Of the little things in life that amuse me
I cleared my study desk (OH FINALLY) and left the hse by around 5pm. As usual, when I'm alone outside, I like to 耍自闭. With my cap and my MP3 in full blast, I was in a world of my own :)
I alighted at Bugis, thinking maybe I should walk around to see what little gifts I could get for the exchange session. But stomach was growling, and I recalled I didn't ate anything besides breakfast -_-, and decide maybe I should eat first before going for the prezzie hunt.
I head out to Mos Burger (omg, like again -_-), found a damn corner seat, sat down with my book and waited for my meal. I ate slowly, concentrating more on my book (btw, it's 爱过，更要好好过 by 吴淡如. Love her books, but have no idea why I need to read it..ahhaha). Before I knew it, 1.5 hrs passed and I realised I haven't got my gifts -_-. I head out and realised I walked out of Mos in the wrong direction and I ended up outside the Central Library -_-.
Heck, since I'm here, might as well go in. Hahaha.
It was like back as a child, when my parents would always bring us to the Library on Sundays. I recalled when I was 7 and my mum was reading to me some Chinese Poems Collection, she told me:"YuHui, you must love to read. Because your wealth can be lost, your status can be taken away, but your knowledge, once yours, will always be yours. No one can steal it from you". Such an enlightening statement. Till this day, it drives me to learn and read more. Thanks Ma for that :)
I zoomed around the familiar categories looking for new books on shelf.
*LITTLE THING #1: LAUGHING TO MYSELF
I was walking along the shelves and glad to find what I wanna find: Thrillers Shelf. Then this song came up (Usually I don't follow the song list because I have this habit of laughing out loud to myself if it's a funny song -_-. So to avoid that, I usually choose every song individually. But when I'm lazy or simply busy with something else, I just let the songs run):
女孩别为我哭泣 - 黄俊郎(Song from Jay Chou's movie - Secret)
I let off a small laugh. Only to realize I am in the quiet Library -_-. I glanced sideways and realize one couple sitting at a corner was staring at me. Must have disturbed their mini PDA(Public Display of Affection)session. Heck they were wrong to be doing such things in the library anyway. I shouldn't feel paiseh..hahaha *stick tongue out*
*LITTLE THING #2: COMPLIMENTS
I was looking through more books when a China girl approached me and asked me where I got my cap -_-. Hey I know I carry off the cap well..hahahah..just joking -_-. I told her it was from Esprit and she went off. Actually I was keen to continue a conversation with her la, but given that it's a library and I can't chat freely, I decided to give it a go.
*LITTLE THING #3: COOL KEYBOARD
Wanted to find some finance books and then found this keyboard at one of the information station:
With Indian words! Cool! I actually let out a small laugh! Hahaha
Realized it was already 8pm *gasp!* and was still without presents -_-, I grabbed a Stephen King book (I am giving this author the 5th chance. I nv finish his books..ahhaa) and a Sheldon Siegel. No new Sidney Sheldon books. Argh. I want my Sidney Sheldon! And I still don't understand why Shaun said it's literature porn -_-. I never thought it that way leh. Must be because it's all in the mind >.< Hahaha
*LITTLE THING #4: THAT CUTE GUY AGAIN
When I was about to leave the library, the corner of my eye caught a tall figure in white shirt, white pants and white cap. *Feels familiar* So I turned over and look. *Gasp!* The cute guy I saw on the train 2 weeks ago!
(2 weeks ago) We got on the train in Bugis. I remembered he was standing opposite me in the train and he was in a cap also. He was very engrossed in his book. But man, he got very nice sharp features. His nose reminds me of Wu Zun. I remember the girls around me were all whispering about the guy in white cap. Hahaha. He looked up when the operator announced "Kallang" and I went "Gorgeous...." inside. Hahahaha. And darn, he got off too fast. Hahahah. Such a great motivation to go Central Library more. But then again, I think Bedok Library has more books.
I dashed off back to Bugis to see what I could get for the exchange gifts session. Found some cute and practical small stuff. Queue to pay was wayyyyy too long, so I shall buy them tmr :)
*LITTLE THING #5: OBSERVING PEOPLE ON THE TRAIN
I like to observe people. I dunno why. Sometimes when I look at someone, I like to cook up stories about that person. Hahahaha. Like family background, education, occupation, personality, where he/she is going. Maybe Mingkeat is right in saying I shouldn't do banking jobs, I should write scripts coz I have such good imagination. Erm, I like to imagine that is a compliment. Hahahaha.
I realize a lot of girls are wearing knee-length socks now. Is that an ongoing trend or is it simply the weather?
I remember those Japanese bubble socks days back in secondary school lo. I remember wearing it to my aunt's wedding in a hotel in Orchard. I was in those preppy kinda clothes, I think was shirt with short skirt, knee length bubble socks and those very Japanese kinda black girlie shoes (that was supposed to go with the white bubble socks). I recalled it was the "in" outfit of that era (sounds old). But then, after being stopped by some stupid uncle with a "Hey girl, you look familiar." and had me practically running to the hotel (doesn't help that I am running into a hotel -_-), I swore never to wear such things again.
But some girls match their socks in such weird manners it sent me laughing inside. Like white socks and black heels? omg. Where's the fashion police?
Okay, shall go offline soon so I can read the new books I borrowed. I borrowed another 4 from Bedok Library, which makes 8 in total. I had so many books on me that I was dropping one every now and then. Drop, bend over pick up, drop another -_-. I think if it wasn't for those books, I probably would have got home faster. Hahaha.
Shall end off the entry with:
Wu Zun and his new gym! Hahaha.
Yea la, Wu Zun again -_-. Hahahaha
And for the guys:
My favourite 33 year old *gasp!* Taiwanese model: Lin Chi Ling!
Quote of the day: "You must love to read. Because your wealth can be lost, your status can be taken away, but your knowledge will always be yours. It's an asset that will never be lost." - My mum. Hahaha
