bleh
its been a good day so far. went apartment hunting and its so exciting to think that i could have a place that is completely my own. i feel so grown up!
queens street is less busy on the weekends than the weekdays, probably since it is a business district as well as a shopping area. maybe thats why its more fun to shop in newmarket. and its been a long long while since i went shopping.
the markets here are really interesting to go to. not just because its a place to find cheap stuff, like fruits and random pretty things, but also because its well, there are spots to hang out there. and you can get nice food. for instance...BACLAVA. and just the type i like. mmmmmmmm....AND i got this fantastic chocolate that i just LOVE. i feel oh so GOOD after eating it. how good? well, i'll keep that to myself :P
after tomorrow classes start again. it wont really make much of a difference in my schedule since i dont bother going once in a while. a LOT in a while actually. but i think i should start going. regardless of whether i like the class or not. OH GOD.
i'm really looking forward to having a place of my own, you know.
the one that we looked at today was a HUGE block of apartments. just looking at it made me feel that if i were to walk down the block, i'd find an LRT station. seriously. the place made me think of melati, the place jac used to live in. only way more crowded with smaller apartments. they're really small actually. REALLY SMALL. and my current room now would be bigger than the one i looked at today. the bedrooms looked perfect for a couple tho...i kinda felt a bit..i dunno how to put it. its a strange feeling of missing someone, wanting them there with you so bad, getting excited about having your own place, (IT'LL BE MY OWN PLACE!!), getting a bit bummed that they're not there with you, getting mad at the circumstances that are keeping you apart, but getting so excited about the ideaof having your own place.
oh well.
there were so many dogs out today. like in aotea square (now i bet if you googled that, my blog'd come up) there was this one dog near the chocolate stall that kept playing fetch with his owners. and he wore a jacket. but before he brought the stick back, he kept chewing on it. till some bits chipped off. and then there was this little ugly bug-eyed dog that sat near a stall...like he was on sale. UGH. get that thing away from me. THEN i went into MADE because they were having a sale, and i wanted to see if the shoes i liked last time were still there (they werent) and lo and behold, a dalmation was standing so still in the doorway of the shop. i thought it was a statue because he kept so still. but when i walked by, i saw him look at me, so i knew it was a real dog. his name was MAXIMUS :D
till another time. enjoy your weekend while it lasts.
