I got my Creative EP-630 on Tuesday from the Mass Order! Not that I had time to blog about it even when I uploaded the pictures *sigh*
I went over to Farrer Park MRT at 10pm to collect it, was an enriching experience taking the bus into the place, and after taking a bus in, I decided I’ll take a train home instead.
Anyway, some pictures!
The deal was from a mass order, so it came without the boxes and all, but I still like it! Especially when I paid only $25 for it 
.
I found that the earphones were better than my previous Cresyn ones in terms of sound quality, though that may be the Placebo Effect. Comfort wise, I find that this beats my previous one flat, and this can’t be placebo!
The only thing I didn’t like about these pair of earphones is the Straight Connector, I prefer L shape ones because I usually pull the connector to take my MP3 Player out of the Pouch. Also, I like the Cresyn Pouch more since it can fit my iPod Nano inside, so I’m still using that

As I’ve mentioned, I took the train home.
During my journey towards Farrer Park, I took a bus there – or two buses since I had to change. I took only 20 to 25 minutes to reach there.
As for the journey back, I took the train from Farrer Park to Serangoon, and then changed to the Circle Line home – all with barely any waiting time – and I took 25 minutes to reach home. If there were waiting time, they’d have added another 15 minutes to the journey, since I would have narrowly missed the NEL Train, and would have needed to wait 8 minutes for the next one, and 7 minutes on the Circle Line.
Cost wise? Buses were free (since I bought the concessionary pass), and I paid $1.45 for the train ride home.
In which any case, I still think taking the train home was worth it that day :\.
So whoever said trains were faster…

I can’t wait for this week to be over!
Time to go back to studying for the test tomorrow, sigh 
I have this feeling that I’m probably going to flunk it – primarily because I hardly understood much for this entire week since it was Full of Math, and secondarily, genius me lost all my notes and materials when I accidentally left my Thumbdrive in school today while rushing off to another place! Hopefully it’ll still be there tomorrow or some kind soul picked it up and returned it.
(:
PS.: I’m allergic to stupidity – and definitely not stupidity based on level of intelligence.

I wanna add my portfolio and other pages into this site soon, rather than keeping it as just a blog.

I bought a Creative EP630 from someone the other day! Hopefully I can collect and start to use it soon 
. I got it at about half the usual price – $25!

Meanwhile, I really dislike my assignment – just one particular one that’s irritating me, and I mean really irritating me.

Alternatively, hover over the image and you can open each image.
I can’t believe I spent so long building an Image Map! I won’t do it again unless I have to. Now J can stop complaining that I don’t upload full images.
I went to Suki Sushi with the excos for a gathering on Sunday.
As usual, it was full of laughter.

After the buffet lunch, we went walking about. We ended up at Borders soon after.
Mini Rant: At Borders, I saw, a whole range of books on sale (3 for the price of 2). I started looking for the book I was trying to find – “Like the Flowing River” by Paulo Coelho. Paulo Coelho’s entire bibliography (even if it wasn’t the entire, there was many, and I mean many) was displayed there – yes, everything – save for that book.
I wonder how much effort it would take to find one book like that. It’s not an old book, just published barely 3 years ago in 2006. I mean, they even had The Alchemist, The Devil and Miss Prym and The Valkyries there, which were far older than that book (okay fine, using Alchemist as a comparison is horrible, since that’s his best-selling book). Arrrrrrrrgh, annoying!

Holidays are here – or “holidays” I would say.
If I’ve anything to grouse about the holiday programme lined up, it’s the time I need to report to school – 9am. I was looking forward to sleeping in, but it just turned out to be the same time as the usual school term. Waking up at 7am ftw.
I was thinking if the title should have been “Je déteste la Français“. Kidding, I like the language – it’s just a pain to learn an entirely new language unless you’re living in an environment where you’re forced to speak it.

I met J after lessons today since he so happened to be around with the guys for a competition briefing/lecture. We had lunch at the canteen, then went off to the Library because he wanted to visit it. Since we were there, I took the chance to look for the book I’ve been trying to find – “Like the Flowing River” – before heading to AMK Hub.
Amazingly, there was one copy of the book left. I borrowed it – for reasons I’ve yet to find out yet.
We had milk tea from Koi Cafe before heading over to the Times Bookshop Warehouse Sale at the Industrial Park.

I think the Warehouse Sale was more for selling away books from lesser known authors whom produce lesser known books. There also seemed to be leftover rejected stock for the more popular books going at $5. I think the popular books (rejected stock with minor defects) already got taken away.
There was a minute section for the newer books, but they were only going at a 20% off price. The selection there was pityful. I saw Dorothy Koomson’s books there, “Marshmallows for Breakfast” and “Goodnight, Beautiful” – was tempted to buy the latter since I read the former and liked it, but I told myself not to.
I walked around trying to find the book – “Like the Flowing River” – and in a not so suprising outcome, to no avail. I bought The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom instead, and that cost $11.
After that we went back to AMK Hub to meet S and then we went back after meeting the guys who just finished their briefing.

Je déteste les Français test demain.
I went to watch Hannah Montana on Tuesday night, with J and J – and I really liked the movie!
Screencap from the Trailer – picture stolen from J
I’ve never watched Hannah Montana before, not even the previous episodes of it.
The only reason why it caught my attention was because of the Trailers that were screened before Movies, and if I just had to find one reason to grouse about the movie, that would be the reason.
I felt that the movie didn’t really reflect what was shown in the Trailer. In fact, it was quite different. For example, from the Trailer, I’d have expected the movie to show her picking a choice, since they’d said “she’s had the best of both worlds, now she has to choose one”, but the movie never reflected so, they merely showed her exposing her double life identity, never making a choice.
Notwithstanding the differences between the Trailer and the Movie itself, the movie didn’t disappoint.
The storyline was sweet and touching ♥. I especially liked the songs in the movie – Hoedown Throwdown, Dream, You’ll Always Find Your Way Back Home, The Climb, Butterfly Fly Away – they’re all nice!
I’m listening to the OST over and over again .

Before the movie, I went to Woodlands Library to study with J, then J came around dinner time and we went to Pastamania to eat. We shared a 12″ Hawaiian Pizza, used my $10 Pizza Voucher, so the cost ended up at about $5 per person.
Over the course of Dinner, I realised, I can’t contribute anything into their conversation at all, or maybe I just have nothing to talk about at all. Disaster.
The problem could have just been with me, hmm…
It makes me feel like not attending Friday.
Anyway, I bought a new hard plastic card holder for my lanyard since the soft plastic one tore .
