等待

i woke up at 9, the time when mural work started, and rushed to raffles city. i was hoping to hit donut factory early to buy the donuts without having to queue. and yes, i got there at 10, but they didn't open till 12.30pm.

tried doing some shopping around the area, but nothing was really open. i went over to millenia walk trying to find candy empire, but it was so freaking difficult to find it i don't know why. is it so difficult to find a shop? am i reaching for the stars here? not really.

when i found candy empire, it was still not open yet. then later i bought this really expensive strawberry milk from it. i went on to toys'r'us at suntec, where many of the shops were still not open yet. i don't understand. doesn't anyone go shopping on a saturday morning. and not like it was very early already.

quickly made my way back to donut factory to see if there was already a queue. and yup, there was a queue by 11. and so i became the ninth in the queue at 11. omg the queue became so long (physically and temporally). and damn i didn't bring any homework to do. could have completed my vectors tutorial while waiting.

i almost borrowed notes from some guy to read. he seemed to be reading geography stuff. i saw some bit on 'evapotranspiration'. all the time, i was listening to the music that was being played in that cd shop. omg, i could have like made friends with people in the queue because i was so bored.

it was quite an interesting experience. for some reason, donut factory's donuts must be so nice that it actually attracts pregnant women to go there and queue for like don't-know-how-long to buy the donuts. it's like some pilgrimage, to prove their sincerity in wanting the donuts. and then i heard the pregnant woman behind me tell her husband that the foetus woke up already, which led me to think about whether a foetus in a womb actually sleeps and wakes up.

when the store finally opened, the smell of the donuts just kept coming! when i looked back at how long the queue was, i kept laughing to myself. luckily i made the right choice to start queuing at 11. so, after queuing for almost two hours, i bought 24 donuts! 12 for home and 12 for mural! i exhausted most of the flavours for the home ones, but i bought only the chocolate flavours for the mural people.

funky flavours! wasabi cheeese, spicy cheese, double chocolate, hazelnut milk chocolate, peanut butter glazed. and many, many others!

and then of course after queuing for so long, you have to boast about the fact that you got the donuts. i enjoyed letting the smell of the donuts waft through the train! and i'm quite sure many people were looking at my donuts.

craziest thing i've done this week/year! but i suppose good things are worth queuing for.

ok, so i was rushing to school to get the donuts to the mural people as fresh as i could. and everyone was so happy to see the donuts! even gordon, who preferred 'donuts' to be spelt as 'doughnuts'. haha jeffrey was so excited to open them. omg the double chocolate donuts were damn nice, according to all those who ate it. haha i have it at home! oh, would you believe that when i asked jeffrey whether he wanted to lick the chocolate on the box, he actually took it and licked it?

so, lunch was donuts. and i'm really happy today.

after that, it was all work work work. i touched up lots of orange and light green. gordon was getting pissed because there was still so much painting to be done. dinner was ruffles potato chips sponsored by lingxi. i ended up staying till 9.30pm =( and gordon was scaring me with ghost stories. had to call paul to talk with me until i walked near enough the mrt.

i don't understand why it was so fucking noisy on the train home. i wanted to bitch-slap the people who kept talking and talking and laughing so loudly. mirandaspeak: so when do i laugh?

looking forward to monday.
