Crazy Thursday

Crazy, crazy Thursday.

Tuition in the afternoon.

A slow lunch, followed by a little bit of shopping at Bugis. Hastily, a decision was made to watch New Moon.





New Moon was crazy. It snuggled in its niche of slightly crappy acting, incoherent storylines, pretty people and cheesy dialogue. I loved that the four of us were disgusted at the same things at the same time. There were completely unnecessary scenes, memorable lines.

I remember hearing Edward say, "Leaving you is the most difficult thing that I've had to do in the last 100 years."

He must not have done much.



For all the wrong reasons, it was terribly entertaining. Go in with very low expectations and you will not be disappointed. Well unless you're 12.



After that we had free Starbucks. It was awesome. The staff were really making it happen. The queue was long and we thought that we might not be able to get our drink as it was nearing 7pm. However the staff were determined to get serve as many people as possible and they were really into the entire Christmas thing. It was fantastic and it made my day. Starbucks 1. Every other coffee place 0.





The action moved to 313@Somerset, which like New Moon, opened that day. Uniqlo managed Asian sensibilities and kicked the ass of other clothing chains. There was a queue to get in to the store. There was a queue to the cashier. The queues were formidable, like at least a hundred people in each one. None of us came out empty-handed.



Ness made us take a photo with Santa Clause. It was free and it came with a Canon-printed photo.

I am very entertained by all the gimmicks that made shopping such an awesome national pasttime. But I need to stop because I am not making any money. It's quite a torture knowing that the only exciting things that happen in Singapore are new malls and more shopping.
