I stayed at home for the entire day playing Summon Night.
And you know what's really annoying?
I squandered two whole hours away to get my sword shapestone DEGRADED.
Bloody HELL.
I hope the zit on my face makes itself scare by tomorrow, or It'll be another day of slacking at home.
Sigh.

I chanced upon this email that my primary school friend had sent me on "Fond memories For those who born in the 70s and 80s", which so happens to be MY generation for your knowledge anyway.
I shall share some of the interesting things that happened during my generation a few ten years back in history.
You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in Primary school during recess time. You will squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a coloured mug.The teachers said you must brush each side 10 times too.
You pay 40 cents for Chocolate or Strawberry MILK every week in class (Oh, the milk).
SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned (I can't find any words to relate how much I miss the breeze caressing my hair along the ride).
Envelopes given to us to donate to Sharity Elephant every Children's Day.
You've probably read Young Generation magazine.You know who's Vinny the little vampire and Acai the constable (Yes, I do know who they are).
You longed to buy tibits called Kaka (20 cents per pack), and Ding Dang (50 cents per box), that had a toy in it and it changesevery week not forgetting the 15 cents animal crackers and the ring pop, where the lollipop is the diamond on the ring.
Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven are probably the thickest story books you ever thought you have read (I MISS THESE BOOKS!).
KFC used to be a high class restaurant that serve food in plates and let you use metal forks and knives (It was?).
The most vulgar thing you said was asshole and idiot and THE MOST EXTREME WAS 'super white'...you just couldn't bring yourself to say the hokkien relative (Um, I don't know about this but for one thing I don't scold FUCK as much as I do now, haha).
Catching was the IN thing and twist was the magic word (Yep).
Your English workbooks was made of some damn poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow (Really?).
The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixellised characters in 16 colours walking about trying to teach you maths (Kinda).
Waterbottles were slinged around your neck and a must everywhere you go (That was only until primary four or five).
Teng-teng, five stones, chapteh, hentam bola and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys (What the blazes are hentam bola, Teng-teng and zero point?!).
Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives, guppies and swordtail being the most important fish (Yeah and we dissected a frog into half LOL).
We carry out experiments of our own to get yourself badges for being a Young Zoologist/Botanist etc (Don't get me started).
In Primary six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother (Sure, I had an imbecile for a "big brother" alright).
We wear BM2000, BATA, or Pallas shoes.
The worksheets were made of brown rough paper of poor quality (Yup).
There would be spelling tests and mental sums to do almost everyday (HAHA, I owned them all).
Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday (I got $2 each day).
Boys liked to catch fighting spiders (Like me).
Collecting and battling erasers was a pastime for boys (Been there. Did that).
Class monitors and prefects loved to say 'You talk somemore, I write your name ah!' (Well, how about "I'm gunna' freaking bash the SHIT out of your godamned arse if I so ever see as much as a pen dot on your book!").
There were at least 40 people in one class (There were? Not that I really care).
Large, colourful schoolbags were carried (Not forgetting all that ridiculous Power Ranger prints they had on em').
You brought every single book to school, even though there was one thing called the timetable (You can credit my parents for that).

Well that's about it. Holidays rule!
Time for bed!
BEGONE, ACCURSED ZIT!
Or prepareth to face thy wrath of the enraged DEMON KING MASAMUNE89!!!
Lol.
