I was annoyed at having to go to work on Saturday so I stayed up late the night before.
On Thursday, I still remembered trying to drop hints to my boss to see if I could skip this Saturday. "Tomorrow is Labour Day," I told her, putting on a hopeful smile, "But I'll be here on Saturday." "Okay, good," came the blunt reply.
Ah, well. At least I tried. When I got to work, the office was even more desserted than usual. It was just me, the clerical staff and one guy. Due to the lack of sleep, I was a zombie.
After work, I went to Funan Centre for lunch. I met up with Duelist, Addict and Justin and we went to GameScore. The couple who owned the store were getting married that morning so they were having a storewide 20% discount for the weekend. I actually found it a bit alarming that they came back to open the store straightaway after their wedding. I would have congratulated them but I didn't know them at all. I was just some random guy who was here for the sales. :(
The store was packed. I actually had three things that I really wanted to buy but I was extremely disappointed that they were tagged with a yellow label meaning 'no discount'. Come to think of it, practically all the 'good stuff' had yellow tags.
I didn't want to go home empty handed so I thought hard before picking up one of the items I wanted before going home. The shopping took a whole lot longer than I thought and I ended up reaching home at 7 pm.
