Dum de Dum..
Allright, shall post updates from friday. Since i had quit my job, went out to town in the morning/afternoon and came back home in the evening to follow my mum to watch my sis recieve the colours award. The colours award is given to those for excellence in sport i guess, and the top 5% of athletes in Singapore? The GoH there was teo ser luck, a fellow triathlete-cum-MP. He rides a cervelo P3c(a bicycle) thats easily costs 5 times the cost of mine. So that would mean his bike costs around 10 grand? More actually.

And i should mention that the school in which my sis recieved the award, is one of the best looking schools in Singapore, Cheng Chung High(Yishun) although my sis's school(Singapore Sports School) looks better.
After the event, we went to ExxonMobil at thompson because i was craving Ben n Jerry's and the only places that will have Ben n Jerry's at all times are petrol stations. So we went in there and i picked up my usual stuff, e.g. Famous Amos Cookies, Drinks, 3 Ben n Jerry's...
However, my mum only let me take one tub of ice cream :( I passed her all my stuff to make the purchase and went to sit in the car as there was no one there.
Suddenly my mum gets into the car screaming[ok lar exaggarating abit hor... =) ] about how spoilt i am and asking me why i have to eat ice cream that costs $23
$23!!!??? WTF?!!!!
I was pretty sure that Ben n Jerry's costs only $11.50 and when i looked at the reciept, that idiot of a cashier had scanned the same tub two times. Allright an honest mistake, so i went to get my refund.
I waited for my turn in the queue and politely told him that he had made a mistake and that i wanted a refund.
The cashier looks at recipet and ponders like an old man for a minute, which is a very long time if you are standing in a long queue. And then..
The Cashier: (Insert Indian accent here) Ah! You know, you can go and take another tub of ice cream.
Me: I don't want another tub, i'd just like a refund
The Cashier: No no no! i telling you, you take another one. Now got special promotion, don't worry about it
A bloody promotion which there is no discount!?!?!?!
Me: No thanks, i'd just prefer the money back
The Cashier: I tell you boy, you just take another tub, this ice cream very very nice! Very good!Everybody also like to eat, you take it now before everyone buy everything! After that no more!
Me: *Stares at the idiotic cashier* while people behind me start to become restless
Me: Call your manager
The Cashier: Ok sir i giving you refund now, sorry sorry.
What a bloody waste of my time. Grrrrrrrrrr
Went back home after that DotA-ed all the way till 2a.m. Knocked out after that.
Saturday
Woke up in the morning and went to collect my guitar! Woohoo! But bloody hell, i had to go all the way to Jurong East MRT to collect it. Nicholas came first and passed my the guitar, had to wait for Alvin to come to pass me the amp. Me and Nicholas were talking about guitars while waiting for Alvin, who came like 20 minutes later. I collected my amp and set off home.
As the amp was rather heavy, and carrying both the guitar and the amp was rather award, i took a cab back home. Once at home i set up the guitar and started playing! And that was when i made a fatal mistake. I called victor to come over and check out my bass. He needed all of 2 mins with my guitar to destroy 2 of its strings.
Actually he was trying to tune it when the strings popped. So not really his fault completely.
We went off the play soccer, and had a rather fun game. Played for around 2 hrs and then came home showered and went off for dinner with my bro and sis. And as my dad was overseas and my mum was out, we located his car keys and my bro took us for a spin at upper pierce! Fun stuff!
After that we went to buy food at casurina, and decided to take-away as the soccer matches were starting. So i was standing in the queue with my sis for about five mins, when the person in front of me in the queue turned behind and said, "Hi Pirakash!". I almost had the shock of my life. Hahaa, turned out that it was Azmi's dad and he was buying dinner. Talked to him for around 10 mins(the queue was rather long) and after that set off home.
The day ended on a sad note for me, as Man Utd drew 1-1 with Reading, of all people. =(
Sunday
Woke up and did the usual morning stuff before eating a sumptious lunch of crabs chicken and fish. Yum Yum!
After that my bro, sis and i set of for thompson plaza as i had to repair the strings which victor broke. My bro and sis waited in the car whilst i went to get it repaired. If u had read the previous entry, you would have known that i got scammed there big time. However the guy who was repairing my string was rather nice and explained to me about the guitar and stuff. =)
After getting my strings fixed, we headed off the raffles city shopping centre to get shoes. Actually both my bro and sis went to get shoes. My sister is sponsored by New Balance so she went there to get a pair of shoes. She could choose and pair and it would be completely free!!! She also has a 50% discount on everything else in the shop..which is why my bro and i went along...hehehe(insert evil laughter here).
I have way too many shoes and way too many torn socks, so i just bought 5 pairs of socks. However when both my bro and sis got measured, we found other that both their feet were not of equal size. Meaning my sister's right foot was bigger then her left and the same for my bro. However thier feet looks normal, but i resorted to calling my bro a freak the whole day. Hehe :)
So both my bro and sis bought a pair of shoes each and then we headed of to Chippy's for fried mars bars!!! Yee ha!
So after we left raffles city, we decided to go to number 2 ridley park, a place i go to whenever i need inspiration to make money, the guy in the house has around $15 million worth in cars, and the house alone is reported to cost around $20-odd million.
The house. This picture is decieving, this house is at least eight times bigger than my place, which is not exactly very small either. Imagine the size! There's a swimming pool in the middle of the house! Those of you who used to watch Chinese serials on channel eight might remember this house. It was used as the house of the king of gamblers. Yup the one with the huge eagle fountain in front!
The car line-up.(from left) Ferrari 550:$750,000, Ferrari F50:$2-3 million, Ferrari Enzo:$4 million, Pagani Zonda:$2.5 million, Lamborghini Murcielago:$1.1 million
After looking at this, we went back home to my uncle's place(he lives in the same estate as us). So some pics..lazy to type =)
Came back home just in time to play soccer, played for around an hour, after that played the guitar with gerald, he's 3 yrs younger then me, but has a fender and completely owned me! He's pretty good for a 14-yr old!
Watched Singapore idol after that, Hady was better, but jonathan's gonna win.
Left for the airport at around 9:45, to pick up my dad and older sis, who just came from business and holidays respectively. Had a nice chicken whopper meal whilst waiting. After they arrived came back home surfed the net for a while and slept like a log.
