Happy new year

Hey hey people! Happy new year!! Heh, (what's wrong with me? I keep starting with "h") well, it's finally 2005!! Not like it feels any different now.. Just that now I can officially say I'm "15 this year" Bleaugh, so old. Now we're seniors in RI already. Ah well, speaking of which school starts in like 2 days time. So xian, it's like we're so bored during the hols, and yet we don't want school to start right. So anyway, yesterday was friday. I think I didn't do much.. Oh wait, i did do much. Just remembered. Heh, woke up at around 10ish, then later on went to bishan with sister to meet jevon la. We were supposed to watch phantom of the opera. So anyway, arrived there at like 11.45am, then met jevon at yoshinoya to eat lunch. I actually wasn't the slowest! So later on elton came, but we decided to go to plaza sing first, and told kennedy to meet us there. So my sister got off at orchard station because she was going to meet her friend. We reached plaza sing, then the queue for the tickets was very long la, so Jevon went to queue while elton and I went all the way back down and I sat there and watched elton eat lor. So we chatted a little and then Jev called me then he was like "Oi, where are you." Then i said "burger king. So what movie did u buy?" (because from the length of the queue we figured that phantom might be sold out so buy kong fu hustle instead). Then he was like "I go down then I tell you or not u surely will screw me one." So I was like "huh" So while waiting for jevon, i thought of all possibilities as to why he would screw me la. Then ended up on the one that he might have bought seats like separate from each other la. And I hate watching movies alone, so I'd definitely scold him, not to the extent of screwing him =P So anyway, it turned out that we had gotten first rows. Not THAT bad. So lalala, elton ate finish and kennedy arrived like 5 minutes before the show lor which was at 1.25. So we rushed up, went in, commercials had started la, then still got quite a few more before the show started. So the view was horrid, we practically had to unfocus our eyes to be able to take in the entire screen. So the movie. It was very good, I liked it, the singing was good and stuff, and the Christine's friend looks like someone very familar. Can't really figure it out. And I really like the part when they unveal the chandelier(how to spell?) then the phantom of the opera music suddenly plays. Oh which reminds me, i shall upload the soundtrack to my ipod. It's like 1987 one la, dunno if they have an updated one. Even whether the cd was stereo was an important issue at that time. So anyway, it's also very nice when the chandelier like rises up and then slowly the theatre turns from black and white to colour la. Very cool! So the story is about this guy who has a disfigured face la. He has been living in the theatre ever since he was young. Then one day the lead singer decided she didn't want to sing, then this Christine went to take over. Then the phantom fell in love with her. And her childhood sweetheart at that point had just like taken over the theatre la. So when he saw her sing, he like you know, "fell" in love with her too. So basically in the end, she chooses her childhood sweetheart la, then the phantom let her go with him. At first wanted to kill the boyfriend and make her stay with him, but then he like let them go in the end. Aiya, very hard to type it out la, heh heh, go and watch it yourself =) Sooo, after the movie which ended at 4pm, elton and kennedy left to go to some fish shop. Then Jevon and I decided to go to Best superstore la. So I was looking at the digital camera la, then recently my aunty just bought one Pentax Optio S40 for like $585, $635 with 512MB card. Then there they were selling for $509 la! Damn pissed. But weird thing is that other cameras, eg. Canon ixus S40 (izzit S40? or just ixus 40?) was selling for $699 there and $530 at Sim Lim. So very weird la. But pentax is cheaper I think because they never really advertise. So stuff like Sony cameras, may have like 5 megapixals and everything, but then may not have as many functions la. Like the Pentax one has like dunno how many scene selections, then also got like filter, like black and white, or make everything blueish, or like only take black and white and red pictures. Which means like everything that is not red will turn out black and white. Only red will turn out red. Or u can take black and white and blue or something liddat la. Basically had a lot of functions. So yeah, aunty sounded upset when i told her but she was like "aiya, buy already then don't complain lor". So we walked around Plaza Sing for like one hour plus? Crazy la, heh, usually never walk around for so long. Actually we were talking la. Because usually yh's around see. So when we bo liao bo liao walk around, then he always like so quiet, so we both also feel very awkward, so like make him feel left out, so it's not as though we don't try to talk to him or what, but sometimes he also like refuse to say anything. Like I ask him where he wanna go, he also whole day "anything anything" one, gets irritating sometimes la. I mean it's fun to go out with him, usually before the movie he's chatty and stuff. But seems like after the movie then he gong gong