two words that have nothing to do with each other, but when put together actually mean something! in fact, if you put enough thought into it, both words have nothing to do with having no money in your pocket, even when put together. 'tis also something i am, what with the constant visits to the Mall for the only two things worth whiling away at when one is in Gadong: the movies or the pool place.
not that i'm complaining or anything, the past week was full of Mall trips, and hence full of fun. yeah, no kidding, my person was within the vicinity of the Mall at least once a day for the past week except on wednesday. no matter, i went yesterday once more to compensate. also, walking about aimlessly in the Mall with a cold drink in the right hand and ePood in the left is much more fun than bumming around at home, waking up in the morning only to go back to sleep again at night.
how much can one do at the Mall? obviously it's different for each person; i haven't the money for the Arcade, i think Fitness Zone is shit, and i'm not muslim enough for the Surau. anyway, here's a recap of my previous week, if you haven't closed the window yet:
monday: walked over to the Mall from my mum's salon (where my ma cuts her hair, not one that she owns) where i had my haircut. the lady was my ma's friend so she would apparently snip my locks-to-be in a less gruesome manner than, say, the Indian barbers. plus i could tell her how i wanted my hair much easier. boy, communicating with the Indians was quite the ordeal.
tuesday: played pool with Rory at in the late evening / early at night. good fun, but i stank as usual. at pool, that is. joseph dropped by to play for a bit too. he actually stank, seeing how he just finished Fitness Zone-ing at the time.
wednesday: stayed home alone while the rest of my famfam went out, and for reasons i can't recall.
thursday: almost immediately after my driving lesson, went to DST and sorted out the issue about my SIM card locking itself away from me with some PUK code, then off to the Mall to watch Hot Fuzz. another hour of pool after that.
friday: met up with Rory at the Mall to sort out certain issues regarding 'activities' we can do instead of bumming around watching our lives deteriorate. and no, not pool this time. saw Lin Ji walking about too. poor girl decided to take an off day to hang out with her friends, had it all planned, but all amounted to something a little more chaotic in the end, or so she said.
saturday: at midday, went to Incomm to get myself a spankin' swanky new mobly!! a Sony Ericsson K320i in light brown. that's what the box says anyway, looks kinda bronze-y to me. good stuff, finally can let my old phone, the PIN-blocker, rest for good. in the evening, after church, went back thinking i was to be hanging out with Naji, turns out he had an impromptu training session and couldn't make it.
sunday: played pool with Rory and Naji, after double- and triple-checking the fact that he'll be coming. had a good time with them balls and sticks, then walked about for like half an hour after we were done, waiting for our 'rents. poor Naj, got his license, but still has his parented limits.
monday: played pool with Rory and Izzy in the evening. more fun with balls, sticks and holes. the table, too. went to the Pasar Malam to buy some dindin. we were giving Rory a lift home, so he got some grub too. Nasi Katok. yum <3.
and like that, a week's gone by. nothing substantially different between today and tuesday last, apart from the fact my wallet is devoid of dosh. what's next? unfortunately, not everyone's a fan of Transformers, even though it looks so cool. pool never gets boring, but having only one thing to do every day is.
ahhh, school.
