Saw the euphonium on tuesday afternoon. Exorbitant prices. Really. Saw one that cost 8k! Supposed to be the newest of the three displayed and mind you there is a newer one not available there! Phew! Goodness, I wondering how long I'll take to save up enough to get a decent one for him, years probably looking at the way I spend. BUT! I'll still try. Wich me luck!
Anyway before that we went for lunch at Tanjong Pagar Food Centre. Not bad la, just a lot of office crowd. Quite lucky to get an empty table, so managed to do as we planned: Eat peanut ice kacang. Funny thing is he asked if I would be angry that he brought me to such a lok place for lunch. Why would I? Silly boy really. Probably 'cause we're too used to eating at nice, comfy and expensive places, not good, should change. Taken the first step so I guess it would be long before we start spending less on food and more on other stuff. Had some quiet time at Istana Park. Okay it wasn't exactly quiet time, since there was a bunch of workers there at the park building some metal structure thingy that I cant make out. Whatever the case, saw a nice restaurant cum bar there which we both agreed it had nice ambience and decor. Must try it out some time soon. Went for movie after that. <>. The idea of the story is quite fresh, but I just hate the ending. It's like the scriptwriter can't decide and left it hanging there for us to guess. Some open endings are good for certain stories, but I hate it when it's for sad stories. I'm a happy-ever-after kinda person, stories where good guys succeed and bad guys suffer may be cliche but it works well for me. Probably because such scene rarely happens in real life, so why deprive us of these fantasies in our play-pretend world? Actors and actresses are supposed to be what we wish and never could be in the real world, that's why stories like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are big hits. Same goes with Love, actually and even adaptations like A Beautiful Mind. This purely because such things rarely and some never will ever happen to us that's why we watch them. We yearn the unattainable, that's human.
Okay, that's enough for tonight. It's time for Ms Think-too-much to get back to her books. French books to be exact. Exams is in less than 11 hours. Better do some last minute struggling, before I go into the exam hall for 2.5 hours of unfamiliar language.
