Today was a VERY eventful day for me. I had breakfast with Charlene at a french breakfast place, and was the original plan. We hadn't met for almost a year I think, so when we caught up it was really good. So here is a recount of the days events:
We decided to go to this french place near Brunswick at 11. On our way there, we met this chap on the tram. He noticed we were looking for breakfast places, and he recommended one further up (seeing as how we had missed our stop). I thought, quite a nice fellow. Next thing I know, he was hitting on Charlene. And it was SO obvious. Not to mention he was that much older. So she shot me a look when he asked for her number, and I guess she gave it out of politeness, then we got off at the next stop, and backtracked to the french place. At this point, I must add that no self-respecting Singaporean man, will be able to pull the stunt that the tram man did on a normal day. Personally I was shocked at the audacity the man had. He talked to her like I was not even there. Not like I'm her boyfriend of anything, but at least acknowledge my presence!
The french breakfast was fantastic, and I think it was the best croissant I've ever had. We chatted, and by the time we left, it was 11am. Charlene had missed her class for the day. So we decided to walk about more then. And ended up walking all the way to Brunswick again (we had backtracked to the french place near college square). We walked and talked, it was fun. Then we went into a shop, and I ended up buying a shirt, and by that time, it was 130pm. I had missed my class for the day. So we decided to visit the courts!
Yes, the courts. It was so strange, but so cool at the same time, the security was tight. We felt quite out of place considering how we were dressed, but we still managed to pass off as law students, well I did. We sat in on a session where a man had been convicted of 3 counts of burglary, and unauthorised possession of a firearm. It was all good until Charlene's phone rang in court!!!The judge looked so pissed, and asked her to take it out quickly, and people were shooting us glares. And by the way, when you leave the court and enter the court while the judge is there, you need to bow to the judge first. And stand when you address the judge. I was so scared, yet intrigued by the whole system. Lucky I didn't choose to be a lawyer. I don't think I'll ever be able to pull it off.
Then it was E-night. It was fantastic. Turn out was great. Skit went well. I think it was awesome.
