daze -- i ramble
today
i went walking around on my own.
i took the train to town, but without a specific destination in mind. on the train i tried to read a book, but i was distracted by the need to decide on a destination of disembarkation. i decided to alight at orchard, because i know there's a post office at taka and i can pay my bill there. but somehow i was in such a daze that i missed the stop. so i alighted at somerset. and i walked back to taka and up to the post office. i was not in any particular hurry anyway. i decided i had plenty of time before i should appear at the office at HAS, since it was nearing lunchtime, and perhaps they'll all be out for lunch anyway. so i crossed the road from taka and went to heeren. went up to the top floors thinking that i should get a new hairclip, but i didn't find any that i liked. the crepe shop is gone. went back down, walked out of the building, then suddenly decided i should go HMV to see if they have the dvd i want. so i did an about-turn and went back into the building. well they didn't have what i want anyway. i walked back down towards somerset and then PS. by then it was so hot i decided i wouldn't make it to HAS before i became a smelly mess so i took a bus for the remainder of the journey to city hall. bus 16. alighted at raffles hotel and walked down beach road towards HAS. did what i went there to do and walked back towards city hall. went underground. the crepe shop is gone. looked at some slippers. walked all the way without seeing anything else and almost missed the turn to go to the esplanade. well. the tunnel has some new and interesting installations. went up to the concourse level, looked around a bit, regretted not bringing the camera out, because the sky was a most perculiar colour. unreal. and nice. walked through the mall. decided i like the flower shop there. went out to the bus stop. took 75. destination holland v. never took 75 before. it has an interesting route. i had no idea that raffles place was so near outram was so near tiong bahru was so near great world city was so near tanglin was so near holland v. well perhaps i did. just that i've never taken this route before. reached holland v when it started to drizzle. decided i like the flower shop there. went to bead shop bought some stuff. after bead shop went burger king to have lunch and read book. after that crossed the overhead bridge and took 165 back to ang mo kio. i had plenty of time. went to the craft shop at amk central and bought some wire. i had plenty of time. went to the bus stop where i was to take my next bus. decided it was too early to take the bus. so i sat there to read. for about half an hour. then i took the bus. surprisingly the bus was quite fast today and i reached early. i had plenty of time. so i sat on a bench somewhere near the river and continued reading my book. from where i sat i couldn't see the rubbish in the water. i read for about an hour, before i got up and crossed the road and walked to the block of flats and took the lift up to the 9th storey to give tuition. after tuition his dad gave me a ride out to the bus stop. it was the first time; he happened to be going out. i missed my bus. so i took another bus back. went to 7-11 to buy bread before going home.
enough.
