Week That Was
One week home - one week full of adventure and fun and reminisences and bright, cloudless skies, and needless to mention, hot afternoons and traffic jams.
I stayed at home for my first 2 days back, no comments on that. On the second day it got quite bored I jumped into a minibus to go to BJ complex. It was a rather stupid decision of course. Aside a 4-inch by 4-inch Giordano and 3-inch by 7-inch area diaplaying outdated Camel outfits, BJ complex are so filled with junks I could buy nothing literally except my facewash and pore pack from Guardian.
On Friday I woke up tingling with excitement, at 7. I drove all the way, alone, in a manual transmission to school, to be welcomed by a passing crowd consisting of Chun Chiat and Ling Wei. Fortunately, at the very last moment, Ling Wei turned his head backwards and spotted me - so my arrival at school spread like wildfire. Of course, my talkative self had already told Tham Min about my probable visit to school. Mum messaged me as soon as I step into the teachers’ office - say hello to the teachers first before meeting your classmates.
In reality, the ‘hello’ lasted longer than the meeting with my friends. I ended up chatting with lots of teachers before managing to find my way back to the 6th Form block. I have to say the current model of classrooms - enclosed ‘cages’ with air conditioning is rather unwelcoming than the old birdcages. At least we can pass winks and even homework and textbooks through open windows. It was quite unfortunate as there aren’t many classes with free periods around that time. And one 1-hour free period was robbed by Mrs. Sim to teach chromatography. Anyway, it was an enjoyable time seeing all those good o’l classmates and hearing people praising my slim figure (avoids trashing).
That very evening I made my 3rd trip to McDonalds since I’m back (for less than a week). It was all Soon Khen’s cutting-expenditure exercises that brought us there.
On Saturday I went to Gurney way too early, and end up spending a lot on a Yonex racquet there. Anyway, for a lazy Penangnite like me, Gurney is still the best place to be - short distances between shops, centrally located, cheap parkings during weekdays, and less M’s around.
On Sunday I paid my second visit to Queensbay. Perhaps it’s because Mum’s accompanying this time (so she’s paying), and I’ve had a better idea of its ridiculous architecture, it was a pleasure strolling around for my new year clothes.
I woke up at 6 today to catch Dad’s car downtown - with the ultimate goal of applying a supplementary MasterCard in the afternoons. I certainly need more sleep in the next few days - I literally slept through the late mornings and early afternoons. It’s getting harder for conservative people like me to choose frames for glasses, and it costs so much more for conservative designs nowadays. So please, Mok Zi Yi-lookalike, stop buying thick frame glasses if you’re not made for wearing thick-framed glasses.
And I paid another visit to McD again. Midlands is in the edge of becoming a nest for drug addicts.
