i think trng is getting more and more slack.can't imagine when mtan gets back.oh maaaaan-back to boot camp.
ahaha.
today was gym.different style,of which we didn't get wad a few of his abbreviations [why is it such a freaking long word to mean short acronyms?!!] were,so we just well....did the most logical thing to do-skip it.like by the end of gym,i was trying to juggle tennis balls,mel and shawn were playing tennis and then mel went to play the guitar and shawn was doing some skateboard stunts earlier and shuyun and bernice tried their hands and feet at it too.really man,trng is getting slack.my guilt level is slowly diminishing as well.oh no.i'm beginning to conform...=/

daryl was calling shawn n i after trng.walao.i think he's uber funny.when we want to go parkway to eat,he say too far.then today we go eat at bugis,he was begging to go parkway.-__-" tt bum.haha.and he only wanted to eat with us coz he had no lunch at home.bah!anyway,shawn n i were gonna munch at bugis coz we were gonna go round arab street.bernice came along too coz she was meeting her frens there.ate at this new bugis food court in the bazaar area.omg!the place just keeps changing and changing!!!each time i go,there's like something new there.the food court is one such example.was a lil apprehensive coz the weather was just sweat dropping hot,but shawn ate there like twice this week already and assured us tt it was a really cooling place.woah-the fan is HUGE!!!i promise u it can definitely make it as a nominee to the guinness world's largest fan record!!serious.had this rather unappetizing looking dumpling with noodle and shawn had a similar dish from another stall tt totally contrasted greatly interms of visual appeal.mine just looked limp and forlorn and when he asked how many dumplings i had [4],he triumphantly said 'hah!i've got 5!' like ok la.anyway he dumped one of his dumplings onto my plate to try,not bad la.but i think i still preferred my shrimp one,even if it looked like a mini brain.

after the comforting cool shade,we bravely faced the scorching sun and proceeded to arab street.bernice is like how lame-she went ALL the way there to see her frens hand her the piece of fabric to bring home before they all zhaoed.-__-"""" ok at first we went with her to the shop coz the shop got air con and we needed a lil respite from the crazy sun but after a while shawn and i were ready to hit the road once more so we wanted to zhao first,then in the end bernice had no where else to go so she joined us as well.shawn brought us along this mini insignificant looking lane-haji lane,i think it's called,which is actually the one constantly featured in the papers and mags i've flipped thru before.like woah.print to real.went to the featured house of japan which is this rather jam-packed store full of clothes,mostly jeans,jeans and more jeans and a great deal of other unique clothing items.actually the store just looked like shawn's wardrobe x10.haha.can totally picture him in all of those clothing la!

couldn't capture the clothes though...

continued down the row of rather forlorn looking shops tt were mostly shut or looked like they were under construction.the whole lane was rather quiet actually.soon arrived at another shop just a few units down tt's actually wad u call a guerrilla store that only opened on july 15 this year and would shut exactly one year later on july 16.actually i totally missed it coz the exterior seriously look like it was under renovation wad with all the white boards and spray painted stenciled letters until shawn pointed it out,so bernice and i popped in to take a look.the inside was as unassuming as the exterior-like it looked really bare.all the stuff was uber ex though it looked rather normal.

'shop sign'

soon re-emerged and found shawn comfortably seated with his shades-donning shaggy haired fren outside his fren's shop called Straits Records that sold cd's and records tt are not really mainstream.like never really see those kind before.but then again,it's not like i'm an ardent music fan who often scour cd shops.yeah but it was a comfy air-conditioned store and bernice and i took shelter within,listening to the blastin music and flipping thru the typical graphic mags and newsletters which mostly come from australia and have such anti-everything articles;like every page was just filled with angst-anti-govt laws,anti-rulings,etc...bob joined us there too.coz he and shawn were supposed to have some sorta 'conference' to discuss the mag they intend to produce.looking forward to checking it out!proceeded to other parts of arab street and along the way,shawn tried on this cap tt had hair sticking out so it kinda doubled up as some sorta wig that got the other passerbys literally laughing.he looked so hilarious la!!!haha.

BLEAHH!!!!

so while bernice and i toured the kampung glam area,bob and shawn chilled out at this rather cosy lil cafe.the shop keepers there are uber friendly i tell ya!like this guy who owned a shop called utopia tt sold rather nice but sadly ex modern batik clothing just couldn't stop talking to the both of us and even commented how we had such unusal uniforms.-__-" we were dressed in house tee.the other shop owners also never failed to say hullo when we patronised their shops.but oh wells,i'm quite a window shopper and i was just enjoying myself dwelling in the ambience,so yeah...didn't get anything.not like the stuff i liked was cheap too.joined shawn and bob after tt at the cafe which is also a backpackers inn and owned by an ang-moh husband singaporean wife duo.the place was rather dimly litted and had mostly maroon walls with couches and sofas dotting the area and new-age plus jazz music playing.rather comforting place to chill out at.while the guys continued their 'serious' discussion,bernice and i were left to amuse ourselves with checkers which was my first time playing and bob soon came over to help me win.played with shawn too who totally thrashed me and confused bernice as well coz he decided to use the chess pawns instead of the usual black and red ones.haha.bernice can be so amusingly blur at times.

wad in the world am i doing here...?

oh and shawn brought his birthday present along-a brand new SLR! which he couldn't stop taking pictures at anything tt caught his eye.took a couple at the cafe too.like this poor helpless looking barely-able-to-flutter-its-wings bird flew into the cafe by mistake and shawn's fingers immediately got to work.eventually it managed to fly out after struggling round the room.haha.and bob better try and be a photographer la.told me to lean in a lil more and shawn was like 'u want to take a pic of the both of us rite?' so we just took together and his skill sux la.it was against the light.-__-'' malu he was. oh wells,i think bob and shawn are so funny.throughout the whole time bob was with us,every other few minutes he would be spewing out stuff in praise of shawn,and when i commented on tt,they both were like 'oh we're each other's no1 fan'.hahaha.they are really tu pees in a pot.haha.

oh wells,the day ended in a downpour.nice comfy weather to sleep!=)
