speeding cars & sinking ships

i had a an okay day today. woke up at 10.30am, which is insanely early for a saturday morning.. went out with 'the couples' (they know who they are... hehe) to southampton. finally collected my phone back from the vodafone. it's workin' good now even though i don't really care that much about it actually. i only had it for 2months now and i'm really bored of it already! i feel like getting a new phone. if it wasn't for that stupid mix up with the bank i'd buy one right now!

damn credit card.. for those of you who don't know the story yet, here it is. i bought my electric drums, (which i named lisa.) over a month ago and i paid using my credit card. i thought i arranged my end-of-month payment to be, 5% or more of my credit card usage. but something went wrong and it seems i applied for a FULL PAYMENT. imagine my shock and disbelief when i checked my credit card account online.

payment - £449 (thank you)

at first my thoughts were, "huh? someone paid my credit card bill? dad? nah... can't be... unless it's my..."

*checks bank account*

payment (credit card) - £499
current balance - £338 D

"holy freakin' crap..."

i paid lisa in full! how close was i to having a heart-attack? very close... some of you may not know this but that 'D' is NOT a good thing... it means, i owe the bank that amount...
so yeah... it's a lean month for me, it seems...
that's why i was very hesitant on coming along with the guys who were planning on going for a movie marathon. watching 2 movies back to back. but i didn't want to miss watching all the cool cars and not to mention the hot chicks that goes great next to them in fast & the furious: tokyo drift. the second movie caught my interest too, poseiden. seeing that i work on ships, i wanted to watch how accurate the movie is to real life. it was pretty good actually.
fast & the furious was nyeeehhh... i didn't like the characters in it. the hero acts so cocky and what the hell is up with the cowboy accent?! but the movie is all about the cars. and excluding the actors, it's an awesome movie.

happy birthday to a very close friend of mine, fish! miss hanging out with you!
