the day after the long friday that feels like saturday

Yesterday was the most fulfilling day since my knee surgery. Travelled to Ubi (check out prints), then to Upper Paya Lebar(collect my flyers) then to Geylang East(check out prints). Fulfilling because it was all packed and planned and executed accordingly. Its also the longest period of time i have spent with my brother on work related issues together. :) 

After the hard work comes miscellaneous and leisure stuff. Went to the packed like 10 cans of sardines in a single can of sardine, sardine Pc show to get "something". To cut it short, we spent  a long 40mins standing at the booth deciding whether to get that "something". There were some funny remakes along the way thou, "how about a free battery rather than a free CF card", "how about a free lens", "he must have told people the wrong info the entire day on the 1st day of the show". Anyway, we decided, got things moving, burnt a big hole and life goes on.....

Around 9.30, head to orchard while my brother went back to studio. Said hi to val at her roadshow and went on to find a place to wait for her. I sat outside heeran's skin couture dropping all my bags and backpack like as though i just finish a 24km road march. After about 15 mins, i went to starbucks, got a seat and having a addictive mocha frap. Ordered a venti do that i can share with val too. Then, i took out my laptop and start surfing for some sites on local steamboat eateries to find out about their closing times, etc. Having a laptop on the go really help kill time when you are just hoping it passes faster. 

11.10pm, i walked back to the roadshow area. Some punk dressed smartly in shirt and shorts with some tattoos over almost gotten into a fight. His age and probably his group of friends probably made him want to rush into some adrenaline feel of hitting/fighting someone. He was persistent at getting at his "opponent", he thinks he is going to be a hero.... Yah right....I can break his limps anytime. Go home and get some self help i was thinking. Anyway, met val and headed to Liang Seah for steamboat. Steamboat is like the most convenient food to prepare and eat in my household. Val loves it too....good thing. 13.90 after 10.30pm, good stuff. I ordered my regular pattern of 2 set of beef and 2 set of pork at a time till the waitress understood what we want when i just call for her. Ate alot for the night and its time to head home. (i wrote in details because for me it was really a fruitful day and its a day to be remembered).

Finally, saturday. Don't feel like doing anything, just feel like dreaming. Dreaming allows you to reach the unreachable and makes you feel like a better person.
