For a change, yesterday was spent in a way that broke free of the cycle of the routine. Had told SJ some time earlier that I'll take her to an Indian restaurant. I felt pretty bad when she wasn't able to make it to my house because she was working. So met her at the Woodlands control station. Well after leaving my house I realised that I had left behind something VerY important, so had to call my mum to help me get it. After that, I started running towards the Bus stop. I ran, then stopped, then ran all the way. An officer in a police car just looked at me with a weird expression. Thats my problem. Whenever completely guilt-free, I can make myself look very guilty somehow. Sickening.
Since the train was about to arrive in about 2 mins, I asked SJ to board the train. Talking to her on mobile, it dawned upon me that we were at nearly opposite ends of the train. In the end i saw her of course! *phew* Then we started talking. I kept on talking endlessly until she had to ask "Do u always talk so much?". Haha umm SJ, yes with people I know very well that is! Talked about random things, like the SEA games, my encounters with strangers in train and so on. Quite fun! Then we alighted at Dhoby Gaut to take a train in the North-East line. Was telling SJ about the MRT seats in that train. And about the 'please mind the gap'. Lol we were laughing a lot and all. Finally, it was 'Little India station, please mind the gap'. Ha!
I have absolutely NO idea which Exit i took initially, cuz when we came out of the MRT station, the usual 'landforms' weren't there. I called mum and told her they had suddenly vanished, including the Mustafa shopping centre itself! We were now standing near Race Course lane, which was actually the 'behind part' of where we should have gone! So in the end, we did reach the right place and found the right 'landforms' wherever they were supposed to be! So much and so for them vanishing!
Went to the Komala's restaurant. Firstly because it was the nearest(ooops!) and also because more or less all the restaurants there serve same quality of indian food. Obviously it doesn't stand a chance to Indian food in India. duh obviously!? After that, we went in Mustafa and looked around. The chocolates were Super tempting. Saw loads of watches and lotsa other stuff.
once out of Mustafa, we decided to 'explore' the place. Kept walking, taking pictures with our phone and posing for them. So looked for some nice backgrounds. They were all very high up so we were like, "Gosh why can't someone bring them down!??". yes we were pretty crazy =D Saw lots of Africans/African-Americans at Little India. Perhaps a whole group of tourists.
After out 'photo-taking' session was over, we sat down on a bench and talked. The talk was something close to my heart, cuz i told SJ a bit about my childhood. Yea we did 'gossip' or whatever U wanna call it, but we are more than matured to do any back-biting or such despicable things. We are angels. Can't u see the halo above our heads glowing bright? =)
Went back atlast. Took some pics at the MRT station and in the train itself. Told ya, its insanity personified. Nonetheless, I enjoyed myself throughly. Thanks SJ, for making my day so happy and fun-filled. Thanks a lot.
Mich: hope ya make a speedy recovery Gal! =)
