i wanna travel through time
so today was spent doing nothing, which was fun haha. except for the birthday party... but that wasn't much either. we just sat around & ate alot. & watched parts of Harry Potter. & watched nine year old boys running around like mad idiots. haha.
thanks for the invite
Shameen :) yes, i will go to the restaurant for lunch one day!
& then we explored Bugis. usually i just go Bugis to eat & sheesha afterwards, so that's like only one part of it. but we basically explored almost the whole area, which was pretty cool. it was almost a different world itself, when normal civilisation (malls, etc) was only a mile or less away.
along the way we came to a quaint little double-storey shop with lots of antiques & whatnot. the first time i stepped into it was with
Sharatul, during our field trip to the Batik shop. but i went in anyway; the things they had on display were definitely worth more than one trip inside.
they had this gramaphone which the old guy was selling for only $280.. although we kinda think he'd probably put it down to $200 cos it's the last piece. & he sounded kinda desperate to sell it off, haha. plus, he'd throw a record in for free! super cool. & kinda cheap too if you think about it.
the stuff on display were LOADS. like, the guy probably had alotta junk & then decided one day that he'd open a shop & make a hell lotta money from it aye? haha. maybe i should do that too considering i have alotta junk in my room.
there were a lotta drinks from the past on display too. like, YEARS of collection of drinks. coke, sprite, fanta, etc. drink it now & it'd probably be instant poison.
& i love playing with the phones! okay i know. how dumb. but i think i tried out like almost every phone in the room, including the ones that came BEFORE the kinds with the spinning dials.
can you imagine, in those times, when there were emergencies & u had to dial the police cos there was a murderer in your house? i tested the time taken to dial 999.
let's just say you'd die before you can turn the last time.
with all the excitement, i didn't even check the name of the shop.
well that was pretty much the hype of the day. expect less to happen till poly start cos that's how life's gonna be for the next twelve days. been eating alot though, & it doesn't help that i have a box of Dunkin' Doughnuts in the fridge.
