People and displays
Display
Was watching the fireworks display at promenade last night. Wasn't anything extremely spectacular but it was the one who accompanied me that made it all nice and beautiful. Anyways, i had to spoil part of the night by screaming at her. Felt real bad about it and i apologised shortly after. Guess i was just being worried about certain stuff that was being unintentionally recorded down when i was recording the display. Why don't i take photos instead?? They die out too quickly for me to even catch them. I just wasn't good enough a photographer. =P
The Journey There
As we were walking to promenade (our original destination was Shears Bridge coz we presumed it wouldn't be crowded as it wasn't stipulated as one of the viewing sites for the show..but well..if 2 pple can think that way, why not many more?? Shears Bridge was crowded.), i realised that many do not watch where they are going. i.e. they just keep their eyes on one point and walk ahead oblivious to their surroundings that others want to walk past them. Or, they keep looking at the ground while they walk. Not saying sorry even if they bang right into others. Instead, they might even stare at you as if you were the one walking without eyes. (brainless people @#$%)
Dinner
It felt so great to be dining at Fish & Co. Glasshouse again after so long. I had actually planned to go there for dinner with Karen a few weeks back. But due to some unforseen circumstances, I decided not to go ahead with my plans. 'Tho i could still go ahead with it but there wasn't any occasion for it anymore. Anyways, we had a platter for one (those that had gone to any Fish & Co. to eat, will know how big their servings are) complete with a soup and drink and a side dish of bagguett (pronounced as ber-get just in case you're struggling with it) with butter garlic spread. Karen was full by the time we were done but i still could stomach more food. Haahaa..i guess i was just very happy. Being happy increases my appitite..(hmm...i should get upset more often..then i'll be able to lose weight..haahaahaa...just joking). Our 'motto' for the food we eat...'The oilier, the better'. Food that had lots of oil and butter surely taste a whole lot better than those with less or no oil or butter. How can anyone actually stomach food that taste so dry and bland?
After the Show
After walking for half an hour and standing in one spot for an hour just to watch a not-so-spectacular-but-kinda-exciting display of fireworks, we decided to avoid the crowd. So we sat at the edge of the water break while struggling to send msges (I thot there would be reception everywhere we go...not even a singtel line could send the msg). In the end we had to get up and walk to another spot just behind us to send the msges (@#$% how come one spot have then another don't?? we're in the OPEN!!).
Anyway, the crowd seemed to have dispersed so we started walking. Half way there, we realised that the crowd was still ard. Maybe due to the burgers and drinks. The burgers are those that you can find at the pit stops when you're travelling on the highway in M'sia. Real nice..but we weren't exactly hungry so we gave it a pass. Bought ice Milo from one of those a-stall-in-a-van type of thing. There wasn't much ice in it so we wouldn't exactly call it ice Milo. The stall was ran by a group of kids. One of the boys cut his finger and washed it with the water from the ice box (for christ sake..you're gonna get an infection like that but that's none of my business...boys have big egos..shan't tell him that...lest he thinks that i think he's stupid and tells his fren to spit in my drink...Eeek!). We didn't want to get the drink due to the lack of ice but we took pity of the kids and got it anyways. Didn't finish it coz it only made us more thirsty.
Decided to go over to Victoria Concert Hall and sit around. We suddenly realised that there wasn't any traffic light for us to cross over so we jay walked...or rather jay ran across the roads. The traffic light was red anyways. From there, we walked all the way to Mad Monks then to 7-Eleven to get a bottle of mineral water. Along the way, we were looking for a place to seat but everywhere had quite a number of people. Didn't find a seat but we found Claudia, my 'nu er' ('daughter'). That explained why we went to Monks. Along the way, this particular couple was deep in passion and i couldn't help it and made some stupid noises..haahaa...just for the fun of it. Didn't stay long at Monks. We started heading back to Fullerton so that i can take a bus home after getting the mineral water. Along the way, we sat down, chit chatted, counted how many levels a certain building have, and i got frightened by a guy coming up from the river...imagine u and ur fren sitting there...a few river boats below you..then all of a sudden, something appeared to be climbing up by the wall of the river real slowly. yes yes..the typical water-ghost-come-grap-your-leg senario..haahaahaa...it was actually a boatman. He noticed my reaction and laugh at me and said that he's not a water ghost...don't worry...haahaahaa....faintz....
After that, we walked on and Karen tired to send a msg to WD but it just wouldn't get through. It was so frustrating. We then went into Fullerton Hotel and there were quite a number of pple there who went to watch the display..nice ambience...nice music and they even got KOI FISH!!!! SO MANY!!! SO PRETTY!!! i was so excited by it all until my mum called to irritated me with a few stupid qns..(@#$%)..decided to walk out of the hotel coz i wasn't in a beautiful mood anymore. Mum hung up shortly after and we sat down to chat..but my bus came and i was so reluctant to leave..Asked Karen if she wanted me to take the next bus..but she wasn't sure coz she had to meet WD in awhile..and my next ride might not come that soon...so off i went..
On the Bus
Tried calling Karen when i was on the bus...but i just couldn't get thru..must be the reception again..so i kept trying. I sat down beside this guy and he asked me lots of questions about the fireworks display. Like erm...where is it and so on and so fort..he was so queer...i mean he kept talking softer and softer and i had to lean closer to hear him. In the end, i decided to concentrate on getting through to Karen. When he realised what i was doing, he took out his hp and did the same thing too..weird. When i got through to Karen, he went 'Shhhhh....' all of a sudden and in my mind i went 'OMG!!!! i wanna get out of here'. But i ignored him and continued talking to Karen. I guess that guy is either a lil out of sorts or just plain autistic. Oh well...a very very eventful day for me..i wonder if my companion enjoyed hers........
