A day as a Tourist in Singapore

Last thursday, 1st July marked another crucial day in this year. Somehow after this very day, exams for me is just a floating avenue for me to express my thoughts and my ability to memorize like a fool.

Well, it seemed like so long since last thursday but it has only been 3 passing days and all in which i managed to successfully get myself caught in the rain, thus feeling very feverish when i get back home. Perhaps, i'm worried about the probability of another 1 weak of lying in... CHOY.

Well, on that very Thursday night, somehow i believe plans do not always go where i want them to. I can't really take the full blame for it because some people are simply not committed to being committed to what they promise and somehow these people take greater priority to those who come in with a so-called emergency; thus they are willing to sacrifice whatever they promise by telling the host that they really have to take a rain-check but little did they know that they bloody screwed up the planning process and the host may have to take some form of emotional responsibility and accountability when others enquire why that particular person is not present.

Somehow, sometimes people do not appreciate my planning and accomodation or perhaps its because it has become a norm that i take the role as the planner that i am undoubtfully supposed to be better than others at it. If you don't start, how can you ever get better at it? And if you do not want to take the trouble to plan and organize, don't grumble about other people's flaws in planning, coz it will not do the organizer any good.

Anyway, Thursday night i spent it in my comfy room. I did up a major sweep of my study from top to bottom, by packing up my handy notes up into thick green files. I believe filing has become an important culture in my study life because somehow there is a recollection process especially when i'm doing modules of the same nature in different terms and different stages of education. Somehow i'm able to leverage on these pre-prepares notes as a form of ease in research.

Friday was indeed a messed up day, because everything seemed to go wrong on that day. It rained terribly and many interferences got in the way; especially when it comes to handphone batteries and all. Even my hand phone was running low and i had to conserve to meet up with Zach. Friday I met up with a long awaited but however-still-lack of-trust friend; GARY. Infer it, don't paste it to me! Anyway, i did not know he was that kind of on-the-ball straight-for-the-purchase vulture kind of purchasing behavior, or else i would have planned a bigger and more safer route of execution.

I met up with him at 1545. He bought his shoe at 1615. The next time to meet was around 1815 with Zach, whom I have alot of history with. I guess things change from time to time. And perhaps, it was time to let go of some hateful baggage which I've been holding on for over a year and a half. As Gary had his purchase too prematurely and happily, we had to figure something out. The rain was pouring and i was in a distress as there was a time gap of 2 hours which we really needed to kill.

Fortunately, this fellow is not as picky and flexible kind of person, thus we decided to take a stroll from AnchorPoint to IKEA and back and fore. We camped back at Mcdonalds again and seriously it was my first time having a Ice-cream Sundae. It was awesome, so much that it tasted better than its cost price of $1.50. Zach came along and we sat for a scrumptious dinner of fish and chips, cheeese cakes, chicken wings and pasta!

Blacked out and was awaken by the Saturday morning thunderstorm! I was frustrated at first because of all the days, it had to rain on the day which i was going to be a tourist at Bugis. Nevertheless, i had to meet my appointment to make specs at 1330. Embraced the rain and tried to dodge the rain drops, however so inevitably failed but it was a way of comforting myself in an effort to not get drenched in the rain for unnecessary reasons unless i'm back in the army which would actually mean i could get a good MC if anything inappropriate were to happen.

Gosh, did you know i rely on my right eye to see? Well apparently, my left eye only increased by 50 whereas my right eye went up by 150. It was a holly load of "CLEAR", "BLURRY", "CANT SEE", "RED", "GREEN" experience for me in that chair for a holly 60 minutes. Well, the price of the specs is indeed brilliantly outrageous but how do you reject someone's pricing if you have been accepting his services for the past 50 over minutes? It came up to $3....8....0.

I left for Bugis at 1410. The weather was impressively taken a turn in a way that it was bright and sunny again, how fascinating. I strolled up and down Sim Lim Square for over an hour or so, before finally picking out the right product. I believe last time when i actually looked for my keyboard purchases, i never really take into an account my typing habits, the positioning of the keys and the functions i really need to pay for. There are some keyboards which are really that awesome but I'm paying like another 10$ more for just a few more functions like key binding, internet browsing keys and what not. I searched high and low for the most appropriate one! And it turned out to be Microsoft. Well, apparently i did not look at the first level Pasa Malam, or else i could have reached my purchasing decision in minutes! The keyboard at the first level was selling at $24.90 without the mouse. The purchase i made was $29.90 with a Microsoft mouse. I guess, i paid $5 bucks for this silly mouse; which in the end i gave it to my mother!

I had some spare time to venture around to look at Netbooks, speakers and basically some peripherals. I believe the sale of calculators is become extinct. I seriously was hoping to get a change of my existing calculator or basically to replace it with a similar model but apparently, these days calculator shops do not really survive and even when i found one shop that did, my model was already obsolete like 10 years ago! So dread! I walked off.

I went down to Bugis street market and boy it was good to check out the finger food. I bought 3kg worth of cranberries back, coz it was so damn sweettt! It would definitely make a good match for my corn flakes. I got myself a few dark colored shirts - say i'm a tourist already. Before i left Bugis, i got myself a box of dohnuts from dohnut factory! It was totally worth the wait even though i'm not a fan of queues butt....

I went back to Clementi and grabbed myself a delightful dinner with Mcdonalds cheesburger filet oh fish, some tang-yuans, popiahs and prata~. What? You can't blame me for trying to recover back my energy from all that walking, coz seriously gosh it has been so long since i actually walked more than 3km.

Ha, that sums up probably the most fruitful and eventful days of this July. After next weak, I'll probably not become so adventurous anymore. :)~
