crowds. I know I make up one of them, but honestly.
I cannot handle crowds! I guess being a bit claustraphobic has something to do with this. How can anyone, ANYONE, stand being wrestled around by an obscenely large amount of people? it's absurd.
today is my brother's birthday (omg he is seven already?) so we went to tampines for a celebration and to buy presents. the thing about my brother is, he is very very very picky about his presents. so throughout the years we have learnt to just bring him along whilst buying presents. it saves us alot of guilt and disappointment.
so inevitably, we had to go to toysrus. it was very nostalgic. it brought me back to times when I used to beg for a barbie doll. I remembered being close to tears when my father said no to a cinderella princess barbie doll. nowadays, little girls are better behaved. maybe it's because their choice of toys have drastically changed. I saw a mother holding a beautiful fairy barbie doll and kneeling in front of her daughter who had a off-road battery-operated RC sports car and wailing "BUT I WANT THIS ONE!"
if only I could say the same for the boys. ah well, boys will be boys.
I bought my brother a hot wheels track set and a blue notebook for my mother tomorrow. I met my parents at Popular and this was when it got a little too stuffy for me. okay. who am I kidding? it was freaking crowded because there was some 25% sale that day. it was very ironic that the sale was ONLY ON THAT DAY and ONLY AT THE TAMPINES MALL OUTLET on VESAK DAY.
so I was being wrestled around alot. in the midst of being shoved by hyperactive mothers and playful children, I suddenly landed in an area called the "A'Level Section".
I gulped, took a chemistry assessment book and began flicking through it. I was so stunned. wide-eyed, I tried to find in my memory ever learning about atomic bonds. what are atomic bonds for crying out loud? I am going to ask mr.wong.
gah. I'm getting breathless just thinking about it.
why did God have to invent tampines mall?
hakim I love you, happy birthday.
and if you were sharp enough to see, dad was joking.
the new green goggles are not your birthday present.
