hi! just got back from NTUC.
hee, the trip to the market was very eventful.
see, Mummy told me to go buy maggi and fishballs.
so, my left arm was supporting the maggi while i looked at the fishballs.
i was trying to decide which brand to buy wen suddenly this girl went all "assalamu'alaikum kak..."
girl: *puts out hand* *says something about selling bookmarks for $2 to help the poor*
me: *looks at fishballs in hand* *looks at girl's hand* *looks at fishballs* *looks at her hand* umm... the money's not mine.......
lol. awkward situation! i only realised she wanted to salam me 5 mins later...
there's more. after i left NTUC i saw the same girl, or rather someone who looks like her, or maybe the same clothes confused me... she too said more or less the same thing. i was kind of speechless and was turning from NTUC to her to NTUC back to her, blabbering wordlessly like an idiot, and she probably sensed my confusion so she said "oh, dah eh....?? tkpe tkpe.."
''"''"'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
last night was pretty much eventful, too.
was going somewhere in my Aunt's car along with my mum, bro and grandma when one of the tyres punctured...
on the highway.
we were like damsels in distress, lol!
tried changing tyres. it was really hard loosening the screw-things that held the tyre to the car.
in the end we called a tow truck. >.>
i didn't see it, though, because my uncle came along and everyone except my aunt drove off, while she waited for the tow truck.
turned out that the tyre wasn't really punctured, just deflated.
went to takashimaya to look for my uncle's bride-to-be's shoes.
took AGES. all that time. all those overpriced footwear!
seriously. i doubt i'll ever want to pay over $300 just for a pair of shoes...!
some of the workers there were pretty cocky, too.
like when it was almost closing time and i was looking at a pair of overpriced sunglasses and this woman said to me "we're closing... now."
with a really cocky voice and cocky tone and, well, you can imagine.
so i said "yeah yeah i know."
would've yelled at her if mum wasn't calling me.
grrrrrrrrrrrr.
after that we went to simpang bedok to eat.
there was a clothes shop there, the Geylang Serai type that sells muslimah clothes.
in the end the girls bought a piece each.
ehehee, about time i added something to my wardrobe. it's been ages since i bought clothes.
speaking of which, i need new jeans.....
ok now we'll jump to this morning when i woke up to the sound of really, really, REALLY loud drilling.
turns out they were hacking the staircase right outside our house.
it was soo loud, that my ears were throbbing whenever they paused.
it went on for about a couple of hours and i knew i had to go out if i didn't want to get permanent ear damage.
dad was bothered, too. so he brought me and bro to go eat outside.
then, just to kill time we went to Mount Faber.
it's a really nice place, and it was my first time going there. i'm thinking it's a nice place to have our next class outing. =)
ok-kay! mum's not in a good mood and she'll prolly blow her top if i don't clean the mess that's my room.
toodles!
Love, Zaffie.
