- Ohyeah.
I haven't really bought anything (unnecessary) for almost the entire year - all for good reason.
I've been saving up for something big.
It's already the third quarter of the year and it's my time of the year. Why? Video games. Yeahyeah, I'm a fanatic (just check my e-mail, which I like note was created when I was nine not fifteen).
Plus I'm fresh out of new games for my Playstation 3. It's practically a decorative in the living room.
News-flash, my mum and dad both read my blog. Duh. So I've compiled a nice list for them to see - and anyone who's super kind and loving and awesome and caring.
These are the ones that have really caught my eye, so fellow gamers (looking at you Edward and Wei Lik) read on.
* Some of 'em aren't out yet but it pays to count down the days to their release.

Oh and if you haven't already noticed, the new Macbook looks pretty snazzy.
Saturday, 18 October 2008 - First time I put on contacts. I really thought it was going to be easy and fine and dandy.
Trust me, it isn't.
I just couldn't keep my eyes open to put the contacts over my eyes. Heck, my mum and sister had to help me. We spent like over 45 minutes trying to get the darn things on.
Then went to Qayyum and Farah's open house, which was awesome. Thanks guys. (:
Played on one of the four Playstation 3's Qayyum owns, watched The Grudge. Tell you the truth, I expected the latter to be more scary. Most of the scary scenes were cheesy, I felt, with only the music bringing on all the real scares. Though the final scene was the scariest I have to say. The story's pretty dull, I mean everybody dies. What the heck?
Saw loads of familiar faces there.
Their house is like right beside a train track. You could hear and see the train pass by every so often through the trees. Pretty cool.
So I just got back and had almost an equal amount of trouble trying to get the contacts off. I was really worried I'd have to wear them for life from now on.
I got them off eventually of course, by myself. (:
Wednesday, 15 October 2008 - Right after school, it poured like mad. I don't even think mad's gonna cut it.
Just so happens I was stuck in school until 6:45.
Right after Chinese Drums, I went to the bus stop. I usually go to the guard house, but there was no means to get there dry. I'd usually just walk through the rain but I can't afford to get sick, not now - with production around the corner, the trip back home.
No one was around. For one of the first times in my life, I actually felt truly alone. And all I did was sit there - where else could I go?
Perhaps you've heard of peripheral vision. It's where you can see things at the very edge of your vision. Man, it was not a good place for that to kick in. At all.
The heavy rain made everything dark, the roof of bus stop didn't help. The eerie patter of raindrops on the zinc roof echoed with lightning bolts flaring across the sky in front of me. The thunder was so loud and sudden. I just sat there staring at the leaves floating across the flooded but shaded car park. The noises came from all around me, the heavily wooded area beside the school just staring right back at me.
It was truly a sight to behold, but I've never actually seen the bus stop this ominous before.
It's what Tigers do best.
