CIP at metro
today chinks, berge and me went for the metro-syif cip thing that we signed up for damn long ago. it was held at woodlands metro so we decided to meet at woodlands mrt first.
as usual berge was late by 15 minutes, but it was for my sake cos he had to find the nes controller thing that he wanted to give me, so his lateness was perfectly justified.
chinks was late by like 50++ minutes cos he forgot to collect his punch in card and he received much punishment from the manager of the metro store later on(more on that later)
so berge and me collected the vouchers and brought them down to our booth on the first floor in the metro store. for some reason they only provided one chair for 3 ppl and so for the next 4 1/2 hrs we took turns to sit on the chair. or rather me and berge took turns to sit on the chair lol. while chinks was still busy getting here i spent my time chiding berge for staring at the scantily clad women in the vouchers.
chinks then called asking for help cos he couldnt find his way there, and berge went to the security counter to rescue him. soon he came back in fits of laughter as he jovially described how chinks turned up in civvies instead of sch uniform and had to go into the office to get disciplined by the manager.
i then went up to the 2nd floor to the office to ask the manager where in the world the animal magnets we were supposed to give out togetehr wif the vouchers were, but on the way i met chinks who had a sheepish expression on his face closely followed by the grinning manager who was grinning in great satisfaction. she proceeded to tell me "help me scold this boy later ok? he needs to be punished." all the while flashing him that look that you only see on the face of a bonks when he sees a small cute boy.
we then started our work which was basically to sit there and wait for people to come and put money into the donation box and pass them the voucher. unfortunately it seemed like the main attraction of the donation thing was actually the free animal magnets. since the stock for the week had been given out no one gave a shit about our booth. me and berge started counting the number of times people glanced at our booth for longer than 1 second, and i think we din get into single digits. 3 people came up and asked about the magnet but when told that we din have any they said oh and left.
in the end berge felt bad and decided to donate 5 bucks to it. and guess wad? that was the grand total we collected for the day. so in 4 1/2 hrs of donation collecting we collected 5 bucks for charity which equates to 0.37 cents per man hour of work. we felt quite bad that we din do anything but then there wasnt much we could do since we're not supposed to approach people to ask for donations.
so basically we spent the 4 1/2 talking and speculating about how teo could stand going for 7 sessions of this boring thing then we remembered that he had fantastic company and wouldnt feel bored anyway and felt sincere happiness for him.
and when we went back to sign out the manager called chinks "naughty" for signing out early and coming late. lol and i lost count on the number of times she batted her eyelids at him.

my neat study table
Heres a look at my study table that hasnt been touched ever since end of o levels. (cos after that i gave up trying to tidy it up and studied on my bed instead)
Despite the overwhelming mess(actually this is quite good already it used to be like 3 times as bad) i really like it cos everything i need is easily accessible. well almost everything other than studying space but who cares about studying at the moment? (other than angsie but since when does his opinion count ha)
Labelled in red are the more important and significant items on my table:
1. My wallet which contains a tiger cup ticket for the myanmar vs singapore match, the singapore cup final ticket, lots of movie stubs, nutritional information of every single item on the mcdonalds menu, and a starbucks voucher for a free coffee that u get for free if you donate to the salvation army.
2. Beloved 2nd-hand palm m505 which lasted me for like 2 years and cost me 200 bucks. still great for reading ebooks other than the useless battery life.
3. my metro syif cip card thingy! as if boonlay youth club doesnt already provide enough cip hours, heres another 7 hrs of cip to be done selling stuff for charity or sthg like that. And yes its the same cip activity of which teo signed up for 5 sessions, 4 of which was wif a certain vball teammate of the opposite gender.
4. 1S06B(my previous previous class) class list. i found it in the bottom of some file and nostalgia overwhelmed me. unable to stem the emotions flowing through my heart i duly proceeded to place it on my table.
5. trusty old gameboy colour which still works despite years of mistreatment. and no i do not play pokemon on it. i go for more intellectual games such as super mario.
6. the fake slightly less original xbox controller i bought for berge from shanghai for just 14 bucks! and it actually looks quite real compared to the pirated license lacking ones in singapore which cost like 30 bucks.
7. my cd wallet containing the various games and applications that i have burnt to cd after due consideration of their legality.
8. Copy of gp bull(i think? Im too lazy to pull it out to check). Most likely only touched on the morning of the day of the gp paper and then cast into oblivion.
9. Ballpump. Er ya its a ballpump.
10. See that yellow/orangey thing there? Thats the fun water toy i won at the boonlay kindergarten fun fair after challenging fd and bonks to a hard fought contest of picking up marbles with chopsticks. (fd won in the end, but i think he cheated)
11. my dearest PW journal! I mean everytime i look at it i feel an overwhelming urge to actually open it up and write something relating to pw in it! “Dear PW journal, the last session of project work has been undeniably immensely beneficial..”
12. mickey mouse piggy bank. Due to an unfortunate combination of the lock falling off and my lack of willpower it is currently quite empty.
13. My cd cake of 50 cdrs. As can be seen ive been engaging in the burning of quite a number of legal materials that has resulted in the small amount of cds left inside.
14. Half eaten tube of hichews strawberry.(i think coke and grape are the best flavours) im going back to eat it up later.
15. My pen holder containing various kinds of styli.(which are the pen thingies that you poke the screen of a pda with for the uninformed) Unfortunately they are greatly decreasing because berge is constantly losing his and asking me for more.
16. My even larger cd wallet that contains an even large collection of even more legal computer material.

why is it that..
my msn is so screwed up?
the two hours before a champions league match always seem to be the longest?
there always has to be that nagging worry that refuses to go away?
its always so easy to see the faults of others but so hard to see their good points?
late nights at the com are always so boring?
the pots like to call the kettles black?
these replies need to be thought up and dont come naturally?
people can lie so blatantly and so righteously?
i dont get how this freaking world works?
