the adventures of darren, the man-boy and the ______

Countdown to 2006!

yesterday i went to the ZARA sale. i think only zara's tees are nice. and i'm saying that cos i'm a tee shirt lover. their jeans are way too loong. sizes not standard; the tee i bought is M but the last time another i bought was XL (although an L would be better then)! but still not standard means not standard. woman's tees too long too. don't they know they're catering to the SINGAPOREAN market?? and the staff all look unfriendly and worse, GAY. those at the takashimaya outlet... man.. gay. my fav is still topman. good service and nice music, unpretentious. i prefer the casual feel-good vibe from topman. at zara they need to wear SUITS. haha. best of all topman's discounts are the best. hoho. zara's discounts look like the original price!

anyway the tee i bought is $24.90 only! cheapo darren only buys nice cheap things. there were only 2 pieces left. original price $29.90.

i met my class for dinner at swensen's marina square. my class is just retarded haha. only grace, adeline aka the Hobbits and I were punctual. the rest arrived 1 hour late!!? but still keith and cai li entertained me with hilarious tales from their 5 days PES E BMT. well for your info pes E is for people with severe problems (caili has a weak shin that may break easily and keith has a blood problem). well the problem is that weird people are in that category too. the funniest, and perhaps pitiful, was a guy with obsessive compulsive disorder. he bathes for 2 hours cos he does things over and over again. and he shat on his pants after that. and this is the lamest, it kept me laughing like an ass: after peeing at the urinal, there was a bead of pee on his head (yes that head). so he washed his head at the tap, with his head touching the tap mouth! wtf?! and he did that to 4 taps, leaving only 2 taps that people dare to use waha. its funny, but he's a poor thing.

at about 9.30pm i met Sarah the Gloopest! we roamed around doing nothing and waited patiently for the fireworks at the Esplanade. when the fireworks did come, they were great! but not a big deal.. i've been seeing fireworks every national day from my house haha. but still there was a new experience: i tried catching them on camera! singaporeans are really weird people man. they come to see the fireworks to usher in the new year. but when its over, they CHIONG to the mrt. nobody shouts "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!". i tried to but ended up looking lie a retarded lunatic. one ang moh guy did pounce on us wishing us and i was very happy at least someone shared my thinking. and the mrt station was packed! it felt like some mosh pit waiting for Slipknot! singaporeans ARE one weird bunch. it wasn't as if they needed to catch a plane. even if they did, they're MANY planes..

oh ya i met my friend seng wai. seng wai was my junior from Stevenson patrol in my VS scoutee days! he's in MJC now. haha now he has HAIR. he used to be botak last time haha. i met him at Looney Toons at marina square. and i wanna buy the pooh bear i'm holding!!

happy new year one and all. my new year resolution is to do my best in everything. sounds lame.
