Contact Lens
I just came back from a "…" (Can’t find the right adjective to fill in… haha) trip. Well, after piano exam this morning (read my previous post) and after some brief GaoZi//JiaoZi lunch in the canteen (Since it is Dong Zhi, so eat GaoZi)… I decided to head over to Zhu Shi Kou where there’s a LARGE factory distributing brand new manufactioring stuffs. CHEAP stuffs… Why? Oh, I bought my contact lens with this very nice lady near school, and her shop shifted there… and my left contact lens has been slightly torn in the middle, which I have no idea when it tore itself because I do not recall myself tearing it. And each time I wear it (wore for 3 to 4 times), there’s an itch somewhere. So I called her and told her that I dunno why it hurts my eye, and asked her if she could change it for me. She didn’t even think and said "Yes". Bring it to my shop in Zhu Shi Kou and I’ll see what I can do for you.
Conducting exam is on Monday, so I really have to hurry and get the contact lens fix. Because it’s impossible to wear glasses during exam, very nuisance if my glasses keep slipping off my nose. Lolx. And no contact lens = no life.
Now the problem is, I’ve NEVER been to Zhu Shi Kou… but it’s in Chong Wen Qu… and the only place I know that is located NEAR Chong Wen Qu is SOGO. Yea… I was clever enough to check the digital map before going out. There were 3 ways of transportation:
1) Taxi//Cab - Expensive but guarenteed arrival and saves time
2) Bus - CHEAP, may reach the stations located around that area BUT there are MANY stations in ONE area, and if you miss one station you might get lost.
3) Train - OK price. Located in the center of that area and no matter how far away you wander, you can always go back to the train station and head home.
So… I thought, Hrm, since it’s in Chong Wen Qu, why not I take the train first and walk around. Since my next lesson was at 4pm, and it was barely 12:30pm, I had plenty of time to spare. I reached Chong Wen’s Station and started walking around… there were lots of huge shopping malls around with HUGE christmas trees and all, so even though I was getting quite frustrated when I realize that it was going to be a LONG walk from the station to my destination. Hrm, actually I don’t really quite know the EXACT location of my destination, I just know the direction which I acquired by asking around.
Then after approximately 30 minutes of walking. I started worrying that it may be a LITTLE further than I expected. So with a heavy heart, I caught a cab, boarded and went. My eyes kept a good lookout for the place. AND WAS IN TOTAL LOST OF WORDS when after 3 minutes, the taxi driver stopped and say: "Oh, here we are"…. EEEEEKKKKK. I could’ve WALKED. And now I have to pay a bloody 10 yuan. (once you board the taxi it’s 10 yuan already.)
FINE. Well, finding the lady’s stall was a piece of cake, because she told me the exact location. Row 15 stall No.59. Now that I’ve passed my contact lens to her for changing, she said she could pass it back to my hostel around Sunday. How nice of her… It was a HUGE place, and I was here for the first time… so why not take a look around. Then I ended up buying birthday presents for Jia Jia (her birthday is tomorrow)… 2 Christmas gifts for Yuki and Celine (we promised to exchange gifts)
and a gift for Zhao Xing Hua who’s birthday is 3 days before mine. Lolx. Li Ying Jiao’s birthday is next wednesday, I’m probably gonna get him a small piece of cake. WAKAKAKAKA. Shen Hao’s (my orchestration score reading teacher) birthday is NEXT Thursday, and my birthday present for him is to do well for my orchestration score reading exam. WAKAKAKA…. since MY birthday is coming as well, he’s BEST birthday gift for me would be a GOOD SCORE. WAKAKAKAKAKA.
Anyway. After shopping for two rounds, it was time to head back to the hostel. I was in a okay mood… and was ready to venture back on my own. Oohh, I forgot to mention, yea, I came out ALONE. WAKAKAKA. (What’s so funny?) As I was walking along the pathway, heading towards the bridge to cross the road… When suddenly I felt some slippery thing below my shoes, and just when I was to take a larger step to avoid stepping onto more slippery "thing"s, "THONG"…… I "SLIPPEd" "SWOOSHED" and fell. Landing on my left buttock with my right leg kicking up in the air (Actually the pose quite YENG). And humiliating enough, it was in public. Just as I was hoping that nobody saw, or saw but pretended not to see… this guy standing nearby (who saw me fell) yelled as I landed: "AHHH! BEAUTIFUL LANDING! WAKAKAKKAKAKA!"
=_="""
Thank you very much for helping attract everyone’s attention. AND BOY my buttock hurts. Lolx. But it was actually quite funny, and even I myself can’t stop laughing at the thought of it. After I stood up, I turned to look at what I’ve slipped upon. And it was SNOW. Well, not exactly snow… more like "ICE"… from puddles of water. It’s at a negative 5 degrees now, so it’s no surprise if puddles of water turns to ice… But who would expect that in the middle of some bloody pathway???
Then I walked down the street, looking out for the bus 743 and found that the bus station was actually located VERY NEAR my destination. Sigh, I could’ve saved SO much money…. that BLOODY 10 yuan. Lolx. And after a 20 minutes ride, I was back.
Hahaha…
Actually I had quite a bad hair day (I woke up with my hair twisted in different angles because I slept when it was only 85% dry), then my piano exam also didn’t go very well (not as well as I expected), and after all that had happened above… I’m quite surprised that I’m actually still feeling very happy. HAHAHAHAHA. I wonder why. And boy my buttock hurts… wonder if I have black and blue… (gonna go check).
