I'm tired. Well, my whole body feels tired. Been out the whole day.
Train rides are fun. I feel independent riding it. It feels cliched, but riding the train while listening to music blasting into my ears is extremely liberating. I felt so student-like and all. Exactly like those uni students you see in the movies with their headphones plugged into their ears or playing with their handphones and reading novels and magazines. This may not be new to most people but I feel like I've been traveling by train quite often for the past few weeks. Trains are strangely quiet too. I imagined the trains to be noisier or at least more bustly. I suppose this being Malaysia, you can't expect too much from the trains here emulating the style and feel in New York or London. I should've brought a camera along with me today. I could've snapped away happily at the nuances and goings-on on the train. You observe a lot of things when you've nothing to do but lull away to the relaxing music pumped into your head. I should remember to bring a camera along with me more often whenever I go out. That way whenever I get the urge to take a candid shot or just a simple random shot of anything, I'll always have my trusty camera with me. Photographing is fun too.
That's the boring part of today's post done. What did I do today?
Visited Alwin and Wai Chuen's Uniten campus today at Kajang/Serdang. Adelynn, Nic and I, I mean. They managed to rent a Kancil car to drive us around. Good thing that five of us could squeeze into it. Got the "grand" tour of the place before lunching at this "champion" place (as Alwin dubbs it). The salad "kai" or chicken tasted particularly good and tasty along with the fried tofu and chili sauce dipping. After that, we headed to this new shopping mall called Alamanda at Putrajaya. I didn't get to buy anything, though there was this red linen pants that I was eyeing for, because I didn't have enough cash. I've never felt so broke in my life before today. Sigh. Even spending another RM10 for my fave Orange Julius smoothie would mean burning a hole in my purse. That's how broke I was today. Double sigh. Anywho, I got two facial masks in the end for my own selfish pleasure for when I've nothing to do and I need to feel pampered a little. We scoured the mall for an hour plus browsing through shops without buying anything more. I think the salespersons felt slightly offended that I went inside this shop twice but came out with no purchases. Oh well, I could've showed them my empty purse to prove that my purchasing power is really zero.
Ended the day with a long train ride back listening to more music and looking (trying to look) all college-student-like with my sling bag and appearing nonchalant and ignoring the stares at my black nails. Ah well. Oh and Gabry's white grape juice tastes good. All sparkly like and kind of sticks to your throat after you finish it.
I need a full day tomorrow to recuperate after today's adventure. Will probably be spending it lazing around at home while soaking up television and computer rays and reading my delicious "Chocolat" novel.
