couldn't do the 30 minutes of cardio, so i only lifted on friday, drove home, and showered quickly and headed to andrews place.



i was in a bit of a rush to get there, and while driving i realized how hard it is to actually see who has passengers in the carpool lane, so i just jumped into the lane whenever the traffic got a little thick. everyone is pretty good in staying out of the carpool lane because the fine is so high and everyone is just conditioned to not drive there. so i thought of chances of getting caught were pretty low. there were a lot of cars on the road when i started driving 7:25 and managed to make it to andrew's place by 8:35.



we got to maggianos, and had a wonderful meal. we went to cha for tea afterwards. then we headed back to andrew's place and chilled to about 4am. we all woke up pretty early for some reason, and went to get pho around noon. the pho was okay at best. and was expensive. can you believe they charged $6.50 for pho? and it wasn't that good. and they gave you a little amount of noodles on a large bowl. then we hit tapioca express, but i passed on the boba because this week has been a all out carb fest i decided i should pass. then we went and chilled at andrew's apartment for a bit, and ritchie and sandy were going to go to dvdplanet so i decided to follow them. they did have some good prices on some select stuff. not great prices on some. i bought 3 DVD's.

Lord of the Rings

Swordsman 2

I'm Your Man (interactive DVD movie) for $4. I thought it was a concept, and it was dirt cheap. Never had seen or heard of it.



after the dvd splurge, i drove back home with relative ease. and then decided to take a nap before the gym. i woke up at 9:45, and thought i should leave by 10. then i checked the times on the website, and rimac closes on 10 on saturdays so i decided to pass on rimac. i thought i should take it a little easy this week anyway. i played some GTA VC, and finally got the 100 hidden packages, and after about 4 weeks of playing the game (not every day), i finally got to fly the apache helicopter. not disappointed, but it is everything that i expected it to be. but instead of it having just guns, it has dual rockets as well.



the living room got really cold, so i decided to start the fire in our fireplace for the first time. it is quite a chore to keep the flame going. i had some meat defrosted that i needed to get rid of so i made some beef with broccoli. it turned out pretty good. i overcooked the broccoli a little bit, and used a tad bit too much corn starch. but for my first attempt at it, it was pretty good.
