Vesak Day!!
Hey Oh!! Time to update!! Let's see, last Sunday I went service with Dennis and his cell group because fei ge not feeling well. Service was alright and so was his cell group members! ahaha! Fei ge was feeling much better, so he said he will accompany go get my MacBook! Yay! I head for home first and met him at Redhill at 3.30pm for lunch? We talked about stuff and basically everything like my concerns and all. Of all the big bros in the world, I've got the best one !! Yay! We took a train to City Hall and proceeded to Peninsular Plaza. He had 2 belts and he wanted to remove the bucket from one and replace to the other belt. Everything cost more than 10 bucks right? Including the screws and all. L0L! Expensiveness!! The funny thing is he cannot wear the previous belt that had the bucket on it. L0L! Time to lose weight bro! ^^ Or you can just give it to me! =]]] The latter sounds more logical because the formal is clearly not possible. L0L! Oh, then we went to get my guitar strings and the girl was from Tanglin my year one!! But no Tanglin discount leh! $8 so expensivess!! =[ And you know something? I still have yet to restring my guitar man! L0L! Then, we walked around to see belts and find this shop call "Drum Resources" because fei ge wanted to go. So hard to find, then found already not open. ~!@#$%^&* =] We walked to the bus stop after that to take a bus to Wheelock Place, but had to stop at Cineleisure there and walk! -.- On the way to Wheelock Place, we saw fei ge’s cell group leader, but she didn’t see us! L0L! After we reached the Apple Centre, I clarified with the staff about everything before I started looking for things to get with the $180 voucher. It’s quite stupid because they only allowed you to use the voucher on that day itself. The thing is that I still have to come back to collect my MacBook Pro, so why can’t I use it when I come back to collect it? I wanted to get the JBL Creature II speakers at first, which cost $169. However, I realized that the MacBook Pro doesn’t come along with a mouse and the mouse cost $88. I decided to take the mouse over the speakers. That means I still have $92 to spend and I had no idea what else to get, so fei ge helped me out. I got a protector for my iPod Nano, which is with my dear big bro now. -.= Also I got this screen protector for fei ge’s MacBook. After getting all of those, I still had $4 to spend, but there’s nothing in the shop that cost $4. I decided to forfeit that $4 because I’ll still get a free 1GB iPod Shuffle and a free Crumpler bag! Yay! L0L!
This is the part where Shawn starts to complain. L0L! The service at Apple Centre is just horrible la. I checked with the staff if I could put a deposit for the MacBook Pro and pay the rest the next time I come to collect it. He said it is possible and that’s why I agree to get it. During payment when I was at the counter, they said that I have to pay the full price for promotional items. I didn’t know if the cheque my dad gave to me had gone through yet, but I didn’t really have a choice but to pay anyway. They used my Visa and it was declined. They told me to pay $2,000 by Nets first. KNN! $2,000 worth of Visa points gone! It was accepted, then I paid another $1,000 by Visa and it was accepted too. I still left $448 to pay, but it kept declining. Seriously, I think the staffs like semi-retarded. I already paid $3,000 leh, do you think I will run away with the rest of the money and even the free gifts total up also == $180 + $139 $99 = $418 only. Anyone who knows simple math will know that I’m at the losing end if I run away with that $448. At most, you keep the free gifts with you all la, then when I come back and pay the rest then take. So scare for what sai? I verified that they were fully-retarded when they told me to go to the nearest ATM to withdraw the rest of the money. Don’t you know that the daily limit for Nets is $2,000? I still wanted to go just to check if I had enough in my account and I didn’t want to hold the line either. So fei ge and I had to go all the way to Far East Plaza because that was where the nearest UOB ATM was. Fei ge was super pissed off by their service. Scary!! He was more pissed than I was. L0L! We reached the ATM and I checked my card… UH OH Hot Dog! Available Balance: $99!! L0L! We really laughed out after seeing that. L0L! We went back to the Apple Centre and I just told them I couldn’t withdraw anymore because I have already reached the daily limit. Fei Ge told them “We already paid $3,000 for it, it’s not like we are going to run away or something”. L0L! Thanks bro! I think I would have been lost if fei ge wasn’t there to help me. =] I told them that I’ll pay the rest when I come to collect the laptop. They had to discuss with 200 other staffs about it. Ok, exaggerate abits, but they needed like 5 staffs including the “Boss”. Balls la. No brainer. L0L! In the end, they agreed. I mean seriously, what choice did they have? L0L! I already paid $3k, they will refund me meh? L0L! They also agreed to