Preparing to fly 2

1. got my flu jab (S$20) - small needle, quite painless; i am usually not scared of needles
2. went to collect my transcript but realised it is not ready, gotta collect on monday
3. went back to lab
4. went down to Automobile Association to get international driving license (S$20) - dont follow the online map: it seems very near somerset MRT but it is NOT.. i walked a long long way. Buses there are: 32, 195 and one more which i forgot
5. went down to Diners Club at Beach Road to get my free gift
6. went down to Vivocity to get my thermal wear (S$59)
7. going to meet hall people

Going exchange is not cheap lor... Applying VISA (>S$300) and accomodation stuff (~S$30) also sucked some of my savings away. i still haven't added in my step-up transformer (S$30) and one more set of universal adaptor (~S$10) which i bought yesterday just after i went to cut my hair (Yes i cut my hair.. it is very thin now..) and before i met up with Chun York at old Tiong Bahru Market. Yes i am going to miss that place. Actually yesterday was the first time i was there after it is renovated. Now it is more spacious and hygenic but then i felt it was quite wierd. I still miss eating at the old crampy warm place with the various fish and pig stalls behind you and with smelly water underneath your slippers while you happily eat your wantan noodles/chwee kuay/oyster omelette (whoever eats with me gets to eat all the oysters cos i don't eat them) and sweat away that kind of feeling. The good thing is there is a carpark now. Bad thing is the ventilation is pathetic but there are those umbrella seats which offer a much cooler atmosphere.

I intend to make this entry a short one but then everything just came out. My thoughts are very disorganised too.. nvm la hor? =p
