I've been spotting white strands of late and I think that tells a lot about my mental stress this semester. I have to admit, it is probably the first semester I have broken down twice because of work and one that made me realise many things. Nevertheless, it is over. I think it was quite a crazy two days spent ever since I submitted my two last essays on Thursday. Let's see.
I caught Cold War with yl on Friday afternoon and truth be told, much as I didn't catch some parts, I really liked the movie. I enjoyed the intensity during the movie but most of all, I so love the cast!!! I believe there will be a sequel to this one and I guess I probably won't miss it! After movie yl and I carried out our favourite activity which was shopping. I probably went nuts that I spent quite a bit on materials. And then it was mahjong session at YH's. Chillax moments :)
At night I met Ohana for dinner and albeit a short session, I did enjoy myself a little. To add, I spent again, on a pair of shoes which I fancied at first sight. Yes, I should totally bang the wall yeah? Thereafter there was this really impromptu stayover whereby we gave up on Chucky and watched Phobia 4 instead. I thought the plot was pretty new and innovative. Then, we collapsed and woke up at ten this morning.
Today was perhaps one of the best. We started off with brunch at Hoagies. There were some hiccups somehow but okay, heck. Max and I craved for Belgium waffles and so we got ourselves three together with a green apple milk tea. And then Max and I, again, were getting pretty bored and we decided we wanted to go to Sentosa to suntan. When we reached Harbour Front, a deluge came. Max, Zhi and I ended up shopping instead. We passed by my favourite Toy Outpost and I chanced upon a set of X-Men Lego and an Avengers one! Shucks. We had two scoops of Awfully Chocolate first before proceeding to the endless stretch of clothes and shoes. I love walking in Uniqlo, seriously. Of course, it's the winter season so I didn't get myself anything. Actually I've always looked forward to shopping for winter clothings before I go to winter countries, the turtle necks, coats, gloves, scarfs, they are just so cute! I promise I was so tempted to get myself so many things just now but I had to resist because I have all that is necessary for my upcoming trip. More importantly, I don't have enough cash. And then I don't know how, we spent another 4 hours or so touring around the place. Our last stop before dinner was my favourite Doraemon shop. Freak. They actually sell Doraemon comforters. I've been looking for them actually but hardly any shops have them. However the last ten-dollar note lying in my wallet was mocking at my poverty, so yeah, dinner time. I think we were really crazy today because we actually had Orange Lantern for dinner (how extravagant). I had to confess, though, that the Vietamese cuisine was very much a deliacy, their vegetarian curry in particular.
We shopped for a while longer before meeting ZR at our all-time favourite market place for supper. Crazy, no? Glutton then. We shared two plates of Hokkien mee, one char kway tiao, one hotplate tofu, a bowl of pig organs soup, one fried omelette oyster without oyster and a plate of cheese fries. We never forgot about bitching about things before leaving.
What I want to say is not how much we ate today, even though we really ate A LOT. And I'm not trying to say what I got myself today because my shopping trip wasn't all so fruitful. I just want to say that in contrast to what I've been going through for the past one month at least, today was really a great day for me because I had allowed myself to relax a little and totally forget about my studies. I haven't forgotten that I have an exam this coming Saturday. I just thought I needed the release and I'm glad I've had it. My mum being on holidays was a plus point because it somehow granted me more freedom to stay out late. I actually don't ask for more of this within the next one or two months because I think it is short happiness like this that makes life more luxurious and worth living. I have enjoyed the talks and shops today. I wished I had more money so that I could get everything I want. But even when reality sinks in, I think being able to spend such quality time with my dear friends is already a fortune.
Thank you Maxie, Zhi and ZR for today :)
