I went to school this afternoon with Cassandra, to find that Uncle Johnny could not let us into the Avid Room. ARGH. However, I was quite fortunate to stay in school until Chishiho Sensei called me to ask for Chris Lim’s number, which in turn gave me a chance to participate in the Youth Forum with the Waseda Shibuya High School students later on. A blessing in disguise? This is only part 1.
Anyway, I felt so old when I was there. Not that I am the oldest, but I am considered a graduate there. All the juniors are like “senpai-ing” me, which made me felt even older. Fortunately, Chris Lim and Chris(Taiyou) came to the forum too. Blessing in disguise part 2.
After the forum, we had the chance to mingle with the Japanese students. While we were happily chatting away, the Japanese students started the topic of “do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?” which spun off a series of “why??” after I said I did not have one at the moment. Although I do not know why, in my memory to date, I was asked this same question everytime, by Japanese. When I replied “inai”, they will ask me “why?”(often followed by a “but you’re so cute!”. heh.), which in turn was a blessing in disguise too, as I get to enjoy praises. Haha.
At the end of the forum, Chrises and I had decided to go watch movie as we had too much time to burn. Therefore, we took bus no. 143 to head off to VivoCity. As we alighted at the bus stop, we strolled along the covered walk way till we were about to walk down the stairs to the subway station. THEN. Being the same old Gladys, I forgot my laptop on the bus. Fortunately(or not), I was able to think calmly then and flagged a cab to follow the bus.
Gladys:”Uncle ah! Can you follow that bus in front? I left something on the bus!”(Bus already out of sight…)
Uncle:”Okay!”
Gladys:”Uncle, do you know the bus route?”
Uncle:”I guess so.”
Luckily, we’ve found ourselves a streetwise, no, bus-wise driver, who helped us in rescuing my laptop in evil hands. Okay, though my lappy does not contain anything exciting that will land me in International Newspapers’ headlines, all my graduate works are all inside. Although it cost me quite a bit to chase after the bus, it was the biggest blessing in disguise of the day, isn’t it? =)
See! Being single can let you lead an adventurous life! Exciting yah?
