let's all applause, people! for some smartass has totally ignored the underlying meaning of the word "directions".
since i ended lessons early on mondays, i always picked this day to pay my handphone bill.
having done so, i went to popular to buy MAR book 14 but it wasn't in stock.
remembering that tenchi, the comic shop below popular, had relocated to parkway builders, i called my mother to ask if she still have that recruitment flyer that they sent a few weeks back so she could tell me which floor the shop is on.
seriously, luck isn't on my side today.
she told me that the flyer had already been thrown away, and will i be coming home for lunch?
my thirst for manga had me make the dumb choice of searching the building, not caring that i don't have the shop's exact location.
clever me remembered that the flyer had said that the shop was *quote flyer*
ABOVE MacDONALD'S.
so i decided to test its literal meaning and took the lift up to the second floor.
all i saw was tuition centres.
nevermind, maybe it was a few more floors higher.
and up i climbed, the slightly moulding, stuffy and just a bit humid staircase.
tuition centres.
oh well. climb climb..
tuition centres.
climb climb..
tuition centres, pool house.
climb climb..
climb climb..
*getting just a little pissed* climb climb..
from the railing, i could see the last tuition centre on the opposite corridor and decided that i'll just stop on that level, whether or not i found that damn shop.
climb climb..
tuition centre, music centre, tuition centre.
that's it!
i don't give a shite about that godbedamned shop anymore!
i'm going home!
pressed for the lift and looked around, waiting for it to come up.
wow, i've climbed to the nineth floor without knowing it!
and why is there a direction plate on that pillar on the corner? surely it's another flight of stairs behind it..
huh? there're glass doors behind the pillar! and those look remotely like.. shelves!
when i got closer to it, wth? it's that shop!
and it has a tag hanging behind the door that says "OPEN" when it's all dark and closed..
=.= wtfh..
and strictly speaking, not any part or wall of the shop is near ABOVE MacDONALD's.
how in the world do they expect people to find their shop when it's literally hidden inside the corner of the building, behind a friggin pillar?!
oh, this had glamourously undermined the definition of the phrases "vague directions" and "remote location".
you know what, comics connection is more of my cup of tea.
go sod yourself, tenchi!
MEH!
