Saturday Blues

  Good day, everyone! Today is finally Saturday in warm Singapore, and I can't believe that it's still 3.45pm, especially since I've already been in and out of the house. Ah well... They do say that time flies when you're having fun, but today not everything has been all sunshine and butterflies. It all started as a normal day...

  Today, I woke up at 8.30am, and I had my breakfast and took my shower and went out of the house at 9.45am for my Catechism classes (they're religious classes for Catholics and Christians) which started at 10.45am. It seems pretty early to be heading out for something that's just a while away, but trust me, it takes a really long time for the bus to come once we're at the bus interchange. As a result of the bus's delayed appearance, we arrived at the church just 10 minutes before my classes started. 

  After my Catechism class, which ended at 11.45am, my brother, my father and I went back to the MRT station to visit Ang Mo Kio, where my mother worked. We stayed at the mall there for a while, trying to find a present that my brother would like, but being the gift-refusing kind of person that my brother is, our offers to buy him presents for his upcoming birthday were quickly turned down... And our moods were really dampened because my elder brother looked all gloomy. And that was the start of my Saturday Blues.

  When my parents decided that our time at the shopping mall was up, we headed back home, and I plonked myself in front of the computer as soon as I stashed my bag in the bags' corner and took out my waterbottle to make sure no traces of water would leak onto anything in that blue bag of mine. By then, my brother was in a really foul mood because I kept chattering to him on the way home about unimportant things like what I argued to my teacher about on Thursday (don't worry, it was just a friendly debate) and I think he got irritated, especially when I got bored and started singing "Three Blind Mice". I know because he looked at me with a Really, Kirsten? look when I ended my song, and he didn't look amused. At all. After that, I decided to shut my mouth, and when we had a bit of a petty argument over who should keep the umbrella and who should close the shoe cabinet's door, we were clearly not on speaking terms. And then I remembered that we were celebrating my brother's birthday today, and I silently took the green envelope that the card that I had written for him in it and I handed it to him. Then he read it and brought it to his room, and we haven't directly spoken since, although his voice became a tad bit less offensive after I gave him his card. So now, after this, we're going to hold a birthday party for my brother, and I hope that all the little kids will be happy with playing in the study room, because I'm pretty tired, although I will go and play with them once in a while. I'm not that anti-social... And besides, I've already met them before, so we're already friends.

  So... I guess I'll end the post now. I don't know if it's long or short, but I'm sorry if it's too long, and I'm equally sorry if it wasn't descriptive enough for you. 

  See ya next time!
