I feel like I just got hit by a truck; groggy, arms aching, eyes slightly watery, and very bloated. Okay, now I sound like I just drowned.



I remember those long, half-day walks we used to take from one end of Fort Canning to the other - those are dates before this semester came. Then everything was a blur, and we hardly had time with each other. We realised that, being sticky creatures, one always felt out-of-sync when the other isn't around. That's the main reason why we're seldom caught being without the other in school.


With my battered throat (from taupok with spicy Thai sauce the previous night), we had a K-session @ Marina Square. And they ran out of K-Lunch! RAN OUT! You mean you can actually run out of a package? They're either just too lazy to prepare more food, or it's just a gimmick to make you spend 5 bucks more on the K-student package, only to chase you out 10 minutes before time is up. Anyway, K-sessions are always fun with Jack, because he sings the weirdest songs, and as a result I had to come up with my weird list of English songs which I haven't sang for the longest time. I just didn't expect 《那首歌》, which was a pleasant surprise. Of course, it was a good chance to try insane songs like 《武裝的薔薇》,《本來》,《選擇》and the likes, since our performing days in Geyao are most likely over. Once a vocalist, always a vocalist.




Yes, we went kite-flying.


And we spend half the time in futile attempts to fly our gravity-loving kite, and the other half discussing about the built environment. Guess SSD2210 was useful after all, and even more so when we've got a rising skyline in the city area. And the view from the top of the Marina Barrage is just going to get more and more beautiful. Perhaps I'll invest on a DSLR then.



Our hopeless kite.

If you notice that my hair's ruffled, that's because we spent half the time running across the Barrage, trying to fly that damn thing. Jack's hair never gets messy.

Dinner back at Marina Square 興旺, our favourite Hong Kong cafe, with more talk. We talk alot, I realised, and mostly about random things. I like asking impossibly random questions, and he answers them. Haha.



Just a little rant about FOX. Undeniably, I'm a huge patron, but they pissed me off yesterday. As they're currently having this promotion for their sweaters ($26 per piece), Jack decided to get one because he thought it looked nice, and it was a steal at $26. Ok. Fine. So we picked a white piece and he tried it on and yadayada. But when we went to the counter to pay, the sales person scanned it and charged us $39! WTF! Didn't your promotion label state $26?

"Oh, $26 is the price for the pullovers, not for the zip jackets."

And you placed them at the same area? With only 1 promotion tag screaming "$26" there? Subsequently, I went back to read the DAMN FINE PRINT, and it said, "For selected pieces originally priced at $33". How many people would bother to read that, especially when both the pullovers and the zip jackets look the same?! Thanks, FOX. To think you actually did this to your ardent consumer. Your marketing department needs to grow some brains.