give me the gifts first. Everything was done about 8.30pm. Aiyo… I was really disappointed with their service la. Horrible!! =[ Ok, enough of complains from me. Is there a daily limit for Visa? No right? Now I scare already! L0L! Fei ge suggested that we have dinner at Fish & Co. and I told him I didn’t want to wash the plates. L0L! In the end, we still ate there and slacked for about an hour. I gave fei ge the Crumpler bag because the whole thing was in red and I don’t really like red bags. L0L! Ok, let me wrap it up. After dinner, we took a cab back and I reached home about 11pm plus. I did have a whole load of fun though excluding that incident Apple centre. L0L! Monday, project day and we did nothing as usual. Fei ge wasn’t feeling well. I went over to his place after school to help him pay for his bike lessons online at SSDC. He told me that they didn’t accept his Mastercard and he didn’t know why either. I left about 8pm and went home. Fei ge is a big bully! =[ Tuesday, project day… I think you all can help me complete the sentence already. L0L! Yes! You are correct! …and we did nothing as usual. L0L! No la, actually we had the panel review and it went pretty alright. There were supposed to be 3 lecturers, but only 1 came. Luckily, we knew that Wong Chong Meng kia. Chew Chong Meng’s cousin. L0L! The other lecturer only came when our group had completed the review. Actually we didn’t do anything for the rest of the day. 7 of us went for lunch at Al Azhar. Yay! Prata!! No more Al Azhar for the next 3 weeks! =[ In the afternoon, everyone was playing DotA in class and everyone got caught by that chao Poorninama, oops, I meant Poornima. L0L! She wrote a comment on all our logbooks, stating that we were playing computer games. She wrote in mine too although I didn’t even have a laptop with me because it was sent for repair. If you all know me, you all should know that I fight for what is right. However, that day I just could not be bothered and I really didn’t care. I didn’t have the mood to argue with her also. Write then write lo, I didn’t even say anything to her because it was really like whatever la. Oh well. I went home after school and I STUDIED!! L0L! It’s a wonderful accomplishment for me ok! I managed to read and understand 1.5 chapters before I fell asleep. L0L! I’m so proud of myself! =] Yesterday, lessons started at 9pm and I was on time! L0L! Oh, I saw Jeremiah’s wishlist on his laptop. The 4th thing on his list is so mean!! But it’s super hilarious la! L0L! Lessons were over by 11pm and Jeremiah, Weian and I completed our tutorials before leaving. Actually, we were supposed to do our mini-project, but the dateline was extended to the 27th of June. We decided to come back during the 2 week break to do it instead. Apple asked us to go out too, so we left for home around 1.30pm. Jeremiah, Weian and I met up at Bukit Batok again at 3pm before proceeding to Marina Square to meet her. We decided to watch Shrek 3!! The sneak previews were on yesterday and the tickets cost $9.50 each. Luckily, we saw Christina working there and she gave us the Safra membership rate at $8. Yay! L0L! The normal combo for the popcorn and large drink was $8 too. Expensiveness!! She charged us at only $2.80 and gave us a hot dog too! L0L! Yup! So we saved a lot of moneys! The movie was funny lo. That’s about it. L0L! After the movie, we walked around and went to Levis and Zara. I saw this pair of Relaxed Straight Cut Jeans at Levis. I want to buy lehh! Quite nice also, but I budget and I still owe Apple Centre $500. Oh well, we went to Yoshinoya for dinner and food was expensivess!! L0L! Everything seems to be so expensive these days man. After dinner, we decided to go to the Harry's Bar at Esplanade for drinks. We had a jug of Margarita Lime and I had another glass of Harry's 1992. Happy hour was already over and the prices were really steep. The Jug cost $58 and my cocktail, which tasted like canal water, cost $15. Ok, I really hate that bar! Don't ask me go Harry's Bar ever again!! Rahhhh!! It was 10.30pm when we left the bar and Weian had to go off first before he was meeting his friends. Apple, Jeremiah and I continued to walk around till about 11pm before we left. I reached home just past midnight. Today! I'm staying at home. L0L! My common paper is next Tuesday and I'm worried. =[ How? L0L! HOW? Emerge starts today until Sunday! I won't be going though because I'm not participating. Best of luck to Dennis too because he will be representing Ngee Ann in the Parade of Schools. Fei ge also serving for all four days, so please take care of your health! =] Ok, photo time!! Below are some photos, so check it out for yourselves! =] ![]() This is what we do on our regular project days. L0L! ![]() Isn't He COOL!? ![]() Maia! Don't eat me leh!! ![]() AWW... ![]() I'm sober!

I must take more photos from now on and put in my room, then it will be more roomy! L0L! Oh ya hoh, I still haven take photo with fei ge! =[ Nvm, faster cut your hair leh then can take photo. L0L!
