Well, I called Liling as soon as I reached Orchard MRT station to know her whereabouts. Had actually wanted to meet her, but ended up losing my way, and she had to come meet me instead. =) She seemed so glad to see me! Like she was dying to get away from the girls at any chance she had. Liling filled me in on the "interesting" bits that happened during the outing, while we walked around Wisma Atria and Takashimaya to shop for stuff for Mrs Kwek, Mrs Suresh and Ms Ong. There were indeed lots of "drama". It was really an "ear-opener"!

I never knew my class was so divided! Not till Liling told me what happened at school and at Orchard today. It turned out that some of the guys in our class do not really like the girls, with the exception of Liling and me I hope. Cos they often "talk cock", as how the guys put it.

And I always thought that the competition in our class was just the 'friendly' sort, not the intense type. But it seems that it's actually not that 'friendly' after all. Some people actually do take the competition very seriously. Some pretend that they did not study, when in fact, they did study very hard. Some keep lamenting about how they'll fail, when in fact, they do very well.

Liling also told me how awkward it was for her to be caught in the middle - to go with the guys or the gals. She was somewhat like the middleman, asking the guys if the girls could join them.etc. Cos there was something going on with the guys and the gals. Seemed like the guys were angry with the girls, or the other way round. I'm not sure. The guys and the gals were sitting at different ends of the cabin in the train, and at different tables at Seoul Garden. I bet I would have also felt the same. Usually, I think she would have gone with the guys. But it'd have been weird if she left the girls alone. Ya, so she went with the girls. I think if I was there too, we would probably have gone with the guys, and she might have enjoyed herself more. Hehe...

It was somehow rather surprising to hear that our class's so divided. I always thought our class was pretty united, though still not as united as 1S13. Especially the part about Winston. According to Liling, he said that he didn't like the girls cos they often "talk cock", I think. But Woeilin actually praised him, saying that he's actually a very nice guy. All this is just so contradicting. It's kinda frightening cos you never know if you're the next one they're going to dislike. Now I really understand what Mrs Suresh said about our class having the grades, but we're not really united.

As the saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss". I've always believed in this saying, ever since Secondary School. My friend and I would never get involved in class politics. Even now, I think Liling and I also try not to get involved in them. That's why the news we get are usually "second-hand" ones. But I also think that's why we're getting along relatively well with the rest.

Anyway, after walking around for a while, we decided to get eye pillows at $11.90 for Mrs Suresh and Mrs Kwek. Purple one for Mrs Suresh and a Maroon one for Mrs Kwek. It's said to be able to reduce puffy eyes, and other stuff I can't remember. We thought it'll be useful cos they probably often don't get enough sleep. Then while getting the cards for them, I suddenly remembered about Ms Ong. Gotta get a gift for her cos I didn't give anything to her on Teachers' Day. Plus, she gave a book to Liling a few days ago. Couldn't find anything cute and girly at Wisma, so we walked to Takashimaya. Found this cute dog door-stopper at $13.90. We decided to get that for her. Wanted to get something for Mrs Soh as well, but our finances were running low. Well, oddly, I felt kinda happy after buying the gifts. Like I had accomplished something great. =)

After that, we decided to head home. I took the train home. Actually gotta change to the East-West train at City Hall interchange. I don't know why, but I got off at Douby Ghaut instead. As the train left, I suddenly realised that I was actually at Douby Ghaut. For a moment, I stood at the platform, wondering why did I actually get off at Douby Ghaut. In the end, I decided to take bus 64 home. Got home only around 9+.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed myself today. I found out many things today, some were expected while some were really surprising. Like how familiar Liling is with Orchard Rd. She seemed to know where's everything! Gotta know more about about my class too. And I got something for Ms Ong, Mrs Kwek and Mrs Suresh. Wonder how they'll react tomorrow. =)
