you know you are one of the pickiest freaks on this planet when it comes to buying chinese new year clothes when

1. you have been to batam for three days in december, where cheap clothes and shopping malls are aplenty;
2. you have been to johor one weekend a couple of weeks back;
3. you walked all the way from the start of citylink to the end of suntec city on thursday;
4. you hopped from bugis to orchard to city hall all by mrt just now

and still returned home empty-handed.

no new year clothes for me this year.

yesterday i had dinner with my jc classmates at marina south's pin xian bbq/steamboat, at the expense of an outing with jackson and the rest of my bmt friends. it makes me really guilty that jackson has been trying in vain to get me on the outings he organises because something always crops up. venki made a suprise appearance, with the rest of the usual gang accounting for the numbers. after dinner, followed by pool (which i wasn't involved in), it was past midnight. thus began the neat-feat-of-a-hike from marina south to north bridge road where i took the freaking night rider. to my horror there wasn't one that dropped me off at my house. took nr1 and alighted opposite bishan mrt. i decided to walk home instead of taking a cab and reached home at a record-breaking 3 am. i seriously wonder how many km i walked.

didn't really feel like blogging for the past couple of days. for me the entire week was a sickening drag, having to face office politics and my pathetic self-esteem and what not. weng lock agrees.. i'm probably too hard on myself sometimes. moronic words from the mouth of a lazy bummer? don't judge, you don't know me.

tomorrow's guard duty and i'm falling sick. everything in my life right now seems to be a mess, now that i'm seeing everything in retrospect on this blog. the thought of cny approaching this week makes for some comfort though..hols! it's gonna be my first cny as an saf personnel.
