would you like to hear about my weekend?

last saturday was one of the most interesting weekends i've ever had in awhile! went down to changi for Asian Aerospace 2006 =P

the experience itself was fantastic..the airshow was THE highlight. though we were late..about 20mins late..BUT we were lucky coz made it there in time for the fighter planes!
i've never seen aircraft fly so near in front of me before! it was great! i'm not super into such stuff but yea..it really was quite an experience. the best part of it besides actually being there are watching these aircrafts zip around, was how happy my little sis was! she aspires to be a pilot in the future..she wants to be singapore's first woman fighter pilot! yay for her..we're all super supportive of her dream!

so that was really sweet.

besides running around..oogling at all the aircraft on display..
we got to sit in various vehicles and well..took quite some pics. Oh! and we posed with this really yummy looking american pilot! =P but us being silly girls..didn't stay to talk to him!
*smacks head* i think we were alittle giddy by then..from the insane heat.

oh the heat! it was SO bloody hot that day! i mean it was good that the sky was clear..especially for the airshow..but my goodness..it was really really hot! so all of us got alittle sunburnt.
i burnt my nose..my cheeks..my right shoulder..yikes! still hurts alittle now
but i guess it was worth it coz i've not had that much fun out and about and super perspirey in a LONG time!

we were there for more than 4 hours? yea..spent the entire afternoon there
and had to walk a LONg LONG way to the busstop..that would get us back to tampines..where we parked out car. oh talking about the car..i chose to leave the car at tampines mall coz according to this website..it was $2 per entry on saturdays.
we all got a huge shock when we accumulated a parking fee of $7.75!!!!!
well somebody lied! either the site of tampines mall decided to cheat people of money since they expected more people to park there and take a bus to get to the asian aerospace!!

anyway
on to the best part of the day..
2 priceless experiences.
the first one was at the AA 2006. there was a huge human jam at this particular section coz for some reason that i don't understand, people were trying to take pictures of minature planes.
MINATURE PLANES!
WHY WOULD THEY WANNA CROWD AROUND TO TAKE PICTURES OF MINATURE PASSENGER/CARGO PLANES WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER ACTUAL AIRCRAFT ON DISPLAY OUTSIDE?!
while we were trying to get to the next spot in the exhibition hall..we were stuck there for quite a while. you really couldn't move..there was THAT little space. so my sis..the little one..who's actually not so little..she's tougher than me..she was behind me. and at one point some auntie was pushing her. i could feel it and she looked really uncomfortable so i snapped!
i lashed out at the woman " Are you pushing?! Can you not push!? "
she looked alittle stunned but the pushing stopped.

-_-

i usually don't snap at people.

well that wasn't the end of it.
later on..when we were on the bus back to tampines. another thing happened.
i was sitting beside this man. jack was in front of me. cyn, my sis..was somewhere infront with celine. so a ffew stops after we boarded..this man..dressed in polo and pants..looked like he just knocked off work..got on. and decided to situate himself beside me.
the bus wasn't crowded. there were still some spots left to sit. i don't think anyone else was standing. naturally..i felt weird. it was uncomfortable. to have my personal space invaded like that. i was wary of the man beside me..constantly keeping a lookout. his bloody crotch was centimetres away. -_-
it got to a point where the centimetres were reduced to milimetres!!
by then i already got cyn's attention..and i was tempted to ask jack for help but
somehow somewhere i just couldn't take it anymore and i shouted
"EXCUSE ME. DO YOU MIND?!"

the dude immediately mumbled a sorry? and moved abit away.
apparently it was loud. i think the whole bus heard me. my sisters were very amused and very glad i did what i did! i was abit surprised myself but i'm very proud i stood up for myself. =P

anyways i figured out the reason for my outbursts.
PMS.
heheh..
i tend to snap at people a day before i get my thingie..
i've read reports that linked PMS to violence or something along that line.
i can now say that yes..it's very true.

i guess we're just irritable during that time..not that we mean to be mean. i try not to. coz not fair la..unless of course they deserve it!

i wonder if i would have reacted differently if i wasn't pms-ing.
i hope not! to give my raging hormones all the credit wouldn't be very fair! =P
