26th November 2005
Went all the way downtown today, just to find items to place on my christmas list. First went down to Bugis with my aunt, cousin and sis, early in the morning at 10. Because I chatted until 3 am that very morning, I yawned most of the way to Bugis. The main attraction there for me, was the bookstore Kinokunia, though they did not carry a wide variety of books. Having found few books to my liking, I decided to head down to the main Kinokunia branch in Taka, which in my opinion, is the best book store in Singapore.
I made my journey down alone, walking swiftly to Taka to stretch my legs and rid myself of the fatigue which clung on to me ever since I left Bugis it seemed. Still yawning, I made my way to the 3rd floor, covered by a fleet of books. I was fairly stunned to see that the literature section ran almost the length of the entire store and I had no idea where to begin. Being sleepy certainly didn't help and soon i found myself selecting books at random, reading the summary to see if it sparked any interest. My legs soon hurt and I grew bored and well...let's just say that it wasn't the most pleasant experience. Found some nice books though.
I left Taka by 3pm, and walked back to Orchard MRT, dreading the train ride home. I always disliked going downtown...journey's far too long. If I thought that I would be facing a smooth journey home, I was wrong. Rain crossed my path as I neared Simei Mrt station. I sat on one of those stone benches on the station for a bit of a rest and I'm afraid that I slept for awhile. Following that, I took a walk in the rain, crossing paths swathed with rippling puddles, mud and coupled with a high probablity of slipping. So? Great day? I don't think so.
