Missed!
I can’t believe May Ann and I missed our train back to Malaysia yesterday!! Well, it’s not like I haven’t missed my train or coaches before but with May Ann around, this kinda incident shouldn’t have happened. For some reasons, hehe, I think she’s rather organized. By saying that, I don’t literally mean that I am not organized, ok?
Anyway, I missed the coaches to London TWICE on the same day before! I was 2 minutes late and the coach driver drove away without me! Lucky thing, you see, in Europe, you get refund for almost everything you buy except food and cosmetics. I got to the ticket counter and got myself another ticket to London at a later time that day. What else better to do than going to bookshop when you have almost 2 hours at your expense? Well, I headed to WaterStone and lost myself in the world of literature. Oh well, when I hurried to the waiting bay, I managed to catch a glimpse of my coach driving away in the cold winter afternoon. There goes the second couch! Learnt my lesson, again, I headed back to WaterStone (you see, I just can’t get enough of books) and this time round, I waited at the waiting bay a good 10 minutes before the scheduled time.
It is pretty understandable, isn’t it? Get yourself totally engrossed reading a good book and hence forget about the time… I won’t be too hard on myself for that matter.But yesterday, May Ann and I were supposed to quickly grabbed Shearn’s white shirt from a shop and headed back to Becky’s pick up our luggage and straight to the train station. We sorta have everything planned out but not for long. When we set foot into the entrance of the shop, I am not sure if I was thinking about anything else but to get my hands on those lovely lovely blouse. I swear I wasn’t gonna shop!! I barely touch anything until I saw May Ann holding a blouse and rushing to the fitting room. Okay, maybe I missed out a liiiiiiiiitle bit of detail… I was actually trying on a blazer when May Ann and Becky were busy looking for Shearn’s white shirt *grinning sheepishly* But the point is, I never really wanted that blazer anyway.
The funniest thing was, May Ann kept mentioning that we were behind time and would miss the train but none of us willing to give up trying one last piece of blouse in the fitting room. I’m not sure how many LAST blouse did we try on… haha.. girls… I ended up buying 5 blouses and May Ann 2. Our train was scheduled to be at 1.05 pm and guess what, we were still in the mall at 1.02 pm. Great…3 min to rush to the train station at lunch hour… The rest is history. May Ann and I came back by bus at the end. We had to come up with a few convincing white lies to cover up the fact that we missed our train. I couldn’t lie to mum and I confessed to her later last night… hehe, lucky me…nothing happened. I think she must be really happy that I got her a blouse!
I wonder what would happen to us, 2 shopaholics if Bryan, May Ann’s friend was not there. He was running about to get us tickets. You see, these 2 girls hadn’t really taken bus before… I wonder, really, what would have become of us if he wasn’t there! Byran made sure we got into our bus and then he left. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Bryan, I now pronouced you my friend 
He he…and Shearn, your 30 bucks is now confiscated. If wasn’t your white shirt, we wouldn’t go into a totaly shopping frenziness and we wouldn’t have missed the train!! Your bad, your bad!
What a holiday! You bet I enjoyed myself! This is just part of the many interesting things we did. My eyelids are really getting too heavy to hold up… I’ll tell other bits of my lil’ holiday in Singapore soon (including party at MOS and day out in Sentosa Island!)
Shearn, I know you are reading this. Aren’t you feeling very guilty now? There is still time to make it up to us *laughing wickedly* Free lunch will be good… *hint hint*
