Of the McDonald's,revisited.
So,i went back to that same McDonalds to study with Krishna again.Having a bunch of stuff left untouched,i figured it was time for me to get down to some serious studying.General Paper was easy this morning.At least i thought it was.The passages were rather interesting,in the sense that i deeply related myself to Amy Bruckman.Screw Neil Postman man.You are just like our principal.A skull too numb and too thick to accept changes.Anyway,Amy Bruckman stated that the cyberspace is not merely a "Information SuperHighway",but also a place which normal artists like myself,can express themselves and nurtures a creative process.Totally agreed.Despite that speech being given in 1995,it still relates so much to our modern day internet usage.Especially with the popularity of online diaries growing,it clearly shows that internet is no longer a source of information.You create your own information for others.Hopefully through that,you inspire others to do the same.So true,so true.I was smiling while reading that passage,and desperately wanted Mr Yeo to read it.(Especially after reading his recent entry concerning our little incident with certain individual's blog.Im with you big man.)Anyway,i finished the paper pretty fast,and spent most of my time eating the Lemon sweet i brought with me into the hall.The hall was exceptionally cold due to the fan turned to full blast.I was shivering,and hugging myself from time to time.Oh yes,this morning ZhuangYi told me the news about France losing to Greece.WHAT??!!I was shocked.Really.I mean,Germany is out.England is out.Italy is out.Now France is out.Wait,what is happening?Its like JJC losing a rugby match to RJC!(No offence.)Oh well,its times like these when the underdog barks the loudest and when the dark horse shines the brightest.They got to have their day,right?Too bad England matched up with Portugal,or they might have made it further.Damn Becky and his penalty shot!(If you call that a penalty shot at all.)Truly emotional ending to a match.Sad.

Immediately after the exam,i took a bus to Bishan MRT on bus 53.Had a great chat with Eugene about the exam as well as other matters.Great guy,though we are not necessarily in the same league.Anyway,took the MRT to Raffles Place and met up with Krishna.He was in this ridiculous shorts which was not necessarily a Bermuda,but neither was it a three quarter.I went,"Wait.This isnt a Bermuda,and its not a three quarter.What the hell is it?A half?"Damn,and his bright green nike shoes are killing my eyes.I think they are horrible.But who cares.He doesnt give a rats butt about it.Went upstairs to the second floor to study.We ate first,and i still felt hungry.But oh well,hunger was curbed for studies.Tossed out my books and studied.Damn.I am making way to many careless mistakes for maths.Not that Im bragging,but i actually got most of the methods right.So many careless mistakes that i can actually cry.Oh well,Ben Tan met us after that,and we studied together.We went downstairs,and i bought the Waffle Cone icecream.Twisted.Yum.At least this time,mine did not melt that fast.(Do not by from the McDonalds outside Bras Basah or Shaw Towers.They melt instantly.Anyway,Krishna and I went out to fetch Samuel,who was apparently wandering around Clarke Quay,lost.We studied,and Samuel gave me some tips on Economics.He narrowed the scope for me,and thank you for that dude.Haha.It was his birthday yesterday,and Krishna bought him this small present.He bought one for me too,and it was a small box made of coconut husk.Inside was a small bottle of liquid which had an apple like scent.(It said "Apple" on the label.But it did not necessarily smell like one.Pressure on the plane must have changed the smell.)Thanks Krishna.;)

Ben and Samuel left for home first,since Samuel had to go home to celebrate his father's birthday.(A day after his.Imagine the odds.)Ben had to go home for family dinner.Wait,i thought family dinners are on Sundays?Anyway,Krishna and I continued to study till 630pm.By then,i was dead beat.Walked around like a zombie and was finding it difficult to push the toilet door open.Took the train to town and wanted to eat Swensens.(Both of our mouths felt itchy,and the fullness of our wallets allowed us to do so.)"Oh shit!" Krishna said."Its Saturday night!"Lots of people were already at Swensens,and a long queue could be seen outside.In the end,we went along with plan B.Japanese Resturant under Paragon.There was a Thai restruant on one side,and a chinese resturant on another.The Japanese one was in the centre,and apparently everybody queued up for the Thai and the Chinese resturant,but not the Japanese one.I started to doubt if the food is any good,and Krishna convinced me in the end.I ordered something that cost me 18 dollars.Hell,i was hungry.It was some Don,and i forgot the name.(Started with a T.Its called Chicken Gullet something.Yeah,i dont know what i eat.)Damn,it was heaven on Earth.It was great,and i was almost tearing with joy.I wonder why nobody is queueing up into this resturant.Haha.Idiots!We finished,and talked a bit.Saw our old English Teacher outside and went out on a hunt for him.In the end,we ended up in KinoKuniya buying books.He was searching for Simon Cowell's biography,while i was searching for Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.He found the hardcover versions,but wanted the softcovers instead.We found the Book of Answers once more!Damn,i love that book.I held it and ask,"Will i fail my Mid Years?".Turned the book to a page.Firmly,it said,"No." Haha.Well,thats a relief!(Point to note,Ive asked the book a lot of questions.Everything came true.Everything.)I love that book,and someday im going to buy it.Saw Fiona Xie there,and damn she's way darker and shorter than i thought.Oh well,she really is good looking.And so was her boyfriend who followed after her like a leashed dog.I found the Stephen King book in the end.Its called "The GunSlinger".Wow.Cant wait to read it.Especially after multiple positive reviews from Amazon.com and ComingSoon Boards.(Thanks Brock Landers.)That was 16 dollars.Damn.Haha.Alright,i am tired.And i shall study now.Peace out.
