yesterday was quite a terribly exhausting day. well, not as exhausting as those hall camp days, but enuf to hav me panting thru out the whole aftnn actually. i was jus overestimating myself for being able to run to so many places within the same aftnn. i'm pretty surprised i didnt collapse halfway.

let's see now, first pit stop: Jurong Point. went there to fetch money. wait a minute, doesn't your hall hav a stupid ATM machine oso? why did u hav to go all the way to jurong point?? haha~ i'm totally not used to that fact. and jurong point's on the way anyway too ma, not much diff for me la. but one thing worth mentioning: the lunch crowd in NTU is FREAKING BIG!!! i couldn't board two consecutive 179 buses cos they're totally packed! mental note to not take 179 during lunchtimes.

din really do much at Jurong Point, so i set off for my second destination: Harbourfront Centre. it was the BiG superstore that attracted me there, cos i needed a damn cheap hairdryer with a safety logo. got one in the end for jus $12.90.

next up, Suntec City. carrefour is my main target actually. planning to get cheap hot water bottles and see if i could grab any cheap stuff by chance. haha~ got one hot water bottle, one normal water container, and one pair of gloves. cheapskate me.

ok, from then on, it's all walking. i din really wan to spend too much money on bus. so i walked all the way to the new Lee Kong Chian Reference Library to get information on something. (That's the reason for the previous post). climbed up 11 storeys to reach the Singapore Collection section and was reminded politely by the security guard to switch off my hp. altho he did it in a very polite manner, i still feel like telling him off, saying it's not my first time coming to a library. but heck, by the way i dressed yesterday (totally beng and pretentiously young looking), i gave him the benefits of the doubt. haha~

next up, Bras Basah Complex, otherwise known as Shu1 Cheng2 (City of Books). wonder how many ppl know of this term for this place. haha~ anyway, went to popular to do my stationery shopping. ya lor. but by that time, i'm feeling slightly groggy and nauseus. yee~ quickly settled down at the kopi tiam and drank a cup of teh before i went on.

supposed to meet Beldin at Bugis at 6pm, so i went to kino to look around first. not much of books to buy. two on my list now: Michael Cunningham's new book (which i forgot the title now), and J K Rowling's new instalment in the Harry Potter series. damn tempted to get Harry Potter, but managed to be persuaded out of it and when i found out i could get it at the cost price. YEA! shall wait patiently. ;)

i was feeling a bit dizzy and everything lunging the many plastic bags here and there. and further more, i'm just afraid i can't reach bugis in time to meet beldin and seeban. it was like amazing race all over again. NOOO~
