Geylang Serai
I had a very dissapointing and unfruitful day at TP today. This is because, our design have not even been vetted yet. And its already a week, Gosh Im starting to worry. So me and Iz spent the whole day enjoying the free wireless access, and of cause, alittle work here and there. After dat, we left early and I spent my time roaming around TM. THe place sure brings back memories. I fell in love with this black jacket @ SnK selling for $19!! wat a good deal lah...still contemplating to buy or not...any takers ppl? its only $19! buy me one puhlease.... HAHAHA
I made way to Paya Lebar. During the train ride, I notice that after each stop, There are more Malays on board the train. And after each stop also, The 'wild' level increases. haha. Its amazing this Geylang phenomenon. Its like the ultimate endurance test. Cos there, Chicks of all shape and sizes are there...and they are dressed to kill I tell you. The irony.
Ok I reached Payar Lebar around 445pm. Mum and my siblings wnt be here till after maghrib. I surveyed the area with the 'LUXURIOUS' time allocated to me (TIRED wei!!..Did I mention that I brought along my lap top and notes?! Heavy!) After walking around endlessly an excruciating pain for more than an hour, I stop by Darul Arqam to do my prayers and rest. They have this nice bookstore. I didnt noe wat force drew me into it but it made me buy 3 books. Inspirational ones in these dire times. I met a familiar face there, Shiq , from rebutia. Its hilarious the way she approach me. cos I believe shes been wanting to say hifor some time but was unsure. Im glad she did though, Had a brief conversation. I buka-ed at Masjid Khalid. My favourite buka spot...I love their Nasi Briyani. Too bad....there were none today..But alhamdulilah, I didnt starve.
The food they serve was not bad. I was rather full actually. After Maghrib, Went on to observe the Geylang phenomenon.... Met a familiar face again...This time its Abg Azroy Sulaiman. A veteran artist. Hes selling deng deng if im not wrong. Oh its infront of the Banquet, near the Bridge.
Mum called soon after I took this shot, In my daze of mesmerization, for the tireless beauty of Geylang serai.
Shopping with mum has always been a test of patience and endurance. Anyways got myself nice stuff to wear this coming raya. Its different from the rest of my baju kurungs. Anyways While paying for the goods, An Angel drop by in the name of Rohani. If only words can describe wat I saw. Anyways we exchange glances and smiles. And I saw her staring from the corner of my eyes (which was confirmed by my bro, haha) Im gonna visit 2nd chance again. HAHAHA
While mum was looking for her stuff, I took Herman out to shop for caps. We rendevous we Dad who came at just the right time. To pressure the ladies to hurry. I was becoming restless.....and the bag wasnt helping. After much pestering from me, they finally left TKC. Only to be distracted by the carpet auction outside.
She bought a $30 carpet by the way. Good catch
I was happy when we finally got to city plaza, To the CAR!! Amusingly, God had other plans for me. It came in the form of ' Find the carpark' game. 4 families, one objective, OUT. Who will win?
HAHA..we were all looking for the exit., As the Shopping Centre was already closed, it was dark. and most of the exit doors are locked. Toot rite.
Anyways, Who else found the exit but the ever trustworthy Navigation trained PS, ME. We were saved, YEY
Had a proper meal at Amin Bt Timah after that....
What a day....

Title: Foo Fighters - Times Like These
I am a one way motorwayI’m the one that drives awayThen follows you back homeI am a street light shiningI’m a wild light blinding brightBurning off aloneIt’s times like these you learn to live againIt’s times like these you give and give againIt’s times like these you learn to love againIt’s times like these time and time againI am a new day risingI’m a brand new skyTo hang the stars upon tonightI am a little dividedDo I stay or run awayAnd leave it all behind? It’s times like these you learn to live againIt’s times like these you give and give againIt’s times like these you learn to love againIt’s times like these time and time again
can`t you even see through me? `` Saturday, September 22, 2007
