As soon as I got out of bed, I knew I had to make today a good day for me. It's a Sunday, a day where I should relax and soothe myself. Well, that couldn't exactly happen as I had to go to Tampines Mall(TM) to complete Chemistry TfU project with my groupmates in the afternoon, and also planned to settle problems as soon as I got up, which of course I did. With a bit of questioning and a whole lot of reassurance, I settled my prior problems. I won't dwell on them, but I will say that I don't want it to ever occur again. It really brings down a lot of my spirit, and its hard to breathe in that state. Never will I want to go back into that small, small vacuum of deceit.
On to the rest of my day, the part which I can share in detail at least, I left home for TM at 1400hrs. My grandparents were kind enough to send me there by car. I had to make my way back via public transport though, but I was okay with it. Had already gotten used to it, so it wasn't a big deal. I had to meet my groupmates 1500hrs in front of the Topman store at Tampines 1(T1), but I was already there at 1450hrs. Being early had been in my blood since young, so I lived up to my own standards. Aniq and Dion finally came at approximately 1455hrs, by difference of a few seconds. Jaryl though, called and said that he would be late by around ten minutes, so the three of us decided to buy a McFlurry each from McDonald's.
On the way, we saw a lady sitting on a wheelchair selling packets of tissues. We bought some from her, and treated it as a donation. She also gave us a little balloon with a small leaf sticking out from its mouth. Holding it in between my two fingers, I chuckled. We then carried on walking to McDonald's, when suddenly a man approached us. He shaked our hands, talked at the speed of which a bullet train would go and then asked us to donate to his organization. Yes, I was very reluctant, but I felt really helpless. It was as if he was pestering us to donate, and basically didn't give us a choice. Two dollars was all I gave, and I was pissed off about it. Immediately after, I swiftly walked off, with the two of them right behind me.
I grumbled on the way to McDonald's. All I wanted was a McFlurry, and I was harassed by some stranger. I'm still wondering now if the whole thing was a scam, but I guess its too late to cry over spilt milk. I just hope I have the courage to decline such an 'attack' the next time. After buying our ice-cream, we walked back to the entrance of the Topman store, carefully looking at every suspicious face and avoiding it. We really didn't want to be mauled by random people again. We met Jaryl, who was five minuntes late eventually, and moved off together to McDonald's at TM. (Yes, we are very much McDonald's hugest fans. :D)
We got a table for four as soon as we stepped into the restaurant. Luck or fate, I'll let you decide for yourself. We bought drinks, then started work. It was nice to be working with humourous people who knew their limit. We joked around, but still did our work properly. Its hard to find lads like them, which is why I appreciate them. If you're reading, thanks for the cooperation guys! We ended at 1730hrs, afterwhich Aniq and Jaryl went straight home, while Dion and I went window shopping in the area.
Now back home, I've just completed all my homework and am currently listening to 'Sorry Sorry' by Super Junior. Its a Korean song, but really catchy! I think I'm addicted to it! Haha. I'm also thinking about the day that lies ahead of me though. I wonder how it'll go, given that everyday is a surprise for me. I can never expect any expectations to come true. Well, I guess I'll be off now. Feeling sleepy already. Goodnight world!
I'll do anything to make this work. Just say the word and its done. I've said this before, I won't let you down. I mean it.
