ten to seven

*10 days to go*
initial day, hello singapore !
1230, arrived at changi, directly went to city hall (using MRT, of course), it costed me about $1.5 *very cheap i think*. arrived there, i walked through the underground malls to Suntec Mall (the only mall i could remember in singapore, haha)

first stop, HMV! wow, that’s what i call music/film stations! a lot of cds, dvds, blue-rays, music/film magazines, and things related to it. my eyes spotted on DVD Music Life sections, then i browsed there. as i had guessed before, i saw a lot of pop-music dvds that not available (yet) in jakarta, let’s say Celine Dion’s, Take That’s, and ‘the others’ (i forgot :p)

didnt find what i want, i moved on to DVD Sport sections. wow again. there were many dvds about basketball, football, wrestling, aerobic, yoga, and so on. wow ! then my eyes saw something sparkling (or it’s just on my eyes??) : LEGENDS – Jordan, Johnson, Bird *shining eyes * :p yeahh ! i took the box set, looked at it (i think my eyes got bigger at that time? haha), and made my (rushing) mind up that i wanted this box ! but, the price.. quite expensive looo..

[hmm.. at the moment, please tell me, is there any corelation between EYES, MIND, and MONEY? haha.. ]

well, i put the box back on the shelves (though i turned out buying it later :p ) i kept on looking the other dvds.. wow deh.. wow deh.. wow deh.. as far as i can recall now, there were Wade’s, Ming’s, another box sets of NBA best performance, Bulls’/Lakers’ Dynasty, and so on and so on *sigh* i was stucked 30mins there.. then i continued my journey, never missed to check in all bookstores on its way to Suntec to see what new-release books and magazines.

o m m.. 1500 already???? wot thee.. time past away so fast, huh! i need to go back to hotel as i promised to be there at 1600. so yeah, i just visited Tower Five for nothing but my-hurt-feet at suntec :p

= end of day-one =


next day, hunting day !
after i listed on my destination, departed 1030, here was my trip :
wow, what a bookstore is Kinokuniya. what books are you looking for? you name it, type it in on computer, BANG, it’s there! As someone ‘assigned’ me to find CS Lewis’ books, BANG, they’re all there.. plus (i guess) all the other of his books. hanged around there (about) 1-2 hours, then i went off to

Borders, i thought it’s gonna be as wow as Kino, but it’s not. i couldnt find the CS Lewis’ books there. and also, the store is a bit smaller than Kino, but i guess it still okey as you name it a bookstore. the interesting part was as i walked out there, there were two desks, laid on them banners : BUY 2 for 3 *crink crink crink*
wandering and wondering for about 10 mins, i found 3 books that i interested in. thought about grabbing those books then *TENG TONG* i remembered.. i have the 3rd book (in indonesian language). re-thinking and thinking and thinking, i made up my mind (for sure) just to buy the 1st book, the one that my eyes really really really had on (hints: it’s about diary) *hihi*

subsequently at Suntec, what a coincidence, i found the 3rd book store, it was Harris/Popular bookstore *surpriseee*. hmm, my comments : it’s just like Karisma bookstore, but they arranged it nicely plus a stationary section just like Gramedia. then [beep beep.. you have one new message] ouchh.. there was another assignment to find ‘stylish’ book *haha*.. lucky lucky.. Harris has it (and it turned out cheaper than Borders’ :p) lucky you lucky you!

huahhh, 1630! i got to go back. if i wasn’t home on time, there’s gonna be no (free) dinner for me, haha..

= end of my-poor-feet day =


last day, shopping day
starting popped in at HMV, i bought a sixty-minutes-journey of Pete Sampras in Wimbledon (cool for him! won total 14 grandslam titles, including 7 wimbledon titles); went to Kino lessened CS Lewis stock there; and back to Borders for ‘the diary’. followed by met up with my couz’, then i had my starter MOS Burger pack for $3.70, hoho.. it was delicioussss.. we took a what-i-call-“omm my feet massages” around orchard, continued to golby something *i forgot* just visited Gramaphone, continued to lucky plaza for another MOS *o yeah* then going back for hotel.

btw, do u know there is a shopping terminal in Changi? i just realized it when my couz’ told me, haha.. it’s Terminal 3. Though quite empty at that time, i believe it wont be in the following years. to end my 3-days trip, we had dinner at downtown food court.. haha.. i dont know its name.. but i remember where it was (just one level down from Burger King)

goodbye Changi.. welcome (back) Soekarno-Hatta.. back to reality.. *huh*
*7 days left*

= end of day-3 =
