Post Promos, Haji Lane
Saturday, September 20, 2008

Something else to add, Dark Chocolate and Coffee cake, to the up n comin blogshop.. What's that sour orange berry like thing on cakes with the light brown leaves? Yeah whatever that is, it's what I tried to do for the cake when I couldn't make strawberries.. :\ First attempt. I wanted to make candles too but couldn't find something to improvise..


Not feeling like writing so I'm not gonna be wordy here.






Last tuesday was a promo paper for some, so monday to wednesday was free. Five of us headed out to City Hall, Marina Square for lunch. It was pretty dead there, and managed to see some schoolmates too. After Hong Xiang's 'heavy duty' shopping, we took a train over to Plaza Singapura to catch Mamma Mia. Apart from the occasional jerky script-to-song transitions, the movie was quite worth the $8.50, catching it at it's sneak preview.

Some renditions of the classic quartet was nicely played, and I'm glad my parents introduced me to oldies and their evergreen music long ago. I can sincerely appreciate them, unlike a bunch of emo/punk trash kids who pick them up, and sing them till they make you wanna puke your vocal chords. They should just stick to their oversized/skinny clothes and $&^%$^... Nevermind, whoosh.




Lets not have to resort to MRT station photos in future, unless maybe it shows we were havin that much fun that we didn't think of :D







Decided to go for the class chalet afterwards, of which I shall keep my comments to myself. But we were kinda tired, plus Brandon had lil sleep for the past two days. Other things factored in, it was a regretful choice to go.. Here are the hobos I met while on the train. They were grouchy and drunk. :O






This one looked like he was about to get some exercise. Then he thought, damn, I'm homeless, fuggeddaboudit.


I was awake the whole day, save for a 10min nap facing the rising sun. Then left for home, only to go out to Haji Lane with Cheryl and Sabrina the next day. We met her dad for lunch, he's always been nice, but kinda stern looking. Preparations were all around for the coming Hari Raya and stuff, so the smells and the sights were everywhere. Cultural immersion..







While we were searching for Haji Lane, we chanced upon this burnt out derelict houses, that years back, Cheryl and I wanted to venture into. It was kinda eerie, but cool. If it were in the night, whoa my hair woulda stood on end. We went in anyway, and it was kinda small and really musty. Parts of the ceiling was charred and gave way long ago. To think we'd return and check it out two years later, was kind of nostalgic..





Tadah, Haji Lane, with its many boutique outlets and artsy shophouses. A nice change to explore, from the hustle and bustle of the town area. Didn't buy anything in the end, though I did see opened tic tac candy boxes for sale, filled with neon yellow and green flavours I've never heard of. Freaky.

I don't really know of these places like Dempsey Hill and Haji Lane, seem so mountain tortoise-y. I've heard of them, read of them, and it's nice to have friends who'd take you to them. Guess it's a cycle of introduction, but I'm a bit late in it. Still, lotsa fun, but dog tired that evening, staying till 10 at cheryl's house helping her with stuff.

Patience doesn't always pay off. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and then acceptance, some situations stick true to the layout, and the sooner I get to acceptance, the easier it'll be.
