today i went on a search for two presents for two special people, at parkway parade, after an expensive lunch at thai express which was only expensive because its valentine's day. that's alright though, i did have the company of two great friends, which should have been four, but always look on the bright side of life.
i came back with one (present), and it wasnt the original item i'd set out to get, but it was nonetheless an excellent alternative. and i searched high and low and couldn't find the second present i was looking for. i walked around without an aim, playing with ideas that kept popping up in my head and i stopped at mph for close to an hour, because did you know? they have a dvd/vcd rental service and music store within the mph. i stopped at the magazine section cos i saw a magazine with the perfect title, for one of the 2 special people, but it was wrapped, and costly for something who's (who-used for people, but is there such a thing as which's?) contents i could not judge. i slit a bit of the plastic wrapper, just a line down the side so that i could take a peek into its contents, and i realised that it wasnt what i wanted or rather what i'd had in mind, and pondered why it was still on sale since it was the january issue. but i figured that's only cos the feb issue isn't out yet.
iit also hit me that there is a difference between levi's and levy's, something simple that i should have realised when i was surfing the net a few nights ago. but people don't take note of the little things as much as they should.
i spent quite a while listening to this album, it was a 3 cds for the price of one offer, something about the best collection of latin guitar. since i'd had to ask for special permission to listen to the cds, i figured i might as well check them out well and good instead of just buying them, tempting as it was at such a good price. at first i thought hell yeah this is a good one, then after listening to it for like 20 minutes, (which is a mighty long time might i add, considering i was standing with a guyton, my adidas sling, and that one present i'd just bought, plus the flower which i must say has gone through a rough time) i thought maybe not, and i wanted to return it to the counter but i felt a tad guilty about not buying it after listening to all 3 cds, albeit selected tracks. but yeah, i returned it. it didn't seem like the perfect choice.
and so i went on to try an obtain the present i had in mind, that had all along seemed to be one of two of the best ideas, but hell no, i couldnt find it. they didn't have it. i requested they check to see if their branch at orchard sold it, but nope they didn't either. and then i had a second stroke of brilliance (the first was the alternative first present) and messaged this classmate of mine from rgs, who would definitely know where i could get it. and i haven't talked to her in 2 years, approx. but where's the wrong in that. the only thing i could see going wrong was, her number might've changed.
but i got a reply, and a good one at that, but this was after i'd made two 100 calls to find out the numbers of two other retail branches (the second retail branch was recommended by the saleslady at the first retail branch). and anyway, these two calls helped narrow down my search, and my exclassmate's message served to confirm it.
now why hadn't i done this before? it seemed so much simpler, to just make a few calls and check first. why was it that i didn't mind walking around instead, while i think this out? i suspect i know the reason, but nevermind. why talk about something that has been so talked about (yes, by me and others around me)? (*)
well anyway, the mph vcd/dvd rental shop inspired me to stop at the nearby dvd rental shop (near my house) and i got Crash, and A la Folie, pas du Tout (someting like that).
and i bought chng tng for my family.
and i came home, slept, woke up to eat dinner, and Crash.
and now here i sit. and i need to do my anatomy tutorial, and i need to prep for tmr's school and aftersch studying plan.
and i dont know why you read all of this, but since you did i conclude that it's either the same reason as this (*), or you simply love me too much. but thanks anyway, ya'll. i think.
i did have a point to all this really, but its much too deep to develop on blogger. and i'm so so tired?
