Determination is a strength and weakness.

Finally took a trip to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre to bring my poor baby home from the Lenovo Service Centre. I swear they shouldn't name the malls after the same name and put them so far apart.
Can't they learn from Beauty World? Situated side by side, so convenient.
I rushed over after work to collect before they close at 6.30pm and god knows i ended up at Bukit Timah Plaza!
Being the muddle-headed me, i ran around the mall wondering why does this part of the building look so modern.
Took me awhile to realise that i'm at the wrong building. Oh, before that i mistaken Beauty World Plaza as Bukit Timah Shopping Centre too! Damn.
Asked around for directions to the correct venue and the security guard told me that it's a 10-15 minutes walk away, and i was left with 12 minutes before they close.
I walked and puffed and sweated like my life depended on it, and the worse thing was that my gastric was being a total big bitch and it really hurt like mad.
Surprisingly, i reached at 6.28pm! I was only left 2 minutes to travel from the ground level to level 5.
So, i took the lift and reached just nice at 6.30pm sharp!

That's just my trip there.
My trip home was worse!

I remembered clearly that there's bus service 961 from that mall to woodlands, so i took a bus to detour to that bus stop. I walked to the nearest bus stop(since i was feeling very sick), took a look at the bus route and saw 'opp Bukit Timah Plaza'.
So once again, i mistaken Plaza as Shopping Centre. I ended up at Plaza again and there's no buses back to woodlands! So i decided to turn back to the initial bus stop and walk all the way to the bus stop that i remember VERY clearly that i alighted there before. The bus stop to turn back to my previous bus stop was so freaking far, i walked like 20 minutes to reach the bus stop. That was damn far.
Finally, i came back to where i started from. Just when i alighted the bus, it started drizzling. What luck man. So i walked another 10 minutes to the bus stop that i alighted previously. If A is the place where i took bus 961 to, which means i have to go the opp side and take the bus back to woodlands. I reached there to realise that there is on bus stop there! I decided to try my luck and continue walking down the road in search of the bus stop that i have been looking for. Finally, i found the bus stop...far away. By the time i reached the bus stop i was finding for, 45 minutes has passed. That was how long i took to find A bus stop.
Reached there and realise that the bus stop is just directly behind the back exit of Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. Wow, i felt so stupid! So i waited 20 minutes for the bus and no bus came! In the end, i still took another bus to Bukit Batok Station to take the train back to Woodlands.
Struggled so hard to reach back home, the feeling sucks man. Well, i just wanted to take the bus ride and rest for that while. In the end, i still failed to take the ride.

My close friend is going Korea to study from 30th Aug to 20th Dec, gonna miss her so much. So we decided to meet up in Korea right after she end her course. Gonna be fun, i hope. So, i'm gonna start working very hard during the upcoming holiday!

Just finished an interview today, maybe starting work on next Sunday! Pay's the same as my current job but their operating hours is longer. Which means more money each day!

Plan:
Seven days a week, 5/6 days a week at Subway from 8am to 10pm and 1/2 days a week at M1 from 11am-8pm.
I shall work half day on my birthday and celebrate with my family after that! Well, i got no choice right..since mum and i share the same birth date. A few nights in the first two weeks of Sept to club with dear Mere and i shall stop clubbing till next year! I'm gonna save money for the trip! yay! I think i'm insane! YAY!
