I just spent $500 on an 15GB iPod, thinking that I had $700 balance in my account. Too bad, I later found out that I only had $550! Of course I can't possibly spend every single dollar that I have; that would be against my practices. Shucks, so now I only have $2 to spend for the next two weeks!!! -cries-
Also, it's either that I'm really dumb, or that this thing is really damn hard to learn to use. Though it's most probably the former, I should think. I read the manual in and out about 3 times and had to ask Christine quite a lot (a lot a lot) of questions to figure it out. Haiyah!! -punches himself-
I have live firing tomorrow. Let's see, I'll be firing three rounds of subcalibre armbrust, and two m203 grenades. The range is all the way at the SAFTI MI range at Pasir Lebar (my camp is east singapore in tekong). Lots of sleepy time in the bus! :)yay

I'm constantly pondering whether to buy the Creative MuVo 4GB, the Phillips 1.5GB player, or the silver framed polarized Oakley sunglasses. All are nice to have, but neither are necessary. The good (or maybe bad?) thing is that they all cost the roughly the same, give or take $30-40, so that leaves cost out of the consideration factor. Decisions, decisions, decisions! Bah.
Just got back from this chocolate place, Max Brenner, at Esplanade with a couple of friends. This little cafe thing serves really good chocolate stuff!! The chocolate souffle is wonderful, and so is the suckao thingy. The latter is more of a ripoff novelty, being basically just a do-it-yourself shot of chocolate milk consiting of better chocolate chips. And it cost me $5.90! That's like what, a 5000000% profit margin??
It was amazing how similar this week's sispec army training was to school life. Days and days of lectures on all sorts of things, of course with the essential sleepy head bobbing. And tests! Lots and lots of tests, ranging from weapon technical handling to safety regulations to demolition characteristics. Very interesting, nontheless. :)

Went to church today for Easter service. It was quite enjoyable, and I actually understood what the sermon was about (aren't all Easter sermons the same, anyway?). Mike Cheong made some choc chip cookies together with his girlfriend; they actually tasted good! I guess you could name them choc chip cookies, topped with love. Haha, how lame.
Sheryl came over to hang out today. Should have gone out to Orchard!! But instead she claimed to be tired and sleepy, only to regret not having left for town later. Wasted, man. Have lots of stuff to buy. Need lots of clothes. I think wearing the same shirt to church every other week might not give others that much of a good impression.
Again, the sun was terrible today. You wouldn't imagine how sleepy I was the entire day. The feeling was good, though :) I like being sleepy and tired and having the opportunity to sleep when and how I want :) Good ol' days. Haha.
I need all these 'haha's to steer away my 'back-to-camp' blues. It sucks to be in the army, man.

The weather is sooooo hot! I feel like falling alseep all the time, despite the fact that I've already slept quite a LOT today. Then I wake up and the weather takes its toll on me again, and back to sleep! What a waste of a bookout :S
Mom woke me up with a phone call at 9am today, to tell me that the sewing machine man was on his way! Wah lao, who works so early in the morning?!
I need to buy something... just can't figure out what it is! I remembered it for the whole of last night, and now it's completely just skipped outta my mind. Sucks, man! Hope it's not some army thing or else i'll get screwed. AGAIN!
Ah. Have no idea what to write. The weather's just too bad for anything to do with thinking. Haha, I pity the poor people who have to study with such crappy weather like this. I suppose that's what nights and early mornings are for, right?
