20 days to exams!!!!! I can't wait for the exams to be over! My last paper is on 25 april, which is one month from now. After that I will be freed! Haha I am the only one ending my exams first. Quite lucky I suppose.
Anyway, this afternoon I walked passed this optical shop that is near my house. It has closed down! I was quite sad when I saw the signboard saying "for rent". From my first pair of spectacles to my contact lenses now,it's all from that shop (only one pair that is from another shop). And that means I have been patronising them since my secondary school days...8 years! And suddenly it has closed down.
I guess I have become emotionally attached to the shop. The salesgirls there are quite friendly and one of them took great pains to teach me how to put on contact lenses lor. It has been so many years that we would smile to each other when we walked passed each other. I could not help feeling quite sad about their closure. As I was thinking about it, suddenly it dawned upon me what one of my profs said yesterday. He was saying that people may grew attached to their neighbourhood and would hestitate about moving out. It's true. I have been staying in this Bishan neighbourhood for 11 years and even though I moved house once, it was still within the neighbourhood haha. If I were to move out of this neighbourhood one day, I guess I would miss it.
Will you miss your neighbourhood as well?
