Went to take photos for the history project today with Prisca and Qingli. We met up at Commonwealth before going to Raffles Place. There were loads of pictures to take. I just randomly snapped a few shots of the Singapore River, the boats, Cavanagh Bridge, Fullerton Hotel, Victoria Theatre, and the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles. After that, we walked further down the road to get a few snapshots of the Parliament House. Then, we crossed the road to get pictures of the Merlion and Queen Elizabeth Walk. When we were finally done, we headed back to the MRT where we snapped a picture of Mr Bean. Prisca bought soya milk whilst Qingli and I bought ice-creams. We stood there, eating and not caring whether it was even legal. We even picked up coupons for discounts on the ice cream so instead of paying $1.50, Qingli and I payed $1.20. I still can't believe Prisca bought 3 paper cards for $1! So expensive! For mere paper!
Anyway, it was her choice. When we were done, we headed to City Hall and browsed around. Went into HMV where I saw a lot of CDs that were on sale. Hey Monday, Britney Spears, Lenka, Taylor Swift, FOB, OneRepublic, The Script, Chris Daughtry, and so many others. I wanted to buy a CD but in the end, didn't. Couldn't decide which one because I can easily get music off the Internet for free. But its nice to own a brand new CD. I almost wanted to get Marie Digby but then again, I abstained from buying on impulse. Snapped more pictures of local brands such as Charles&Keith and BreadTalk. But I seriously think I have to get more pictures for myself to choose from.
After a little browsing around, we got on the train to go to JP!! I love JP. Its been such a long time since I'd been there. It was so cool just stepping into that familiar shopping center again. By then, it was 1pm. We went to McDonalds for lunch where Prisca accidentally ended up buying two upsized meals. She claimed she didn't know that that was how it worked. Nevermind Prisca, you'll remember next time! In the end, Qingli and I waited 15 minutes for Prisca to finish her food. She brought some home though. After that, Qingli and Prisca were so kind as to follow me to Popular. They went to look at the CDs while I went to buy my 词语手册1B. I waited a super long time in the queue because some people had a lot of things to buy and the counter staff took such a frigging long time to pack their stuff. Finally, I got my book as well as the latest PopClub catelogue. When I went to get Qingli and Prisca, Prisca was whining about her 斗牛要不要 soundtrack. I have never watched that show before so I'm in no position to judge. But I'm not a fan of Korean or Hong Kong or Japanese drama serials. And I don't like Chinese music unless they're really nice. Initially, I wanted to browse around some more but a quick glance at my watch told me that I had to leave. I rushed to buy my brother's food for his tea before leaving Prisca and Qingli for home. So sad!! I wanted to stay on but I do have my responsibilities around the house. Therefore, I'm currently stuck at home with my bratty brother who screamed just now when I wanted to take a look at his Father's Day artwork. I don't know what it is about little kids that gets on your nerves but I don't really like children. I think they're brats. All they know how to do is to scream and make you mad.
Also, my mum went to collect my report book today. Will post about it some other time. Will also post a couple of pictures that I took in a later post.
Till then:)
