Rise of the mini TaiTais

Just came back from a short trip down town... Got 2 things done...
1. Register for New Balance Real Run
2. Purchase stationeries and hopefully find a book I like at kino...

Errand No. 1, destination stadium taka... The place was quite empty, not many people were patronising the shop then. The sales girls can take up loads of time attending to a customer at the payment counter. I wasn't in much of a rush and didn't show impatience, even knowing I was waiting they didn't show much concern about people queuing; behind me was a tourist.
It's not all their fault though, the customer was so fickle on chosing a pair of swimming goggles... rrr... But It will be of great service, if they were able to ask if what I want. Still, I paid my 20 buck registration fee and got a receipt No. 00521.. Mmmm, good if i buy 24 permutations of 0521? HEHE (:





















Errand No. 2, destination Kinokuniya Bookshop...

Sometimes, it's real hard to find something you like. My book interest is limited, I don't like business books, war history, strike rich books, self motivation books. There are 2 main topics I will love to read, travel literature and current affairs.

I went on browsing a few books I might like.

Book A, There was this book about how we live our life in the current technological era. Instant messaging, email, sms had affected us greatly in terms of social and physcological aspects. Sounds interesting?? I guess they are just talking about us...

We are a colony of high techies... Don't we know ourself better than to read how people discriminate us. I did not buy it!

Book B, is about this french travel literature. This brit, who is a traveller moves around in france and see the distinctions of modern france and their culture. I think france is a really exciting country. It quite humbled by it's exuberant history with a very great advancement in technology. But yet, I did not buy it.

Book C, yes above is the book I've bought. It publishes the centennial history of how planes evolve and super power countries tries to awe public of their new releases of modern combat jet planes.

okay! enough on books... Lets talk about the mini Tai Tai!.. Realll... mini! heh! I went on to the magazine section to browse new issue of sportsmag. Similar to me there were many many others browsing other types of magazines. Everyone there were pretty much zipped! quietly enjoying the pictures that each page of a magazine can show.

2 sg teen girls, spoked in a heavy english accent... It was so unnaturally stressed that I nearly fell of my feet... They spoke so loud that everyone can hear them say "HEY LOOK AT THE BOOB!".. you guessed right!, they were reading some womens' mag... They were speaking in a tone such that you feel they are trying to be as classy as possible... Unbelieveable, This trend is rising pretty much everywhere... especially in the Orchard CBD region... I guess it's probably the status that when you are there on a weekday, you really much be a Tai Tai or a Tai Tai's daughter... Is it so difficult to be yourself??
