Do I miss TCSJ that much?

Why do I keep going back there?

The main purpose of today was to mail off the cny cards me and hua have been working on for the past week. It was a joint project, and I usually don’t have the patience for this, but since we had everything agreed early on, what else was there to do but to finish what we started?

Public transport is almost like heaven in the morning. XD Well I’m saying this without comparing it to other countries, but comparing it to a period of time. (Trust me, you do not want to try your patience with it at anytime from 400pm – 530pm when everyone is trying to get home) And to my amazement, I got from DU to Subang in a record time of 1 hour and 10 minutes (definitely a feat as I usually take 2 hours+). Not to mention my timing was pretty good~ I didn’t have to wait half an hour for the bus to the LRT station, but only 10 minutes. And when I got to Kelana, the bus was already there, all I had to do was hop on it. XD aah~ how sweet the smell, of a glorious victory over the abysmal timing of public transport.

Since it was only about 10am, I went to join ai-chan (she was at the stinky market with great cap fan)… the only thing that makes me abit queasy is that whenever I join them (she was with her classmates) they seem to begin to disperse within 5 minutes of my appearance. Am I that scary? XD Woow~

I lepak-ed at CL2 for abit while waiting for hua (using ai-chan’s login, of course XD mine’s long invalid after 3 months of quitting…cis) and when she did arrive (She walked from the KTM station to college, although there was a bus. Maybe she thought it wasn’t worth 50cents.)…we went to post the letters. I still don’t have huanmiao’s address, and I don’t know when is the soonest convenience I’ll get to see hou. Mrs Chong was genuinely surprised (and happy to boot) to receive the card (I saw later that she actually put ours right on top of the cards that she received and slotted on the blinds XDXDXD) and Mr Yap was glad (needless to say actually, but I thought I might as well say it since I already described Mrs Chong’s reaction just to complete the picture) and I hope that I got the alpha omega thing right. XP Actually, it doesn’t matter, it’d just be nice to get it right.

Boinky kenken sms me to say that he’d only be done by 12. Then he called hua to say that he’d be done by 1. >_> Saw sooguan at about 12pm, so we chatted by the corridor near CL6 and saw mr chong. No guilt on this end for not giving him a card, we ‘conveniently’ ran out of material. XP Then with ai-chan, we went to the E&E lab to see ken. Not to kacau him, I suppose he and jiun were busy with their project. After awhile outside the lab, seeing the “Wow, I am so excited!” coming from a straight faced ai-chan….I let her trot off to the library. The main point of her was to see ken (okay, don’t get any funny ideas, it’s not what you think it is~) and so I can’t blame her for the reaction. XP Not exactly her fault she likes to mug. Or does she? I leave that aside for now.

We continued chatting outside the lab for awhile, and seeing how they weren’t gonna get out anytime soon, we abandoned them and headed for Cabana. When ken and jiun came, an extra surprise greeted us; weehoo. XD Me, being the card distributor was just too happy to unload the remaining cards to their respective owners~ mostly we were making fun of ken and his ‘yellow’ girl over lunch (getting sneaky are we kenken, even having her photos on your phone…I shudder to think of what you do with your phone when you’re alone XD *laughs until stomachache*) and weehoo remarked on how the girl at the next table (who happens to be gay-chai’s neighbour) is a ‘pirated’ version of -ahemahem- (no names, just that the ‘original’ is from Johor, just like weehoo~ XD and she’s a super bubbly fun girl)

Got kenken to drive us to Pyramid to watch a movie XD The only super-letdown was that the only screening of Oliver Twist was at 815pm later tonight, which we couldn’t possibly hope to catch, and so we were down to Fearless, Shopaholics, or Syriana (wahaha I got it right at last!) >_> I’m gonna watch Fearless tomorrow, and the next screening of Syriana was at 435pm, so Shopaholics it was.

Well, this is a cantonese movie, and it was filled with silly lame jokes. About (duh) a shopaholic whose psychiatrist has an ailment that prevents him from deciding on anything. I’d give it 6/10. The lameness was overwhelming in a show, but still entertaining. Another one you can watch at home in your free time, but not exactly worth going to a cinema for. I never saw the fun in buying clothes and apparel until it drags you into destitution, unless..you’re talking about books or something else that piques my interest (some electronic gadgets *hinthint XD* , maybe some really chun figurines, manga, cds, films..the list goes on) An outright silly movie that was probably solely created for the cny season (quote hua).

I thought it was rather ironic to get out of a nice comfy car to take a bus back home. T__T Beggars can’t be choosers after all. I was so hoping to get the car today, but this had to be one of the days where mom leaves super early for work. It was about 5pm when I got to the bus stand.

Sighhh.

Truly, I didn’t get back till 7pm. I happened to board that bus where the aircon happens to suck, but luckily it looked like rain as there were dark clouds, and more importantly, a cooling breeze from the open hatch on the top. And here’s where the timing really begins to suck. T__T Waited almost half an hour for the bus to Kelana. Then at the Taman Bahagia station, another 45mins before the bus came. I was just wondering why so many people were already queuing even though the bus hadn’t come. *shrugs* so what you get is a super-long queue of people stretching all the way to the stalls at the entrance of the station, easily about 40 people. A scary notion gripped me; ‘What if that’s the queue I’m supposed to get into? Would that mean I won’t get to board the bus when it comes? Man my iPod battery is dying, I don’t want it to run out until I’m on the bus, then it wouldn’t be too bad…’ Luckily, all that worry was in vain. XDXD The shorter queue happens to be the for the bus that I was taking XD On the bus, I was wondering, would I see that Jim Carrey-looking guy?

I didn’t. XP
