good day vs bad day
a boring day. went to work as usual. wasnt quite in the mood to work cos im so exhausted. first mail of the day was from terry. same old topic. deciding where to go for lunch. they were saying that there was a book fair and they seem really excited about it. i wasnt really interested and i was never interested. okie. before you even condemn me. i do read story books kaez? just not so enthusiastic bout it.at 12.30. ness and i walked to expo. terry and gang were at bk and there were like 6 of them. we decided to go elsewhere. we ended up having "ma lan la mian" and it sucks. dont ever go there. its my first and my last. thereafter we went to the book fair. did saw terry. there were lotsa people and the books are like in a mess without any order. the only seperation they had were the genre of the book. so basically. there was the children section. fiction. non-fiction. chinese. and thats probably all. i was looking through the fiction area. trying to find sidney shelton or dan brown's book but to no avail. i called keong and asked him what author he prefers. the first book that caught my attention was a book on beckham. thought keong might love it. following i found 1 anne rice book titled the chronicles. was really happy. then i found a couple of others. i definitely spent a long time in the book fair. cos i was so engrossed that i forgot about ness and the time. i bought 5 books in total. none for myself. haha.we left the fair at 3pm. how great was that. walked under the hot blazing sun lugging the big bag of books. afraid of being seen. we went by the alternative elevator. received an email minutes later i was back at my desk. hazel questioned me about my long lunches. felt really bad and guilty. gonna stay in the office next week. then i received goos news. i was allowed to leave at 4pm. yay!i msged keong and met him at eunos mrt. was late cos i left the office only at 4.30pm. we took the train to his place. he was really happy when he saw the books. touched beyond words. haha. as usual watched tv. sang a couple of songs. i took a cab home again. haiz. broke! but i had no choice. okie i did but it was late.
