Got an apology email from Iggi at Culture Coalition for not opening on Saturday as promised. Now that is what I call commitment. Apparently his friend had an accident and had to go to hospital so... no biggie though.

Iggi, who's also the same guy behind the Coalition Store at Heeren Shops, great guy. I visited after school and managed to pick up this

Looks fucking awesome doesn't it? The material's a bit thin, but great design and fits very well too! Really digging it.

So it's the Chinese Lunar New Year again... yay for red packets. Because there's money inside.

I even have leftover money from LAST year. That's just fucked up.

Went out yesterday to the Heeren Shops because I finally had both time and money, and because Coalition Store posted on its Facebook wall that they'd be open from 12pm to 4pm on Saturday.

When I got there at 3.15pm, it was closed. Fucking shit.

I went into the Punk Star shop just opposite to check if they even opened at all. Lady told me no.

I went all the way to Orchard for fucking nothing.

I'm not pissed off. Just disappointed. I've been too fucking busy to go out at all, and when I finally have time to, the only place I wanted to visit was closed. Ok, actually, I am pissed, because they were closed when they were supposed to be open! The fuck is up with that man?

I posted on both Coalition Store's and Culture Coalition's Facebook walls about this shit, no reply yet. The dude behind both pages, he's normally very active on his page. Probably doesn't know what to say huh. I do expect an answer y'know.

I'll still go back anyway, on account of their awesome t-shirts. I just hope they're open the next time I go.

So

So my brother's math tutor came by today. She also came by last week but I didn't really pay much attention to her, except for how nice she smelt. She smelt really, really nice. I didn't go around sniffing her body, mind you, just that after my bro's tuition session there was this really intoxicating smell in the room that just kinda drove me crazy.

I got home from school today after a test (on a goddamn Saturday), sat around the living room, still in my smelly jeans and t-shirt when she appeared at the door. Naturally, I went to open it for her. First time I really saw her face. I was stunned. Like I just ran into a wall. A polite thank you, smile, small wave. That smell again. Heart beat quickening.

I think I'm beginning to like her. Now I have to wait a whole damn week.

Apparently I don't understand people around my age very much. How come they can stay up so late and claim they don't feel tired at all? Why are they so fascinated with booze? Is getting drunk really that "cool"? Somehow I think they're all just lying to themselves.

I've never understood why people like clubbing. What is so appealing about going to a place filled to the brim with other assholes just so you can buy overpriced drinks and listen to shitty music raping your ears?

I've never been to nightclub but from what I've seen/heard, it's really kind of a shit hole. It looks sort of a like a really small, dark room, with crazy lights of a thousand different colours flickering around, and everything is blue (or red). There is a huge mass of people dancing, although I wouldn't call that dancing. Its really more like they're shaking their heads and jumping on the spot and jerking their bodies like their having a fit. Oh of course, everyone is piss drunk and sweaty all over. There's a lot of noise, mostly dance tracks that sound like someone playing with laser guns (pew pew pew). There's no decent conversations to be had at a nightclub because nobody can hear anything except for pewpewpew and boomboomboom, they can't even hear themselves think.

Yup, everything's blue.

Guys probably go to nightclubs to gawk at girls (not women), although there really isn't a point because the lighting sucks so bad they can't really tell who looks good and who looks like a bucket of shit. The dance floor is basically a human meat market, except the meat's for free. Maybe that's why guys like it so much.

Girls go to a nightclub because... I have no idea why. Maybe because they like getting touched all over by strangers? Because they're there to attract attention by hot-blooded fuckwits looking for easy pussy?

Then there are those that go there to drink, and subsequently get drunk. They dress up nicely and leave home for the night with the sole purpose of getting so drunk they start acting like spastics and then feel like they got ass raped by an elephant the next day. Isn't that nice?

Some say they go to clubs so they can meet people. Why would anyone go to a place where shit is so loud they can't even hear themselves talk, so they can meet people? So what if you actually meet someone you're interested in? You have to shout yourself hoarse just so you can introduce yourself, but it doesn't really matter because the other person can't hear you anyway. Maybe it's because intellectual conversation doesn't matter in a nightclub. Nothing but diarrhoea comes out of your mouth, but it doesn't matter if you look hot. Actually I think it's easy to look hot in places where people can't really see you.
I would much rather go to a bar, like this one below

Comfortable, nice atmosphere, no shitty music, no shitty lights, no shitty dancefloor. A place where people can actually see and talk to each other and have real conversations over a pint of beer. Preferably not too many people, because I hate people.

Seriously, if anyone ever asks me to go clubbing with them, I'd much rather walk around the streets killing people with a sledgehammer and fucking their corpses. Or stay at home with a nice book.

Uncommon

Swanky iPhone case designs from Uncommon. You can even customise them with your own design if you want.

I managed to pick one up from DG Lifestyle store in Vivocity. Kinda surprised to see one of Uncommon's Deflector cases hanging on their shelves, I though I had to order online to get one, which I would rather avoid. There was only one left so obviously I had no other options for the design but what the hell, I'll take it. Cost me $58, which is I believe is cheaper than if I had shipped one from Chicago. It's still fucking expensive, but it's a lot better than an earlier one I purchased, a flimsy piece of shit, paint peeling off all over, for 25 fucking dollars. Here's a picture of the one I purchased

My brother says it's girly and gay, but I say fuck him, because I fucking love this shit. To be honest, I would've chosen a different design or even design it myself if I had the choice but what the fuck! If you don't have a case like this you have no idea how awesome it is to have a cute yet twisted looking girl staring at you on the back of your iPhone 4.

The quality is of the artwork is awesome, the printing is pretty much flawless, the case is tough, although it offers no protection at all for the front of the phone. The only thing I hate about it is how damn tight it is. Once you snap the case on your phone, there's no going back. It's near impossible to remove the fucking thing! Fortunately the design is good enough so that I'm able to reach the volume control and stuff like that. If you plan on removing the case ever so often, stay far far away from the Deflector case. Otherwise, its really a good buy. They also have Capsule Cases, which is also the kind that snaps onto your phone, except that it comes in two parts so I would think it's much easier to remove, although I do find the Deflector a lot sexier. Ah well, my phone and case are now mated for life.

I also bought a pair of Nakamichi in-ear monitors (IEMs) for my iPhone, because Apple's stock earbuds suck. Cose me $48, though I kinda regret not shelling out $20 extra for a better pair of Nakamichis. But still, they're a whole lot better than the stock earbuds, and good enough for my purposes.
