what a week. it's special because nothing happened. really
lets try to recap uh...
George returned to his Motherland for a month.
I lost a whole ton of cash to the sister.
Dad agreed that UNSW was a viable choice for further education
ipod skin and abercrombie jacket arrived in the mail.
I RECEIVED MY NS LETTER. damn
----------
sent Parel off on his homecoming. hahaha. had some wild drinking fest the previous night at my place.
cabbed down with Shireen, Eugene, Gaara and our black man himself and i remember the driver being uber unfriendly. asscracker.
airport's changed so much since I was last there. what happened to all the fountains and aquariums!? stewardesses were rather sub-standard. sorry to say. so these are the singaporean ambassadors eh?
there was this shop, C.E.D.S sporting equipment at T2 and they all made me pose in front of it to snap shots. super embarrassing. the sending off wasn't half as bad as I thought. no tears and all that emo stuff. rather happy affair in fact.
headed over to Dad's place for dinner and catching up after that.
----------
the sister is a master manipulator i swear. she went ahead and bought 2 flavors of aromatherapy oils for me. and then made me pay for it. what the. hahaha. the flavors were Peppermint and Eucalyptus. at least she knew what I'd burn and what i would not.
considering how I've been unemployed for a week now and am currently dirt poor, the amount I had to reimburse her was considered rather exorbitant.
and then there was the time when she bought KFC home as well. not some 2 piece meal, mind you but some family feast or something around that scale. smell was heavenly and i succumbed to it la. so $$$ FLY AWAY . i visualized little chicken pieces dancing around my mind chirping EAT ME EAT ME.
----------
made order for some red emo ipod skin (iskandar would be so proud) and a white abercrombie jacket. (contributed to my DIRT POOR status as of current) and they arrived on the same day in the mail.
clumsy me managed to botch the whole application process of the skin and tore the front portion. the back portion went up right though. i know i know. I'm hopeless at the whole delicate-fingers-carefully adjust-position-and-take-note-of-small-imperfections-and-iron-out-flaws THING.
so my black ipod video's left with the clickwheel sticker and the back portion. its alright. still looks emo enough. at least the abercrombie jacket treated me with more respect.

it was April 19th and somewhere around afternoon. was online chatting with Marlon and our good man was at work(still refusing to update his blog though. tak connect)
passed on the website to check NS posting to him. i checked it and it said :

he checked his and his date of posting was out. 13th July, Friday, BMTC 2 @ Tekong. letter hasn't yet arrived though. i VAGUELY remember him cursing in caps. i proceeded to laugh out loud at his 'plight'.
then Mindef dropped the bomb on me. came out of the shower at 7pm to see THE GREEN LETTER OF DOOM on my dining table. the woman must have brought the mail in already, i thought.
tore open the letter and there it was. my date and posting location for BMT. saw it coming somehow. but not so soon la!
guess what. 13th of July, Friday, BMTC 2, 11.30am @ Tekong. God does work his magic in the quirkiest of ways. CREEPILY COINCIDENTAL. proceeded to re-check the website and it was there already!
i VIVIDLY remember him laughing out loud at me on msn and this time, i was cursing in caps.
