Weekly update. Fine, I'll update more often next time.Just that these few days (with the exception of the weekend) was pretty much life on the slow lane.
Met Dionetta in person for the first time in my life, and the first thing I did immediately after exchanging pleasantries was to direct her to a backdoor entrance of the school so she can leave early. Well I never.
Met some really nice TKSS chaps, Bessi (Lol Ye xi) and another chap who offered to ferry me to school since we live pretty close by. Good guys, them two. Found out that someone in my CG plays WoW. (ZOMG!) The blighter is already raiding SSC/TK! Shit. But hey, on the plus side, I get to annoy someone during Math tutorials and trash talk about WoW. Heh.
Waited or about an hour at Borders for the guys. Bought a Time magazine for the first time in my life, and actually sat down to read about current affairs. It's been what, eons since I got about reading things that are actually important. US elections, US economy and the recent Benazir Bhutto assassination. (Fine not so recent, go away troll. I just started reading.)
Decent food for thought, but most importantly, it helped to butcher time. Had lunch followed by dinner, then that was the day.
Saturday was a little more eventful, what with Jollyn, Joy, Darren, MC and me going to town to run some errands. The exact nature of it is still pretty much classified, for it has to be kept from prying, bear-y eyes =D. What can be said is this: Lots of laughs and fun were had.
Lunch that day was, ah, well, pretty okay. Had Pepper's Lunch, and TBH I don't quite see the big hoo-hah about it, but I give, it's nice and innovative. So innovative, infact, they had to tell us customers this on a large poster. (Can't quite remember exactly)
"Unique electric hot cooker design, patented in Japan."
"Funny line here, forgot."
"Patented in Japan."
Yeah it's so damn unique you have to tell us twice. Lol. I get the idea. Oh, the caramel ice cream thing is sinfully sweet and will kill you off with a sugar rush. But it's good, mmm yes. I mean, how bad can ice cream be? And caramel's caramel. They were meant to be together.
Next stop was the Crumpler shop, coz Joy and I were thinking of buying one.
I wanted a black (I like black. This also happens to be my blog. Go away. I know black is boring.) non-stripey one, but the cheapest one was too damn small =\. Looked really weird on me. Fine, let's move on to the bigger sized one. O noes, ugly grey stripes. Fail.
OOOOooo! Solid black and no stripes. So I reached for it, tried it on, got a few nods from Darren and Jollyn. Flipped to the price tag and it said this to me.
"LOL YO FACE PHAILS. I'M 183 BUX, YO!"
Why am I getting a crumpler? No, I don't care for joining the crumpler ranks, or the prestige of owning a crumpler.
1. Looks decent.
2. Durable, from what I've heard. (IMPORTANT.)
3. Doesn't contort no matter what you put in. (IMPORTANT.)
Is every point above worth $61? I didn't really think so.
Anyway, later on Darren and I decided to ask the shop assistant for help: A small solid black one. Turns out there was only one left, and a couple already had their grubby lil mits on it.
We were contemplating on saying "Crumplers are so over worn. How could anyone like this black one? Looks terrible!" loudly, just because we could and it'd mean they wouldn't buy the bag.
Of course, we're all good hearted people. I saw the bag I wanted disappear before my very eyes, and that was that.
Funny thing is, when I got home, I didn't really care for it either way. LOL. Prolly grab it next time when I'm out with my family, or not. Stupid expensive piece o crap. (Thought I must admit, it looks fairly decent.)
Full blown time table begins from tomorrow onwards. I have PE on Monday and Tuesday. Wth? Logic much?
