the after-promo frenzy
ok... from the MASSIVE amount of posts i see everywhere, it seems people are somehow over-excited at the end of promos. to those who still have papers, i feel for ya =P
i don't know.. i'm not reacting at all. when the promos were looming i just studied a bit more but there really wasn't this presing pressure and over anxiety, and now it's over i don't feel the relief... hmm... must be because i ZEN too much.
what is ZEN? it's a... i wouldn't say skill... just something i "cultivated" through the years, one way or the other. basically, to anything that happens, don't show much emotion. you can *feel* emotion, that isn't a problem, but just don't show it. an impassive, or poker face. something extrememly good happen? ok. that was great. what made it successful? repeat it again. somethign bad happen? (like when i got 3/25 for math test) rage a bit internally, then start asking what happened, and how to make amends for it. in fact i think i remain impassive too much such that people don't even know what happens at times. sigh. (it's not a very good practice, by the way)
...
i have a *generally* good sense of direction. ask me a destination and i can more or less go there without a road map. ask me where's north at any time and i can point it out within 10 seconds. but this all goes out of the window in shopping districts and centres. i'm just hopeless in those places ><>< shopping's just not my thing.
oh, i didn't get what i wanted. i ransacked almost every shopping centre i found >_> a few months ago garfield the movie was out, and almost evey single corner you turn you see garfield dolls. now everywhere i go i see pooh, tigger, eyeyore, piglet but no garfield! grrrr who wants pooh bears?! in the end i went back to orchard and bought something waay beyond my budget. sigh. gonna have to scrimp and save the next few days.
and i think advanced geog last year rubbed off a bit too much on me last year... as i was going around looking for what i neededi was also kinda analysing the layout of those shopping centres. hmmm. and i didn't even know wholesale stores existed in Singapore. well it was kinda an eyeopener >_> anyway the layout of some palces are good. they kinda force you to walk through the various stores. others... well let's just say they waste space in the middle, where stores should be mroe visible, and they have stores stuck in corner, with bored assistants wonderign why there aren't any customers. NO DUH!
...
sorry, gotta go now ><
