Today was fun.
Went to Borders at 3+ and guessed what, I left almost empty-handed. My father's prediction was right. Zzz... It's not my fault that Borders don't have the books I wanted. I'm so disappointed today. I was looking for Into Thin Air by Cindy Miles and many other books.
I only bought The tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K Rowling because it was on sale. The other books that I suppose I would buy, will be cheaper in Popular, so why waste money?
I saw this beautiful and sleek Twilight collector's collection. It cost $50+, gah I want it, but since I already have the Twilight book, then forget about buying it.
Good things come to those who wait, huh? I don't believe in waiting, unless my interest for that something has decreased. So, I'm pondering over whether I should wait for a longer period of time before acquiring Twilight DVD or just bought straight away when it's release. The longer I wait, the better the deal will become, it seems this way.
There are so many Twilight saga books in Borders. Almost makes me feel nostalgic.
After that, we went to the Singapore Flyer. My father's company had this offer for a 3-in-one family tour. We'll be in the air, in the water and on the land. Many people had signed up with their family.
Had to wait such a long time before sitting the Duck Tour though. One of the "ducks" was damaged and thus, the schedule was pushed back. This was my second time going on a Duck Tour.
Then came the Singapore Flyer part. We were actually supposed to go around evening time but it was 7+ when we were in the Flyer. It was a great experience although the view wasn't very nice. Too much construction going on and the city lights aren't that bright.
We went for the Christmas light-up Tour last. We sat on top of a open-decked bus and travelled through Orchard Road. This was the best! The wind blowing on my face, snapping photos away, and Christmas songs from the bus. We were almost like tourists, seeing Singapore for the first time.
Who say this year Christmas decorations isn't nice? It was really beautiful from our view. You just have to look up or look behind, and the whole road is aglow with the white lights and candies.
We seemed to have attracted attention along the tour. In the past, I was always down there or in a car, looking at these buses went by.
Something made my day today: spotting a giant Twilight poster on Shaw House and taking a photo of it. Actually, I took many shots at it, but the bus was jerking and the photos turned out blurry. Thankfully, I managed to take one decent photo.
I don't know what's wrong with my camera. There always seem to be a problem with it. Sometimes, the photos will turn out blurry even though I already set it to anti-shake mode. Day time photo-taking is mostly alright, it's the night-time that things will go wrong. The view will turn out to be blurry or just plain dark.
I'll probably upload the photos tomorrow. Enjoyed myself today even if my feet were killing me.
Oh yes, 5 more days to Twilight the movie!
