Today was an unconditionally un-mendak day.

I spent my Saturday with 12 very un-mendak people. They were very accomadating and I really had tons and tons of fun with them. I loved today it was super super fun. Sometimes there is just no other word to use but fun. I don't know why, I think my vocabulary has diminished. I think the only way I could have had more fun is if I was with my family or hulabagi.

My day started in the wee hours of the morning. I mean it this time. I woke up at like six thirty to the sound of my alarm and I was like 'Oh alright. Time to eat Thosai/Dhosai with the people.' When I woke up my dad was all bathed, primm and proper. This was how our conversation went.

Namira: I cannot believe you actually woke up and came out specifically for this, abah.
Dad: This is a historic event, Namira!
Namira: Why?
Dad: You woke up at six thirty! I must witness this event.
Namira: ....
Dad: So next time I want to bring you breakfast in the morning at Tekka you'd better not say no, okay?
Namira: Kayy Daddy.

I met Duane and Andrea at the bustop. Andrea looked so chic and Duane looked quite good looking as well. This was my first outing with them but instead of being excited I was quite lethargic that morning because the day before I spent the entire day swimming/out.

Boarded the bus. Hadaaaaay(Hadi) Lee was there waiting for us in the bus. Chatted occasionally with them and then Yong Xing boarded the bus. I put on my specs because the sun was very glaring. I didn't talk quite alot at the time because I was tired. So I let them gabble and gabble on about their O'level results and Joshua going into Hwa Chong and all that.

We took the NEL which was really cold to Farrer Park. The train was like two degrees celcius and even Hadi thought so. I wore my specs again and Duane said I looked like Willy Wonka (-.-). They kept laughing at something I didn't catch so I focused my attention to the Twilight trailer on the tv inside which quickly changed into a video showing you the precautions you must take in the case of an emergency. There were alot of cute children in the train too.

Dropped of at Farrer Park after which we were walking and circling the area aimlessly finding our way there because Andrea couldn't find it. So we kept consulting Duane's map thingy on his phone and finally we arrived at the Woodlands (even though it was in Little India) restaurant. We settled ourselves in and ordered.

It was very difficult to order because our waiter kept hovering and pressurising us. I was the last to order so I just ordered whatever I thought was nice. They drank tea and milk while I drank coke. Consumed our breakfast and remarked upon our different speeds. Duane is such a machine. He ate TWO masala dhosais and two vadais. It might not sound like alot but it is. That boy can eat.

Then, I cannot believe I am saying this, but we made our way to... MUSTAFA. YES MUSTAFA CENTRE. Namira Nasir went to Mustafa with her friends. And it was quite awesome. Me and Andrea with the assistance of Hadi were shopping for these delicious bangles. I chose twenty four quite easily so I chatted with the guys. They complained I looked constipated and stressed out. Andrea my darling took a seriously long time choosing appropriate bangles like it was a life and death decision. She was the stressed one. But what can a girl too? There were too many pretty bangles. But by the time she did choose twenty four she gave it to the lady for packing but one by one the lady kept throwing them away because they were broken so Andrea had to repeat the process all over again.

Sorry Andrea.

We went to seven eleven. Me, Yong Xing and Duane bought COKKKKE for one dollar each which is really cheap. Andrea bought a big gulp. Hadi didn't buy anything. He stuck with his orange juice and kept saying we were going to die early because we were drinking coke.

Then we literally walked to Bugis Junction which was surprisingly fun. We passed many worn out but in a cool way antique shops. At Bugis we went to TOPMAN and Bugis Street to shop for Duane's and Hadi's outifits. Never knew shopping with boys could be so exhilirating. We went to this really cool comic book shop that sold a Jigsaw puppet which was really cool, there were Star Wars collectibles. There was a land slide beside me as some toys fell down and immediately the guys blamed me. But the thing was like one metre away from me and I was staring at this cool wonderwoman figurine.

We to Samuel&Keith (I think) where Andrea found these awesome pair of sneakers that fit her perfectly that costed only FIFTEEN DOLLARS. There were these really cool heels that I wanted to buy for fifteen dollars too but it was impractical and unstable. So I didn't buy them.

For the entire of shopping, the guys and gal kept complaining that Faris should have been there when he wasn't. He had all of these cool discount cards. So yeah. Complainers.

After all that we went to Mcdonald's to chillax for a spill. We sat and talked about MJC and cutoff points and Mrs Low and Arjunan and Literature and Math grades and Amath grades and Arjunan's bag and Zafran and other cool stuff.

Hah, you guys thought I wasn't paying attention weren't you guys? I was. I so was.

So after Aaron arrived and had his lunch, I decided it was time to leave. Yes leave. For where? Wait for the second post okay? I am going to watch a movie now.

Messages to the people I went out with:
Andreeeeaaa: Hey BABE. Thanks for being such a sweetheart and entertaining me today. I loved the restaurant by the way.
Duaaaaaaaaane: WEN JUN. You were cool today. You should have bought that shirt from TopMan you know. I had fun. Thanks for talking to me.
Hadaaaaaaay: Hadi thanks for being really sarcastic and amusing today as usual. And for holding Andrea's bangles with your finger and telling which ones were broken.
Yong Xiiiiiiiiiing: Thanks for saying the work in-laws so many times and telling me about the Campus SuperStar stuff.

And to the family feat Erickson that I went out with today, I HAD A BLAST TODAY. Thank you so much for inviting me. It was so much fun. I had a fantastic time, thank you.

self-proclamation.
My life is not a fascination worth the scrutiny of those who watch over me. Yet, I live amongst thin air and sparkling personalities. I am an avid fan of the KoreanPop scene. So bring me to the number thirteen.

read my lips.

they're watching.
