Sick week

Has been sick for the past one week. It all came about after i stayed up to watch the Formula 1 until 330am. That evening, i had fever but i still met up with James for dinner. When i got home, saw my dad and my neighbour helping to move some speakers resembling the ones which i saw in a van when i was approached at the carpark while on my way home. I knew it! It was a scam as my dad mentioned that he paid $600 for that. When we opened up the boxes, none of them had any wires in the boxes. I went around the neighbourhood trying to find the van but it was nowhere in vain. In the end, my dad called and ask me to come home.

My sister searched on the internet and came about knowing that these people actually go around singapore in several vans selling those speakers. They will mention that the container unloaded the wrong goods and since that, they had to sell it away as the container has left the country.

Sold my car on tuesday as i took half day to go to the LTA to transfer ownership of my car. There goes my 325i Coupe. I'm missing it already. Was on 1/2 day MC on Wed and Friday afternoon. Went to the movies with Samantha due to free tixs given by SCS. We watch the Quantum of Solace. I would say not bad la but kinda weird to me as i have never followed James Bond movies before.

On saturday, went to the club 21 bazaar opposite Singapore flyer with jieming and we went seperate ways after that as jieming had a soccer match later in the day. I met up with James and went to Bras Basah to shop for our guitar bag. We then watch "The Coffin" at Orchard Cineleisure. I would say the movie is a total waste of money. To think that we actually watch it on the weekend but luckily we paid $8 for it.

On Sunday, it was reallly a nitemare for me as there are 2 malay weddings happening concurrently. One under my block and one opposite my block. I don't understand other than knocking the drums, they actually like to "zua" their motor and horning away. I thought i could at least get some break as it started to pour. It's so noisy! Can't they just attract attention in other ways. . . I just don't understand. Because of that, i didn't have the nap at the specific hour which i should and i ended up getting overslept and being late for my guitar lesson. Went for swimming after my guitar lesson.

My sad week ended even more drastically as while i was tuning my guitar, my guitar string snapped! Ok...that's about all for the week. WIll update you guys again.

First Guitar Lesson today...

Hasn't been blogging daily because i feel there's no need to. I can always backtrack things that happen a few days ago. . .provided if i ever remembered!

Friday was halloween! i didn't go for any celebration but merely just met up with Brendon for dinner and coffee.

Saturday was shopping day! I met up with shengjie and Jingshun. It's been quite some time since i last met shengjie. Reason being he was busy with his school assignments and sianing charbor. HAHA! I wish him all e best!! Though i know i'm going to lose a regular go out kaki. But nevertheless, i think that is just life and he is going through a normal life like what everyone is doing. Perhaps my time just hasn't arrive. . . I bought myself a Levis jeans because there is a promotion going on whereby if you trade in any jeans (ANY BRAND), you get a $50 rebate on the jeans you buy. We soon went off and i give them a ride home. I met up with brendon under my blk and we went to orchard together. The motive was to go support Zooooo Zhiaaaliang (as pronounced by the host) as he had his yoyo Asia Pacific competition held at Takashimaya basement. We went to look for jialiang the first thing we arrived and got to know that he won't be performing so soon and thus we went for a quick dinner at Taka foodcourt. It's been very long since i last ate the Jap food! It taste so great! Soon....jialiang's yoyo display started and we were there to witness his performance. After his display, we went to do our shopping at Paragon and i bought myself a Mizuno bag and Mizuno running shoes. Mizuno bag was cheap as compared to other brands. I just don't feel like spending so much on a bag and partly also because i can change another bag real soon! Mizuno running shoes was a kind of motivation to motivate myself to run. . .

Results of the shopping....



Today, i went for my first Guitar lesson held at Tampines North CC. It was pouring before that and it kinda dampen my spirits a little. The teacher taught us a few notes and asks us to go back to practice. Since that i have signed up, i must really go practice everyday though my fingertips hurt! Went to tampines mall with James after our guitar lesson because we needed to get a guitar bag for our guitar. The one that we are using right now just sucks. It might just give way anytime!

My newly bought acoustic guitar. . .



That's all for now.....gtg slp....tmr's working again....going to have a tight schedule this week....ex-colleagues meet-up session....movie session....and settling my own things. Hopefully i can set aside some time for guitar practice, jogging and swimming.
