Currently Listening To: Right Round – Flo Rida
Tim woke up very late today, precisely at 2pm. Actually he could have woken up earlier but he decided to stay in bed. He woke up to various miss calls and messages from people after plugging his phone into the charger realizing it went dead over the night.
Rushed/bussed to school on 69, met Bear and Gee at the school bus stop, got on 23 to Bugis, for a short interview with Simon, a previous lecturer from Chemistry. Met Huiling at the Bugis MRT, walked apprehensively towards Jln. Pisang, where the Chemistry and Point of Contact with Simon was to be at. Decided to take a shit break as we walked two blocks at Raffles Hospital– Bear made a passing comment that hospitals are not a place to visit right now because of the Swine Flu. I decided that my shit business was more important and apparently Bear did too because I found him at the urinals as I exited from the cubicle.
Simon decided to run late, we were instructed to sit down at the corner kopi shop at “the other end of Jln. Pisang”, which turned out to be an indian joint of prata and other delicacies associated with the second most populated country in the whole world. Simon grandly appeared out of a cab 20 mins after the agreed time of meeting, sporting a moustache. “This is new isn’t it,” he jokingly said while stroking it. We paid the indian man for the Bandung Bear ordered and the Coke.
Proceeded towards the Chemistry office, the place is very nice, reminded me of a properly done Mindvalley office (the difference being they were not stingy enough to spend on nice furniture and interior touchups). I think the “interview”, or Q&A, as it felt like it was, went quite well.
Regrouped outside the office, Huiling had to go off. Me, Bear and Gee decided to pay Haji Lane a visit and maybe later head to LaSalle. Randomly bumped into Kelly, Lyn and Josh at Haji, outside Duplex (where I saw yet another rainbow belt– for $20. The other ones were spotted at Deja Vu Vintage for $25 and another on JK’s waist). Kel just finished her interview with the Loft boss– went there later to check it out, the place is quite nice, they now expanded to have this public lounge area with guitar hero and other recreational things? Saw a Friegtag big sized tote going for $200, quite worth it actually.
Gee decided to head home after Haji, so me and Bear went on to LaSalle to meet up with Syahid who was sitting in for the Fashion Dip. gallery that day. Saw this piece by a Daniel Loh that can transform from a bag into a garment. Greatly impressed, I can’t even begin to imagine how to draft that thing. Zhiyang and Shiai was there too, Syahid closed up at 8pm, so we decided to head on to the supposedly highly confidential Club21 sale that no one knows about (yeah– how many of you reading this got wind of it?)
On a side note there is now a really cool cafĂ© bar bistro thing at one of the ground floor LaSalle galleries. Very cool, it’s called “15 minutes”.
Took a bus to Suntec and walked through Millenia to get to the Flyer then to the former F1 Pit Building where the sale was at, it turned out to be over already at 8pm. Severely disappointed, but we managed to get a peek at the stuff on sale, saw racks and racks of clothing. Shiai and I were hoping for more footwear and bags. Shall return on Sunday to see what’s left– and Sunday– will go to the 8Q Fleatique as well.
Had an amazing 2 popiahs at Marina Sq foodcourt, and an ice kachang. And another ice cream as we trooped to Suntec in search for bubble tea, but it already closed. Siao, right?
Got home with Shiai on an amazingly smelly bus 67. A group of ah bengs passed by and one of them said, oh look, that girl, oh, that guy so gay. Haha.
Decided to do something about the increasing amount of clothes piling up around the room– attacked them with hangers and hung everything up in the wardrobe– oh I’m so proud of myself. Some items need to be washed!
APEL tomorrow and I have no idea what we are going to do. After APEL, head to town, club. Fun, please.
