today i went to the sistic outlet at raffles city with the intention of purchasing tickets for 'the pickle king' to watch with steph and kexi. i went to the basement of raffles city to withdraw money so as to pay for the tickets, then i went to the sistic counter. Instead of seeing a human being behind the counter, i saw a human being in front of the counter looking at the available brochures, as well as a sign on the counter stating the opening hours. i was there at 8.24pm and they closed at 8pm.
thus, i went to toa payoh and was thinking if i should catch the movie 'the illusionist'. i decided that i will watch the movie only if there's a showing at 9+pm and i could catch it in time. i shall not watch any other movies. upon depositing some money into my bank account, i proceeded to the entertainment center. saw a newly opened beads shop selling you-know-what and went up to look at the movie timings.
i couldn't find 'the illusionist' at all :(
After which, i decided that i'll use the time to stock up on food in my house just in case i get hungry. walked past lots of shops with selling clothes and walked past lots of food. One glance and i walked away. clothes and food didn't hold much appeal for me tonight. went to the supermarket, walked around and i realised that nothing in the supermarket held any appeal for me either. pasta, instant noodles, instant porridge, facial wash, chocolates, dars chocolates, old jamaican, chips, even mashed potato...
went to popular instead. that's where my interest started to pipe up. went to get art materials to do some stuff. in the end, i spent more money on the art supplies than money that could have been spent on the movie ticket:S
but i realised something:) i realised that i get quite excited if what i'm doing is for somebody else, rather than for me. or even in the case of what i'm getting. i'm happy when i'm buying stuff for someone else, but i'm not that happy when i'm buying stuff for myself:)
and of course, i was quite delighted when i figured it out=]
