Gifts

So, I finally came back to Singapore yesterday. My roommates went out yesterday with his friends and my room was empty when I came back. In fact, the whole boarding school felt empty during this time, for most of the boarders have already returned to their own countries.

Feeling bored and hungry, I decided to go to Bukit Timah Plaza, alone, to have my dinner, Had dinner at KFC and shopped around the plaza afterwards. Went to Popular bookshop and bought some stuff (mainly blank CD-R, CD folder and a pen) to prepare some gifts for my classmates. I am going to give everyone a copy of the edited class photos and the class photo montage. I also wanted to draw on the CD so as to personalise every CD with their name on it.

I started preparing the gifts late at night, at around 9.30pm, starting with drawing their names on the CD. What was really frustrating is that the pen that I bought was not really good at writing on the CD surface and the ink kept getting stuck every time I tried on the CD. To make matters worse, I made a whole lot of stupid mistakes while I was drawing on the CD and was forced to used the white ink (the black and white inks came together) as the correction fluid and this made the CDs look ultra ugly and unprofessional, certainly not my style. Moreover, some of the CDs' backs were also stained with the un-dried paint I drew on the other CD and I had to spend extra time peeling off the paint stains on the CDs. It was really disastrous and I regretted not giving everyone a simple blank disc with no decoration. But whatever it is, they are already finished and are actually looking quite nice in the colourful CD paper folder I bought.

Just finished watching this week's heroes episode and I must say that the story keeps getting lousier and lousier. I really hate the idea of the eclipse which makes people loses their abilities temporarily because I think that that is kind of lame and contribute nothing to the main storyline. Peter's power lost and Hiro's memory lost are also irritating and they make the two characters seem kind of extra in the story. Nonetheless, I am still looking forward to the next week's episode and I really hope that my home Internet connection can perform the "magic" again and allows me to download the episode.

Going to Orchard later with my friends to shop for some prom stuff and probably get a haircut. I am really excited, for this would my first time cutting my hair in a professional salon. Wondering what I would look like after the haircut. =)
