this weird action, and when they saw me staring, they did their thing: breaking into giggles.

So I got the food. We ate. And then we separated, leaving Jo and me while they went home. I stayed because I received news that his parents were going to take him out for dinner, and I was raring to going. But it turned out it wasn’t exactly how I thought it was. We had Thai food (the Tom Yam soup got me), and then walked around and we browsed magazines at a 7-11 nearby.

Soon we got back into the car with Jeremy, and it took nearly a half hour for their dad to come back. We drove about twenty metres down the road, and picked up their mum. We came back, and they dropped me off.

I came home, and I watched the England - Northern Ireland match. Goalless at half time but 4 goals in about twenty minutes into the second half sealed the match 4-0 to the English lads.

Sweden won 3-0 against Bulgaria, and I didn't care about the rest.

So I came in. Typed a whole lot of stuff. Then the stupid window closed. And then I typed this on Word just to be save. Even saved it in a file on the Desktop.

I tried the editing thing. Stupid window closed again.
