Discoveries of the Year
Today was such an eventful day! For starters, I got up at an unearthly hour - 730am (my stds are 1130 btw). That's because I wanted to follow Wei back to NTU to pay off my computer loan. Yup, so I trudged back to NTU with my eyes barely open.. argh!
Once we reached the Boon Lay MRT station, I realised that the old bus interchange had been torn down! There's a new temporary one built on the grass patch at the other side of the MRT station. So this makes Discovery No. 1.
So after boarding 179 and all, I finally ended up in the all too familiar place - school. Recalling how I had to go to the Office of Finance at the Administration Building in my freshie year to get my computer loan done and pay overdued tuition fees (coz there was a cashier there), common sense told me to go back there to make payment. Lo and behold, although I distinctly remembered that the cashier was on the 3rd floor, I was greeted by a huge wall and a card-security glass door on the 3rd floor! Well, it did say Office of Finance alright but it seemed to be more like the back office. That was just what I needed after getting 2 huge blisters on my toes while trying to rush there and get my payment done! Right, so I decided to call them up and find out where have they moved to. The Student Services Centre, I was told. Great, that's like all the way at the Admin Annexe. But that wasn't the worst, the worst part was that they didn't accept VISA - this means I can't get my payment done! AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! So Discovery No. 2 is that the cashier for the Office of Finance has moved to the Student Services Centre.
After all the hoohah, I got really hungry.. Since I was gonna meet Wei for lunch after his class, I decided to go grab a light bite first so pau came to mind. Hence, I started walking to Canteen B to grab the all so familiar pau. My my, when I got there, the place was like a madhouse (ok, no big deal coz it's like that most of the time)! I squeezed thru the crowd at the noodles and chinese food stall so as to get to the pau stall. BUT, omg.. the pau stall disappeared!! In its place was a newly opened Western Food stall! To confirm my suspicions that the pau stall had indeed disappeared, I walked to and fro the entire canteen probably twice! I was like ?!@#@!? I want my pau!!!! Then I thought what the heck, i'll just go grab a milo then since I was bloody hungry. Hence, I pushed my way through to the drinks stall. Then while paying for my milo, I realised that the drinks stall now sells pau! And the auntie who was collecting money was the pau auntie! Hahahahahaha... so the pau stall didn't disappear after all, it just merged with the drinks stall.. hahahahaha... funny... that's my Discovery no. 3!
Gosh, in conclusion, I felt so out of place in school... quite a number of changes, I would say. Would you believe that it was only 4 months ago that I was still in school, rushing for tutorials/lunch etc? Shucks.. SOOO many changes in a short period of time... Sob, I still wanna feel like I belong there!! =(
ps: oh yar, even Coffee Club Express changed. That coffee joint is now known as "Caffe Express"
