ALMOST PERFECT. YET WEIRD Wednesday, August 01, 2007
Today's a weird day, perhaps a little weird for it to be a rather perfect one.
Seeing I was already late for school I called for a cab. Yes, booked a cab. I'm so not used to attending lectures at 12noon. Before the arrival of the cab, the driver actually called to inform me that he just needed to make a U-turn and he spotted me already, very politely. For the 20+minutes journey he actually talked to me almost everything from the general politics to credit cards to his life and all the way to how he becomes a taxi driver. Stunning. Upon destination, he told me to study hard and remember to treasure the opportunities that I have. And he didn't even charge the booking fees and even deducted the taxi fare itself. Really. I'm a complete stranger to him and I was really impressed. Thanks Uncle Low. He's a Citycab driver by the way, not the Comfort one (whom I have 2 bad experiences with).
My International Relations lecture only consists of 25 students and apparently about 9 were missing today. The lecturer is petite for a guy. He said, "Introduce yourselves and why you chose IR."
My reply,"Hi, (intro blah blah). Honestly speaking I chose IR 50% out of interest and curiosity and the other 50% not really much choice since I've taken POA last year. (Blah blah). Like you mentioned, IR is a alive subject, but I don't really favour writing essays, but it seems like I don't have much of a choice, so guess just to work on it. Yup."
I was so frank but well who cares, there are only 25 other people. Curiosity kills the cat, I nearly added that.
And after class I went down to Suntec to join Val to queue for donuts!!! Got to thanks Val for waiting for me and queueing for 20min before my arrival. It was for the moment that I decided I want to queue for that cuz I always thought it's dumb to do so. Well, it's only half an hour and another half hour while we bought 2 side ones to be eaten on the spot. I got to say it's nice, nicer than the one @Vivo, whatever it is called. I bought 4 half-dozens of which only 1 box is mine. I gave 2away for surprises and 1for along-the-way for another friend. Call it waste of money for my very little pay but I just find it nice to give once-in-awhile surprise.
After so many weeks, a mini getaway and seeing my friends and surprises concluded my day. A day that I'd label as satisfying. 3.5stars/5. I'm a satisfied girl for today. Smiling. Meow!
