Letters to my future self

8th mar - money out, money in

strange how my finances always seem to work themselves out.... only when its already pay day or damn close to payday.

today i went down to town for a haircut, while i was in plaza sing, i thought, hm.. y dont i go to the apple corner and take a look. bad bad mistake... when u're trying to stretch ur dollar until payday, any kind of apple shop shd be considered as one of the last places in the world u would visit.

i ended up paying 38.40 for a pair of silicon covers for the shuffle, and a 'smartwrap' thats supposed be a piece of rubber that i can 'wrap' the wires of the earphones around so that i dotn have to face the problems of entangled wires again.

tsk.

less then 20 mins later, i was back at meridian. out of no where orry suddenly popped up, bought some random rare foils for me and took my doom EA promo for 30. 30 for the EA promo is actually quite high now. if i were him, i would rather wait a few more days until the next pcq and get it then, esp he's only missing 1. not that i shd be complaining now. oh well, he handed me 38 dollars, which almost cushioned the impact of my recent purchases entirely.

following that was a draft which i'm supposed to have won, except i had to pull some stunts in my game against timmy and promptly lost.

which reminds me, by the way, eugene, if u're reading this, actually i think i lost the coin toss (or die roll) in our game. come to think of it, u took init on turn 1, passed to me, took turn 3.. AND turn 4 (i remember how all my guys were stunned aft i played bullseye). which is y suddenly out of no where i had init on 7, a pt that has been puzzling me since the end of the draft.

then end results of the draft was a 4 way tie at the top and we had to roll off to determine the winner. i rolled a high of 25 on 5 die to claim 1st pick, redemption for the silly mistake against timmy.

for some strange reason, aft the draft, someone suggested to play baluut. alright, baluut it is. its some dice game that involves some money and alot of luck. i finised 2nd in the 1st pod and won abt i dont know... $4? i won the 2nd pod, which was not hard since i pulled off a baluut of 36, thou i had some mediocre rolls towards the end... *grumble grumble* i believe i won abt $10 for that one.

teleport back to home. random chk on buylist status... oh... changes to price... *groans*
oh hello? wait a min.... this used to be 5... its now... 10? and that... didnt it used to be 4? now.. its 7? oh... wow.

a pile that i was going to be sending in almost doubled in value, making it literally 'a pile', i really shdnt be complaining at all.... it looks like in abt a couple of weeks time, i'll have quite abit of money to play around on ebay and online shops. more investments perhaps? *heh*

alright, off to catch spirited away and gundam. hurray to bit torrent
