Karma or just blessings from God? (part 1)
Well, today, 3rd May 2007, started off pretty early, around 6.38am. Which is ACTUALLY late coz I have aqua aerobics at 7am. I had to ‘jump’ out of bed, wash up & immediately head to the bus stop to catch my bus. Lucky for me, the bus didn’t take too long. Maybe some 8mins or so.
I went for my aqua without my usual early morning b’fast, which is my cup of HOrlicks w/ Nestum, courtesy of Nestle! =P (just felt like typing that).
So I while aqua-ing, I was getting hungrier. I kno I should never skip my early morning cup of Horlicks no matter what. It’s like my coffee for the morning. So after aqua, I swam 2 laps & I was out! Went to shower & went for b’fast. Last week I joined the ladies for b’fast but today they were 2mins faster than I was & left for b’fast without me. *sniff*
I didn’t mind so much. I went for my b’fast at the same place they went to coz they (the food court) had more variety than any other place at that hour of the morning, ie. 9am. I did want to join them coz it was fun hanging with them but then again their crowd was bigger today & I didn’t want to ‘invite’ myself since I JUST got to kno them. So I had my b’fast & went off to buy some stuff frm the supermarket at the interchange.
I was browsing around for almost an hour & didn’t realise it. Probably coz I was enjoying the air-cond. Hehe. Free air-cond, only at NTUC Fairprice. -_-" lol. After a many minutes walking around & counting the total of my "groceries" (coz I only brot with me 12 measely dollars & a heavy coin purse, I had to limit my purchases). In the end, I bot 2 softeners @ 1l each, and raisins. I find that raisins, which not only according to Azeemah’s belief, is good for health & brains. Well, actually memory. I still rmbr that day when we were doing our Primary 6 exams, PCE, Azeemah was eating raisins aka kismis. Till this day, I still rmbr it like it was yesterday.
When I got to the counter, I was making sure I didnt forget anything. I saw this lady who just popped by all fidgety. So I asked her, "are you in a hurry?" She hesitated to answer but since I was in a relaxing mood day, I let her go before me. She was thinking why is this girl so kind, or so it seemed from her body language towards me but my ’secret’ reason was that I wasn’t ready as my purse was still in my bag. She seemed really nice. She was like "thank you, thank you". I was like, urm…. u’re welcome. (which is my usual reply to TQs, but in my mind, I was like, it’s just a few mins difference. No biggie." After she left, the nice lady at the counter perked up my day even more. Since I bought 2 laundry softeners, she gave me free samples of this new brand from Myanmar. (we’ve used it before but it’s a bit more expensive so I refuse to buy it), she gave me 4! imagine that. Maybe it’s bcoz I bot softener but then again, she was very generous. I was happy when I left the store.
Then I went to the post office to post a letter to my Aunt. (we both live in Singapore but seldom meet coz we’re like, busy with our own stuff. Also, it’s coz if we meet, there’d be no end to our "short" meet. lol)
Then I got on the bus to go home. By then it was already 10.45am when I reached home. I decided to sew my umbrella. Silly ain’t it? Most people would buy a new one. I think this is the 1st time I’m sewing an umbrella(then again, I’ve never used an umbrella that often for that long anyway). The threads all came out. After sewing it, I kept getting this weird jolts of pain here & there. Was it something I touched on the umbrella? Weird…..
Anyway, after all the sewing, I was supposed to start studying/doing my hwk but I was so tired from the late night sleep & the early morning wake & the uncomfortable dream that I just had to get at least 40winks before I started on my hwk. So I took a nap, (or so I thot it would be one). I was asleep for almost 2hours! I woke up at 2.30pm! not coz I was hungry, but coz I felt recharged & ready to start my hwk. Also coz I heard my cousin come back from school. So I got up, went downstairs & saw my Granduncle preparing to cook something. I didn’t wana bother him when he was chopping fishcakes. That’s be scary. So I waited for him to finish & then I greeted him (by greeting him, I mean "KuKong." one word. short & simple & VERY chinese. lol). He looked at me, shocked that I was in the house & ask if I wanted to eat. I barely said yes coz I wasn’t THAT hungry. It was more of his eager to cook for me than it was for me to eat his cooking. lol. Grandparents. That’s what they’re like. They like to be wanted/needed. Heck! that’s what I’d want too.
He cooked, we ate. Not bad la. I don’t mind as long as it’s something I’m used to eating.
Btw, did I mention that I went to Botanical Gardens on Labour Day? It was fun! we got to see lots of Orchids at the Orchid Garden & we got to fool around, be ourselves & go wild with a little girl by the name of… wait, I can’t mention names. Darn. but she had a very nice & unique name. Anyway, that’s not really relevant to today’s story but I didn’t blog that day so I just thot of mentioning it. Come to think of it, I’ve not blogged in CENTURIES! lol.
On with my story…. (sorry for the "advertisement"!) =p
So I got dressed coz my uncle told me that we were going to watch Spiderman 3 today! yay! I tried to do some hwk before going. Did ONe measely question then went to shower. Went I came out, I was rushed to get ready to leave that I forgot to close my room windows…. I’ll get bitten by mosquitoes tonight. heh heh eh eh *sniff sniff* (laughter turn weep, in case u can’t tell..)
We arrived that at around 5.56pm, my watch, 5.55pm Boy-boy’s watch. lol. We’re in the digital world so Xcuse us for our accuracy in time. =P
We hung around for a bit. My cuz was hungry so we went around, looking for a foodcourt to eat. Then we gave up coz they were abt to seat us. So we bot nachos, claimed our free popcorn combo which consisted of popcorn (du-uh!) & a medium (kinda huge but not massively huge) Coke.
Here’s how the story goes, we arrived there, I thot they hadn’t bot the tickets yet. Then I thot that they had booked but hadn’t collected so I pointed my aunt to the collection counter. Turns out we were going for a private screening…. (just from the sound of it, sounds so "exclusive". I thot the same too) So I thot, wow, this is nice. We’re here for the Mazda Motor & HSBC private screening. It was amazing.
So after the amazing thots & views, (=p) we went to queue. Apparently it they wouldn’t let us in that early so we hung around for a few more minutes. When people started to Q, I joined in coz it was free seating & we wanted to get good seats. When I stood there, a min later, they flashed that they were ready to seat us. Cool huh? I thot so too. So I stood there & signalled my cuz & aunt that they’re about to seat us. The minute we passed the ticketing counter, my cousin rushed to the cinema hall to get "good" seats. Good as in, centre, not too far from the screen & not too near. He was just as excited as I was. We reached in, got our good seats & guess what? MY aunt decides to sit at the last row. Hmph. Now I’m not mad but if we were going to get last row seats, at least say so so we wouldn’t have made fools of ourselves. Initially, I didn’t wana move…
[oops... low batt. gotta continue another day. sorry!]
