Horoscope Fun



"In midweek, perhaps on Wednesday, you may be taken out of your normal routine and start an unexpected journey."

That little horoscope excerpt came from issue 725 of 8 Days magazine. I am usually not very superstitious about such things, but since I am already aware of it, I might as well see if I can recognize any 'unexpected journies' I might make for Wednesday.
---------------

My day started off with a CS3214 project consultation with the lecturer, Danny. He touched on the project documentation, but being more concerned about the actual implementation, I asked him for his advice. His reply was rather long, but it all boiled down to one thing: he wanted us to find out ourselves. Looks like it is definitely not going to be easy. Oh, well. Seven more weeks before the deadline...

When we left, there was a little bazaar outside LT27, so we went to shop around. There were all sorts of stuff on sale, including boxer shorts, jewellery, health products, posters and even designer trash cans. I didn't buy anything though cos' it was all too expensive. Oh, well. Enough shopping. Time to go.

When I was leaving, I recalled how Sylvia was admiring a bracelet back at the bazaar, though she didn't buy it. It suddenly occured to me that I could have bought it for her as a gift because her birthday is coming this Saturday. I soon brushed the thought out of my mind when I realized that this is something that I normally wouldn't even consider doing. It felt strange. *_*

(*Unexpected 'Journey' 1: Usually, I would leave school ASAP after any project meeting. Bazaars aren't to my liking. And buying presents for people is something I don't normally do.)

At AMK, when it was evening, I asked both Chaosmag & Fengokill if they were interested in accompanying me to Books Kinokuniya to purchase the new DM book promo. I was rather surprised that the two of them agreed so willingly. Even I myself felt lazy about making the long trip down to Orchard, but what the hey.

(*Unexpected 'Journey' 2: Usually, I would never think of traveling to more than one place on a week day. It's a waste of time.)

We made our purchases quick and returned to AMK for dinner. By then, it was 9 pm. I was rather eager to play-test more DM after the recent new bans/restrictions. After the shop closed, Chris told me that he couldn't give me a lift home, so I followed Damnpissed and the rest to KFC to play more DM. Damnpissed was trying out his new Water deck and I was interested in seeing it, too. We hung out till 11 pm, then it was time for me to take a cab home.

(*Unexpected 'Journey' 3: Usually, I would go straight home at the end of the day, but since Chris wasn't free, I chose to hang out longer and took a cab home.)

Was it the horoscope that came true or my own subsconscious mind making it all happen unknowingly?
Oh, well. The latest horoscope in this week's 8-Days (issue 726) mentions that I will soon be able to "kick-start my romantic life".

Uh, yeah, right. @_@
