The "Started-Out-Shitty-Turned-Out-Great" Day

Y'day, I suddenly felt like gg swimming so I called Chris to ask if she wanted to go downtown east. We've been toying with the idea for some time and since y'day was so freakin hot i thot it would be a great idea...Then when i met her at the MRT, i noticed that she was dressed in a blouse and a jumper and carrying a really tiny bag...That was when i knew something wasnt right...So I asked her if she was wearing her bikini inside and she was like "OOOHHHHH! I thot u said we were gg downtown east?" The thing is, both Wild Wild Wet and Escape Theme Park are in Downtown East so i guess we both made the wrong assumptions...That said, i suspect she may have known that i was referring to WWW all along but purposely dressed that way in order to force me to go to Escape theme park with her cos she doesnt want to go to WWW and get tanned hahaha...I tried to hide my disappointment and she tried to get me psyched up about Escape theme park by force-feeding me green apple tea and telling me how fun escape is...

I guessed that worked cos i was soon very excited about gg to Escape, adrenaline junkie that i am...But when we walked all the way to Escape, we saw that the shutters were down and that it was closed...Just our freakin luck! So we tried to make our trip down to Pasir Ris worthwhile by gg to the newly opened shopping centre there to catch a movie...But guess what? Two out of the three movies showing were Ayak Ayak Cinta and Congak and the timings for the shows were absolutely horrible so we ended up gg back to Tampines...

On the way to the bus-stop, Chris's 6-inch platforms came loose and she had to shuffle her way to Tampines...She was so desperate she wanted to buy those white flip flops with blue straps from the mama shop that those old uncles in the kopitiam wear but in the end her vanity prevailed and she persevered all the way til she reached Charles and Keith in Tampines Mall...


Then, because we were thinking of gg to The Night Safari, we decided to catch Accuracy of Death even though she wanted to catch Made of Honour instead, simply cos the timing for the former was better...The movie was weird but watchable and we went for dinner after that...But by the time we finished it was 1930 and it was too late to go to the night safari so we ended up at the Siglap HK cafe instead...In the words of Chris's sister, "tian bu rang wo men qu" so we ended up not doing any of the things we intended to do that day...But all in all it was actually great fun just being together and not knowing exactly what to do next...As i always tell her, it's not what we do but the people we are with that matters...


(Above: Christine's face is like a Kua-li...She uses at least two blotter sheets each time)


Needless to say, the day ended great...In fact i think i had a better time than the past two days when everything went according to plan...I will realli miss you when you're gone.
