A normal looking book cover with some accolades from reputable sources on the back. It almost costs $9.

Open up the book and you see…

For those who don’t get it, it means that men know nothing about women. What an interesting way to package a notebook. And I’d say it cheats people of their money as well.

In other news, I think I’ve just watched one of the worst movies in my life. What the hell. There is practically no plot.

And lastly to end off, something interesting I found online (click on the image for more):

But I survived!

On a side note, I purchased what seems to be my first novel in a long time: Kite Runner. It’s worth a read if anyone needs any reading material.

As some of you may, or may not, know that I am a LoTR fanatic, I’m definitely going to get this book.

A rather unexpected publication.

The exams are coming. Are you prepared? Are you ready?

Long days and pleasant nights!

Certainly… either Singnet/Singapore’s ISP had some cock up or MSN servers are having some problems. The problem is, none of us could sign in to Messenger. You could do it with Web Messenger but not with the client itself.

What’s wrong?

The second “s” is for shopping; well, I didn’t shop much anyway because I already what I wanted in mind. Xiang Long and I went around Orchard and finally Bugis looking for his bag,

Call me a fanboy or whatever you like – I’ve just bought the first six books of the Dark Towers series and placed $100 into Stephen King’s pocket. (Book VII and The Stand coming soon!)

We did that too! (Cl, Gerald and Kelvin Ho) Albeit this time, it wasn’t balls hitting each other, it was bodies swimming against water resistance – the Swimming Pool!

After that, we went to the post office to send a parcel of mass ~800g off to the US (no prize for guessing who sent it and who was the recepient) and it costed a frgging 30+ dollars just to send that small parcel! Goodness gracious!

Finished reading the 699 pages long Wizard and Glass; on with Wolves of the Calla!

Woke up to the sound of my mobile’s alarm at 8 am. That omnipresent “beep beep beep”.

On the way to school, the bus (31) I was on almost had a head-on collision with a turning lorry at a junction. The bus was travelling very fast, probably above the speed limit for buses and probably trying to beat the red light. At the junction, as a lorry was attempting to turn (or going forward; I can’t tell, for that matter), the bus almost collided with it.

The tale doesn’t end here. The bus driver, probably recovering from the shock of that near-accident, began driving at turtle speed and MISSED the bus stop which a few VJ people and I were supposed to get off. In case you were wondering, the “BUS STOPPING” sign was glowing red. And thus began my slogging to the school with my mind somewhat still in dream land.

The turnout at the event was better than I expected (albeit worse than expected by the organizers I reckon). Our stall sold pretty well – we sold drinks; everyone needs drinks. The main items were sold out way ahead of the carnival’s closure and they had to resort to “other means” for more sales.

The rides were pretty pathetic, save one. They were basically rotting in the Saturday Afternoon Sun except for one which was practically filled with queuing people of sorts – visitors, Victorians, children etc. – from the start till the end. It costs $6. Over my dead body will I spend that much on the ride. On an additional note, the Flying Fox was also too expensive. $4? Are you sure?

All in all, I spent $1 in total. I can hear someone somewhere out there exclaiming “WHAT!?” (though I assumed that there is actually someone reading this). Call me a miser. Or whatever. I don’t believe in doing charity like this. I don’t donate to charities or any event for that matter that has the promises of “lucky draw prizes”. Use that money on the donation and I will donate.

Of notable interest might be the “dunking station”. Mr Seet and Mr Ho probably took the longest time to actually get wet.

And yeah, for those of you who think so, let me clarify: No, I am not attached.

And so it is almost 24 hours since I’ve eaten a proper meal (not that I haven’t eaten anything; I have in fact ate a few pieces of bread) and I just spoiled myself at the ending of another book series: The Dark Tower. Damn, I just can’t stop flipping to the end of books to know the ending.

Anyway for those of you on the hunt for Stephen King E-Books, here’s a Russian site with the downloads of the books in English. Enjoy =)

Anyway, I’ve decided to buy the Dark Tower Series =) Gosh, I have become a hopeless fanboy. Halfway through the series. 4 more books to go!
