Saturday

saturday was a long day.

despite the fact that i slept at 1am the night before, i woke up early into 8 o'clock. Turned on the computer, noted down the stuff i had to do on notepad (which was previously scribbled on 4 small pieces of paper back in camp). The usual stuff on a weekend morning (ie computer and internet, breakfast with mum, piano, television, newspapers) took me to 11am faster than i would have liked it to. hmm actually for us life-deprived NSFs, we sometimes wish time stops for us on weekends...then again, if time stops, how to run our schedules?

(oh boy this is turning into a boring events log for the day)
was watching Air Crash Investigation when my mum got me off the couch and into the car to Parkway Parade where i would get part of my million things done. They were: getting a haircut, go to hardware shop and bookshop to look for stuff required for the circuit fabrication process project, going to Giant hypermarket to get many cups of cup noodles to pay back the amount i ate last week in bunk.

And then we had our lunch at the basement food court.

And we went home, and i was supposed to leave for raffles place at 2pm to once again search for stuff i needed for the circuit fab project in Meng's Store, before making my way down to City Hall MRT. But i took a nap which lasted a tad too long, and so my mum brought me straight to city hall where i met Zi Jian and we were supposed to walk to the Starbucks at Suntec and meet up with Dequan. For a good conversation together. But this didn't happen due to the Comex and the huge crowd it created. Instead we spent some time walking ard the exhibition, and had a look at the food fair too, where we met Dequan instead. Then more walking. And i picked up some leaflets at Apple's booth and have since gotten so smitten by the iBook that i have decided to get it. Seriously. Then we went to Mac's for a drink and some fries, and after some talk abt the military, we left. I wished we could have dinner together, but Zijian had a class gathering and Dequan was going to have dinner with his family. So i went about town all alone.

went to HMV, looked for some CDs...remembered this Virgin Classics CD compilation of Mozart Piano Sonatas. Couldn't find it. Went to Esplanade Library, got some stuff, went to Meng's Store at Raffles Place but found it closed, then went to Taka, had dinner at Mac's (ate McSpicy Double, a meal that brings forth nostalgia and many painful memories of the times at VJC robotics) and then got Kueh Lapis for mum, then went to Cold Storage to look for the circuit fab stuff (later it turned out that the contact adhesive was not suitable after testing at home later at night) then went to HMV at the Heeren (wow i actually found my way there, by a stroke of luck. i never knew where it exactly was along Orchard (if it really was along Orchard Rd) just followed my friends blindly in the past) That was where i saw the CD compilation, selling for $20+ great deal but i didn't buy it then when it was on clearance or sth...was placed in this box with a mish-mash of other classical CDs(last yr i think). Now its gone, and i can't find it. Tried Borders, but the place was messy, couldn't find it...though one CD had some sonatas on it, thankfully the digital sampling showed it was a bad performance...in my humble opinion. I didn't like that interpretation.

Left at 11+, returned home at 12. Slept at 2.

T'was a long and lonely day...
