installing...

I rushed home to want to download aMei's new album on iTunes but when I clicked on my shortcut, it told me that my version of iTunes needed updates and so I allowed it to update. And then it started installing the new updates but it is taking forever so I decided I will type something down now while waiting. 

It is Wednesday. And I have always loved Wednesdays. So technically speaking today is supposed to be a good one. By using the word "supposed" I am not trying to imply that the day turned out bad. The past few days just haven't been too good, and I am trying to get over that melancholy. After my two classes in Serangoon it was already 8pm. I didn't exactly want to head for home but I so badly wanted to get out of the train station. Is it becoming colder these days? I doubt anyone is going to agree with me on this because everyone else is complaining about the recent blazing sun. Perhaps it was the Circle Line. Or figuratively speaking it was a cold heart that needed to be warmed. I was shivering in the train and this teenage boy was looking at me, confused. He probably didn't understand why anyone would shiver in the train especially with the humid weather today. I got out at Holland V. I like Holland V in the night. V once said something like the place was like a library of stories of different people (who went there to club). I wondered if I was one of those and if mine made sense. Because I have always thought my story was a twisted one. I headed for the magazines vendor. And got my zaobao because M had informed me that AhWU was featured in it. It has been a while. I miss reading articles on AhWU and I recalled how reading anything about him during college days would easily make my day. Then I decided to wait for the sister because she was having lesson nearby and was ending soon. Fifteen minutes, I was told. So I walked to the bus stop and read my book. I was trying to slow down because I didn't like the thought of finishing a good book and then not knowing what else to read after finishing it. I ended up sitting at the bus stop for forty minutes. I wondered if people actually read books at bus stops. It can be quite conducive. If you are engrossed enough. The Starbucks nearby was actually very enticing but I refrained, because I haven't had my soyed latte for two weeks and I wanted to maintain that. A part of me thought I needed to save up because I am going to spend quite a bit this month. A bigger part of me, knew that drink wasn't going to help me anymore. It is all in the mind. Or so I told myself. But maybe, just maybe, I will get a grande next week. I think I will need that next week. 

So anyway, the sis came and I hopped onto the bus she was on. In all honesty, the main reason why I would wait for her that long was because I didn't like going home alone these days. But it was not like I would talk to her on the bus. I just needed her company. Someone familiar and trustworthy. On our way home, she dozed off for a while. And I smiled to myself when we were nearing home. Because I thought of the two people whom I dined with last night. Then I thought Wednesday was good after all.

My iTunes is done installing new updates. But guess what? iTunes store is facing a technical issue and it tells me to try again later.
