if you aint got no money, if you aint got no money

as much as i do enjoy reading other bloggers' lengthy blogposts (i really do)
i realised i usually keep mine comprehensive and short. (lies!)
i also love to add multiple paragraphs.
usually it's 4 stanzas. and then i'll start another para.

like now. (sure)
but seriously, i feel rather keen to learn another language.
not to master it, but to know it.
i mean, i can more or less decipher what people say in Chinese, (and i'm proud of it)
thanks to SBC 5 and TCS 8, Mediacorp Ch8 dramas since 1992.

i was at China Square Central. there was this loose Transformers figure for sale.
and i asked the store owner's friend, "how much is this loose figure?"
"25 dollars"
"erm, no thanks then" i replied politely. i mean, a played before loose figure at that price?

and then he said to his friend in Chinese, "he thinks this kind of things is cheap. if its 5 dollars then he'd buy"

i stared at him,
he felt unsecured,
i sensed he felt embarassed over his comment,
he sensed i felt victory.

the language of love. i wanna be like Shawnrick, he can watch Sentai 'RAW' without subtitles.
i need that. watching the Sentai raw would be essential to be updated. especially when i can't find the fansubbed version anywhere else. gahhh.
yes. Japanese it shall be. as if.

i finally got it back from my bus freak friend... cant believe i gave it away for free... but to get it back wasnt easy i had to exchange it with another desto (aka destination plate) i had to trade this rare 97 temporary desto... he didn't force me for it, but i felt it was only nice to give something in return.... especially like in this case when i ask for this 185 desto back.. whats so special bout 185? three reasons.. 1) this bus is my childhood service...always took it 2) this service is no longer in existence... so imagine how rare the desto is 3) i ride on the improved version of this service almost daily Improved?? here, a lil explanation 185 (my era) from Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 185 was handed over from SBS to TIBS in 1998 due to an agreement.. 185 merged with the newly introduced 989 to become 185 Choa Chu Kang to Jalan Anak Bukit (loop) 989 Choa Chu Kang to Changi Airport PTB 1 & 2 185 + 989 = 985 985 Choa Chu Kang to Geylang Lorong 1 so now, i freq

great. what's been up with me is this. as mentioned way too many time in the utmost gentle manner ever possible. i am done with my driver course. i belong to the early bunch who finished our TP. TP was special cos unlike the member of the public who did their TP test using civilian cars, we used out big lorries for the test. so whos test was tougher? u decide. we were supposed to get OFF. but today, tsk tsk, i ended up doing loads of cleaning. and so i guess tomorrow as well. til 9th march! transport supervisor course. back to route marches and field camp. after fieldcamp now without field camp and route marches plus loads of diabetes Milo from the canteen. and yes. looking back at pictures, i need field camp and route marches. getting fatter. tsk tsk. need gym badly. its been 3 weeks without the treadmill and weights. --------------------------- and my greatest camp companion apart from my PSP would be the books that accompanied me through the night. sleeping at past midnight just
