TP Fright Fest
But before that, me and Rui Hua accompanied Delon to Plaza Singapura to buy something for his 1st month anniversary. =) I suggested Couple Lab since it's the place where I bought the ring. I saw some nice rings being discounted to $38! Wth, the only ring that is the cheapest is the only one which I bought the last time and now there are more. But oh well, we went to the basement booth to have a preview before going up to the main shop which is at the 2nd floor.
There was a cute angel egg heart set which costs only $15! It's very simple, nice and well, cute. I'm planning to buy one for someone soon. =)
Anyway, after that, we went on our way to Tampines. It was very crowded, considering it's in peak time. In the train, we kept 'bastard-ing' people, and we can't seem to stop.
On to interchange, we took 69 to TP, which is also crowded. Until at one stop where most of the passengers have to alight and we got seats in the bus. Sat till the rest of the journey.
We entered TP through the west gate. And Rui Hua was leading us, as though he's used to the place and knowing where he is going. But we just followed suit. So we went up the stairs, about 3 flights and it was the entrance of the convention centre. And we went for toilet break and look at this loooooong corridor which leades to the main entrance, which is the plaza. We looked at the map, pointed to the Sports Complex, and then left.
It looked as though we were going back to the same place, just that we weren't walking along the long stretch of corridor. We were walking along the track, as what loooked as though it was the sports complex from a distance. But when we reached there it was just the swimming complex, and it was the shelter above the audience stand. Ok, so we just went 1 big circle back to the west gate entrance.
Proceeded back all the way to the Plaza. Rui Hua called his friend who studies in TP asked where the sports complex is. It was beside the School of Business, which I pointed out but they didn't listen. Meh.
Shortly after we reached the stadium. There were cheerleaders training nearby. Jingy was having her taekwondo training as usual. We watched the team train for a while. After a few minutes, we went to find a place to eat, as we were very very very very hungry. All the food courts were closed at that time. So we went out of TP.
Stairs, stairs, stairs and more stairs. That's what we thought of TP. Everywhere we go we had to climb up a few flights of stairs before we reach the top. Tired and hungry, we still persevered. The nearest fast food restaurant was like freaking far away. We went around Tampines Street 31, hoping to find a fast food restaurant. I saw a KFC in the distance and saw that the lights in there were closed so I thought it had already closed. I thought it had shut down or it's closed for the day. So we continued on, finding hopefully a McDonalds somewhere.
And in the distance, we saw this golden 'M' logo. Our faces lit up, smiles were beaming from all sides. At some point, the place looked familiar, even the building that is nearby. It was the SOKA HQ, and the MCD was the place we went to the last we came to the SOKA building. But I didn't care about al that. It's like we found an oasis in the desert. We quickly walked over and reached the door.
As I opened the door, I knelt down just in front and raised both my friends in the air and yelled a triumphant "YES~! Finally we found what we came for!!" Tears flowed. Even Rui Hua and Delon, like refugees who got lost in the desert. It wasn't a mirage. We started hugging each other for having found such a wonderful place.
Ok, I bullshitted.
Anyway, we eat quite a lot. I especially bought a Large Iced Milo. We ate like savages who hadn't eaten for days. Oh well, shortly we finished our food. And then started talking. There was this guy sitting a few tables away from us, talking on the phone. We weren't listening to what he was talking about, rather his voice sounded like Dickson. It was freaky.
Delon went to the restroom. Left me and Rui Hua, we didn't really talked much, until this 2 guys went in and called "Dickson." And the guy who looked up. We started laughing hysterically, but silently as well. We were like, "WTF?" and continued laughing our ass off. Even when Delon came back, we were still laughing. Then Delon asked what was so funny. Rui Hua couldn't tell because he was too engrossed in his laughing. So I tried my best, and Delon laughed as well. But well, not as much as us.
The MCD sucked, in terms of wireless connection. We couldn't connect due to "limited or no connectivity." So I played a few games. At 9 we left.
It was quite a long journey back to TP. But at least we know where we were going. Shortly after Jingy called and we met at the benches near the School Of Business. We then walked to the bus stop together. I told her about what happened and just other random crap. The 69 bus came and I waved goodbye to Jingy. Took the bus back to TM.
Took the train home from Tampines, all the way back to Lakeside. I slept almost all the way there. I was very tired, after having walked like 10km just to find places.
Reached home at 11.02pm.
