funny, funnier, funniest
e.g:
The paper bag was in terrible pain so he went to see a doctor.
Physician: I'm afraid your condition is incurable
Paper Bag: Oh no! How did i catch this?
Physician: It's genetic. Your grandfather was a carrier.
^_^ that was funny right! haha. got others also but i forgot.
Ok then you know sometimes in those jokes sections there's this 'funny, funnier, funniest' column. It's like 3 jokes, each one linked to each other, and the supposedly increasing in funny-ness.
So presenting to you 3 videos, Funny, Funnier and Funniest. you MUST MUST MUST watch in the correct order (as presented), otherwise you wont think it's funny at all. If you have no time at all and can't wait till next time to watch all 3.. just watch the last one then, though the funny factor drops 99%.
FUNNY

FUNNIER
An indian spoof of that music video

Prodigal - One Republic (lyrics)
Damn nice song! I went to Google 'sajc project work results' to see if my blog would be picked up but it didnt :/ saw another sajc blog so i just went there to check it out, realised was my friend's friend's blog. Then found this song on her blog!
Anyway she was appealing for someone to help find lyrics of this song cos it couldnt be found. so i went to the most reliable source i knew http://letssingit.com but they also didn't have! ran searches on various search engines but also dont have :S Decided to try to figure out lyrics myself.
Besides the mumbly mumbly bridge, i think i got the whole thing figured out. I can't figure out what on earth the singer is mumbling on the 2nd line! My best guess is 'But only if you smile to day light' but it doesnt make sense at all!
The rest should be accurate, figured out by listening many times and using logic (seeing if it makes sense) correct me if you think it's wrong =)
Prodigal - One Republic
We say goodbye i turn my back
run away run away so predictable
Not far from here you see me cry
like a bone like a bone i'm so breakable
I'll take everything from you
but you won't take anything
wont you
CHORUS:
Run away run away like a prodigal
dont you wait for me
dont you wait for me
So ashamed so ashamed
But i need you so
and you wait for me
and you wait for me
I'm on the road to who knows where
Look ahead, not behind i keep saying
There's no place to go where you're not there
On your rope i hold tight but it's fraying
I'll take everything from you
but you wont take anything
wont you
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Everybody wants to be right
-indecipherable mumbling-
i keep trying to find my way back
my way back
CHORUS,
Run away run away
run away from you
From you from you from you

(when you figure out the guitar tabs for a song on guitar it's 'tabbed by xxx' right. so.. lyricced :p )
sajc project work results
Woo. i deliberately made the first few words like that so that this will get picked up by search engines. lol.
Ok all refer to Straits Times Home section, page H6. Read the article on Project Work.
Now refer to a particular quote of a teacher from an unknown JC .. it's in the right-most column:
"No school will be dumb enough to mark its students down."
O RLY. (translation : oh really?)
From what i heard from inside sources (teachers) from my school, a particular teacher from SAJC who is a senior teacher and hence has a big hand in dealing with the PW stuff actually moderated many scripts down by several marks. I dont think the sources will lie about this right.
(don't bother asking me who the sources are, i wont tell even with torture. rawr. i'm loyal. but i will tell who the senior teacher is though it should be pretty obvious)
WHY WHY WHY . dumb teacher.

horror fest
ever heard of 'when you're on top, the only way you can go is down?'
I wonder what is better, doing well consistently and always feeling the pressure of maintaining that standard, or not doing well regularly and always feeling the pressure of improving to hit a certain desired standard?
I've been thinking for some time and couldn't reach a definite conclusion. both ways, the pressure is still there, though different in the sense. Though personally i would prefer the 2nd one.
That is also the reason why i wasn't THAT depressed or anything when i got E for Maths in my JC1 Common Test. I told myself that it was just a learning process - there is only room for improvement from here on.
And sure enough i did improve a whole lot in the promos.
The pressure of maintaining a standard is pretty high. Unique in a way as i've never really felt it so strongly before until now. I mean.. top 10 in school wth!? Since thursday when i passed some friends they'll like 'wa alan not bad ah. top student' then i'll respond in the usual and expected way like 'ha no la. ok only'. Yknow, cannot be arrogant and all. Sucha WEIRD feeling. I don't mind doing just ok, not bad for these tests now. And strive towards a better result as i near 'A's. Maintaining a high standard is tough. :/
Anyway, just borrowed like 10 horror movies from twins, found out only about 3 works. -_- watching one called 'headspace', it's boring and draggy as hell but im gonna finish it later otherwise like very wasted watch all the draggy borign part and never finish the climax.
JC is bad. My teacher just reminded us we have only 2 months to our BT2 which covers ALL topics from J1 so it's kinda like a mock A levels. Chemistry is going to finish syllabus by next week i think. Physics is far from it, math far from it too i think. Econs.. no idea at all.
DIE LA.
I don't really like the idea of studying everyday again. I enjoy my relaxed slack life now. slack ftw.
Ok i'm like throwing in random thoughts. Ok last random thought of the day:
To the person who is flaming me on my tagboard, you can just save your time to go get some personal etiquette lessons or find a new blog to flame, because i'll just clear your messages with a click. =) pwnzor.
I'll put up the SAJC basketball schedule tmr , go support if you have the time ciaoz =)

