I Hate Crowded Places

I hate crowded places.

That is why if I can help it, I won’t step my foot in Orchard Road. But today I haven’t got a choice. I need to get some gift vouchers from Kinokuniya. They are prizes for the recent poetry-writing competition.

If I tell you 8 out of 10 times I got lost in Orchard Road will you believe me? You better believe it my friends.

Today for some funny reasons I though Kinokuniya is at The Heeren. I’ve been there a few times, but why did I have this silly thought in my head I haven’t got a clue.

Anyway I spent some times searching for the bookshop in The Heeren before realizing I was at the wrong place. The branch I am looking for is at Takashimaya. But silly me once out of The Heeren I headed towards the wrong direction, i.e. away from Takashimaya.

It took me almost an hour to get to my destination.

I hate crowded places.

It's ok .... All real poets hate crowds!

I'm with you. I often skip the school holiday parties because there are too many people in such a small place.

>>I hate crowded places.

Yeah me too. If it wasn't for the bookstores, I wouldn't go down to Orchard at all.

I can't help laughing. But I too might get lost in, say, Suntec City.
