Happy Teacher's Day! The speech was boring (not the eng one the chi one), but concert band was good. =D Saw the teachers waving their roses at the back. 4C's performance was SPLENDID. No sarcasm here. Pity our sch sound system spoilt bits of it. Games were -.-.

But the highlight of what happened was afterward. You see my wallet was missing. So therefore = no $$ no EZlink. NO EZ LINK. So had to go make another one in Pasir Ris. (thank goodness i didnt go to buena vista) Qi Jing told me that need to go report to police station, then get a photo to make new one. So thats what I did. I went to the police station (took the bus so used change instead) only to be told by the police officer that missing Ezlink cards DO NOT NEED TO BE REPORTED TO THE POLICE. >.<
So as I had no change, I had to walk all the way back to White Sands in the rain. Thank goodness for the umbrella. However part of it spoilt at the end.
Then I found the freaking ID photo taking machine but it needed $6 that I obviously didn't have. So I had to wait for my Grandpa to come. He doubted the machine and thus lead me through White Sands to look for a store that provided this sort of service. Bumped into NCC instead. So of course there wasnt such a store so we walked outside again to take the freakin photo. Looked ridiculous since I walked like a good knows how long distance without stopping.
Next thing : Finding the place to make the new EzLink.
Asked for directions and the answer I got from a rude officer was "the right of the interchange!"
So we walked there but we still could not find it. Then we walked back again to find a different officer who gave us the same directions. Finally I saw the SIGNBOARD above me that showed the way. When I reached there, turns out I needed my birth cert to make the card. And I also needed to report the loss not to the police, but to some no. the person there gave me. Next week have to go get a refund. Also need to cancel the library use of the card.

Man. Its so difficult to replace one freaking card. SFJLGRH;JTE

And i think I have a fever. Being caught in the rain and all. *sneezes*
