A weekend too short...

It was a fun weekend, at least for me.

Strange stuff
Strange things keep happening to my memory or brain function. I keep hearing one thing, yet think it is something else. All these happened in the past 2 weeks.
Eg 1
My sister was lamenting, "Why nobody eats the jelly made by Mom? Its so nice"
In my ears, I heard it as that.
In my brains, I thought of it as
"Why nobody eats the jam made by Mom? Its so nice" Well of course, pple eat jam in the morning, now's afternoon, of cos nobody eat.
Think I answered her, but then realized the mistake. Duh selective distortion.

Eg 2
I was writing KaiGi (meeting) in jap, thinking I wrote it as that, it turned out I wrote KaGi (key)
Hmm memory really not working or I am doing selective distortion of information... it ends up with funny results though. Better try to sleep more. Maybe its the less than 6hr of sleep daily.

Eg 3(just happened yesterday)
I hopped on the bus with a collegue heading in the same direction. She got down, I was SUPPOSED to get down one stop after her to transfer to another bus. I was half remembering the pool game me and my sisters played, half thinking of heading to buy toto on my way home, half thinking of sleeping, half stoning. I had naturally assumed that I was on the bus home.
Suddenly I saw the street sign, BKE highway, jolted me back. Eh since when does that bus head onto the BKE unless its heading down town. I thought I was on the way home, it should pass by Bukit Timah instead... Wait a minute, I didnt get off the bus! I am heading down town! Argh!

So the story continues in the next section about doing stuff.

Did some stuff that we all used to do
Well the story ended off with the heroine speeding down to Orchard unintentionally. She couldnt alight cos it was too late, hence town it was.
Smsed Tab and asked her along.
While waiting, went to Lucky Plaza basement to buy toto. 1 task down.
Went back to Far East then waited. Tab arrived and we headed to Kuai Le Wo to eat hotdog, drink Kung Fu tea, our main meal. I was nursing gastric pain by then. It was near 4.30pm then? I was munching something around 4pm. Ate my first meal at 8.30am.
Then we headed to Gelara, to eat Waffles and Ice-cream. We tried to count and recall the last time we ate the 1/2 priced waffles. It seems like dam long ago. The time can actually be counted in years! Tat time when Tab was still in tuition, >2yrs.

I was telling her about the Pool games with my sisters. Its so long since I've last played. Remembered the last time was my birthday with the gang, and it was after graducation. We headed down somewhere in town to play.
Anyway I was out with my 2 sisters on sunday. We ate Pizzahut, then walked around. Then we went to an arcade and played the $2 pool there. Played 2 games each, round robin style. I beat the youngest sister, first sister beat youngest sister, finally we faced off. I lost, haha.
Was telling Tab about it, then she remarked, It has ALSO been years since we all last played pool.

We walked around, doing the usual. She shop, I look and ask. There is a nice Shark bag tat cost $65. Its not that big but is a backpack style. Argh will have to carry it with me everyday for 2 mths.
When we reached Isetan, had to seriously drag Tab from the bag and wallet and shoe section. I mean physically pull, poke, tug, push from the back. Her taste... totemo takai ne (expensive neh)
Saw a nice hat that actually fitted me nicely, those Oliver-twist cap, only prob is it cost $70 bucks! I will have to wear it everyday for 2mths and walk everywhere with it. Then pple might think I am covering a balding spot or wat. Well I took 2 photos, using my phone, will slowly look for a similar one bah...

It was a nice Tuesday, waffles and walking around. Feels like a weekend, minus the crowd. Only if didnt have to wake up early the next day.
