Friday, July 9

I'm okay now. Some time spent playing pool and 2 days with no classes helped me. I don't care what they say about attending classes, I don't feel like going then I won't go I'd rather rejuvanate myself. AND I FINALLY BEAT RANDY AT BLOODY POOL! WOOOOOOOO stupid game anyways I keep failing to sink those simple shots in

So I cut my hair before I went to school to do some stuff today. And then I went to school to meet my staff-mentor and discuss stuff with some people. Nobody went "WOW KOK YOU CUT YOUR HAIR SO HANDSOME" so either I look ridiculous or I look no different. So I met my staff mentor. Oh I said that already. And we talked. I told her how I didn't like the modules the semester, how bloody awful I think my lecturers are, how the food stall is overcharging us and selling bad food, why a certain lecturer wears blue shirts everyday and stuff like that. So I type here an excerpt of our conversation.

Christine Sun(lecturer/staff/mentor/whatever) : So what were you bad at?
Me: Programming
Christine: And why are you doing badly this semester?
Me: Because there's programming

And so on. After that I left for the Orchard Area in search of something.

movie tickets

AH-HA! NANNY NANNY POO POO I HAVE FREE TIX AND YOU DONT I HAVE FREE TIX AND YOU DONT! Okay, now I wanna crow about my coup. I heard on the radio a few days before that Carrie Chong was supposed to be outside Wheelock plaace dressed like some warrior and giving out free tickets so I took advantage of a free day to go down there and get free tickets. I'm not kiasu or cheapskate!!! I just wanna return a favour to a friend who treated me to a movie last time when he got free tickets himself. So yah. But I got them from the hands of Rod Monteiro though. Carrie Chong was there but she was surrounded by an army of schoolgirls and horny boys wanting to see through her translucent skirt, Mark Richmond, who I think bears a resemblance to the Dutch soccer star Ruud van Nistelrooy, was just standing and walking in circles, and Monteiro was giving out tickets. So what do you do???? GO QUEUE FOR THE NOT-SO-GOOD-LOOKING PERSON SMART RIGHT ME FEWER PPL CONFIRM YOU CAN GET TICKETS

So when it was my turn this was what Rod Monteiro said to me

Monteiro: wasssup dude!
(hands over tickets)
Me: (mumbles) thank you
Monteiro: Thank you too!

so that was it. Nothing really quote-worthy but hey, that's my first time actually talking to a media personality and the voice I've been hearing on my way to school during my time in secondary school so I'm still gonna put it down. HAH! And I spent the next minutes in Borders gloating over my coup. And I'm gonna continue gloating. It's not the first time I've recieved free tickets but still, HAH!!

After that I headed for the bus stop to go back to school and if you wander around Orchard Road often enough, you'd know there's this Indian lady outside Cineleisure sometimes who comes up to you asking whether you want tissue and then if you say how much she'll reply "how much is up to you" or something like that. Which is very smart actually because you'll end up feeling very bad if you give her like 10 cents. AND SHE CAME UP TO ME TWICE WITHIN 3 MINUTES DO I LOOK RICH OR........i dunno. Ridiculous
probably.

There was this caucasian man there too who was winking at me. WHY ARE YOU WINKING AT ME YOU BIG BALD CAUCASIAN. And there was this little kid who stared at me and went "Mommy mommy, look at that big guy....." but I didn't hear what he had to say about me. Wonderful day wandering along the streets of Orchard Road. AND HAH I GOT FREE MOVIE TICKETS I KNOW YOU WANT TO BEAT ME UP.

And then I looked down and saw that I hadn't zipped up.
