highly literary, with occasional grammar slips

a satire on typicality.
i am going to write a blog post on the topic of typicality.

today was so fun! it is a public holiday but my tuition girls had to go to the temple for prayers in the morning. i had wanted to change the tuition timing to around 10am because we might have family dinner (which will be delved into later) at night at 7plus. because they cannot change and family dinners are inevitable, we rescheduled the tuition to wednesday at 730pm! i feel quite horrible but didn't have a choice. hopefully they are fine with it!

since i have my morning free, i decided to go for a swim at the newly renovated woodlands swimming complex. we took a straight bus from our house, 913. the bus was fast! took around 10minutes. it is so pretty now! when we reached the complex, the deep pool was very crowded! however, we carried on our plan. thanks to weiying, angie and sihui, i had such great chance to work out! the sun was no joke today. it was scorching and slicing! every minute in the sun sliced deep into my skin. now i am sunburnt! i am tanned and according to my mother, less ang-moh already (my dear biased mother feels that i have caucasian-like fair skin)! it was very fun swimming though!

after that, sihui brought us to a myanmar restaurant at city hall. we took the north-south line and everybody had a seat. we were very happy and excited. weiying and sihui lay on angie's shoulders on their way there. the restaurant was quite ulu. i had a bowl of myanmar's specialty dish called mohinga. esther and sihui had the same thing too. angie had myanmar curry chicken. it has a unique taste, very different from anything i have eaten. i have an insanely patriotic palate so it didn't exactly agree very well with me. the waiter was very good, they were attentive to our needs.

after that, we shopped around at raffles city shopping centre. we went straight to dorothy perkins and topshop! the former had a great sale going on! clothes were cheap and pretty. i bought a grey long-sleeved top at $17.10 while sihui and esther bought clothes there too. sihui couldn't find the topshop pumps she wanted so she went to ask for the size from the people at topshop. weiying was however, hungry already because she didn't eat anything at the restaurant. angie and i then accompanied her to the basement 1 of the shopping centre to buy food. we wanted to bring her to chippy british take-away, but she found beard papa instead and bought a cream puff. we were very happy for her. esther and sihui then joined us and we went off. sihui wanted to meet shumin and junming at first but changed her mind. so, all of us went home.

angie, esther and i walked home from the mrt station. it is around 8 minutes walk away. we were talking while walking and because we had so much fun talking, we decided to talk a longer route so that we can talk more. it is only around 3 minutes difference but we wanted to talk a bit more. it was while we were walking that we talked about blog posts, interesting and boring ones, fun and sickening ones, sad and happy ones and TYPICAL ones. we then decided to experiment writing a typical blog post. it was so funny and we laughed our way home. after we laughed, we found out we were all serious about writing a boring blog post. and so we did.

wow, i can so write a Masters Thesis on the topic of Typicality huh.
