Woah.. it's a tiring day yesterday and I've no time to blog as I've to sleep early. Alright, to cut the long-story short, I'm in a
red packet depression right now. My
ang bao economy has fallen by quite a bit. Still, the amount I received is too little and beyond logic. Many of my relatives are either single or have kicked the bucket. Ouch..
This is sad.
I went to work today and received a pair of oranges and a red packet containing $10. And I was going,"Wow.." for a few seconds and then back to the
ang bao recession mood. So far, it's just a mere $172.. how pathetic. I remembered the times when I was a young kid, I received close to $300, and that's the highest so far. However, I was just a kid back then and guess what I spent those money on? Sigh... Magic: The Gathering..
Anyway, I sort of regretted my kiddish expenditure many years ago. Too bad I couldn't get those times back or I'll be super rich now! Hee hee hee...
Yesterday I was desperate for more money again. So I went to Robin's house for a visit. I met Steve along the way and we went there together. It's been pretty long since I last visited his place but nothing has changed quite a bit. We were then greeted by his hospitable mother. Steve and I each received our red packets, and guess what's inside? $20! Cool.. And how am I related to Robin? We're close friends. And how are my aunties and cousins related to me? RELATIVE!!! OMFG! If only my relatives are much more generous... -_-"
Okay, enough said, otherwise I'll get rotten eggs thrown in my way..
Robin showed us around his room and all those stuffs he kept since our secondary school moments. Ah.. those fondest memories we've shared during our secondary school days were coming back. And as we came across some items displayed on his shelf, Robin reached for his police cap (nothing much, just an NPCC cap), and wore it.
He looked kinda 'cock' in that cap.. shhhhh...
OUI!!! Is this how you wear your cap? Cannot see your eyes some more! How to catch rapists and perverts?! Who do you think you are? Jay Chou ar?As we're about to leave the house, Robin suggested to come to my place for a visit. And the three of us ended up playing
Dai Dee in my room with my new FHM Poker Cards.
However, before setting off, Robin got to do something else and that was... playing with his
Toys.
... nah, he just had to brush his teeth. 
While he's busy, Steve and I caught sight of a hamster cage and it looked kinda empty. But then, his mom said there's one left in the cage while the rest passed away leaving behind this lonely soul. Aww.. it's so sad. But it's surviving well and very obedient too.
We got the permission to take it out of the cage. And, oh man... for animal lovers, I think you just can't resist the sight of it. It's just SOoOoOooo CUTE!
oh.. and it's camera shy too. Hehe..
and it kept looking away from my handphone camera's lens..
Isn't he cute? He's really strong and energetic. So when we put him on the floor and open the cage, it just hoped in. That's so obedient!
I even took a video shot of it. So here's a 3gp video file of this
cutester..
When evening arrived, Steve and I decided to watch a movie without Robin of course. Robin always backs out on us everytime we're out together. But well, most of the time, he always misses out something great. Then, unfortunately, we couldn't get the movie tickets!! Damn! The whole cinema was exploding with people. Disappointed, we went to have our dinner instead. Desperate to fill our hunger, we stepped into Pastamania.
That evening, the meal was hearty. We ordered a plate of Carbonara with Linguine to go along with, two pizzas - Chicken & Mushrooms and Hawaiian, and finally, shared a tub of Tiramisu to end the dinner.
First, it was the Carbonara that's been served.
Looks yummy though..
Can't wait to eat..
Yeah.. yeah.. Steve has a huge mouth. Larger than mine. And because it looks yummy, we decided to give it a try. At first, the taste was okay. Then as we ate more of it, we're getting the same old taste out of this pasta and it somehow bored us, as it gets more tasteless as we're eating. So, we poured some tabascos over it and finished the huge serving of pasta.
Next, out came the pizzas.
.. and Steve poisoned his portion with Tobascos. -_-" eeew...
Those Tobascos are wicked.. man! Too much of them really heat us up from the inside out. It's spicy beyond my imagination! Worse than Kim Chi!
We're about to finish eating the pizzas when Steve suddenly brought something up..
Steve: Hey, you know what? It's fortunate that we have the promotion ticket to get the free pasta of our choice, and I'm even more fortunate to have you eating with me. Otherwise, we can't be able to finish everything let alone this tasteless pasta.
Me: Yea... true. And I had enough of Tabascos. Yucks. The pasta got kinda tasteless after a while.. *rolls eyes*
Steve: I think I know why this Carbonara sucks.
Me: Why?
Steve: Because they wrote it somewhere in the restaurant itself..
Me: Really? Where?
Steve: Look there! *points at one corner of the restaurant*
Me: -_-""" ...no MSG...
Steve: And here's another one...
NO WONDER THEIR FOOD SUCKS...
Honestly, I'd prefer the Pizzas at Pizza Hut and the Pastas at Olio Dome. Who the heck bothers about Pastamania? It's just another fast food outlet though...