one. Aiya, so anyway, we walked around, looked at the various handphone stores, went into Molecue also, which sold clocks. Ohhhh yeah, so I've made a list of handphones which I want. I mean like in order, if like don't get first one then get 2nd one kind of thing. So 1. Motorola Razr V3. Ok, problem about this phone is that it's damn ex. And well, it's kinda going out of my list soon, because if you think about it, it may be the slimmest clam phone around, but then hor, it's very big in terms of length and width. And the quadband doesn't really help me because my sim card can't roam, and it's not as though I go to the US all the time. And quadband doesn't mean you can use it in Japan and Korea lor. Only phones that can use both GSM and CDMA networks then can. Quadband right, the different frequencies are all still under the GSM network. So yeah, 2nd phone is this Korean made Pantech GI100. It's really cool, very small clam phone. But has a ripping 1.3 megapixal camera. Then the screen is 260K colours la, the outside one is also 260K colours. And also, the outside screen has this "fingerprint recognition" thingie. So like you can lock your phone with your fingerprint, then only you and you can open it. It's like 698 without plan, not say very expensive la considering it has such functions. But it's only dual band, so can't be used in US, and i think it doesn't have polyphonic ringtones. But really, it doesn't matter that much lor. I put my phone to silent mode nowadays, and then I have my ipod so i don't need an inbuilt mp3 player. But the biggest drawback is that I think it's like imported into singapore, so I don't think that there's actually a Pantech service centre in singapore. So let's say my phone spoils, then I dunno whether can get it repaired not. According to the website, there's no service centres in singapore la. So sigh.. It's a seriously cool phone! Ok, so 3rd choice is the Samsung E330c. It's like an updated version of the E700A where the advert goes like the girl is taking the multi shots of herself and she's rolling around on the car. Yeah, it's rounder, and the screens are both 65K colours. E700A right, the outside screen is like 256 colours. Damn little. And this camera has flash too. So the only thing better about this phone compared to the Pantech is that it has no antenna, but i think overall size it's also bigger, so well. And also obviously doesn't have the 1.3 megapixal camera, no fingerprint recognition, but has polyphonic ringtones and Samsung has service centres in singapore. Heh. Ok, so 4th choice, is the E800C. The slide phone. It's rather similar to the E330C in terms of like the functions, just that I prefer clam phones, and the E330C is ultra new on the market i think. So yeah, hopefully my dad'll buy me a new phone. =) But I doubt it la, he never really mention about me getting a new phone, then I also scared to ask for it. Ah wellz. Phew. So anyway, (finally i get back onto the topic) at around 5.45, I left plaza, then went home la, because driver stops work at 6. Or not we might have wandered around there longer. So went for dinner with family at 8pm. At lei garden opposite cineleisure. Was rather satisfying, though not as great as I expected it to be. Hmph. But oh well. So slept at like 1am only? Can't really remember what I was doing, probably like looking up information on handphones. Oh yeah, and I saw this really, or rather nice pair of shoes at plaza sing. $99.011. Dunno why the cents so weird. Heh, much cheaper than the shoes i usually buy =P But oh well, i'd definitely rather have a new hp than a pair of shoes, considering i already got a new pair when i went US. It's this almost all white sketchers shoes. So anyway, today. Woke up at 12 something, heh, jet lag is definitely over and I think I might have moved into some time frame slower than singapore. Oh wait, which means jet lag isn't over. Oh heck, so mum made me pack my library. Damn boring, so started packing for OBS in between. Haha, run here run there. Ended up with everything missing one. Missing one pair of socks, one pair of shorts blah di blah. So found like my sec 1 orientation PE clothes. Which I only wore once, and because they were muddy so couldn't be washed properly, so i didn't wear them again. So I shall wear them now. 2nd time =) Hahaha, so then proceeded to (rather slowly) pack my library. Now stealing time (a lot) to blog. Ooo, i think i just took like 40 minutes to blog la! Horrors. Must be the longest post I've ever written. So anyway, this evening earlier I went to Newton Hawker Centre to eat. I thought it was supposed to have closed for renovation already =S. Dunno la, so I and daddy ate there. I practically bloated myself up la. Ate like carrot cake, 2 big otahs, and 3 chicken wings, and stingray too. Couldn't finish the stingray, so packed the other half of it home for sister to eat. Teehee, so really full now! Bloated. And cons somehow has decided to watch meteor garden again. Aiya, I watched it like before going melbourne, so i could tell her what was going to happen. Heh, she wasn't really irritated though, because she didn't want to watch the boring parts so she'd ask me. So anyway, i better go and pack my library again. Or not mummy find out then she'll scold me! So see ya people later!
