TANGLING MALL???
Jingwen came over to my house yesterday afternoon to get some books that he needs. Supposedly Yu Sheng is coming over tomorrow, but because I would be leaving for Malaysia tomorrow morning, he wouldn't be able to come and get the books he needs. Jingwen then stayed around and accompanied me for lunch at the hawker centre nearby. Then we walked down to Lot 1 Shoppers' Mall where we went on separate paths, him heading for Popular to get some things while I headed for the MRT Station.

I had decided to give Sharon a surprise at work yesterday, which didn't turn out to be much of a surprise in the end. I had trouble finding my way to Tanglin Mall, where she supposedly work at, from Orchard MRT Station. I had to ask for directions from a man, and before that I even called up my father. My father had to be exaggerating when he said Tanglin Mall is near Orchard ION, because it was a long path down the road to get to Sharon's workplace. I spent like an hour trying to find my way to her workplace and finally reached Tanglin Mall after much sweat and effort.

I thought my misery was about to end and before I set off to locate her shop at Tanglin Mall, I went to the restroom to wash up as I was very sweaty - I was in black and the weather was very hot. I walked around Tanglin Mall, checked the directory and at the end of my wits I asked the service counter for directions to "Asian Legends" - the shop that Sharon works at - but failed. There is no such shop at Tanglin Mall. I was frustrated. Sharon had to be pulling my leg or making a joke out of it, I thought. Then I had the idea that I might had I heard it wrongly, maybe it was Tanglin Shopping Centre or Tanglin Plaza or something like that. The road down is Tanglin Road and there were plenty of shops I could see, and so I strolled down the street hoping to find the shop "Asian Legends" - my only lead to where Sharon works at.

So I was walking pass Tanglin Shopping Centre, nearing the end of the Tanglin Road and at the end of my wits when something caught the corner of my eye. I saw a shop called "Asian Legends". I heaved a sigh of relief for I believe my journey had finally ended. And it turns out that she was tending to the shop after all, I had finally found my way here. Sharon had turned off her handphone and I couldn't contact Fiona who had introduced Sharon the work so there was no way for me to confirmed Sharon's shop location at all. It was purely out of luck, I suppose, that I would be able find my way to Sharon's workplace at the end.

The surprise was no longer a surprise as I had totally lost all mood of giving her a surprise. And so I stayed around to give her company till she ended work. The shop really does sell quite a wide variety of gifts and clothings. I took interest in this shirt that the shop sells that had the wordings "Singapore is a FINE City", and at the back it had the printings of all the fines that Singapore implemented. Thought it was rather cynical but interesting, still. Let's just say she is lucky to have a GOOD friend like me who had nothing better to do then to go all the way to town to keep her company at her boring workplace.

Lucky I didn't had Jingwen with me, if not he would have to run all the way round and round with me. Not forgetting that he has skin problems - he can't sweat too much or he would get rashes.


After work, we took a short walk in Orchard ION. Sharon wanted to show me the steam burger store that is owned by a local celebrity, but she couldn't find the place. Oh well.

I am planning to go down to Plaza Singapura maybe on the 1st or 2nd of December to take a walk and see the piano stores in the building. If the Peninsula is the hub of guitar in Singapore, then Plaza Singapura would be the hub of piano in Singapore. I bet it is going to be a great experience too!

P/S: I would be leaving for Malaysia tomorrow morning and would only be back on Sunday afternoon.

Ja-na~!
