Went out with Hui Qing today yesterday! Arranged to meet at Douby Ghaut but I was early so I went to Zone X for some Time Crisis 4 =D. BUUTT. The machine on the right side (I always play the one on the right side) needed some serious recalibration! I left the game halfway to get the counter person to come over and he managed to switch my game over to the left side so I played that fine until I died, and then I couldn’t scan my card! Pffft. I got the person over again to fix that, but somehow it screwed up the calibration on that machine and my bullets started going haywire again. Grrr. I switched back to the right side since it was fixed already and soon HQ turned up so we left.
AND WHAT DID THEY DO TO ZONE X OMG! It looks so… KIDDISH. Well ok I guess arcades are typically for kids but THIS is so… It used to be really dark inside with a lot of loud noises, a lot of cool games, not a lot of space, and not a lot of light (yes I mentioned this already). Now half the place is PINK. It is bloody PINK (yeah, so blood is usually red, sometimes blue, but not pink, but that’s besides the point). The lights are bright and you can actually see people’s faces. The walking space is now significantly increased and you just don’t feel like you’re lost in there anymore. Where is the cosy ambience?! Where is the semi-darkness?! Where are the narrow walking spaces that always make you bump into strangers?!
COME ON. Do we really need another dozen neoprint stations???? The moment I reached the place I got a shock. Pink and white drapes on machines. I just know that couldn’t be right. For one thing, I could actually see the color of the drapes. For another, there are drapes. Where is the House of Dead 4? Where are the FIFA World Cups? Where, where, where.
DAMMIT.
Well anyway we went to walk around quite aimlessly and I treated her to some mango-prawn thingy at The Cathay which I love very muchly [sic]. Walked over to Bugis and had a tour of OG and I bought the above! I’m going back soon to exchange LINGZ for AXEILE. What was I thinking -.-” And isn’t the guitar nice? I was going to get a silver gun too! Shiiiiny.
It’s 3am and SO LATE. I’ve been sleeping two hours early each night for the past week (except today coz I was helping LH edit a letter) and I hate it. I toss and turn around on the bed for ages. But it’s a good thing I guess, coz somehow, and I really mean somehow, this week is turning out to be “let’s make Axeile wake up way before her normal wakey up time” week.
Thursday, going out with Li Huan at 10am and then with my mom in the evening.
Friday, piano lesson and tuition at freaking 9:30am and then something to do with my mom for the rest of the day.
Saturday, a mini breakfast gathering at 10am with Shu Ying, Li Huan, Christie, Matthew, Vincent, and Xi Peng before we go down for the 4404 bbq at Pasir Ris Park. Even though I’m the one organising the breakfast meet up, and I just adamantly insisted on no waiting for anyone after 15 minutes…… I think I’ll be the one who’s late.
Sunday, no idea what’s on in the morning, and then off to fetch my dad back from the airport at night. He’s coming back from Beijing!
Hey! Happy birthday to me!
