Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl

Left and right, aunties are pouring in the ang paus. I am not hesitant to accept. Simply because I am running low on pocket money and every single one of these ang paus will help. Now, everything is 'ok' again. I should be able to live off these ang paus for another few more months. After which, I will have to start to eat into my bank savings again.

Overall, the CNY break has been pretty good. A four day weekend, spending it with family, it was nice. I guess the same will happen in another year or so.

Last evening, Earl and I spent time with Florent as a final goodbye. We went to Earl's place to have dinner then we played soccer on the XBox. Initially, I was supposed to go down to Pastor's house for a CNY dinner. However, the dinner kinda clashed with our farewell dinner with Florent, so instead of going to Pastor's house, I chose to spend it with Earl and Florent. After all, Pastor's house will be here for as long as I'm here.

Initially, I was planning to go to pastor's house (which is approximately 1 hour from Earl's place), spend an hour or so there, then head off. We left the house at 3pm, got to the closest MRT station at 4pm, and took the bus that they told us to take. However, we didn't know where to drop off because they told us to look for this road which wasn't specified on the Bus Route Brochure. We sat on the bus, and waited and waited, eventually ending up at the bus terminal. By the time we were at the bus terminal, it was close to 5pm, and I was meant to meet up Earl and Florent at 6pm. No way was I gonna make it in time if I went to Pastor's house.

So I decided to take a taxi to the nearest MRT station and head back, as Amoz continued on to Pastor's place. Basically, I wasted my time and money going all the way down to Pastor's place and heading back. I didn't know that was gonna happen and if I knew we were not gonna find the place in time, I would have just stayed back. Oh well, things happen.

But I made the right choice. Going back to Earl's place was a choice I never regretted because I really enjoyed playing XBox and spending time with Florent and Earl. Maybe it was because I played pretty well and managed to beat the two of them in the closing stages of the night for the Konami Cup. In any case, it was very satisfying.

I can't help but start thinking about the cruise. It's so near. But I'm not focusing too much on the cruise because I know I have a few more days of work to go till I can actually leave the country. You could say I'm containing my excitement because there's no point getting all excited when I have to drag my so-very-depressed carcase through work first. One thing at a time.

In all honesty, I wasn't actually planning on bringing the camera on the cruise. I think I got all caught up by the thought of just wandering around by myself not having a care in the world of what is happening, I didn't stop to think about taking some photos during the cruise. But thanks to Sarah, she pointed out that I should take some photos during the cruise and I reckon it's a great idea! =P Thanks Sarah!

So hopefully when I return, I will have many photos for all of you to see!

I will try my best to take as many photos as I can. And I also promise that I will post a ridiculous number of photos on the blog so that you guys can be entertained. It will take a long time trying to get them all nice and pretty on the blog, but for you guys, anything. =P That is, provided I go 'camera-crazy'. ^^ Nevertheless, I reckon it will be cool!

I apologise for the very mundane blogging style during the last few posts. The reason being, there hasn't really been all that much to blog about. I try to blog about as many stupid and silly things as possible, but I think it's gotten a bit repetitive. At this time, I have to wait for the cruise to try to bring back some stories and then after that, it'll be another month of 'mundaneness', but after that, it'll be time for the army. I'm sure once I'm in the army, there will be very interesting stories that I can tell without breaching too many laws. I'll be crying as I get these stories for you guys to read because they'll probably torture us in the process. A great story right there.

But I'm sure there will be something more interesting to read than me retelling stories of having to control myself from regurgitating food from lunch and spewing it all over the work computer.

What can I say?
