Teacher's day visit. Eventful? No.

Teacher's day visit was.. bla.

I knew sherman kor was gonna be late or something. So I went even later. Scarly he sms me this message "FUCK! I estimate the time wrongly! I'm gonna be later!"

Clever me, I expected that and thus I slowly dilly dally. By the time I reached Bartley, he was only like 1 minute before me.

So.. the good news. We reached Bartley on time as planned.

And.. the bad news, we barred from entering because ex-Bartleyans are a civilized lot that is uberly well-mannered and responsible young adults.

WRONG!

We were barred for the EXACT opposite reason. Apparently, the security guard claimed that last year a fight went on and so this year, WE are the ones who are blamed and thus diallowed from entering till all the ignorant, young and innocent goody goody students had left. DUMB reason.

I collected my testimonial and my cert. The comments were really nice and of course being "polite and well-mannered", as claimed in my testimonial, I said my thanks.

Also in my testimonial, it said that Derrick is a good student who appears to be a deep thinker. Okay, this is totally true. Serious!

"Derrick displays a strong personal commitment in everything he does." - This statement is also true. I was totally committed to get out of Bartley and head for lunch as soon as I could and this can be seen in the way I constantly nagged at Sherman and my enthusiasm when I hailed for Abel and Dai Ling to follow me as I head towards the school exit.

The testimonial was full of my praises. Most of which were totally true. *grin*
No hoax here!

Dwelling too long in Bartley was a no and a no and another no followed by yet another no and end with a left-right motion of my head.

Next stop was my mother's office, Sherman & Dai Ling followed me there to collect money. Okok. I know what you have in mind, but hey, I'm broke man and I was on an errant to help my mum buy her things as well.

After which was Velocity where I practically browsed every single food outlet and still couldn't decide on one. We went to multiple places and I kept changing my mind. I know I was being super fickle minded that's why Sherman was groaning all the way.

Eventually we settled for Han's. And the food sucked anyway. I ordered Salmon Linguine and a float and some side dish. Cost only $20.

But hey, I can cook much better man. The salmon was totally an insult to salmon itself. Gee. Sucky meal but one shall not complain when food is available.

Affter meal, dragged sent DL off, dragged Sherman to Funan Mall with me where I bought 2 laptop coolers. One for mum and one for yours truly, himself.

Earpiece was next on the list. Bought Creative EP 630 for $38.90 and the sound quality was pretty unexpected.... in a good way. I mean, it isn't exactly that good but it was also above my expectation so I'm still pretty satisfied.

Sherman couldn't get the comics he wanted so we headed back to City Hall, went up to some comics-i-dono-what-name de shop and he eventually got what he wanted for only 20+ bucks. Those comics were meant to be at least 30. Man.. what a steal. Bet he isn't gonna whine about me dragging him all around Singapore. I mean, I did make him travel quite a bit.

Done with everything, I headed down to Junction 8 to catch 4bia with Sala.

4bia isn't exactly that nice nor is it even close to being scary. Its like a short trailer of 4 different scenes. Kinda unexpected but I think.. it's still alright.

Saw suzan and uncle @ fairprice. Chatted a little. Hang out a little more. Then home sweet home for me.

My eyes still hurt and worst of all, it itch like mad. Screw the sense of 'feel'.
