Yesterday I was out with Karen and the both of us declared the day
Reading Day. We packed some reading materials, left home, and planted our asses into the very plushy and comfy chairs at the chic Pacific Coffee Company cafe situated somewhere above Citylink.
I got through quite a bit of
Tokyo Cancelled. And Karen had the guts to remind me that I hadn't finished
Memoirs of a Geisha. I finally admitted that I'd given up on that, because the print was too fine and the I'd already seen the movie.
Tokyo Cancelled is basically about these travellers who have been stranded at this airport because of bad weather conditions and a delayed flight. They then engage in a very meaningful story-telling session, and tales from every corner of the world were exchanged.
Try the Mocha Brownie drink at the Pacific Coffee place. It's really good (:
I've to head to school later, to buy my new uniforms and also for some Atlas house meeting thing. Or maybe I won't go for the house meeting at all. Depends on my mood. Well, I might go out of sympathy for the pathetic state of Atlas house.
And then I'd be cutting my hair tomorrow! Yeay! I like short hair! Yeay! And then after that Karen and I are going to catch
Paris Je T'aime in town. Looking forward to it! Natalie Portman!
I suddenly really want to go to Bangkok for a shopping spree. And it's because all my favourite
FeelGood tees have expired. Yes, they have started to fail me. That's why you don't see me wearing them out anymore. It's really so sad because they are deemed unwearable right now. I want to get new ones!
I can't wait for the arrival of our new Canon camera too! We bought it at the IT fair last Sunday and because it was sold out, we had to make orders. Its 7.1 megapixels and it's got a gloosy big screen! I loike. :D But the wait would be three-weeks-long.
I've to wait three weeks for the arrival of the new leather strap for my Fossil watch too. They have to ship it from the states. I don't know why also. But it's entirely troublesome and I have to wait three long weeks just for a stupid leather strap which doesn't stink as badly as the one I have now. And I've to pay for it, that's the saddest part. Don't they have like free leather strap replacements for their watches? I mean, don't they expect consumers to complain about disgusting, smelly, sweat-soaked watch straps?
You see, life's all about waiting. And I really detest waiting. I think waiting itself probably takes up about 1/3 of one's precious lifespan. When we're babies, we wait to be fed, we wait to be brought to poop, we wait to grow up. When we enter the teenage years, we wait for exams to be over and done with, then we wait for the dreaded results, we wait for things like Canon digicams and Fossil leather straps to arrive, we wait to become adults. When we eventually become adults, we wait for jobs and advancements, we wait for the right partner, we wait for our own babies to be born, we wait for age to catch up and hope that it's gonna be graceful. And then when we become old and wrinkly, we wait for death.
Isn't it so dreadful that we've got to wait for almost everything. And we're supposed to learn to be patient while we're at it. Patience is a virtue, they say. I beg to differ. Patience is overrated; we've got no time to wait anymore.
I am actually very sick and tired of waiting for buses! I read somewhere just a few days ago that by July this year, the authorities are going to install this new system at bus stops and it'd tell us when the next bus is arriving and stuff. I mean, this isn't going to shorten the waiting time for us impatient commuters, but I'm sure it'd make waiting a less painful experience.
Okay, I should move on... Recently, I've been like thinking of getting a
Holga camera for myself. But I'm going to have to save up for it. And then there are so many variations that I don't know which to get! Go see, it's all
here. I think I'll get the easier-to-use, <$70 ones to play around with first. I am rather excited about getting it.
Wow.. I've actually blogged quite a bit about many many random things here. And to think that I felt like there was nothing to blog before I actually started. Or maybe it's because I am feeling unusually chatty this early Thursday morning. It's gonna be 2am soon but I don't think I'd be sleeping yet. Been rather nocturnal, and it's becoming common to hear my complaints about being tired during the daytime.
Okay, I shall leave you here. Goodbye.
