~Yawnz~
For the first time in a very long time, I'm feeling sleepy at this time. My bio-clock had been screwed up very badly for the past few weeks. Sleeping after 3am (once at 5.30am!) and waking up after 12 noon.
But today bo pian, woke up at 9.30am to go to manchester to meet my friends. Once again, my initial purpose of going there fell through except for the meeting friends part.
I planned to go there, hand-over the luggage for my friend to bring home, chat with them a while and head off shopping on my own. (yes, I'm weird. I prefer to shop alone.)
In the end, I met them. We went for lunch and that lasted for 2 hours! The longest meal I ever had since I'm here. Had Dim Sum again but this time round it was much cheaper, but then again, there were lesser people. Did went in to mango and fcuk but there were nothing much. Then we went to sit, chat, drink and eat again at starbucks. After that, it was time to head home already and all shops had closed already anyway.
I could have shopped if I wanted. But paiseh lahz, ask them to shop around with me. And my friend (the other only female) only shops in branded stores so she will be bored stiff in the cheapo stores I go too! Haha! It was inconvenient with that heavy luggage as well, although I have nothing to do with it after I hand it over to the guys! lol! But he's doing me a favour mahz...must be considerate.
All in all, it was not too bad a day. It was nice to hear "imperfect" english. Oh ya, and for the first time since I'm here, hear someone else shout "chee bye". Yes, my guy friend did that loud and clear in the middle of chinatown...I forgot why.
Did I mention that I didn't spend a single cent as well? Other than the coach ticket to get there and to buy some chinese pastries. Hehe...yup...they treat me all the way. I wanted to pay for all their drinks at starbucks but they refuse saying I lugi 'cos I would be paying for more people.
Don't really see the logic. Probably 'cos they are sort of like one family (bro, sis & bf) so no matter which 3 of them pay the money is sort of from the same source? If you get what I mean. But I feel kinda bad, 'cos they spend money to come down meet me, treat me and then can only reach home at 11pm due to 1hr of travel, another 1hr of waiting and then another 2 hrs of travel, all so to help me bring my stuff back to sg.
This trip is weird, but feels good, that I went with hands full and came back empty.
