(0 ) 20:08 Went for Ms Nair’s wedding today! It went better than I expected. The day, at least.
Anyway, was going to leave at 0830 to meet Kat, Dawn and Yingwan at Dhoby Gaut, but parents said they were going to town, so had a ride! Left at 0900 instead.
Found out that Little India was just 2 min from Dhoby Gaut. Great! That meant we had time, because the wedding ceremony we were going to started at 1030. So on reaching Little India, we looked and the map, saw our destination, and got out. But the roads were confusing and we had no idea which side of the bus to take, although we knew the bus numbers. So we went to ask the Station Master, who gave us confusing directions. Decided we couldn’t go wrong, so we plunged ahead and took a bus, figuring we could always get out and take another bus if we were wrong. We were right! But we missed a stop. So we had to walk back. It wasn’t a long walk though it was a bit hot. The bus stop was just a mere pole in the street with the numbers of the buses stuck to it. Almost couldn’t see it, haha.
So we reached the wedding place, held at Sri Something-or-other. Went upstairs to where they were holding the ceremony and WHOA! It was packed! Spotted our classmates and hurriedly went over to sit.
To be frank, it was excruciating. Especially for me, because of all the darn smoke and incense and my poor EYE which is swollen and terribly sensitive and painful. I was so grateful to get away. But I have to admit, it was interesting.
Anyway, the food was the high point! The Indian food was GOOOOD! Especially the curry. Always the curry.
After that we went to Orchard and watched THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Though reviews for it weren’t great, I personally thought it ROCKED. It was super. I’m getting the DVD when it comes out.
Next went to Kinokuniya (as usual) to buy my poor poor poor pencil. I’m very very attached to my stationery. Did I tell you? I lost my pencil. I was so so so sad and distraught. =( *tear* It was black and red. It was a Zebra DRAFIX. The beauty is on the bottom:
*cry* Anyway, I couldn’t find it. But I bought two other pencils instead. One Tombow Some-runner-or-other, and a Pentel. I love mechanical pencils. I have weird obsessions. Anyway, grabbed Greg Bear’s “Darwin’s Children” too.
And then I came home. I’m so happy! But BUT BUT tomorrow will be such a fucking SHIT day. I hate it. It merits a swear word.