0.001 seconds
acs(i) were whipped upside down by VJC. gid played the last quarter for fun he never shoot just pass only. i think thrash by 30 points.
Then i saw this drama match. 2 lousy schools (in terms of basketball) cjc and acjc were playing.. then was quite even la. both anyhow turnover then once in a while either side will make a nice basket.
Then CJC were ahead by about 8 points going into the 4th quarter. Then AC managed to rally back and were 3 points behind with 7 seconds left, CJC's possession. CJC tried to fast break, and missed. Then AC tossed the ball to some guy who was slightly in front of the half court line at the right side. Then he just use one hand and FLUNG the ball towards the basket.... AND CHOP! IT WENT SWOOSH THROUGH THE NET.
the whole sports hall exploded with a sudden roar as everyone was holding their heads and you can see the AC pumping their fists while the CJC people waving their hands to the referee......
However, the ruling was that the time was up, so the shot didn't count.
SO SUAY CAN! wa if that shot was counted it would be the basket of that player's life. once in a lifetime kinda shot.. cant believe i witnessed it with my own eyes. what are the odds man!
Then later watched clara's match.. hci thrashed acjc. The score was 74-17. -_- the score speaks for itself. haha clara airball one. that game was so boring acjc like dunno how to play lidat. got one girl quite extra keep on crossovercrssover but can't go for points just know how to dribble. pass also turnover. ha
I wonder how SA will be like! I hope they're good and at least reach quarterfinals. Next wednesday their first match, 3.20pm at Clementi Sports Hall, go support!

