I went on an adventure today.
Set off from home early, but reached school early enough. Ty just ended his morning assembly, and safely snuck out. I'm happy at this point, to actually manage to get Ty to agree to go on this particular adventure with me. Yes, with me, only.
I can totally provide you with a reason for only choosing him to come along with me, besides the more obvious but choose-to-be subtle point. I'm LAZY to find another person, and because Ty is the other chief in this. Actually, to me, he IS the chief, the Prince, whatever you want to call it. As for me, I just do what I can to make him happy.
Took 151 from school bus stop. We were discussing as to which bus to take, when I said, "The bus guide says 151." And the bus 151 drove past us. So we were having sweatdrops on our heads then. Waited for the next bus. Passed by a few familiar places, and we were supposed to alight opposite King Albert's Park, but we totally missed it because we didn't count the stops. The funny thing is that, Ty was telling me about how he used to go to the optic shop at a particular building/shopping center, and that was where we were supposed to go to. But we didn't alight because we didn't know that place was indeed our final destination, until much later.
So we went three stops down, and then 3 stops back up. Alighted at King Albert's Park. Ty was hungry so we went to the MacDonald's Plaza to have breakfast. It's a very cool/posh Macs Restaurant, huge, spacey, and two levels! They even have drive-thru! Ordered our meals, when I noticed that there was a police car using the drive-thru, haha!
Oh yes, before we ate, we met this China Auntie along our very short walk to Macs Plaza. She couldn't get a cab and she was running late. That was because she was standing at a very impossible spot, so we told her to walk all the way up some more. Went 1 bus stop back, and we decided to wait with her for a cab. It was during peak hours so it was really a tough wait. But we got lucky and I managed to flag one down for her! Too bad, the driver was Indian, and the Auntie was cheena. So we had to translate for her as well. It was worth the wait though, because she was really really grateful afterwards.
And it felt really good for us to help someone in need of help. I guess this is the first... time I'm having this sort of experience with Ty.
At the point, we still didn't know where the BTP building is. So I decided to check the maps on my phone's GPS. We stupidly realised that it was diagonally across Macs Plaza. Felt so diaoz.
Slacked for a little while, talked much about Patapon as we made our way towards BTP. Almost all the shops were closed. And WTS was just about half open, so we decided not to be mean and blast them on such a nice morning. Went to Fairprice (finest) to walk around a little. Was wondering why they added a 'finest' at the back, and we realised, oh, that they really put in much effort to arrange their items neatly and all. Couldn't find the sushi place in it. So much for finest.
Went up one level to look for supposed drinks. But we totally forgot about it because I saw the baking section and was drawn to it. So Ty tagged along. Found baking chocolate! But didn't buy it because I didn't feel like getting it then. He started reading the can label of some canned cherries and exclaimed a little while later that it doesn't make sense.
I read it once but found nothing wrong with it, until Ty pointed out several areas of contradiction. And I felt so noob coz I couldn't even realise them! Sigh, a Literature student is a Literature student. I failed my Lit.
After a little while we went back up to WTS, when they were finally fully open. Stepped in, and there were no customers at all so I guess we are the first! Looked for Ms Eve Yeo, who turns out to be the out sitting at the corner. Well, she was really nice and the discussion went well. Got the price down, and the plan customised. Now I need to gather information.
Didn't talk for a very long time, then we decided to head back to school.
Sat in the library until lunch time came. Then Aaron brought us to NUS for lunch. Ate the regular. But it was really warm there. Saw Ms Koh Li Ling!!! Yays!
And then we headed back, to the library. I played games, Ty played his (actually, mine)... And they suddenly got interested in Cooking Mama. Haha!
After that was Bio prep class.... I slept through part of it. Managed to answer the questions though, and did not fail it, lol.
Headed back home with the gang, all the way to Pasir Ris. And a nice bus down all the way home.
Tired, really.
But I really loved today!
