Big Walkabout

I made the wrong decision by wearing my newly bought, yet-to-be-seasoned sandals out today. End result? 3 blisters, and 2 very sore heels. Why don't I ever learn?

We've ditched Vivocity for the city area! Been wandering around the Suntec-Marina-Raffles City area these days, since it's seems to be the bisector between my home and Jack's. And Marina Square just gave us more reason to hang around there, with the addition of a crane machine section just behind Subway. We would usually satiate our search for such thrills (I almost said 'cheap thrill' when I realised that would be totally fallacious) at the arcadium at Suntec, but the opening of this corner at Marina meant that we no longer needed to make the trip up to Suntec just for the machines. (And mainly because we spent most of our time watching other people play than to try it ourselves.) And Jack's always the one doing everything, because I'm totally devoid of hand-eye coordination plus whatever it takes to extricate one of these toys from the machines.

The engineer's good at such stuff. Either that, or I'm totally luck-less. I'll have the benefit of the doubt.

Another surprise was us meeting our ex-schoolmates there by chance. I met Shaun (from NHSS) while Jack met his JC friend. What I wouldn't want to take home today was the fact that I still, and wouldn't, want to rewind time back to my secondary school period. The major reason was because I was never really happy nor contented with my classmates (whom I had to see 80% of the time), and the way I was treated. I hadn't really been an outcast, but those horrible antics pulled on me have deeply scarred my impression of them, so much so that I'd rather have a second go at life as an insufferable cockroach than to relive that period of my life. I just want to savour the new me, the new life, and the things I've been obscured from back in those days.
