I must tell you everything that happened to me today. From morning till now. So many things I need to say. But they are like a lump of meshed up strings, waiting for me to sort out one by one.
Let me first say that today is a happening day for me. Not entirely happy as in hahaha, but whenever I look back on what happened, I can't suppress the smile that glides across my face:) So let me start the ball rolling, in chronological order:
As I was walking out of the hostel with yongyi I commented on the air being stuffy and humid. Later as we were approaching the bus stop, it started to drizzle. Drizzling at first, but when I woke up from my nap on the bus, I could not see at all what was outside! It was pouring more than cats and dogs. Rain splattered so hard against the window and created some sort of a curtain made of flowing water. I must say the view was truly beautiful. Aulia I'm sure you agree with me!
However, too much of a good thing has its flip side. The rain was way too heavy for us when we alighted at the school bus stop. Throughout the near to 100m dash from the bus stop to the school gate, I realized two things. ONE. Umbrella works best for demure girls under slight drizzle. TWO. A water-proof school bag is my best possession, at least when I need to brave through fierce storms.
Please, the rain was too heavy for any of our umbrellas! Brollies are only effective to shelter your hair but not your body. And a strong gush of wind blew all the raindrops onto our backs and butts and legs. Not forgetting into my shoes as well. The entire road was flooded, so theoretically nobody could reach the school without soaking our feets in muddy water. Yucks right! And here came another gush of wind, and off my umbrella went, to the left! So Kaigai and me had to dash into the school, through yet another pool of muddy water right in front of the gate. WOW. Demure brollies are such GREAT invention. We were drenched. I guess next time I shall come up with a body-length umbrella. Maximum protection, like what people say.
And I shall not mention drying our clothes in the toilet with the hand dryer. Totally amusing if you ever saw it.
There was a relief GP tutor today because our tutor went for reservice. I quite like her (relief tutor), and for once I actually listened with ears up during GP! It was so informative. Both Szeying and I couldn't help but to agree that she really LOOKS like she's from another era because of her dress/skirt/clothes today. It wasn't anything sacarstic la. But the way she taught really lived up to her duty - an English/GP tutor. I like the way she subtly attracts our attention, the way she did not bother to raise her voice to compete with the rising noice level, but in the end she always won the noise competition in the room. Everybody will eventually listen to her. I know it's abit weird to say so, but I think sometimes it's her charm. Don't you think? Her cool just made me fix my eyes on her, and at times I begin to understand what's meant by the phrase 'age gracefully'. Another woman whom I think is always beautiful is Mrs Than. But most unfortunately I dozed off during her lecture today because I was too sleepy.
Then the highlight! As we were walking out of the school gate, I felt somebody stepping on my shoe from behind. One second later, there was a tearing sound. I looked at my right foot, just to find that it had a mouth wide open. And of course I stared with mouth wide open too. So thanks to Suzzy who unintentionally tore my shoe, I got myself another pair. In desperation, of course. I dragged my right foot all the way back to the hostel and to my room, bathed, and quickly went to Suntec after my dinner. I did not have the 'moment' when I was browsing for new shoes this time. So in the end I chose the most comfortable pair and paid for it. Ironically, I chose Nike, the brand I dislike the most. Hahaha.
Grocery shopping in Carrefour was intended to be short and swift. I got what I wanted and rushed off to the bus stop. Just when I was crossing the overhead bridge, I suddenly decided to take a look at the stuffs I bought today. And ARGH! It was only then I realized I forgot to take my shampoo! With a slight groan I made a U-turn and walked the same route back to Carrefour. When I finally reached the counters, there were so many of them that I suddenly forgot which cashier I paid my items at! OMG. I was totally stunned at my stupidity, and took the unglam way out - asked another cashier for help. I explained my situation and alas! I got my shampoo back!
And I begin to wonder if I suffered from concussion or something.

Who say shopping is a form of indulgence? It's a form of workout I tell you! You work you arm muscles by carrying bags full of items. You work your heart because it keeps pumping to drive you to more shops in front. You work your leg muscles because they keep contracting and relaxing so that you can cover more distances.
Therefore, shop more, people!! It's a more enjoyable form of workoutXD
For those who fear their wallet losing too much weight, no worries! I'm here and I can help 'take care' of your wallets...
I'm SURE they will be fine with me.... HAHAHA!