he who runs barefoot on track get red foot
When i was on my way to school, my friend smsed me - last night i sent him some GP hw to be printed out, and he forgot to bring them to school -_- great.
First thing i realised when i reached school was that i forgot to bring my file! which has my timetable , my worksheets, notes, everything paper.
Dammit.
Next thing i realised was that i brought the wrong set of math notes (the notes are like binded with the ring ring thing)
Then during assembly i kena made famous . =X cos im top 10 or something like that for blocktest1 in JC2. ahh i dont really wanna be famous for being a muggertoad. oh well.
THEN. PE was slack cos we finished napfa.. so we played soccer by popular demand. Then cos my sports shoe wasn't really fitting and cant kick ball properly if i wear it. so i took off my shoes. We played on the semi-circle part of the track (you know a Track has like a rectangle field in the middle and 2 semi circles at the side)
and.. my class isn't really the sporty type so i was one of the better players. even though i suck at soccer... some are worse :p ha sorry brutally honest but. yea.
So at first very shiok wa dribble past everyone score a few blabla. then after awhile my feet were BURNING. like each step i took felt like walking on burning coals or something.
I realised i had several blisters and 1-2 cuts on my feet and both feet felt terribly covered with abrasions or something.
Sooo i had no choice but to go be last man stand at the goalpost there, put on my shoes and just play lidat loh. Then still managed to score another after that after a loose ball bounced free in our half and i sprinted down the court and scored. Then wa really buaydahan feet burning.
After PE i realised i had 5 blisters - 3 on right foot 2 on left and one cut on my left big toe. and both soles were like red and maybe slightly swollen? woo pain like shit.
decided to go home after lecture, skipped GP. thought have to see doctor or something cos my feet were starting to itch. but now after applying antiseptic stuff it feels better.
bye unlucky day.
p.s. the title is a pun in case you didn't realise. you know those 'Confucius says:' jokes (just google it) which are all pun-based and very cleverly plays on doublemeanings on words and usually in broken english? haha i created my own. Yknow.. cos the track is like red with all those rubber rubber things. So if u run barefoot ull get those on your feet. and.. cos ull get blisters+abrasions so red also.
:p
Just felt i had to explain it in case noone caught it :p
a metaphorical story (2)
Francis inched closer on the couch.
The television continued flickering, showing a movie that Francis had long forgotten about. All his thoughts were focussed on Sherry, the girl of his dreams. She was just sitting next to him, seemingly watching the movie as well.
Her soft hand lay upturned on the seat of the sofa, in between the two of them. This looked like an invitation to Francis, so he similarly placed his hand carelessly near hers. The scene changes. Francis pays little notice, only noting the different animal characters running across the screen.
Suddenly, there was contact. Not the most definite, but there was contact. Finger against finger, hair against hair, whatever it was, there was the slightest minimal contact. Neither flinched, but instead their hands started to overlap. Within seconds their hands were clasped, interlocked in a symbol of unity.
A warm feeling of accomplishment emeated through Francis' body. His face flushed red; he didnt know where to look. It seemed too bold to just look at her at that moment but the pictures of the screen did not register anything in his head. All he could think of was all the dreams he's had about Sherry in the past few months, all the wishes and hopes he had pinned on this relationship. And all this was finally fulfilled, with the simple act of held hands on a couch, on an afternoon of what was supposed to be for watching a movie.
After the show, both went into Sherry's room. Her mother and younger brother were at home, and they were both upright and moral people, so nothing sexual would arise from this. She went to sit at her computer. He joined her, sitting on the stool next to her.
After some idle clicking, she pulled his arm around her back, placing it onto her hip. Francis was stunned - such audacity! And they were not even alone in the house. He was afraid and apprehensive, and quickly pulled his hand away.
After some random clicks on the computer, she grabbed his hand and put it on her hip again. This time, Francis boldly left it there for a few moments, then again pulled his hand back. 'Do i dare do this with mother and sibling at home and the door wide open for all to see!?'
Once again, she pulled his hand across her back defiantly and placed it snugly on her hip. This time, he left it there, and enjoyed the secure grasp he had around her, and leant closer to her and felt her warmth.
Both pretended none of this was happening, and continued talking normally, discussing about some conversation she was having online. His other hand subtlely snuck out and planted itself on her exposed lap - she was wearing a pair of short shorts. He playfully started stroking her lap, and she did not flinch nor fidget, but instead seemed to enjoy the moment with a smile creeping across her face. His hand gently caressed her lap, like one would do to a kitten.
After some time, the time had come for him to leave - it was getting late. They said their goodbyes and left - both not mentioning anything about a new relationship and pretended they were still just normal friends.
Little was he to know that that was the biggest mistake he had made in his life. Sherry never talked to Francis again for several months, for reasons that are unknown. Francis was crushed, dejected and depressed. His heart was broken to more than a million pieces, which even if mended, would always leaving a void where Sherry used to occupy.
The End.

magic journal 7 - i pwned my teacher
Well some of you may know some may not, but lately i've been practising the Coin Roll. It's simply rolling a coin across your fingers. Ugh hard to describe hang on i go make a video.
Ok here's a short 30 second video of me doing some coin rolls. (still sloppy :S)
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV7BcxjH3EI]
The world record for this is like 40 coin rolls in one minute -_- And the official rules are that the coin cannot skip any fingers, and you cannot drop the coin. (drop = restart) I use my own customized rules, cannot skip any fingers, drop the coin = not counted. Too hard if have to restart.. it's crazy. My personal best is 20. rawr. must improve.
Anyway the funny thing was that today in GP class i was just subconsciously doing coin rolls (yknow like we spin pens also) during some class discussion. Then the teacher was walking around then she saw me doing that so she was like 'alan keep the coin!'
Then after protesting a little bit (i always disturb this teacher one :p )then i 'Ok!'
Then i did a simple coin vanish - i placed the coin on the desk, rubbed it abit, then it disappeared.
Then she was like 'WHERE IS IT!?' hahaha then i just shrug and said 'disappeared'.
=D =D
The moment was priceless - she proceeded to walk over then lift up my pencil case.. look at my desk carefully.. look at the floor.. but no coin =) =D =) hahahah i was just sitting there smirking then when she gave up looking then ask me again 'where is it!?' then i purposely change subject 'So erm a civil service is better for the democratic society.. blabla'
=D
I MUST learn more of these impromptu tricks with everyday objects =)

