A Meeting
I've finished Great Expectations! Wonderful, except that Sochenda's finished both GE and Handmaid's Tale! Which throws my achievements in sharp relief...but hey, Talisa hasn't read GE yet, only HMT, and GE is longer, so I come out tops. :p
I finished GE on the MRT today, travelling all the way up to Dhoby Ghaut to meet up with Maridol's friend Xue to collect my birthday gift (in advance). Why did she have to pick a cold, rainy, thundery Monday? I had to construct an Osama-like headdress out of my TP shirt (haha, that's all it's good for) and bravely battle my way through the wind...and rain...yet I walked on, walked on, with hope, in my heart...
Heh heh, enough Liverpool allusions.
Well Xue was nice enough, so it went well...I wish I could say the same of my trip back home. Being drenched is not a nice thing to experience while riding on the MRT, and if that wasn't enough, I seemed to have picked a carriage containing every kissing couple in Singapore to ride in.
Things I learned today: Cathay Cineleisure isn't fully constructed yet, Dhoby Ghaut is right beside SMU, stay close to a handlebar and stare up at the ceiling to survive MRT trips. (Or alternatively , wrap two hands around the handstrap thingys that dangle from the ceiling and lean forward and pretend you're a puppet from that asinine N'Sync video)
