dont blame me for not blogging. blogger has some serious issues regards to publishing what i write. it happens all the time! they have to hang on me. and if this publishes successfully, it plainly means... they understand garrick is really pissed.
tomorrow's national day! YAY!
then again. no yay.
it means i'll either be stucked at home or going out with friends playing pool. and yes. pool is fun. but i have like 6 blisters all over my palm, my head isnt feeling that good. how can i play in such critical condition. and mind you. the blisters.. 4 are super big ones. there's this one where its 3 blisters in one. imagine the pain, blood and water gushing out my skin. *gulp.
(really regretted playing golf on fri, dragon boat rowing on saturday, drum mania on monday).
yes its true. and official. i'm in love with drum mania. its one of those arcade simulators where you hit the drums! for like only $1! for 5 songs. no doubt its embarrassing missing couple of beats. but looking on the bright side. i completed like 80 songs already. cheers! and then again. you might ponder. blisters? drums? you got to be kidding you weak piece of sh*t. (you guys are too young to learn this word yea) but imagine. 5 drums. and only 4 works the last one kinds of craps up every now and then. so that means. you have to hit it really really hard. and therefore it led to the extra blisters i caught from golf and dragon boat. ouch. but its pretty much a good thing too. the pain was getting unbearable and i skipped training today and went for seafood with the entire family. had lots of crab and its the second time in 3 days. imagine the amount of calories built up over these meals. burp. went for small talk at cousin's place, and the small talk was 3 hours long. its small. the longest they talked was like... 7 hours? chinese new year.
wait! before i post this blog. i want make a rant!
O2 service centre operates with totally no management. they promised to return my pda by the 4th of August. and they only called today. and not telling me its really but instead...

operator: Good morning Mr.Gan as for your pda. we found a little crack in the casing, and we advise you change the cover. the price of the cover is $15.
me: Oh, Good morning. so $15 for the front and back casing?
operator: nope. only the back. (the back casing is really small and pathetic)
me: what? $15. i'll call you back.
-call ended-

me: (calls dad) hey daddy. O2 finally called. they want me to change the cover which i wasnt aware of cracked. they are charging me $15.
dad: what? they delayed the service of the phone and now they are asking for money for some minor repairs? blarddy operators. give me the number.
me: 64....... (cant remember the rest) :)
dad: see you at dinner. kallang, 1830hrs. (he's in the navy. he likes going how many hours.)
-call ended-

-later
dad: did the operator call you?
me: no. no one called me.
dad: was your phone turned off?
me: daddy, if my phone was turned off. how did you get through.
dad: luck maybe? anyway. i scolded the operator. she kept quiet and said she'll call back. blarddy operator. almost an hour already.
me: oh. then what about my phone...
dad: no worries. this time i got hold of her name.
me: *laughed.
dad: where are you now?
me: playing some drum game now.
dad: take care. see you later.
-call ended-