Econs project
So my beat was pretty off for much of the fast song (your love is amazing) , i could TELL i was off too cos i couldnt hear him properly and didn't know what to play.
Had to signal to the sound crew after the song, then they finally switched on his guitar too -_- screwed up system.
Anyway, here's a project me and some friends did for Econs. If you dont take econs you wont understand at all, even if you do it may be a little boring cos it aint THAT interesting.
The super super funny thing which had us rolling on the floor laughing was that.. ok you watch already then scroll down and read.
The funny thing is that.. you know at the last part i tore that paper. Well, we actually used the back of my friend's math worksheet, and i TOTALLY forgot what it was, then in the middle of the video i decided to improvise.. cos pay debt already mah, so i tore it for effect.
Then my friend narrating started laughing then the cameraman (his worksheet) still filming didnt know why. only after we 'cut' then we all realised what just happened and started laughing ^^
Ok maybe you dont think it's funny cos u werent there but it was damn funny!!! i still laugh abit when i watch that part of the video =)
And editting the video was damn troublesome man. The hardest part was dealing with windowsmoviemaker hanging every 5 minutes. Had to keep saving to ensure the file wasn't lost. For the song i used another media editting software to bring up and down the volume at the appropriate times. rawr.
heh ok bye.

stupid survivor and their lousy twists
Then michelle's group lost la, then jeff read this letter that the losing tribe was getting - the twist was that they would go to tribal council STRAIGHT AWAY, and could not discuss strategy with the other group, etc.
Then the sad thing was that michelle's group had 3 people who were an alliance. Then they originally planned to vote someone else out but then now cannot. So cos michelle wasn't part of their alliance they voted her out.
SO SUAY! POOR MICHELLE.
in case you didnt know, michelle is this super cute girl in survivor. she's not very pretty but she's damn cute lik bubbly lively cute. ahhhh. she was my favourite and now she's gone.
Then today had worship prac, and i COULDNT DO THE DAMN FILLIN FOR THE SONG.
It was 'Your Love is Amazing'. The.. 'hallelujah, hallelujah, Your love makes me sing..' That's the chorus which you start with then we'll usually sing it twice, first time is slow then the drums comes in when going into the 2nd time.
Then i was counting wrongly, i kept counting '1,2,3,4' after the 'sing' and in the end fill always too long then the rest also confused then i was damn frustrated with myself.
Then now i realise it was supposed to be '3' on sing, '4, 1, FILL'
If you didnt get that nvm i just wanted to get it off my system. RAWR. gonna try it again before service tmr hope i can do it. damn frustrated man ! kept screwing up. arghhrghgh.
michelle <3 :(

i pWn j00
My heart pounded and my legs were wobbly and i couldn't think of anything else but the SHUTTLE RUN.
Changed up, went to assemble. PE teacher came.. asked us to run one round round the track as warmup. When we came back.. he said.. 'Pullups first' .
'Sir can we have shuttle run first' i asked.
'no , pullups first'.
In case you didn't know, Napfa has 5 stations + 2.4km run, and you have to do the 5 stations in a fixed order. For example if you name each station ABCDE, if you start from D, you have to do EABC in that order.
And pullups is before Shuttle Run.
The much feared Shuttle Run.
So after pullups (which i didnt really put much effort into, i just did until B then stop , then they all surprised cos i never try harder. haha), we all went to the place to do shuttle run. I requested to go first.. cos if i go last (last index number) then i have to wait more and the anticipation will kill me.
So i ran. slipped abit. chiong. ran. Crossed the line. heard 'something - point four' and assumed it was 10.4s. I mean, i got 10.7 last year. then i heard my classmates clapping and wowing then it didnt make sense to clap for a 10.4. So i went up to my teacher and asked him to repeat.
"9.4"'
GOSU CAN!! BEST IMPROVEMENT AWARD THANK YOU! I got 10.7 last year and this year 9.4. pawnage.
But then after observing the rest of my classmates run, i concluded that the teacher stopped the time slightly earlier like just before you pass the line. Cos some people slid and if you slide you aren't evne supposed to clear 10 seconds. but they all under 10. So... yea the teacher slow reaction time la.
I was damn happy can.
For those who are interested, here are the rest of my results
Standing Broad Jump

