I'd just reached home not long ago, from an evening out with Shuhui. We went to Junction 8, as she needed to exchange a top that I'd bought for her, as a birthday gift. Before meeting her, I'd went to a video shop, near J8 to pick up a set of VCDs and buy bubble tea. I'd bought Pearl Milk Tea, for Dilah, who works in a neighbouring pushcart and Strawberry Milk Tea for myself. I am quite glad to be able to find that drama serial. It is really too bad that I couldn't buy it, as I couldn't buy it anywhere else. I am only renting the VCDs. It is a Hong Kong drama serial, starring my favourite couple - Ekin Cheng and Nnadia Chan, - 蜀山奇侠之仙侣奇缘。
I'd searched high and low for this serial, to the extent of even leaving my contact number with shop assistants; asking them to check with their headquarters and to call me if they found it. Sadly, no one did. Ronny had said that his sister is watching that show and would lend it to me. He never did too. Lol. But, anyway, in the first place I'd never put my hope into him remembering it or putting this matter into his heart.
Thank God that Chun Mei, another person who is working in a neighbouring pushcart, has the contact number of that video shop. I'd mentioned to her about my wanting to drop by that shop to ask about that show. She'd then said that she used to patronise that video shop very frequently and has their contact number. Upon a call to that shop, we were told that, they have that particular serial. I was really happy to hear about it. But not really ecstatic. This show is one of my childhood favourites. Though, I still like the show very much, much of the magic has faded. This is probably because, compared to present day serials, with all the latest technology and computer graphics, this show isn't much. But frankly, this show, the storyline, acting, props and graphics are still able to stand alone, although truth be told, the computer graphics do pale in comparison.
I love this serial, because my favourite couple- Ekin and Nnadia are in it and the story is good. Yep...=)
After exchanging Shuhui's top, we shopped around. I'd bought a purple top from Bum Equipment. The last time I'd bought a top from them was when I was working in One.99 Shop. Actually, this is my 2nd top. I'd bought a pair of flower shaped wire earrings from 77th Street. We walked around level 2, going in from shop to shop, looking at shoes and clothes. My last purchase was an alarm clock from Mini Toons. After a dunk into a pail of dirty water, my handphone is never the same again. Currently, it is unable to show the contacts in my phonebook, unless I use the SIM card memory (I use the phone memory, as it is a little laggy when I use the SIM card memory). In addition, when I receive a SMS or when others call me, my handphone doesn't ring. It is acting like I'd put it in silent mode, which I didn't. With this new problem, I realised that the alarm clock doesn't work too. Which is BAD. Thus, I'd bought an alarm clock. Too bad that I wasn't able to find one with my favourite anime character. I settled for a cute pink clock, complete with bear face and ears sticking out. Lol.
On our way to Mini Toons, upon seeing the shop where people can go and have their photos taken, I suggested to her that we take some too. Surprisingly, she agreed. I'd thought that she'd refuse, as the last time we'd taken such photos, was in February, during our birthday celebration. It was quite fun! Ha..=p We both agreed that she'd be th one to decorate the photos. That is due to the fact that I don't work well under pressure and my artistic skills aren't up to par. Sob. Sob.
We went for dinner around 9pm, at Secret Recipe. We waited for almost 30 mins for our food to arrive. In addition, we were asked to order quickly as they would be closing soon. Which gave us little time to enjoy and finish our food. Our dinner came around 940pm or later. It isn't as good as I'd expected. Perhaps it is a little too much meat for me. We'd ordered the same dish, chicken chop stuffed with cheese and ham. I'd thought that it seems to be nice, while Shuhui had ordered it as it came reccommended in the I-Weekly. What a diasppointment. I really had to force myself to finish every bite of that chicken chop. A little overkill. Shuhui said that she wouldn't patronise their shops again. For me, I am still willing to give it a go, mainly because of the dessert. Haha..=p
Lol.
After dinner, we went to Mcdonald's to get some drinks. She ordered ice-lemon tea while I got my usual - lemon lime juice. We stayed and chatted till 1050pm, before making a move.
We parted ways at Sembawang MRT station. While Shuhui walked home, I took a bus and reached around 1145pm.
Switching on my laptop, I unpacked my purchases while waiting for the computer to start up. Once I was done, I went online and checked my mail. Seeing something interesting in yahoo, I stopped to check it out. The news is about a cheerleader, Kristi Yamaoka from Southern Illinois University, who fell 15 feet and injuring herself during a routine at a basketball game (http://articles.news.aol.com/sports/article.adp?id=20060305205609990018&cid=936).
This brings back memories about the time when I was crazy about Sweet Valley High books. My first SVH book is about Elizabeth Wakefield, an elder sister to her twin - Jessica Wakefield. That was the book that had me hooked for years. I'd read it, either when I was primary 6 or in my lower secondary days. That book belongs to my eldest sister. I suppose I'd found it after a trip to the store room. During those days, I often raided the store room for books; all belonging to my eldest sister, as I didn't go out much, had no computer to surf the net and had grown bored of the same old television programmes. Her books ranges from Enid Blyton to Nancy Drew and SVH. I like all of them. Nancy Drew, Enid Blyton, SVH, Harper Lee, Trixie Belden, The Secret Garden, Little Women, Chinese Legends and many more.
Aaa...the world of books, is simply marvellous!=)
My eldest sister and I, are like oil and water, we simply cannot get along, but ironically, we have quite a few things in common, our looks and our love for books.
