Tea Party Outing with A and M, with a nice little Swine Flu Badge from WY
I met WY earlier in the afternoon at Dhoby Ghaut to get a nice little Swine Flu badge from her. After that, I headed off to Buona Vista to have lunch with A. After lunch, we made our way to Tea Party and met M there – spending the most of the afternoon there. As for why there’s only 2 cups there, it’s beacuse M came later, and I didn’t take a picture of her drink . The drink I had (on the right, behind the swine flu badge) sucked, it was bitter, even after adding 3 entire packets of sugar – I decided to live with it after adding the 3 packets, I don’t want to die of diabetes.
After that, we went to Orchard Central to take a walk at the new shopping mall.
By evening, we went back, And I spent the night watching 百万大歌星 instead of studying – well done!
I started the day with one particular thing in mind – I had to go to the office after class to attend a short meeting. Instead of wearing what I would have worn today, I took the liberty to wear long pants/jeans and a T-Shirt.
After classes, figuring that I’d be late if I took the MRT or Bus down, I took a cab down instead – only to forget what the building and the area was called again – resorting to call it “the place opposite the Indian Temple along [a certain road]“.
Alighting, I walked into the office, the boss exclaimed something along the lines of: “Oh wow! You’re here, and you’re in sandals!”
I was astonished! Of all things, I forgot the shoes, and shoes were something I would always remember, because I don’t like wearing them unless I have to.
The only thing I could bring myself to say was, “I just came from class.”
Luckily, it wasn’t really an environment of extreme formaility, but it was just pure embarassing, that’s all.
On another note, I see now you’ve got other people around you. I’m probably just an annoyance now.
Besides, I think I’m being an annoyance to everyone around me, so perhaps it’ll be a good idea to head back into living in my own turtle shell (uh I meant well).

Anyway, just last Saturday, some of us were over at Marina Square after an event at Iluma. Of course, I’m not looking forward to the pictures of that day at Iluma on Facebook.
Whilst having dinner at Marina Square, there were fireworks. I heard noise coming from the Floating Platform, and I was wondering if there were actually rehearsals for the National Day Parade going on. Fireworks started to go off bit by bit, then it started to pour really heavily, yet the “practices” still went on, along with the fireworks. I thought they were crazy to have rehearsals in that weather.
Nevertheless, I found out later it was the NE Show, not some rehearsals.
Whatever the case, here are some horrible attempts at taking the pictures of the fireworks!
Quite nicely taken for pictures from a phone.
I realised too, whenever there are events like this, by the time you take out your camera to snap a picture, you just narrowly miss it. When you keep your phone, it appears again, and you fail to take it again. So when you leave your phone there and not keep it, when it happens again, you fail to take the picture because your phone is processing the images from the previous failed shots.

I went to ECP on Sunday. The breeze was nice and I saw this nice little scene by the beach – not that I’m patriotic or any of the sort.
The Singapore Flag (or four of them, actually)
The flags were just flying for the whole day in that position.
The breeze was great, felt like as if I was at home sitting in front of my fan. The only difference was that I felt salty after standing in the breeze for a while, as opposed to sitting in front of my fan.
I wanted to change the title of this blog to “My Whimsical Thoughts” or something along those lines, but I refrained from doing so. I thought that since the current one had been there for so long, I might as well leave it – so I changed the line below the title instead, a relatively less visible change.
Lessons start tomorrow again, back to the good old schedule of waking up at 7:15am. Somehow or another, the three week break was better than I thought it would have been, though I’m sure it’d have been better if certain things never happened.
Been listening to this and liking it, though I’ve had it in my library for some time already, I didn’t really pay much attention to it.

– well done!
