Back Home 2

Friday

I went shopping at Orchard Road with my mum and sis. I was really curious to see if there were any major changes to the place and also to find out whether Taka had "dao bi" yet. Of course, the buildings were all still there but there were many new shops within the shopping centres. We didn't get to go further than Taka or Wisma since my sis insisted in going into almost every store. She wanted to get some clothes so we went along with her. I did need some new clothes as well. In the end, I bought 3 new skirts (Surprise! Surprise!) since the weather was killing me. Wearing jeans or long pants was like a sauna and I couldn't take it. I hated sweating so easily. Just a few minutes walk to the bus stop was already enough to make my face flushed and dripping with sweat...yucks!

Saturday

Shopping with my mum and sis again but this time, we went down to Tampines. Amazingly, there seemed to be much more changes to this area as compared to Orchard. I guess Tampines is a really fast growing area. I couldn't get used to the crowds with people pushing you from all sides and everyone rushing everywhere. I especially hated the way people crowd around the train doors and not allowing people to alight before boarding. They just pushed as if the train would leave without them. I couldn't help but shake my head at their disgusting behaviour.

I'm already missing my room in Brisbane. It feels so odd without Wan Shi, Tommy and Steph. I really wish I could have my Hyena 1 and 2 with me here so that we can go shopping together and laugh like we don't have a care in the world...
