the longest sunday
sunday, i rode the bike to my mum's place and took a cab to pick up my granny. she wanted me to accompany her to her old friend's house warming party. i had a bad experience with the cab driver. the moment he asked me where is savannah when it is just right ahead, i guessed the uncle is either a new driver or hes very unfamiliar with the east area. my granny boarded the cab and passed me a piece of paper, which has the address and contact numbers written on it. i read the address to the uncle and he didnt seem like he understand. so my granny said its somewhere near whitesands. while he drove, i realised he went the long way but i just kept quiet cos we didnt tell him any specific route.
the next thing i knew, we were at the junction of whitesands so i informed him that we werent going to whitesands. i made it clear that its elias road and its a private housing. then, he brought us to pasir ris st 52 and he insisted that it is there. i got frustrated so i asked if he had a street directory. he said yes and he reached for the seat beside him and passed me the book. i found the place and i pointed it out to him. he continued to make a few more rounds. at this point, my granny was also getting a lil impatient so she asked him to let us alight somewhere and we'll get another cab cos its pointless, we werent getting anywhere. he ignored my granny and he said it might be inside here and he made a turn into a hdb carpark area. my granny emphasized that we are looking for a private housing and it cant be in there cos its all hdb housings. reluctantly, he let us alight in front of some cc and he charged us $10 for the journey, the meter showed $11+. im sure it would have cost less than $7 to reach our destination but it wasnt about the money now. i flagged for the next cab and i asked the chinese uncle if he knew the way. he wasnt sure so we didnt take it. then the next cab came along, an indian uncle, i asked him the same question and he nodded his head. he made a right turn at the junction ahead, drove a very short distance and we were there. like finally. $2.50. imagine how many rounds the previous uncle had brought us.
i saw so many old people and a number of them happened to be distant relatives. dont what "gugu", "biaogu" and some other weird names. i just call auntie and uncle. most of them were fine with it, except this old granny. she say cannot call auntie, must call dont know what zhor. my granny then helped me. the house was bigger than i thought. theres 3 storeys. the top storey is a open garden. the second storey are where all the bedrooms are, 6 bedrooms in total and they are all huge. theres a room, a couple of steps up the living area, i would say its like a entertainment room. in the room, theres a karaoke system with a total of 4000 or 5000 songs. and beside it was a pool table. cool right? they also have a room for fitness, computers and studying. the kitchen is amazing. its like those kitchen you see in western films. huge. i liked the table in the middle of the kitchen. lastly, in the yard, they have a jacuzzi and swimming pool. super duper cool. if i have a big family, i would wish to stay in such an amazing house. but if theres too little people in the family, then i wouldnt cos it wouldnt be cozy.
my granny said we will staying for like an hour or two. but four hours later, i was still in the entertainment room, playing my psp, with music blasting in my ears. so freaking bored, i nearly burst out in tears. i was so relieved when my granny said we could go. we were at the gate when the lady house owner stopped us to have cheng tng. 20mins later, we were finally out. but i didnt get home until 20 - 25mins later cos the auntie who offered to drive us home drove at an average speed of 40km/hr. i had to rush back cos i wanted to have dinner with the bf, before he went to work. i rode at 100km/hr and we had to rush through our dinner. so sad.. cannot spend more time together on a sunday.
i got home and was playing psp, when i was disturbed by some insects. it was on my leg and because of it, i missed a ball (tennis match). later, i found 2 more on the walls and i murdered them. they looked like spiders, same size as a spider with 6 legs and 2 feelers. their body is black and their blood is light blue. i started to freaked out when i found 2 more of the same species. even after the room was vacuumed, curtains, bedsheets were changed, i still felt uneasy, i slept with the lights on. somehow, i woke up at 5am and found 1 of them on my hand. again, i freaked out and i murdered it. in the morning, i woke up to prepare for work and before i went out, i noticed 1 more on the pillow. i capture it and placed it in a plastic bag so i can show the bf.
