No Self-Improvement Here, Today

Self-improvement is masturbation

Today Mandrake asked me out for lunch. He is currently based smack in the middle of the CBD so we had to have lunch somewhere near Change Alley.

I did not realize that there is now a underground shopping center now. We wandered around looking at the cafe’s which were 100% packed to the brim. Finally we decided to have lunch at Burger King. Mandrake lost at our little game of rock-paper-scissors so he had to go queue up and buy the meal.

I think among all my friends, Mandrake and I have the least interests in common. The only things we share a common interest in are pron, 24 (Jack Bauer) and books.

But among all my friends, the only other person I know who actually reads for entertainment is Mandrake. So after lunch, we went to a bookshop and slagged all the authors we detested and heaped praises on those we liked.

This bookshop we went to had a strange section labeled ‘SELF-IMPROVEMENT’ on a bright orange label but was filled with science-fiction books. Lol. Maybe sci-fi makes you smarter!

(no, that’s not mandrake in the pic above, just some dude who happened to be in the way of the shot)

eh, you should check out the romance section that guy was checking out.. Mills and Boons..

By the way, Horror was also labeled under Self Improvement.

Sci-fi does make you smarter, look at Data from star-trek for example. Problem is, if you get smarter you start to look more like him. :P

hey I was reading powerpuff, she wrote that you have invited her out to lunch, so you were with Mandrake and Powerpuff? :D *nana I occasionally was reading powerpuff’s weblog lol*

powerpuff = yesterday
mandrake = today

tomorrow = echa :D :D :D :P

mandrake > yeah, wonder why that guy was lookin at romance books, totally out of char.

papi > Actually self-improvement may be fiction lol

echa > I might be going to Rotterdam later this year, is that anywhere near your home?

hah?!?! Really?? *runs away*
mOuhahah LOL :P
Rotterdam is far from Utrecht but I do go there by train, simple way, netherland is not that big unless you told me that you’d go to Groningen, its really far away from here.

i think because i blogged past midnight for the lunch on 27th, hence it seems like mandrake and I met up with caleb on the same day…. whooopsey!
