Thirty - Two
I'm back!
Normally I wouldn't be blogging immediately after returning home from an overseas trip because we usually come home at around 11 o'clock. But we came back to Singapore early this time, because, well, you can only shop so much. After 5 days of just buying things, we've seen pretty much everything. Which in a way is kind of sad.
But I had a lot of fun, and I bought a lot of cool stuff, which I won't really get into because I don't think it's of much interest, or most importantly, importance. Suffice to say that I really had a blast, and it was a rocking trip that I think a small part of me deserves. You know, because of the O Levels and all. I find that taking the Os can make you deserve all kinds of things.
If, however, you guys are feeling particularly detail-hungry or (most probably) bored, this is what I bought:
2 out of 3 LOTR books (yeah haha I couldn't find the first one);
2 shiny rings;
2 new outfits;
2 new bags;
1 Jason-Mraz-style hat (I just bought this today because I still had a lot of money left to burn. And I've always wanted to buy a hat);
Lots and lots and lots of Coffee Bean;
and other stuff.
Highlight of the whole trip: holding insects and a lizard in the Penang Butterfly Park, which I thought was boring but was absolutely not. I'm particularly buzzed about touching that cat gecko because, well, that's not something you do everyday. It felt cold, and smooth, but not hard like a snake. It kinda felt like liquid.
Awesome, man,
AWEsome.
(Ugh, um, it looks... really kinda gross here. But it wasn't. My mum says it has sexy eyes. After I had held it and given it back to the show presenter, she (the presenter, not my mum) casually added, "Oh, yes, and it can jump". Yeah. Let me hold it, and then you tell me. Nice.)
Still, I'm glad to be back home. Just shopping and walking day after day after day can really wear you down, especially when you stay up late to watch movies on cable which you would otherwise not be able to watch at home. I finally get to sit down in a wide, open space (you have no idea how cramped the car was) and do things like read draw and write; things I can't normally do in a moving vehicle. Absence truly makes the heart grow fonder - I missed Singapore.
I feel out-of-date though. Haven't been reading news or anything, so I don't quite know what's going on in this world, except for the fact that 'Alonso the Brat', as my Mum puts it, is quitting F1. And I'm not even sure I heard that right.
So, yeah. To celebrate the new month, and my coming back here, I've decided to put up this new template. It's currently my favourite because it didn't take long to make and turned out exactly the way I wanted it.
And that's about all that I can spew. For now.
Cheers y'all.
