Spring Cleaning Time
Time check: 2.46pm. Great, I just woke up. There goes my spring cleaning plans for the morning! If time could just come to a standstill.. *borrows a timeturner* I hate racing with time, cuz you will always lose. Its so futile. Anyway, spring cleaning is a term that does not exist in my vocabulary, possibly why my room resembles a pig sty that hasn't been washed for a few centuries. Kexin was comtemplating the possibilities of coming over to my house to play Maple. As I nodded away happily, I was panicking like mad inside. Sorry girl, remember the state of my room few months back when you came over? Imagine the same thing, except 10 times messier. Thats the state it is in now. I haven't got the time, or more like, haven't got the mood to pack my stuff ever since the examinations ended. Ya I'm bloody lazy. Look on the right under "Things I dislike". See the word "Sloth"? That, was meant for myself, I hate this aspect about myself but there is nothing I can do without the correct motivation.
Went downtown after the library chat session to get some stuff for someone. On my way there, SOMEONE called and asked me if I wanted to watch a free movie. I snapped up the offer at once and rushed down from Great World City to Shaw Tower. I caught bus 16 when I realised that this bus could go direct to Shaw Tower! As I happily patted my imaginary back, my joy turned to sorrow when I realised that the stupid bus was travelling in the opposite direction. No choice but to execute Plan B, that was to take an MRT to Bugis and run like a madwoman down Tan Quee Lan Street to Shaw Tower. Almost got knocked down by a few cars who honked like anything at me. Hey, blame the LTA for placing the traffic lights so far away from where I am!
Reached the place in one piece or two, if you wanna count my bag and I as separate entities. Kexin and Jan were waiting at Starbucks already. I bought a regular popcorn coke combo before entering this massive cinema with a screen that was too small compared to the capacity. Nonetheless, we sat down and started on the popcorn. I ordered a mix of sweet and salted popcorn as Jan liked salted and I liked sweet. Somehow I kept getting the salty ones, which were, true to their word, really bloody salty. Jan on the other hand, kept getting the sweet ones. We were both complaining about the stupid popcorn when I suggested that since we kept getting what we didn't want, we should exchange. So Jan handed me one that he picked out. It was SALTY. ARGH! Stop fooling around, god! I gave up my elusive search for the sweet popcorn soon after and concentrated on the movie instead.
The movie we watch was 2 become 1, a chinese movie featuring Richie Ren and Miriam Yeung. The movie was a lighthearted comedy with an underlying message about breast cancer, breast size, and all other things to do with the female mammary glands. Being a typical Hongkong production, it had the usual stereotypical storyline, which was tolerable at best. The movie was probably originally in Cantonese and dubbed in Mandarin as Richie Ren 'spoke' Mandarin in this ABC accent. (ABC stands for American Born Chinese btw) An enjoyable movie overall, but I wouldn't pay $9.50 to watch it on a weekend.
Went home to catch 大长今 on Channel U. Missed America's Next Top Model as I couldn't be bothered to watch it anymore. Sean called as usual around 10.30pm. I'm glad that he is happier now, but somehow I'm afraid I don't know how long this kind of happiness lasts or even still, what is the reason for this. I was walking home from Tiong Bahru MRT and on the way home, I really wondered, is happiness such a complicated concept that some people can't find it, no matter how hard they look? I believe that contentment is a sort of happiness, I believe that love will find you if you are not looking too hard for it. I guess its the way chance works. The more you try to look for it, the more it hides from you. At least if I don't expect anything, andif I do get something in return, it will be nice surprise. Learning to let go of everything to gain happiness. Such an abstract concept? I won't pretend that I'm happy, but at least I am not sad. Or am I?
;I CREATED A SHEEP!
