(check out the cute-ass Japanese candy! used to eat a ton of them when I was younger. it's the sort that melts into a sugary mass on your tongue almost instantaneously. grape-flavour's no doubt the best! ;p)
When I was up to here in pre-exam frustration and general lassitude towards life (last week. muaha all over now!), I just felt sooo much better after walking in and grabbing all sorts of snacks that I could lay my hands on. It's the one type of shopping that you can never feel guilty about since, how can anyone ever stinge on necessities?? Then there's the bright lights, the background buzz of (noisy)strangers coming together in the same place for a similar purpose, rows and rows of stacked foodstuffs and the colours...
In other random news, today as I was leaving the house in my dad's car (my sis and I were running late as usual) my dad all-knowingly asked if anyone had forgotten anything. Of course, I'd left my cell phone in the house. Made a quick dash back to the house in the light rain to retrieve it. All was well till I was dropped off at school. Not 10 seconds after my dad drove off, I fished into my bag for that blasted cell phone and surprise surprise -- I'd left it in the car. Somehow. Took me quite awhile to get over the inital agitation (kinda wish I wasn't so dependent on devices that allow me to channel my neuroses into the world 24/7). I have to accept that it was just fate. Pure and simple as that.
man that whole cell phone episode is so something i'd do :P in fact i've probably done it before and just forgot.
ReplyDeletenice photos...i esp love the banana pic!
Doesn't it just drive you crazy when things happen that way?! However, I do find intentional (or unintentional, hehe) breaks from our technologically-overdosed society welcoming from time to time... until the withdrawals kick in ;)
ReplyDeleteI love wandering around supermarkets. While some people complain about grocery shopping, I confess that I enjoy it. You're spot on about the lights, noises, and overall atmosphere. One market in my area has a wonderful international foods section. It's where I get my tea biscuits :) Terrific photos, btw. I really like the banana shot.
haha what silly fate that you werent meant to bring your cellphone! but its probably good..as maybe if you had brought it, you would've left it in class or dropped it somewhere losing it forever..so maybe its good that you left it at home!
ReplyDeletegosh..sorry but i hate bananas haha
I've just saw some Miso Soup!! :o *steals
