Today was the IMAX Movie excursion. My partner was Pinky Princess Jenna, aka. Mikoo or Michelle Khoo for those who STILL don't know who I'm referring to. I wore my nice velvety black jacket to school because it was so cold in the morning. Besides, I thought I'd need it in the theatre later on. After that, in the canteen, I was getting rather hot and flustered but I had no space to store it in my bag. Hmph. And so I just wore it, for what else could I do? Mikoo wanted to be boring and sit down 'quietly and nicely', but I think that's because she wanted to read that book that Wan Qin lent her. The Wolf Brother sequel, or the fifth book in that series to be accurate. The green one. Speaking of books, Marianne is currently hogging my 'Chosen' book. Third person... Fortunately, the other two books in that series are safely in my bag now, albeit more than a little tattered. I swear I will never show anyone a book that seems to be interesting that I HAVE anymore, at least not for a long time. Eek.
Anyway, Mikoo got sort of offended that I said she was a boring person even though I was merely kidding, and we got into a little argument. Me and my stupidly big mouth must learn to shut up sometimes. Fortunately, it all got worked out in less than five minutes, phew. Then of course, the bus came. I know, epic news. We sat on the second row and basically chatted about very forgettable stuff along the journey. By that I mean I forgot everything we chatted about. EVERYTHING. PSLE rotted my memory very badly, sigh. And then before I noticed it, we were all at the Science Centre! It looked sort of weird, maybe because it was renovated or something. All purplish? If I remember correctly, that is. And then Mdm Loe said we were eating at McDonalds which made me nearly scream because I have ten dollars worth of unused McDonalds gift vouchers(that means free food, not discount) which expire next March... Gah. I shall not go into unnecessary details about how we got off the bus and walked and all that rubbish but basically we ended up in McDonalds. Mikoo didn't know what she'd like so I chose the Wasabi Fillet-o-Fish burger meal to share(we weren't that hungry) and how disappointing, no fries at morning time. So all we got was a stupid hashbrown. They should have given two. Equivalent exchange. Tut tut. Moments after that, we saw that Jolene's table had only one free seat because Alicia took a seat after Jolene let us sit there. To be honest, I was sort of glad because I'm crowd-shy. No, really. I prefer nice groups of five maximum, haha. Including us, that would be seven. Aaheli's favourite number. Okay, forget I said that.
Just a while later, I found out that Mikoo doesn't really like Wasabi because it's spicy and goes up her nose. I like that, actually. Plus the fact that it's supposed to be healthy. So she ate a third of the burger and in return I ate a third of the hashbrown and drank a little less Coke Light. Why Light, you ask? Because I wanted to find out how it tasted, haha. Pointless. I then committed the horrible sin of hypocrisy by saying the 'stupid' hashbrown was kind of nice. But I let Mikoo have her wonderful breakfast because I was so kind, instead of plundering it from her. We finished really quickly with fifty minutes to spare so we went to visit the nice garden-y place. Whatever you call it. Oh, I saw that stream thing again, the one people keep trying to jump across. I can't do it and never will because I'm afraid of wetting my pinafore. Lame excuse, but I can't think of anything else. Haha. So after playing there and getting dizzy and half-dead from the spinning wheel thing(and the crowd, GAH) and showing more than some people where the toilet was, fifty minutes passed and it was movie time. Yay.
Call it deliberate arrangement or coincidence, but for some reason Mikoo, Hope, Aaheli and me ended up beside each other in the queue so we decided to sit next to each other. Wan Qin and Louise were in front, resulting in a long line of Harry potter discussion and portraying the characters in a less than glamorous way. Behind me, Jolene was talking to Lin Lao Shi about random stuff and she(Lin Lao Shi, not Jolene!) was showing people pics of her kids. So cute. And anyway, Mikoo suddenly told me to go see who the ticketing officer was and I turned around to see the smiling face of Mdm Loe. I had to try hard not to laugh. So after another period of arm-wrestling, ogling at Wan Qin's chinchilla and comparing him with mine and Harry Potter stuff, it was finally time to go in. The stairs were very dizzying indeed, but at least we got the best seats! I saw Mdm Lim and asked her to sit with us but she said I was too noisy. Says who? I'm very quiet, okay! I know, hypocrisy. Sigh. This group of CCK Sec boys was sitting in front of us and boy were they noisy. And unfriendly too. Guys or girls, nobody waved back at us when we waved at them, hmph. The following interval before the show started was a chorus of 'SHUT UP LAH!' from them and a lot more nudging, prodding and squealing from us. Don't ask.
The show was breathtaking, especially since I haven't watched IMAX movies in ages. Since last year, I think. Mikoo got motion sickness, though. Was it really that realistic? Anyway, after the show ended we went off together, five of us including Janelle. Mikoo had to rest for awhile because of the abovementioned reasons. And I had to run far in front and tell the rapidly moving group to stop, where Mdm Lim told us to some forward. Confusing. When we finally got to explore the place, we basically visited some interesting exhibits and played some games, including this Find Four-style one with a really irritating robot girl, Moxie. Her soft toy is smarter than her, tut tut. She still won. BECAUSE OF HER TOY. And she said 'Did you really think you could win against a robot?' How insulting. Humans created robots, okay! After browsing around in the shop and buying a bottle of blue gooey squeeze candy to share, it was time to go. The bus trip was much more enjoyable, except that Janelle kept asking for more gooey stuff and that resulted in endless stickiness.
And I left my jacket on the bus. It's gone...SIGH.
P.S: Thanks to Gaogao, I'm writing a 50000 word novel thingy. Wish me luck, haha. I've done around 2000 already and it's all crap. Eek.
