yesterday was a wonderful day spent running around bras basah & getting lost. sounds fine? well, not really. it was more of the dhs explore amazing race. & i'm really glad i'm still alive, serious. skip to the 'major stuff sections' if you don't want to read my nonsensical blabberings.

we started our hike at 145 pm. walked from bugis mrt to fort canning road, which was goodness-knows-how-many-miles away. without water! without food! we passed by the same places thrice, i rmb seeing SMU thrice, waterloo street, victoria street, serangoon road, chijmes O: thrice!

went into nat library twice to ask for directions, only to get vague replies like, 'oh i think is, um, there? er where? erm i don't know lah, maybe there?' but there was this kind man who was not even some counter ppl, he just passed by & heard me asking the counter woman. & he gave quite detailed descriptions, thanks! he's darn pro, can apply for counter receptionist alr (:

it was really hell, i tell you. we set off from the library, in search of the sculpture square & singapore arts museum. we took 2 hours to get there, excluding the time taken from bugis to nat library. tried all sorts of ways, even had to borrow a map from a tourist! gah. we passed by chijmes, bugis street etc, went into the buildings to find maps & took pics of them.

went around in circles, then saw this building with a big S, that kept our hopes high, but it turned out to be Stamford whatever. in the end we didn't know how we found SAM, we saw this big sculpture which caught our attention. & we saw a notice at the door 'the wedding of______' bomg. cy said these ppl must really love art.

major stuff in point form:
# went into the gallery, stupid staff there chased us out cos no tickets.
# i thought we had to pay for the entrance tickets in SAM. ended up being free (:
# surveyed a couple first, very embarrassed cos they were alone & quite intimate -.-
# at first everyone was surveyed by cy, then i started to survey too cos she forced me haha.
# we managed to get 3 pairs of youths i think :D
# cy said one person looked like fm china, & i proved her wrong (:
# got this guitar performance which attracted a lot of ppl.
# fel refused to help us interview ppl, she only took pics at millenia walk with zj earlier on ):
# we ate at food court after getting out of SAM, was quite desperate for food ):
# pizza & pasta at food court, very ex but the pizza was nice (:
# walked to fortcanning while looking for stupid sculpture sq.
# ended up giving up & not going alr
# went macs to eat again.
# ended our hike at 6pm, took mrt home with fel while cy had band concert
# fel got this cute apple balloon she got at suntec! -jealous-

that's all, what a day! my poor feet.
