A Chilling Saturday


I had to make an extra effort to wake up at 9am even though the previous night I slept before 11pm. Perhaps, it was the cooling morning or my rare day without work that made me feel so reluctant to leave my warm and comfortable bed. Anyway, I did 20 crunches at one go, packed my room and prepared a pail of water so that I could clean my floor after my run. After a week of not running – been packed with activities on my non-tuition nights, I felt more tired than my usual run. Despite of that, I ran a longer distance. ^^ Yea, after my run, I cleaned my room and washed my common toilet’s basin and toilet bowl. =D

After my refreshing bathe and a not so appetising breakfast, I walked to Queenstown Library to borrow some books for myself and mum. Upon reaching there, I learnt that the library will only be opened at 2pm and it was only 1pm. o.o Therefore, I decided to make a trip to Orchard Road to buy my black dress by walking to a bus stop that required me to walk for 15minutes. The blazing sun made my walk a grumpy one. If you could read my mind, you would surely find me very irritating. Ha ha. That was how much I grumbled. =/

After waiting for what seemed like eternity, the bus finally came but I could not board it because it was too full. =( Anyway, I saw an ex-colleague but did not manage to greet her because I did not feel like doing so and she did not see me anyway. = p Seeing her answered a question of mine. I decided to walk back to Queenstown Library when the bus did not come by 1.45pm.
Upon reaching home, I had to carry out my mission – bring food to my sis’s hostel. The amount of things – 9 packets of drinks, 5 apples, 2 packets of rice, 6 slices of bread, 1 box of cake and 4 packets of biscuits – that I had to carry worsen my mood. =/ The journey to her hostel was definitely a torture. What to do? I am being a sweet and good sis, eh? =p Ha ha ha.

I ate my dinner with her and found some songs for my HP. I left there at about 5.40pm to travel to Illuma for ‘My Sister’s Keeper’ with Jet. Ha. Both of us were quite late but still in time to buy tickets and have to get into the cinema in 5minutes’ time.

It was a movie of how powerful love can be. This little girl was created (test-tube baby) to save her sis who was having leukaemia by donating blood substance (can’t find a better term to describe) to her sis and whenever she did, she would be in pain. Blah blah blah. Watch it yourselves! =D I wonder if something similar occurs in real life. Anyway, I tear a lot during the show. It has been quite some time since I last tear this much during a show.

After which, we headed to Orchard to get my black dress. The thought had been haunting me since Thursday when I saw it with Alex. I only bought their top as I thought that the design was really unique and I liked it immediately when I saw it. =D For the dress wise, I thought that I did not look as good as what Alex and the two staff described and could not find any reason/occasion wearing it. On the next day, I told two colleagues about it and they encouraged me to buy. On the very day, Alex tried to convince me by saying that I could wear it for dates, dinner, etc. When I saw sis, she encouraged me to buy by saying $29 is the usual/normal price for a dress. Anyway, before I bought it, I wore it for Jet to see and he thought I looked good too. Perhaps, I expect too much from myself therefore I thought I looked really ordinary in it. All right, I am still training hard for a better figure. =D

Jet brought me to ‘Toast Box’ at Wisma. Gosh. I liked it instantly especially when we were sitting next to the window where we could see part of the Orchard Road clearly. It was so beautiful with the Christmas decoration and rain. A really good place to chill out at, eh? ^^
