Was supposed to go running with Esther and Ting Ting this morning. (Sweet heavens, when was the last time I saw my old schoolmates...) Unfortunately for Ting Ting, that one came up. So yea, she wasn't able to join us. ):
It was awful trying to run in the humid weather. The last thing you want when you're breathless is the further lack of oxygen. Couldn't run as far as the previous times. Aww man.
We went home to wash up before meeting again to go out. Went to Kinokuniya's first. There were a couple of books I want, mostly of which are dystopian literature. I can't get enough of it. I love humans who think. Dystopian literatures are downright atavistic and animalistic, delving into the darkest human nature, laying out the ugly truth. The author challenges his own thinking as well as defy societal norms.
I would love to get George Orwell's works, 1984 in particular, as well as Animal Farm. But the story revolves around the Soviet Union and I know nuts about it. It would be a waste of money to buy it under such circumstances. I'll just borrow it from Esther in future. Instead, I bought Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, another famed work. Welcome to a world where dictatorship rules; where your status is determined the moment you're born; a world where kinship doesn't exist; a world where promiscuous activity is considered a social activity; a world where drugs are legal; a world where blah blah blah.
Oh my God. Such controversial, debatable topics are fun; it stimulates my mind. Dystopian literature FTW! :D
Esther finally finished reading the first instalment of Battle Royale. I'm not surprised we share the same favourite characters: Shinji Mimura and Shogo Kawada. Afterall, the traits I love most are logical and rational thinking, calm, efficiency and resourceful. I've been told I think like a guy by my friends. The truth is, I've been trying to emulate these guys. Haha. Better to be a girl who remains calm and think than one who loses her head and starts screaming like a beheaded chicken, which by the way doesn't even help to solve the problem at hand.
I have walked past this Coffee Club outlet many times but this is the first time I'm dining here. The window view is wonderful.
Soft shell crab pasta for Esther. Mine's rather quirky. C'mon, just look at the garlic-marinated chicken fillet! It's green!
There were complimentary fruity smoothies for the meals we ordered. I like the Tropical Blast. The manga banana one was nice, although it's a weird combination.
Lol. I'd no idea Esther took this photo.
Our dessert. Ahaha! It looks so sinfully good! (: The whole thing's made of ice cream. We ordered it thinking it was a real chocolatey slice of cake. Lol.
We went to Far East Plaza on a whim. It turned out to be a good decision. We had a nice haul. I'm definitely going back to that shop.
Sorry for the lousy post tonight. Just having some depressing thoughts.. Feeling insecure, unloved and unappreciated for no reason. Maybe I'll feel better after sleeping. Could be the crazy hormones at work, you know. Happens sometimes. (:
