here i am again
updating the weekly fina editorial
four days late...
oh well:

last tuesday>
went with the 'rents to the airport to welcome the bro home from jordan
and YAY! he brought back two keychains!!
100 sing dollars there is only 40 jordan dinar
and the food there is quite ex, except for streetside kebabs (only 1/5 what it costs here!- $1.00)
i'd actually wanted to show some pics of jordan, but stupid blogger's taking a helluva long time to load
like, never?
anyways, he did visit some pretty interesting places (though not petra)
he visited the jordan river, which supposed to be a big deal in the bible or sth
john e baptist was said to have baptised jesus there,
and it was crossed many times by many people with many intentions in the bible (source: wikipedia)
and the dead sea did not look dead, just blue/green
so salty that its shore was salt-encrusted

and i got to eat popeye's chicken! at last!!!
not that bad, but the smell wasn't as enticing as the last time i walked past the restaurant
and the buttermilk biscuits tasted great with jam
but the mashed potatoes... i guess i'm too attuned to kfc's mashies that anything else tastes weird
but the cajun fries more than made up for it =)
and i guess that's about it...

now, i can't remember anything else that went on last week cos its so long ago
so i'll talk about this week:

did u noe, two people danced very silly-ly at sajc's national day celebration?
haha! and caught on tape too
it was during the musical chairs segment...
heehee...
so after that, the three of us, dan, steph and me, ate at kfc

where the service was super friggin slow
(cos they hadn't cooked the food yet)
and i think they actually forgot about the order until we asked them about it
ah well...
then my eyes got so tired from looking at the computer screen about five hours
occupied my time with parodies and "requiem for a dream (piano, long version)" on youtube
that guy (pace34) made the song sound even greater than before... whoa...

after that, dan finished her council stuff earlier than we'd expected, so we thought we'd make good our original plans of eating at pizzahut
but turned out steph had some last minute dance stuff
so till next thursday, then :)

anyways, wed evening and thusday was spent at the bungalow my uncle rented for this holiday
cycling, karaoke-ing and barbequeing (typical malay holiday)
went to the beach this morning (aforesaid bungalow was at pasir ris park)
and finally got some exercise (2-3 hours cycling, uphill and down)
sadly, had to go home earlier than the rest of cousins and cousins' cousins
so here i am

okay, i'd actually wanted a samsung u600 to replace my current phone
then told my dad to postphone the ordering, just to look through the choices again
then i made my mind up again about the u600
until my sister began shopping around for a new mp3 player, and i decided i wanted a new one too
so i told my dad (again) to postpone ordering the phone
until i've made my decision about this:
should i buy a u600, with a separate mp3/4 player (samsung k5)
or just go straight for a sony ericsson w880i?
or even a different kind of mp3 player? like creative? iriver, perhaps?

*sighs* decisions, decisions...

fina :p

p.s. some stupid guy on the expressway just now suddenly swerved into the lane in front of my dad's car,
very fast and dangerously, with a kid in his backseat
like, wtf?
my dad honked at the guy, but still the asshole continued winding through traffic very fast
and that got my dad (and me) mad
so my dad took off after him, driving at 130 km/h
passed by the guy
(by then rage was boiling up inside of me too much for me to care that it was 40 over the speed limit)
all i thought was "stupid asshole"
the guy actually caught up with us, and i got a clear view of the kid perching precariously on the backseat
and stared daggers at the guy
figures, it was some young irresponsible buck
asshole
(though now that i think about it, my dad's actions were pretty irresponsible too, but at least he signalled while driving
bleh)