Today: 240cm (B)

Ok that's all folks cya.

prison break fans of the world unite in my suffering
BUT IM NOT DOING THAT TODAY. GUESS WHY?
because the last episode of PB was last week -_-
dammit.
And yes, there will be a season 3. For those of you who dread that they're dragging or what can the show be about... here's my take on it. (no spoilers unless indicated)
To some , it may be a little draggy, cos.. they like forever cannot escape. but don't worry, it's not about them continually running from the people trying to catch them. There is a brand new conspiracy going on, which we all have no idea what it is about. I doubt it'll get draggy, PB never seems draggy unlike Lost. (which i still like but apparently many find it draggy) PB is always like action twist twist action twist action action cliffhanger -end-. =D
[SPOILER PARAGRAPH] (highlight to read)
Well, Scofield ends up in a prison again, a prison in Mexico called SONA. In the last scene of the episode, it shows him walking through that prison, and im telling you that place makes Fox River look like a 5 star hotel. Then the episode ends mysteriously with him walking towards a bright light.
Apparently 'The Company' or... possibly a separate group altogether, is putting scofield into this prison ON PURPOSE, to let him try to break out (mentioned in finale episode). No idea why :S
Some guesses are to test the security of the prison.. to have him succeed the bigboss.. etc.
The show's producers said that the next season will be alot more stripped down and brutal than the past 2 seasons, and one of the brothers may die / come close to dying in the first few episodes. They make it sound like one will die but i'm guessing it's just almost dying. And i'm guessing it's Michael Scofield, because he gets beaten up damn badly in the new prison or something.
There will be new characters too, and a female who is supposed to be Michael's equivalent in intelligence o.0 Is that even possible?
The new season premieres August 9th 2007. Can't wait!
[END OF SPOILERS]
So... yea. i feel so deprived i want my prison break ugh. Oh, for those who support MiSa, there is a very sweet MiSa moment in the season finale. So go watch! =)
And for those who are weird and illogical and jealous and weird and dislike Sara (like my beloved cheryl jie)... dont care la still watch. just close one eye when it's MiSa moment.
BYE. PRISON BREAK 4EVA WORXXZXZXZX
stupid rain
Gimme my gold or silver babeh.

218.186.106.249
Unless they tell me who they are i'll just turn them in to the authorities for derogatory comments and verbal harassment. Messages are saved.
I <3 cbox. =)
Anyway, napfa is tmr. :S argh. stress . I'm damn stressed for some reason. i need silver/gold to have shorter NS and to skip PE for the rest of the year.
Currently:
Situps - confirm A
Sit and reach - confirm A
Pullups - Should be B
SBJ - Should be B
Shuttle run - I DONNO ZOMG.
check out this entry for more details about my shuttle run. :S
2.4km - At best C. Hope can get C.
Most worried about the last 2 items cos shuttle run is .. variable . you read that post which i linked you to you'll know why i'm so scared of it. It's like som psychological thing.
And.. it's the first time i'm running 2.4km straight away after the 5 stations.. usually would be on a different day. but now.. argh. die. hope i can even finish the run.

a whirl.
If you were the penalty taker of the 90 minute penalty in the World Cup Finals that is currently tied 2-2... how would you feel?
If you were in a collapsing building in an earthquake and you see a collapsing beam and you quickly reach out and manage to hold on to it.. if you release it the entire building is going to go down. How would you feel?
If you were leading a blind troupe through the jungle and your compass spoils.. what would you do?
If in a poll, the results are dead even before you vote, so your vote would decide the winner.. how would you feel?
I hate being the deciding factor. But i guess there are times when i have to be it.
Somebody help me.

