umm. today was a bitchy day. err, not really la actually, it's just the start of the day which pissed me off. imagine having only AN HOUR, i repeat, ONE HOUR of sleep, and waking up to go to school. One miraculous thing for sure is, i dont feel sleepy, i just naturally got up but i didnt shower because i did so 2 hours ago? got dressed, and nevre really bothered to doll up as it's a waste of time and my hair is so short now anyway. grabbed my guitar bag and left home. it was a fricking bright morning, my eyes are just not adjusted to the level of brightness yet.
THURSDAY.
830am.
walked briskly to the bustop and noticed that there were not much people waiting, so i predicted, my bus just left. took 159 for a change. the mrt was kinda packed also, and there was no chance for me to sit, so i had to stand all the way with a bag that weighs almost equivalent to a 3 year old kid. and so, upon reaching my bustop later, i thought i was fortunate as i didnt have to wait any longer than 5 minutes for my bus to appear, but.. it's just fucked up to get caught up in a heavily congested road later on, and spent like almost fucking 10 minutes at the traffic light. and "that almost 10 minutes" was extremely precious to me and upon my arrival to the school auditorium, where my exam was, i was told at the door that i had already failed the exam.
fucking hell. and so, i was 9 minutes late for the real thing, and that made me fail instantly. my pleas fell on the deaf ears of the HOD of music programme. no words can describe how pissed i was at that time. i had a mixture of emotions too, anger, a little dose of depression, confusion and whatever else negative. so, i wasted my fucking time going to school in the early morning in the first place. all my efforts of memorising those scales and practicing them went down the drain.
i just walked out of the school gates, remaining no longer than 10 minutes in school. sometimes i wished i had the power to manipulate time. if i had that gift, i would be able to fix so many missing pieces of my life. i will never be late for school, i could go back in time to fix some stuff and gain whatever which was RIGHTFULLY mine. from friendships to relationships, just name it. with all that done, i wouldnt have been entangled in the mess now.
had nowhere to go in mind. it was like only freaking 945am. early as fuck. i just had to go with the flow, the next bus that came was 30, so i just took it, it goes to Old Airport Road, a foodie paradise. as expected, most of the stalls were closed, including my favorite Wanton Mee stall. fuckkkkk. i spotted another wanton mee stall and ordered from it. though i dont really feel hungry, i'm eating just to drown all my feelings away. and the wantoon noodle from this stall was not bad, but i still think my fav stall tastes better. and then. while i was busy indulging myself, there was this lady who kept pestering me in chinese to buy a copy of straits times as it was the copy she had. at first i said NO, then she continued to annoy me and in the end i gave in and bought it, i just needed to shoo her away.
took a direct bus down to ESPLANADE. i had an overdue book to return. and this book is borrowed under my friend's IC, not mine, if he finds out, he'll kill me. loitered around for a while and found out it was boring and pointless. like, 90% of the shops were not even open yet and barely people around too. mostly, i saw foreigners taking pictures around Esplanade, from the regular ang mohs, to a group of japanese girls.
MRT-ed and walked to Peace Center. next destination in mind, Citymusic. went there just to get a new pack of strings for my guitar, and i think i bought oversized strings, but i didnt really bother. went home from there. it sucks walking around and spending the entire day alone. got home at around 12pm, and noticed a bunch of giant flowers outside this certain store. and i was wondering what was all the hype for. and ya, SAKAE SUSHI @ Hg Pt, officially opened today. dining there brought me back some memories.
rested at home. i didnt have to courage to tell my parents the truth. one day, they'll find out themselves. telling now would only ruin my holiday mood. showered and napped the entire afternoon.
nightfall.
mom came back with an unexpected surprise for me. she bought the GOONG dvd. and so. i was happy la, since i have been missing out on so many damn episodes whenever im out and not being back home in time to catch the show.
damn. im feeling hungrier than ever now. should have tabao-ed a packet of BBQ chicken wing rice just now when i was out having fun. how inconvenient of Cheers downstairs to shut off their 24 hour service. Late-Night-Junk-Food-Junkies like me have to suffer. urgh. ok. some pictures below before i have to rack my brains to think of what to do for the whole night.
GOONG DVD!
Alternate Views of what's inside.
the last picture, pretty much the same thing. but this angle like shit.
i miss those days where we used to meet
though i've yet to know you much inside out,
i think i've fallen for you
your eyes gleam like jewels
with a smile sweeter than candy
but in this cold, harsh and competitive world..
there's always someone who will overtake me in this virtual RACE.
