I'm currently sitting at L2 of Qtown Library after an eventful day waiting for DW to pick up and trying to get some of my reading done for my modules.
Had a good discussion with some of my friends at Macs United Sq this morning(after wandering around like an idiot at 9.45am at Novena Sq trying to look for a non-existent Macs...) After the work was done, we took turns to complain about how stressed we are, how tutors can be so unfair, blah blah blah... which is good cos it's always good to know u r not alone (misery loves company)
Went over to Nan Hua PS in the afternoon on an emergency mission, DW had brought the digicam for her kids' chess com but didn't bring any batts (cos I was charging them). Simple directions, just alight at Clementi MRT and walk towards Ave 6, easy right? Not really when you have to walk about 800m in the hot afternoon sun carrying a full backpack (SnApPy, textbooks, pencilbag,reference books + file + 2 cups of milk tea with pearls). Met Ms. Woo YY at the sch as she had brought in the LPS team for the comp. She looked quite tired and took a little while to recognise me(has it been that long???). Maybe she's xian cos sch's starting in a few days time?
DW was not having a gd day as she had just spent the last 15min 'fighting' for her sch team's score based on some false info from her team captain, so when she was told the truth by the comp judge, she felt really stupid. Tried to console her and advised her not to 'blast' the kid too much. Classic eg of how sometimes teachers try to fight on their kid's behalf only to be disappointed by the kid.... pls don't disappoint ur 'chers ya?
After dousing the 'fire', I took the bus to the library. A bit paiseh cos there was this lady who was trying to alight at the same stop and I was quite slow to help. Ended up it was 2 makciks in front of me who gave her a helping hand instead of the big strong man T_T.
There are actually quite a lot of people studying here to my surprise. Even though it's the hols, all the tables are filled and you can even see people doing work seated on the floor. So I'm hoping that I'm influenced by them and can concentrate better. Gonna finish off with a clip from YouTube on the most publicised movie at the moment(don't forget to laugh!):
