And so I finally went to town. It became a mini celebration for me, and so I decided to dress up a bit for it. And then the narcissist in me couldn't resist...
Oh well. Anyway, my first stop was Compasspoint Starbucks. Grande Mocha Frapp = $6.10. Inflation. Bloody hell, my allowance isn't index-linked okay, which means that my real allowance has decreased. (Lame, I know, but since I'm subjected to the compulsory torture called school, I might as well put some knowledge to good use.)
Yeah, so anyway, I spent the time doing a little reading, then talking on the phone, and walking around the mall. After that, met up with Zhou Rui Hong, and we took the train to City Hall. His hair spikes looked like TV antennas. Hehe. Dinner at Subway with the choir. Then we all walked to VCH.
Eugenia and I were lagging behind because we were wearing heels... Haha, this photo looks as though I'm stalking the people in front.
The concert itself wasn't very entertaining actually. Sure, the sound was very nice and warm. Maybe it was the songs. All were so short, and some endings didn't sound like endings. I was like, "Huh, over already?" Well, the final songs (Folklore, followed by the finale) were the most entertaining of the lot, and the concert ended on a literally high note.

Oh yeah, I also saw AHS Choir juniors! Here's Yi Jia and I, plus Justin T's hand. (Spoiler.)
Walked a very long distance to Lau Pa Sat for supper. Two-thirds of way through, Eugenia and I were looking for people to swap shoes with, but nobody wanted to (for obvious reasons). Here's a look at the killer heels. Mine's lavender, Eugenia's is black.
I paid $1.50 for this funny green tea that tasted like Chinese tea. It's some ancient brand I think. I made my intelligent guess from comparing the bottom of the can to the more common can.
Have you ever wondered how the kopitiam ice came about? Why is there a hole in the middle of the ice? Is it because of the ice cube tray? But what is the point?
(To digress a bit, look at what I got out of a cereal box! An "ICE AGE 2" ice mould! I wanted Scrat the Squirrel, which is my favourite character from the movie, but I got Sid the Sloth instead. When I was taking this photo, the tropical heat melted away Sid's front paws. Guess what happened to Sid now? I ate him! Haha...)
Yep, that's all for Saturday.
As for today, la-dee-dah... I went to Suntec for lunch. After lunch, went to the optical shop for eye examination. My degree went down for some funny reason. Previously it was Left-400, Right-275. Now it's Left-325, Right-250. What the hell, I changed my glasses just last year, and they were so bloody expensive. Now I may have to change them again. Anyway, my astigmatism went up, from 75 each eye to 125 each eye. More reason to change glasses actually. Oh well, that can wait. Got new contacts that catering to those with astigmatism - Acuvue Advance.
Nothing much happened for the rest of today, it seems. Argh, I haven't studied... Sigh, it's so late. And tomorrow is the last day before block test. Yep, I am always procrastinating to the last minute. Damn.
