Centrepoint

After Canaanland Celebration I drove to the city. I wanted to park the car at the side of Marina Court Condo and walked over to Centrepoint. But there was no parking space left. I drove further to in front of the Condo and found one.

I wanted to go to the opto shop which belongs to my cousin’s cousin Fai. But when I arrived at the shop that I thought was where the opto shop is located, it was no longer there. I enquired at the Information Desk which is not far away and the staff does not know where the shop had relocated to. I was disappointed since I came all the way and I do not have Fai’s mobile number.

Normally after that I would just walk out cos I would have no mood to window shop. But I just thought of making a round at the next lane of shops. As I made my round, I saw the opto shop I was looking for. I mistook its location.

Fai had gone out and therefore I had to go window shopping before he came back.

(I was thinking when I did not have a driving licence yet, almost every Saturday after work I would take the bus to go to the city for shopping. Now that I can drive, I no longer go shopping simply cos I loathe traffic congestion and searching for parking bay. And I would not even dare to go up any of the shopping centres to park the car)

To pass time, I looked at the netbooks and mobile phones available at Centrepoint.

On the way back to the opto shop, I bumped into a friend. We chit-chatted and when I told her I met her one of her ex-colleagues recently, she suggested that we should get together. I shook my head. She was surprised and asked ‘How come no sparks?’.

(Ok for some reasons, a lot of my friends are worried about me just cos I am still available. Some of them have been introducing their friends to me while others will mention I should get together with this or that person. I am really flabbergasted)

When I went back to the opto shop, Fai was not back yet. Therefore I asked his staff to give me his mobile number.

While waiting for him to come back, I decided to walk over to San Francisco Coffee to takeaway a couple of chicken pies. But alas the staff at SF Coffee told me they only had them available at 3p.m. I found some other food to takeaway for afternoon tea at a shop in Centrepoint.

When I went back to the shop, Fai was back. I showed him the slip-ons for my spectacles which were broken. I was glad he could help while others could not.

He is waiting for a new batch of Polaroid slip-ons to arrive, though they would not fit my spectacles perfectly but at least I do not have to get a new pair of spectacles yet. Fai will contact me once he gets them.

Mum came home alone on the coach from SDK yesterday. She was happy when I arrived home with afternoon tea.
