on the other hand, i experienced the most most embarassing moment yesterday! i think i can say it will be my most embarassing moment and probably painful moment of the year. i was the last one to alight from the bus as it stopped a few distance away from the bus stop. i rememeber vividly tapping my card onto the reader and the next thing i knew, i was on the ground, with both of my hands on the ground while my poor feet had hit the concrete side of the pavement there. gosh, i think i must have lost my balance or missed a step. i don't know why i can't recall, i've got stml! so anyway, poor me. i quickly crawled my legs from the roadside there, fearing that the wheels of the bus would crush my feet into pulp. i think i must have looked dumb dumb crawling there. HAHA! but legs hurt like crap okay, they were shaking as i tried to stand up. good thing i had an extra plaster with me, it came in handy for my wound. stupid lah! why am i always so clumsy, always falling down?!
earlier in the morning, we had our flag day. it wasn't as bad as i had thought. i had imagined myself standing there, desperately holding out my tin. but instead, i realised that singaporeans are generous. but of course, i knew that long ago. but i initially thought no one would bother to stop by and donate. there was this guy who donated $10, and a mother gave her each of her kids with lots of coins and another woman looked like she felt bad for not donating as she walked past me a while later, she came back and dropped in a few coins. so nice of them right?
while they were some nice people, there were some who just smiled if they didnt donate and those i didnt like, they look at you for a second and after looking at the tin i was holding, he pretended i was transparent. smile was the least you could do lah! then got this funny and weird guy, i asked him for donations, and he answered back " eee! NKF! dont want dont want, bluff people one!''. haha! i guess he didnt see the label on my tin or he's too involve in the NKF case.
we girls met up in macs in the morning to have our breakfast, then we split up. i was with prawny, at first we didnt know where to go. until finally she decided she want to rest at the cool shade at the burlington square there. i was bored just sitting down there, so i merely did my job and asked for donations. it was great actually, and i enjoyed it! baba joined us too.
after we finished, returned the tins back and waited for beth & audrey with kelly and yanci. i wanted to buy that bag alane had bought, but i couldn't find it in bugus street! it was so so crowded, like packed sardines. it's better not to go there during the chinese new year period. we were too tired and cant decide where to eat, so we ate desserts at the foodcourt and went home after that.
went home, email-ed ms choong the homework, grab my bag and left the house to meet them at orchard, and that's when i had my most embarassing moment this year! so i was limping when i met erica. we walked around wisma atria, knowing they would be late (as usual!) after they came, an hour later, we took the bus to newton. i was tempted to go home, my homework was waiting for me at home. i'm guilty of not studying since friday!
so it was my first timein newton food centre, the place reminded me of east coast's food centre, they were alike, just that east coast food centre was deserted. we ordered buttered prawns, chili kangkong, some kind of squid, and stingray! sumptuous dinner, after a tiring day. and a big thanks to alane, it was her treat (:
pictured of yesterday, i'll post them soon!
