| 3 days (part2) |
Okay, so here's the second part of my entries for the previous 3 days.
09/05/07
I went driving during the lunch hour, and compared to the PREVIOUS session, it was a smooth sailing one. I'm quite thankful I didn't meet that previous instructor again. I swear I would have committed suicide in front of him if I had to go through another lesson with him.
After driving, I went to the Esplanade for my annual 'Arty-Farty Retreat'. I spent the whole afternoon in the Esplanade Library, reading books on film, theatre, music, and art. Even drew a few sketches on my sketchpad, tried to refine some drawing techniques and all. So it was quite a good afternoon, until I got a bit irritated with a couple of girls sitting beside me, who were talking so loudly, discussing some composition they had to write. So I decided to just go and have a cup of hot chocolate at the chocolate place downstairs.
After that went to explore Little India with Alice, Jinx and Zhiyong. The buggers didn't tell me that they changed the meeting place! So I ended up waiting at Farrer Park MRT for like half an hour. And they didn't even seem remorseful about it! Grrrrr. (I supposed they didn't even know that I was coming in the first place.)
Thank god for my sketchpad. I actually drew an interesting conceptual design for a character in my comic series while waiting for them.
Walked around Little India. Its quite an out of this world place to be in. It feels so different from the rest of Singapore, where it retains its own separate identity and life: everything there seems to be occurring at pace very different from that in normal Singapore.
You have vehicles and drivers who won't hesitate to knock you down, you have your interesting spice shops, garment shops, goldsmiths. It just feels different. Interesting place.
The three of them had dinner at some contemporary place which sells all kinds of vegetarian Indian cuisine. I don't exactly know what they ate, but I didn't eat anything cause well, I don't eat Indian food (because I can't take chili) and I had already eaten an Italian BMT from Subway prior to that. (this is called... FORESIGHT)
Anyway, they ordered too much and I had quite alot of fun gloating and watching them struggle through their meal, which was clearly intended to feed at least six people. Took lots of photos (and a 5 min video) of them in various states of discomfort, struggling to finish their food.
Oh I did order a drink called 'Lassi'. The waiter told me it was 'Butter Milk' so I thought I would give it a try. My first impression of the drink was that it was liquid cheese - really really strong liquid cheese. According to the rest, however, it was Yogurt. Which I didn't know, because... well, prior to that, I've never tasted Yogurt before.
But anyway, I couldn't stand it, so I gave it to the three of them. It was promptly thrown away with the rest of the left overs.
On an entirely different note:
Quarreled with my dad over the issue of the house. He shouted at me, said that I was rude (and admittedly, I was a tad bit rude to him) and I just ignored him and continued watching my TV show.
Think the house is gonna tear my family apart. But that would be such perfect soap-opera material, don't think I'm that fortunate (or unfortunate) to live such a life. Haha.
We'll see how it goes.Labels: friends, randomness, society |
