Out of the very blue.
Wow indeed. Today had been an extremely eventful and unexpected day. Totally awesome to boot too.
So let's start off with waking up at 6 in the morning and not knowing where to go for flag day. So I went to sch alone, and didnt manage to find out where was I supposed to go. Then, I was loitering around the mrt, contemplating to return them the tin on the spot and just go home, or to rot my friggin 7 hours in SP.
However, by an unexpected twist of fate, a very friendly and helpful MRT staff advised me to go Novena, where it would be good to go for flag day, down to the exact spot to stand. I didnt know what made me want to go, but it was prolly of my fuck-care attitude.
So I ventured all alone to Novena, hoping to see no one from SP there. Woe and behold, there was a course there, DICT, but luckily there werent that many ppl.
And thus my spot finding started off at about 9am. Explored around in vain a bit, until I managed to settle down in a very strategic location; between the 2 shopping centres. Alas, nothing lasts forever; the security guard chased me away, forcing me to find another spot - not an easy task considering the number of ppl I had to compete with.
I did manage to find a spot in the end, but I wasn't reaping as much as the previous area. And there is this other guy, who is damn charismatic, or prolly outgoing, who doesn't shy away from approaching people. The people were damn nice and kind hearted; particularly a frail old man, who asked me to take good care and another girl who told me to have fun, amongst several others. Really, the old man's words touched me - the concern was genuine. The girl flashed me a cheeky grin when she left.
Fast forward to counting of the amount I had, I would say I did really well for what I am; a not really outgoing person. I managed $101, with all the stickers given, with a little help from the DICT students. That clinched me the 2nd highest in class, and it made me pretty darn proud of myself.
Right after, there was a welcome party for the freshmen. We went early and did not have to queue long, by courtesy of cutting queue thanks to Sarah. However, the starting performances were mediocre at best, belting out songs which are either self composed or very obscure.
The awesome-ness started right after 7, where they started to play songs more known, and when things began to get more interesting. So it was practically 2 hours of dancing, and thanks to that, my ears are now in rehabilitation due to the fucking loud music. I went out of my comfort zone, albeit only by a little, which is something I dont easily achieve.
So today can be counted as a superb day, prolly cause of this quote I came across; Seek happiness from yourself, not from others.
