Wednesday. Half way through happiness.
So I finally went out during this holiday. Mission objective: Study. Mission Outcome?
Personally, I would say FAIL but according to Binghao and Hidhir, it was success beyond words. Oh, Shermaine shared my sentiments.
I went down to PP today at around 1+ and met them at BK. It so happened that Jill was there as well with her friend whose name escapes me at the moment. But if I remember correctly, she's the one who I sent the Pokemon file to. Anyways, it was decided that lunch was to be settled at that fast food joint. Since it was 3 votes against 1-me- I just followed. PS. BK Fish isn't very healthy, what with all that tar-tar sauce and unsaturated fats.
So we studied for a while there. I did my Chemistry-realised how shitty it was- Binghao and Hidhir I think were doing Biology which I had been neglecting so far. Shermaine...I can't remember her doing anything. Haha. She wasn't even at the table.
Anyway, bottom line is. Studying at BK.
Sucks.
The lighting was terrible. One damn light tube kept flickering and it utterly pissed the shit out of me. Then there was the incessant laughter from this bunch of dudes not so far away from us. Laugh. Laugh. Loud laugh. Urgh. So we decided to heat down to DOME. If we did, we might had bumped into Claire but instead, I suggested Coffee Bean so we went there instead.
We made a slight detour as Binghao had to buy his coconut or whatever.
Studying at Coffee Bean was way better. The environment was conducive and haha, there was some sight-seeing to do. But that aside. I managed to complete (FINALLY) the stoichio exercise on chem and Alkenes revision and was about to embark on the next topic when Binghoa suggested going for a fashion trip. -.-
Okay.
So off we went.
Of course there were a few hiccups during the studying...This baby kept screaming behind my ear really annoyed me. My ear drums probably thinned a couple of milimeters.
We went to Topman and for the first time in my life-okay..maybe more than just ONCE- I felt that I have neglected the fashion industry for quite a while. I mean, you can't blame me all right? There're much important stuff to pay notice to. For example, there's the damn promos, e assessments and money. I just spent like a relatively huge sum-to me la- on this laptop and if I go and get myself another shirt from Topman, my Mum would probably let me sleep in the lift lobby. It isn't that bad when the weather is cooling. But of the late, it's been raining non-stop and the place is kinda smelly.
Anyway, back to the main picture.
So we walked and we walked around Topman. Then Binghao went home and the three remaining went to the Arcade to unwind.
I swear gaming on the keyboard and mouse has damaged my console prowess. I actually lost like 4 times to Hidhir on Marvel VS Capcom. I don't believe this man. Urgh. But then again, I was trying to use logic to decipher the moves so I probably lost time and life during those moments. We played Daytona where Hidhir played dirty and lang-gah into me in the last lap. Ma de..Another Dewei. Grr.
On a lighter note, I managed to thrash the both of them in air hockey 7-1 and almost own the basketball game. Haha.
It started to rain.
Hidhir took a cab home and Shermaine and I took 31.
The important details start here.
Normally, a trip from PP to Kallang, even in the peak hours, would take no more than 45 minutes.
Gues what.
Today, I took 1 hour +++++ to get home.
Why? Because some cabbie mounted the kerb on a single lane and TA DAH. The WHOLE FREAKING LANE WAS BLOCKED.
*breathe*
The above scenario happened at Old Airport Road.
So, in order not to waste any precious time and to get home to start studying ASAP, Shermaine and I alighted. And we walked.
We walked from Old Airport Road to Kallang.
Wonderful.
I guess it isn't so bad because at least there's accompany and a couple of funny things that happened en route.
(Guys..if you wanna have 1-1 time with girl, pray bus breaks down)
And no..we are just friends. Haha
So we walked and we walked
Boy was it long.
Mum kept ringing me up why I was taking so bloody long to get home. I swear if not for the bus reason, I would be a dead fish now.
But it was nice. It's been a long long time ever since I managed to have a long walk and talk with someone. The last time this happened was during Sec4 I think when I chatted with...can't remember. It was either Julian or De wei. Ah.
So by the time we reached Kallang, it was around 9+.
And that's that.
By the way, it is quite nice to walk from the Old Airport Road area to Kallang. I know it's nice at night but mid-day, er..not so nice. Haha.
Oh well. As much as I found it unproductive today..It was nice unwinding for a while.
Maybe I should had played Time Crisis..then I would have owned. Oh, they both 'died' at Para Para. Haha.
