It was totally a bad way to start the supposedly refreshing Friday, after recovering from the weariness that had accumulated to its peak throughout the week. I had planned my schedule well, and set my alarm clock in my HP at 6:50am. Much to my disbelief, my sub-conscious disinclination to get out of bed got the better of me. Simply put, I overslept. It's amazing how I could still keep my calm when I realised the time was 7:45am, carried on to brush my teeth, and ate my normal breakfast of 4 pieces of bread and milo. Perhaps, it was in my knowing that a Taxi ride to Marina Square for the Battalion Bash wouldn't last more than half an hour. After sprucing up my disheveled appearance and booking a Comfort Taxi, I made my way hurriedly down to the void deck, and conveniently forgetting to bring the laundry (for Gary) along. I had to apologise to him and TY, since I had agreed to walk the latter down to Marina Square from City Hall MRT.
I thought I was well in time, but I guess my streak of bad luck didn't quite end there. 10 minutes into the ride, we met with a traffic jam on AYE and as the time ticked on, my heart began beating faster. I was trying to allay my anxiety by SMS-ing people to ask for the situation at GV Marina and whether CO had arrived. The phone call by Mark to declare that he was late too was assuring. Nonetheless, I was counting the seconds and cursing under my breath as the Taxi neared Marina Square. Eventually, I was glad that I made it there still on time to catch the old movie "Windtalkers" (albeit late by half an hour, ie reach at 9:15) yet was annoyed at the exorbitant $28.70 taxi fare (which included $4.00 for booking, $3.50 for ERP, and $1.00 for peak hour). I could have watched 3 better movies with the money (not that the movie wasn't good but it was not to my liking) and I reckon I might actually reach earlier if I had taken public transport.
Anyway, some trivialities yesterday. I played 2 consistent games of bowling, and even broke my PB once again (the scores stand at 122 and 105 respectively). Yeah! After bowling, Gary, Yongjie, Teddy and me went on for a pool session, but I sucked at the game, never putting much effort into analyzing the angle of the cue and stuffs like that.
Decided that I had to utilize my Friday to its maximum and made arrangements to catch "The Date Movie" with Eugene at JP. Though I couldn't comprehend the humour elements in the movies as much as Eugene did (because he was more familiar with movies and the Hollywood or English ShowBiz Entertainment), I nonetheless enjoyed the hilarious acting and the attempts to figure out what Eugene was laughing about. Haha.
