(post note: pardon my gross grammatical errors.)
ooh! today i was out with poh and BOW!! yeah! finally seeing a new face other than poh! lol.. we went to tampines kelly services. i kind of dragged rainbow along cuz i assumed poh didnt know the place either. well, so far what i know is no temp jobs available. sigh. im so jobless.
nonetheless, the trio went out =D window shopping at tm and century square. attempting to look for gifts but erm, ... got distracted. stopped at pizza hut for lunch. i had such a salty plate of spaghetti. bah! we moved on to chinatown. attempted to take quite a few photos but the effect is quite bad. must be the lighting. haha..
the next stop: people's park centre!
poh and my initial plan for today was to make contact lens. so yup. we went there, in hope to see the legendary cute guy.
sigh. the optical shop sure looks crowded, wonder if they'd have the time to teach me put on contact lens.
double sigh, the cute guy is not there!!! rarrrr! so sad k.
triple sigh, we got served by an auntie who was playing with a toddler, who seems like she knows nuts about the eye. poh went to get her contact lens while i requested for a trial pair of contact lens (which mean someone to teach me how to wear it). SIGH! she tried her best to sound as polite as possible but it's easy to read between her lines: can't you see we are busy? go somewhere else and play and stop disturbing us. like what she'd say to the toddler who is fidgeting with the spectacles and optical what-not. a right minded person would not want to have a trial pair of lens today.
oh man. i didnt see this coming at all! the last time when poh and me came to do our geeky specs, it wasnt like this at all. i tell you, the service was great. so great that we couldnt forget the optician who see us through the process of detailed eye examination, the courteous lady who patiently showed us the dozens of specs to try on, the sheepish and blur er.. help-out in the shop. especially the optician. he is good ok! gosh. that tuesday when me and poh went to collect our geeky specs, the shop was actually quite busy too. i wanted to try out wearing contacts. he! he actually spent time with me and taught me how to put on contact lens even though he know that i was just there to try it out!!!
happy poh and me when served by the super nice optician that tuesday//
digressing// people are saying that poh and me look like sisters! man. must be those specs.. lol. //
i tell you, putting contacts is not easy ok. alright, im slow. i thought it is a feat to put something into your eye. like you know, when a tiny bit of sand blows into your eye, your eye immediately gets irritated. let alone contact lens! digressing.. well, yes. i took such a long time and i havent really master the correct way to wear contacts la. like until he finally exclaimed, "hey, your friend has waited for quite some time right?" (yes, at this moment, poh is rotting at the other side of the shop, scrutinising the every employee) yes, i took that long and havent succeeded.
haha, yup, that tuesday, it turned out that poh ordered the contacts while i got to learn more before i can buy. bah. so today! a tuesday, we went back to the shop and left with a whole load of disappointment. we got served by that blur auntie, i couldnt try out the contacts and poh got to wear such funky misty grey contacts while i CAN'T! im so jealous!!! >_<>
we lingered in people's park centre for a while, discovered alot of d-i-ys, enquired a few travel agencies (yes, we settled on bangkok) then proceed to people's park complex. we thought that might as well ask a few more travel agencies and so, another episode. we realised that not many travel agencies are all ready to serve you with a smile -- they are all busy with their telephones. it can be quite difficult to yes, enquire. on top of that, many are not that willing to spend time telling us the details, especially because we are on budget and on free-and-easy. they just quote a price, time of flight and that's it. not until we approached one of the suspiciously similar kind of travel agency. you don't know what is good service until you see karen. she was really good. other than quoting the prices and the usuals, she made the effort to show us the map of bangkok, the better hotels, and EXPLAINED to us which could be a better hotel than the other. man, she is not obliged to do this you know. good service made us happier again. =)
karen made us so hyped up about researching on bangkok. so guess what? we made our way to the national library! lol.. found some useful info on bangkok and also on makeup. we were so amazed by how girls revamped simply due to makeup. then, poh went home while me and bow went bugis street. i discovered a manicure shop that has express manicure at $7! wow.. cool deal!!
then we went bugis parco and seiyu. i caught eye on a watch. although it's selling at 9.90, i was rather indignified because in that range of watches, i have one watch that is exactly the same which i bought at 5 bucks. and they claim that the mechanism of the watches are made in japan. it is so good that even when you take out the battery, the watch will not stop. is it me or is he doubting my intelligence? i then asked him, "if the watch can function without the battery, why need the battery?" and he tried to beat around the bush. bah.
... alright, i typed long enough to entertain you guys for quite a while. have fun =)
haha, a pic to show you even tho i was sick, i was still insistent of going out. =D
poh and me! haha, one of the best shots we took so far. =)
