*~* "It's twilight," Edward noted. "It's the safest time for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way... the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don't you think?" *~*
*~* "I like the night," Bella replied.
"Without the dark, we'd never see the stars." *~*
Today is band SYF 2009, I wasn't nervous at all because this is my third time attending SYF.
I didn't have lesson today and I felt that the time passed really quickly when I am not attending lessons.
I still couldn't play accent on certain notes but I tried my best.
At the end of performance, quite a number of people asked what do I think we will get and my first answer was bronze.
It's not that I'm trying to bring them down by not thinking of silver but from the way they played - the number of mistakes and going out of tune, I think chances of getting silver is already almost impossible.
Also, I think they ask me that question maybe is because this is my third time attending SYF.
The results was out and we really get a bronze, I didn't guess wrongly.
Anyway after SYF I went out with Ming Chuan.
I went to Bugis first to get my 'missing' colour pencil but the shop owner said that that colour pencil set was really out of stock and he couldn't change a new one for me until a new box come.
After that we walked to Suntec and I bought FBT shorts because I am going to play basketball at Bryan's house and it will be quite a number of times - for the sake of slimming down and growing tall.
After that went window shopping, I suddenly thought of I didn't have my lunch and I wanted to have my dinner.
We went down to B1 where all the food is and suddenly there is this old lady who called out to Ming Chuan for help.
He was curious and so kind hearted he went to help.
The old lady said something like "Escort me to the taxi stand, I'm not coming here tomorrow"
Ming Chuan was curious and he was too kind hearted that he didn't dare to let go of the lady and still asked her "why?" but she didn't reply him.
The old lady grabbed his arm tightly.
She walked really slow and I thought of walking in front is a little weird because I couldn't see where are they going and so I stopped and walked behind them.
Strange thing is, the taxi stand is at the first floor, up the stairs and escalator.
I knew something was not right.
After walking for like quite a distance, a man tapped my shoulder and told me "hey, please don't go near this old lady. She is crazy, she comes here everyday and asks people to escort her to taxi stand but actually she will just keep walking round and round the basement."
I replied "but my friend is like a victim now! What should I do?!" and he said "grab your friend and run" then he walked away.
The distance between me and Ming Chuan was quite far already and I think telling him that the lady is crazy to his face is dangerous because I don't know what the old lady will do to him or me so I called him.
I told him that the old lady is crazy and tell him to just leave her there and he said something like "but I couldn't just leave her" and I asked "Is she grabbing you really tight?" and he said "Ya."
I stood there, stunned, thinking of ways to 'rescue' him out of the awkward situation.
After awhile, from far, I saw him telling the old lady something and he was somewhat pissed.
I saw the old lady stopped walking immediately after he made her let go of him.
I could tell that he wasn't happy and I asked him how he get rid of the old lady and he said something like "I realised that she will be walking round and round without stopping so I just tell her that I have something important to do and I have to go. Then I just walk away."
He was really pissed and I told him that no point of him being angry with her because she is mentally ill and she might not know what is she doing - including she doesn't even know she offended people.
I didn't know what to say to him and how to comfort him because I was lost for words and he walked really fast.
Slowly, I was influenced and affected by his mood - I too was moody already at that point.
After that we went to City Hall MRT and took a stop back to Bugis.
Then had dinner, this time he was too fast and I didn't have the chance to pay my own food.
After that I saw this really cute mouse pad and I really want it so I decided to buy it, though it's a little too expensive.
-Picture of the mouse pad will be in next post.
He was too fast and he paid for it again.
I tried to pay him back but he kept pushing it away then I tried to put it in his bag but he reacted really quickly and he 'protected' his bag.
After that when we are at the escalator, I struggle to give him the $12 and he accidentally caught it.
Then he tried to give it back to me but failed because when I was at my block downstairs I ran into the lift.
However, he caught up and went in with me.
He grabbed my hand and tried to put it in my hand but I ran out of the lift and said "bye bye" then walk away.
I know he don't dare to escort me all the way until outside my door.
Anyway, today can say is a unlucky day because I nearly lost my wallet.
That's about it.
-I am so lost in my own thoughts. I no longer clearly know what is right and wrong. I couldn't sort out my feelings. Recently I have been feeling really down and all I could feel was the feeling of crying out loud. Why did this happen..? This problem started since 25/12/08....
*~*There are things in life that are inevitable. Though it's tough and avoiding always seems the only solution. The real truth is facing it will make it better.*~*