$205
I’m broke.
Some of you may know that my com has been experiencing some problems for some time.. about 2 weeks? Or less. And my biggest mistake is not taking my com for servicing when the problems started occurring. Like I use halfway then the com switch off by itself.
Well last night it switched off by itself again, and this time, it couldn’t be switched back on. So.. gone case have to send for servicing. Called my uncle who fetched me to simlim today .. brought my heavy heavy CPU lor.
Then right.. I had the receipt and warranty card from the shop I bought from. So I followed the ‘address’ on the card. 6th floor.. 06-27. Then I took the lift to the 6th floor and looked at the shop numbers.. 06-20… 06-21 … walk walkwalk. 06-27..
ZOMG!
THE SHOP IS GONE. NOW IS SOME HANDPHONE SHOP.
ZOMG.
So I walked up closer to the shop.. looked in and hoped that the shop was like hiding behind in the backroom or something. Or I was hallucinating. And that stupid handphone shop remained there. And the address #06-27 was printed big and clear as if to taunt me.
So I continued walking around in a daze.. then suddenly this girl from inside a shop asked ‘You looking for a shop?’
(wa psychic.)
“Er yea.. b---- computers”
‘Oh.. they moved away already. You want to fix your computer is it? Want me to take a look?’
=) ok . so I let her take a look and she dismantled my com and started testing the different parts.. blabla. Her male employee who was significantly pro-er came back and helped her, and they concluded that
1) My computer fan was spoilt
2) One piece of the RAM (I had 2 pieces of 256) was spoilt
3) The mainboard was spoilt.
2) and 3) were probably the result of 1). Dammit. I should have heeded the earlier warning signals when my com switched off by itself – i.e. overheating. :/
So while he was still acting pro and going through the parts in the computer I casually asked ‘how much ah’.
Then he pulled out this big fat calculator which I notice all sim lim square owners have (is it some free gift when you move into sim lim square) and started pressing buttons.. then showed me the number
215
-faints-
SO EXPENSIVE! Zzz. I was expecting at most 100 plus. Then he gave me the breakdown.. 120 was for the mainboard replacement, 35 for RAM, 35 for fan, 35 for labour cost/installation. Then I asked for discount and he brought it down to $205.
There goes my money.
The good thing was that all my files were intact magically. I was already like in despair and thinking of all the files and stuff that were gonna be lost if he reinstalled everything. But I dunno how he did it but everything was intact. =D my shows =D
Oh and I lugged that heavy CPU back from Sim Lim by myself cos my uncle not free anymore. It was at least 20kg man that freaking heavy thing. And I took bus somemore. My back felt like it was gonna breaaak.
Ok , who wants to donate to the Alan Charity Fund?

dance dance (and other random stuff)
Woot. Went to "Dance Dance - Can you feel the heat?", a dance competition that was organised by MGS. John (my classmate), his friend, and some other SAJC guys took part in it.. and WON! =D
Ok before that, i went to KFC to have dinner (couldnt buy my usual cheesefries/popcorn chicken cos i was having some sort of cough) so i decided to go shrooms meal. But while in queue i changed my mind to try the OR Fillet burger cos i never try before.
Bad mistake.
Firstly, it's super super small. It's like the same size as the small mashed potato. It's the size of.. aiko's fist. I'M NOT EXAGGERATING.
Secondly, i thought it'll be some sort of fish meat cos well, it said 'filet', and i always thought filet meant fish cos of 'filet o fish'.
BUT. apparently filet just means:
–noun
1.
Cookery.
a.
a boneless cut or slice of meat or fish, esp. the beef tenderloin.
So what it was was a hard chewy piece of chicken that tasted worse than any KFC chicken i ever tasted and was terrible . Don't ever buy OR Filet Burger. -_-
ANYWAY. Back to the dance competition.
The winner would be decided by votes, and initially i thought it'll be damn biased because i think half the auditorium was MGS girls and 1/3 were ACS guys. Then there were some ACS/MGS participants as well. But in the end.. John's group 'The Innocent Boys' clinched first place in a landslide win apparently, about 370 - 80 or something like that. =)
Some parts of their dance were kinda unsynchronized and all, but considering they only practised this the night before the competition.. :p not bad at all. I like john's barney part haha.
Oh yea and in the middle somewhere when you hear the heartbeat thing.. the guy in the red bandana is actually doing a chest popping thing to look like heartbeat. but because i think he didnt do it very obviously and the angle then can't see.
Here's their performance:

And the SA group photo taken after that. I was hidden by that guy!! argh irritating. the MGS girl who helped us take was kinda impatient too so didnt really let us get into position.
oh yea. then i took 151 home.. and it's some special bus super cool one.
See. The seats are like.. couches. (very shaky though) And there is this very.. classy feel to the bus.
It's a normal SBS bus! not some nightrider or what. Just re-decorated by Nokia apparently.
On a side note, i bought new shoes! =) Pretty cheap got from some shop near Heartlandmall for $12.50. Quite lousy too haha.
OKKK. that's all i have for you.
Grats to innocent boys. =)
