Last Thursday I went to collect my pre-ordered schoolbooks & items.
Immediately after purchasing them, I went to alter my school pants with my mom.
Those extremely baggy & loose pants were getting on my nerves when they became prone to dropping off any minute without a belt on.
Also, I realized that I had practically shrunk. In size.
My aunt even complimented me on that when I went to my grandparents's house to get the dishes my grandma prepared for my family, as my new maid wasn't much of a cook.(although she's forced to learn how to sooner or later, she's PAID for her job.)
Went to Tampines Mall to get my shoes for school at converse later on.
An then the following day, Friday, I got up early but dozed off again soon after.
When I got up, it was about time I headed to Masjid Al-Istighfar for my Friday Prayers.
After Friday Prayers, my mom & sis came to fetch me & we were off to the airport to send 2 of my cousins, paternal grandmom & their maid off.
They were going to Jakarta earlier & would meet us there on Monday when we would be arriving.
Had a very late lunch with Uncle & Busu & my adorable baby cousins Zia & Zara at T2's Burger King, after taking a ride in the skytrain from t3 where we sent them off.
My mom blanjah-ed all of us the lunch, & even bought a small gift for my baby cousins - A windspin-wheel thingamajig.
My gosh, they treated it as though it was a sparkly diamond.
=.= I got bored of writing in my usual continuous form, thus the change. Don't worry, there'll still be a bit more drama left in this post...
"When a girl glances at you, she wants you to look at her & smile :)"
Ever come across such a 'theory'? I'm the kind who actually reads my mail but never forwards it, so I'm familiar with most of the junk I've been receiving.
Well, that Thursday in the converse shop, while I was engrossed searching for a decent pair of white sneakers, I noticed the salesgirl, presumably 16, glancing at me. I looked away, ignoring her. I only started to feel weird when I caught her glancing at me twice as I was choosing a pencil case to buy. It wasn't a blatant stare, I assure you. It was a short glance accompanied by a slight smile. & Then she turned away, somehow shy I would see. I merely pretended that I wasn't looking, my long fringe concealing my gaze. So yeah, the 3rd time she glanced at me, I finally looked up and caught her glancing at me. Curious to see if the theory was true somehow or rather, I took the first step out of my usual rather diffident demeanor & made eye contact with her, smiling as I gazed past her hazel eyes. =.= Okay now I'm sounding like a love-struck sappy romance novelist. Ugh. Putrid. =P
Anyway, she smiled back sincerely, seemingly happy, & blushed a scarlet red as I said Hi to her. Mom & sis were there as well, & they said she was checking me out? Wdf. Never have I experienced such a thing -.- My silly step toward being more extroverted proved so far that the theory was, in a way, correct.
After that, I had this weird feeling & left the shop with what I wanted-The 2 pairs of schoolshoes, & more self-confidence, & what I didn't want-A badly chosen pencil case for next year which was too small. -.-
The next day Friday, a similar incident occured. I almost bumped into a young lady as I was walking around a corner in T3. I got a shock as I almost bumped into her; I was rather absorbed in listening to songs on my iPod while walking making a trip to the loo. I remember yelling "OH MY WORD" out aloud, perhaps due to my extreme shock; imagine walking while swtiching tracks on your music player & then some babe just appears in your path as you're still making your way to a toilet O_O. I was extremely embarrassed by my "OH MY WORD" that I yelped in shock. I apologized 3 times & said something that was uttered mindlessly, "Sorry if I hurt your delicate ears.". She giggled & said, "Don't worry, I listen to screamo everyday... & sorry if I startled you." Hahahah. We pardoned each other as we smiled at each other like idiots for a few seconds.
Although most of you extroverts already know what its like & will call me silly for being overly concious about this matter, but to me its a big step to being more gragarious from what I used to be-the diffident, quiet, introverted, & modest yound lad.People won't know you unless you let them know, wisely or frivolously. These 2 experiences have certainly sorta 'inspired' me to be more extroverted myself. I guess I'll slowly be working on the self-confidence that I'm hoping to exude in a good fashion. Although not all people seem to be friendly or polite, you can be happy about those who are though! :D
P.S O.o THIS WAS THE WACKIEST WEEK I'VE HAD SINCE GOD KNOWS WHEN! o.O
