The part on the taxi driver and wife will be near the end of this entry.
First, the day started out really sian. As some of you might know, I have self declared a 4 day school week since the start of this semester. Friday (today), being my “off day”, I had nothing much to do so it was pretty sian.
Later in the afternoon, I had to go to the tuition agency to get stuff. B4 I did that, I went to jurong library to look for books on carpet making, and also, did a 2 hour speed-shopping.
The carpet making book was for technical com, which has to be published in 2000 or later. Then of coz.. dun have~! Carpet making is not like TV making where the technology keep changing and ppl have to keep re-writing the process. Even so, which idiot company would go and write down every step of making the tv? … digressing, so the thing is, there’s no books on that.
After jurong, I headed to marina sq to do my speed-shopping. I manage to get a bottom from Dorothy Perkins~! The reason I’m so excited is becoz it’s really hard to find bottoms. Shall not write why over here, u ppl can figure that out. A little description of of the bottom kekeke à it’s a pair of dark blue jeans and it’s size 8~!!
Wahahhaha.. nah, I didn’t lose weight , it’s just that Dorethy’s clothes are somewhat sized smaller than they actually are. Size 8 is still a little big, so I asked for size 6, but they dun have. 8 was the smallest there. So I ended up taking size 8.
I went to Esprit too and one of the salesperson, surprisingly a male who doesnt seem sissy, asked me to pick a lucky draw. I got a 8% off card. Anyone who wants it can just let me know.
After that I went to the tuition agency to get stuff. Since it was at Stamford road, I tot it’s pretty near the main National library so I walked there.
The path to walk there was narrow and very near the road, so whenever cars passed by, the lose tar, dirt, whatever shit there is, got blew up and landed on my face. ß I know that because when I wiped my face with tissue later, the black stuff came out and my forehead became grayish. Thankfully it didn’t went in my eyes, heng ar…
K so I went to the library to look for the book. Went to b1, level 7 and 8 to find, but of coz, dun have la. They did have some books that talked about the manufacturing process of carpets, but it was really brief and were published way b4 2000.
O, when I was at the library, I was probably the noisiest person there. I was carrying 2 plastic bags, my heels were noisy… arghh… So pai sei.
As mentioned earlier, I went to 3 levels in total to search for that book. By the end of it, I was really really sian n tired. Somemore I got blisters on my feet already, so I was thinking whether I should take a cab, coz I thought it would be quite a distance to the mrt station. Then just when I was crossing the road, I saw a cab. My hand just lifted and flagged the cab down automatically. It just did it by itself~!! I had no choice but to board the taxi.
The sianest thing that happened rite after is that i realised.. the mrt station is not that far from the library~!!! Waste money`!!!
The driver keep smsing and picking calls also. I was afraid to get into an accident coz I haven’t bought insurance~!!! If I got into an accident… very very bo hua …
Then when the driver was free, we chatted. Duno why the topic slowly became about love. He was telling me about him and his wife… he’s a 50 year old plus Malay guy btw, but he looks quite young. I feel that Malay guys always look younger than Chinese guys when they’re around that age.
Suddenly his wife called, then he pass me his blue tooth ear piece for me to talk to her, So weird~!! I didn’t have anything to say~!!! Then the woman said, “love is blind” duno y la but she said that. Then there was a second or 2’s awkward moment of silence, so I ended it by saying, “I can tell u all love it other very much” ahhH~!! So lame`!! then I quickly say, “I pass the call back to ur husband”.
So weird rite~!! Anyway I was really heng, I got on the cab at around 4.59pm, so I didn’t have to pay $2 peak hour charge and $1 ERP.
When I reached my block, the driver wanted to charge me less, coz maybe I made his day, hah~! He really enjoyed the topic on love. But then I gave him more, coz I know taxi driver’s money is hard to earn.
