Somerset 313!
had 2 eventful days in a row!
yesterday, i went for a US-China relations lecture in the morning at Buona Vista. had to reach there at 9ish, so i woke up at 7AM! had not woken up at such ungodly hours for a long long time alreadyy. throughout the entire trip, i was half asleep, and kept thinking to myself: if only the circle line were complete, then my trip would be half an hr shorter! anyway, the trip was pretty informative, but we saw many big shots attending the lecture, including MPs and colonels, so we felt like small fries in the lecture theatre.
after that, i took another 45 min ride back home, had lunch, then went out for tea with my ex-tutee's dad. had quite a long chat, and then realised i was running late for my networking session at NUS, so i rushed back, had a quick shower, and took the train again to CLEMENTI.
once again, the single thought in my mind throughout the entire trip was: why isnt the circle line complete. so for the second time in a day, i had a really long train ride. met
weijun at clementi, and we both werent very certain of the directions. when we exited the train station, within seconds we were already a little lost since we couldnt find the bus that we wanted to take. we later managed to find a bus stop with the bus service which we were looking for around 400metres down. im so glad i didnt study at NUS otherwise ill die from the INSANE travelling time! finally, we reached NUS, and after some wrong turns, we managed to find the venue for our networking session. The entire building was a real maze, we actually found the venue without passing by the registration counter, so we had to backtrack to register at the counter.
finally got to meet up with my buddy and several other PSC scholars who are coming over to cambridge. seems like we have a lot less scholars coming to camb this year as compared to the last, and they are all taking pretty exotic subjects haha. after that, went to chat with my buddy and her parents, and then we went over to Udders at novena to continue talking about my camb experience. that reminded me of my internship memories last year, where we frequented the food centres around this area, and dropped by Udders for dessert (:
the next day, i went over to RJ to find some teachers and chat with my students! had a great time talking to my students whom ive not seen for either 6 months or a year! some of my teachers commented that i was very free since i had alr came back to school twice within a week LOL. after that, went to somerset 313 and shopped around there! yay now theres only orchard central left and ill be done catching up with the latest developments in town area ;) theres still helix bridge and IR on my to-visit list though :D
going kbox later today! *excited*
P.S. last night i was being compared with a fangirl. this is disturbing O_O
