Great. I've managed to walk to the disgusting part of holland village.

the six-thousand-dollar man

this is very very very dumb.

iced café americano--venti size, no less--and two hours = need to pee. which you cannot do because the toilet is ten meters away, and your EVERYTHING is on the table in front of you. your two-hundred-dollar blazer, five-hundred-dollar iPod, three-hundred-dollar (six if you don't count the two-year-plan) Motorola PEBL, five-dollar Starbucks Iced Café Americano, three-hundred-dollar DKNY chronograph, thousand-dollar camera, hundred-dollar Apple Wireless Mouse, two-hundred-dollar Crumpler Hee-Goer and three-thousand dollar Apple PowerBook.

that is nearly six thousand dollars. yes, i computed it.

this is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad situation.

ebisu-minami, shibuya-ku, tokyo, japan/andra långgatan, göteborg, sweden/lorong 3 geylang, singapore, singapore

i've spent a stupid amount of time today in Google Earth. but at least now i know where jiawei's and kenneth's internship offices are.

i also found my own place (took me like fifteen seconds), dawn's place(about a minute or so), sham's place (surprisingly easy to find as well) and my aunt jacqueline's place. kenneth and jiawei's places are covered by dense cloud and hence cannot be pinpointed.

my, how the bored suffer.

a little late

it may be a little late, and a little slow, but aren't the pictures taken with my PEBL a little grainy?

contempt and disarray

all i feel like doing today is spreading contempt, rumours, lies, untruths, disdain, scorn, disregard, abhorrence and disarray.

Fiona Apple helps keep all this within reasonable check.

this century sucks

i need to get over this feeling of pissed-off and venomous.

SWEDEN. FUCKING SWEDEN.

FRICKIN' A.

I left the DVDs behind.

fuckin' a

so i thought: heck, just go to the Kings Of Convenience peformance by yourself.

tickets are no longer available.

faster and faster

they're getting faster and faster. i barely noticed their presence from the Dell PC and at lunch.

noise--a lot of noise

ONE - Franz Ferdinand has sold out. big time. there is little left for them to sell. perhaps their ashes, when they die?

TWO - the new Walkman campaign is seriously weak. and Jean Danker (or her aural doppelgänger) doesn't help matters.

THREE - how can you base an entire campaign on the stunner of a weak line, "Everything Else Is Just Noise"? how?

life fucking sucks

here i am, three AM, fresh back from a BBQ where, while the food was rather good, i royally wasted my time.

and today is the last fucking day of the fucking Asian Aerospace 2006, which won't happen for another two years, during which i could either be in the army or be so sad there would be no one to go with me, and i would have fucking paid twenty-one fucking dollars if it fucking meant that i could see the fucking Airbus A380 in person.

when 2008 rolls around, the Airbus A380 won't fucking be there, will it?

but today is a Sunday, and if i want to go to the airport to send jiawei off in the evening, i have to stay home all day.

this fucking sucks. i want out. you hear me? i fucking want out.

good luck

japanese drama cannot watch at the same tims as you're doing stuff on your PowerBook. because you can't just listen to what is going on. you have to pay attention to the screen and read the subtitiles.

free schwag

See jinghui? I have free Wang-Wang Rice Crackers too.

i think it's cute that they still include free shiny stickers in the packaging. pointless, since i have yet to meet anyone that wants them, but cute.

talk is cheap

why is almost everyone either MIA or utterly daft?

no milkshake

Funan has a great affinity with me today. here i am again, for the second time today. this time it is my source of sustanance--McDonald's to be exact.

false advertising, by the way. they don't have milkshakes here yet.

i think i'll go back to the esplanade now.

sympatico

here i am, at the Esplanade Roof Terrace, where i will be until eight o'clock passes or my PowerBook's battery runs out.

no, i didn't go get the DVD burner, even though i was standing right outside Funan a hour ago. i also did not exchange my broken portable hard disk enclosure or get one for my full-size hard disk.

all of the erosion/whatever that's happened to the silver aluminum case of my PowerBook shows right up in direct sunlight. it's slightly disgusting and very saddening--especially the fact that nothing can be done for it.

"i don't want work,
i don't want lunch,
i just want to forget,
and then i smoke."

should do

-upgrade PowerBook to 1280 MB of RAM
-dream about buying a MacBook Pro just for the backlit keyboard
-get Armani Exchange knit blazer at 30% off
-get agnès b. messenger bag (sac subway or sac street)
-buy DVD burner for Dell PC
-buy stash of blank DVD-Rs (DL and SL)
-turn command of French language into something impressive and undeniable (must be fluent)
-get hair cut (is a must)

-distract oneself from one's life (see above)

don't delay/moto pebl

this is the Kenneth Cole Reaction "Don't Delay" watch. i wanted this watch way back when, when it was an older design. this is the "facelifted" one--still good-looking, though. i can't find the original design.

now, i no longer need that, because i have this:


though, come to think of it, they would go quite well together...

Note to iPod: I do not fucking want to listen to the bloody Beatles when i'm in the pissed off mood.
