I went shopping today. But in all honesty, most of the money was spent on myself. I put away some of it towards my Sydney trip. Funds are still a bit low, but I should be okay. I've got some more to put away and my parents have offered to pay for my airfare as my Christmas present. Yeah, well today I picked up (finally) those figure/sculptures. I got Squall and Rinoa from Final Fantasy VIII (my personal favourite), Cloud from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and a large sculpture of Ayane from Ninja Gaiden. They look awesome.
Lesson - Don't be a hoarder.
I am shocking at the moment. I'm running out of room for all my things. I guess when I decide to move out of home (which probably won't happen until maybe 2008) I will need to make sure that I don't accumulate so much crap. In the meantime, I need a new bed, maybe re organise my shelves and desk, after I do that it should be all right.
I also bought a 2GB flash drive and two games for my XBox 360. I could have bought the Nintendo Wii I have on hold, but I don't think I should get it just yet. Bit more time, then I will take it. I got my Dad's Christmas present, he's easy to shop for but hard to shop for as well... If that makes any sense. Basically, Dad is easy in the sense that he loves movies. So buying a DVD sounds like the perfect gift. But we have so many at home, it's hard to find one he hasn't got. Also he may decide to spontaneously buy one that you get him for Christmas. So I just got him a voucher, should be right.
Had work today and it was BORING! There was no one in the store for ages. I went to Southland and checked out our store there and it was really busy! Here, not a soul. It was good because it meant we had less things to do. But yeah, it was so dull, 30 minutes seemed like two hours. I wanted to chat with the girl at the cafe, but all I could manage was a weak smile. Since I got drunk at the Christmas party, I just lost it. I can't bring myself to talk to her, I don't remember why either.
Lesson - Always keep at least one thing unfinished when the day is slow. You can pick at it to make the time go by.
I bought two games today for my XBox 360, one was Oblivion, which I like. It's pretty cool so far. As for the other one, it was Gears of War. It's a very good game. Extremely cool and easy to pick up. But I cannot play shooting games. I'm ridiculously crap at them. I struggled with the first enemy for goodness sake! Oh well, I gave it a try. It was good, but I think I will just get my money back.
Lesson - Take advantage of company policy.
In reality I could use the 7 day return policy to try every game. But really I prefer to know I have the money rather than play the games all the time. Tomorrow I have work at 6pm, hopefully I can go playing pool with my mate afterwards. Who knows? I might even grow some balls and converse with the girl at the cafe! We'll see.
Take care of yourselves.

Props to you on getting Squall & Rinoa!! ^^
Squall and Rinoa- Gosh, I love em. They're my favorite couple for sure. There's actually an interest theory about the story of the game, in which if you want to know, I will tell you. I personally do not like the theory, but so far it's been making a lot of sense, which I hate.
Aww I love Squall and Rinoa :D
Hmm is it to do with Squall being white and Rinoa being Asian looking?
