Initially today i felt like a pathetic loser. I asked my gals if they were free today coz i wanted to shop for some stuff for prom. I planned to head down to Bugis yet again, thats why i didnt ask some of the a101 girls. See, we already spent so much time in Bugis (so it wont be great to be cranked up in Bugis again, HAHA).

I don't usually go out alone. But today was just an exception. My mom couldnt go out with me coz the brother had to be looked after, since the elder one wasn't back home from work yet. Anyways, i paced myself in Bugis. Walked around the bend of Bugis Street, managed to get myself a mask for prom! (Prom theme: MASQUERADE) It's only $1.80. I got it from the birthday party shop place. Later i got some undergarment stuff that i needed, to go with the prom dress. Then i headed inside the flea market and got myself a nice top for only 5 bucks (how good can that get?). It's a pretty white dress-like top (that goes with leggings sort) with floral designs on it. Yeap, i think im becoming more and more girlish (or feminine) as I grow older. I mean, I used to be one of those who just put on a tee and jeans. But now, i find myself adoring more texture/design/colour/dresses and other stuff which may relate to the feminine stuff. Gee, I AM A GIRL after all. Anyways, then i went into the sticker shop and got a sticker for the elder bro (as a form of an advanced gift for his b'day). It's a sticker which says FEAR FACTOR. Well it's for his car that is. Hope he likes it.

Anyway then i headed over to City hall area. I went to this new favourite shop of mine called bargain centre (or some sort like that. I bought an air freshener (for the car again), shades for the mom (well she insisted on getting one for her), shavers (for self-use) and also a box of hello panda (for self-consumption too). As i was walking out of the shop towards the MRT, i saw this dude who looked exactly like a guy i knew. Well, as i walked past him our eyes met, my heart skipped a beat (literally i think). I actually thought of greeting him (thinking that it was him la of course). But then he didnt show any sign of recollection what so ever (well we were strangers to each other i guess). Then within that whole 2 seconds, i just conceded. He walked off, i took the chance to just turn and see if he would turn. But no, i guess it was just a wrong person. Haiz. And another crazy thing is that, before this happened, this Chinese 15 year old boy approached me and asked me this,

Boy: "Hi, do you believe in giving 2nd chances to ex-convicts?"
Me: "Erm...I guess so" (pardon me for the slight hesitance, i was just taken aback by that random qn!)

Well the boy was just doing his CIP thing i guess, selling pens in support of the yellow-ribbon project (or some sort like that). Then i said,

Me: "Sorry maybe next time yeah" (I was already going broke you see)
Boy: "It's just 2 dollars! Anyway you look very pretty!"

WTH??? I just said sorry and left.

So when i was getting home, i thought about all that happened. The boy in petition for giving ex-cons a 2nd chance (well, more of just doing his CIP) and the guy who walked past me. Argh, all this inter-connecting shit! "Whatever" I thought. The prince has been away aeons ago, but smalls things like these crop up and remind me of what used to be a mere illusion.

So anyway now i'm back home. I spent close to 40 bucks today. Yeah. Come to think of it, shopping alone can be rather nice and therapeutic. I guess i wouldn't mind going out again, alone that is. haha
