Farewell Assembly/Graduation
I’m not going to go on a long speech here about the graduation today because my keyboard is irritating me. The “r” key isn’t working very well, and it’s affecting the other keys that are nearby too. Now, when I want to type “r”, I use my clipboard. Anyway…
Farewell Assembly/Graduation
10 years. 10 long years. 10 long years that ended today.
Many “last” things happened over this week (save for PE lessons which ended last week). The last lessons of my school life for each subject, last assembly. My official last lesson was English.
It’s been a nice 10 years in this school. The official lessons have ended, now for the unofficial ones.
Today, we had the farewell assembly. Interesting, memorable one.
It ended at about 1pm, whereupon we were dismissed. I collected my report book for the last time, which I’d never have to return again…I suppose I’m used to being scolded for conveniently forgetting my report book when I have to return it.
We had food – Pizzas and Bubble Tea (I think Pizzas are the norm everywhere -.-”). The Bubble Tea was either with Egg or Mango pudding, I heard both versions – maybe it simply just contains both of them 
.
Maybe I’ll continue this next time, about the farewell assembly.
Later part of the day…
Went home later, logged on and got a message from Dan – and this got me cursing at CentOS and Yum now – and till now, I still am. It’s a really weird problem – a newer version of CentOS is installed and yet somehow or another, an old version of Yum (yum –version) is installed. That’s not that bad, because I could just jolly well reinstall everything but rpm says that the newest package is installed -.-”.
The CD is probably 6 years old.
Look! Maths below, I’m doing my work

 Inside the Jewel Casing |
 The Game Manual. See how crumpled it is |
 And the CD itself - scratchful. |
But anyhow, I got a little too distracted with his problem that I forgot about the time. I had to meet this guy who wanted to buy my Midtown Madness 2 CD at Bugis.
Of course, Murphy’s Laws come into play – “if anything can go wrong, it will.”
I went out, needing to take 851. But here’s the problem – there was no bus in sight, save for a Nissan CSS on 852 and the fact that there was no one at the bus stop – which probably means I missed all possible combinations of buses I can take except for the one staring at me.
Facing time and the situation at hand, I boarded the bus and took it for one stop. The distance of one stop here is 2 roads away, not the normal distance of two bus stops that we’d normally see. Over there, I was hoping that a bus I can transfer to Thomson Road would come (more options there). Alas, it doesn’t – one that doesn’t go near there, but brings me closer to Thomson Road. Hence, I boarded 132. Alighted at SJI – and no buses arrive for the next 5 minutes. Great! Then 167 came about, I took it to Thomson Medical Center (finally!) and there I had much more choices. By then I was already 10 minutes late – and the thought of cabbing down snuck into my mind, since it isn’t nice of me to be late. But it was for a legitimate reason . Ignoring that, I waited for the next bus to change to – and 851 arrived – which means I’ve just spent my time changing buses for nothing.
Nevertheless, I spent only a exorbitant sum of $0.00 changing buses and for the whole journey. The journey to Bugis was only 15 minutes by the way and the reason why I didn’t pick the cab was because it was only 15 minutes away.
Anyhow, after parting with the disc. I went over to the bus stop to catch a bus to the usual place I studied. Whilst waiting, this guy came up to me and asked me how to get to Chinatown – of course, 851 – I told him. Then he said I need to get to Hill Street. It wasn’t particularly helpful that he started with Chinatown then said Hill Street, because Hill Street isn’t in Chinatown (although near) – so I was actually thinking along the lines of Hill Street, Chinatown and I thought it didn’t exist.
Suddenly I recalled, and asked him if it was near Funan – he said he doesn’t know and then showed me a map. My thoughts: Why couldn’t you just show me earlier -.-”, by then I had already started Nokia Maps on my phone. Anyhow, I managed to direct him to the place with the most precise instructions I could give – and, he didn’t want to go to Hill Street. He wanted to go to The Central, which wasn’t quite along Hill Street, but more like – near Hill Street.
My bus arrived right after I was done with him – how timely, and his arrived behind mine too. Took the bus all the way to my usual study haunt – and it was crowded today! 
Almost everyone studying there seemed like ‘O’ Level Students, I was doing Chemistry to prepare for Saturday. These 2 girls next to me were doing Integration and Differentiation on Maths and possibly other things.
Doing Chemistry 
Then I recalled – Shit! I forgot to hand up my work to my teacher!
To make things worst, I called her to ask her if she wants me to hand it up today by hook or by crook because I thought I had the paper with me and could just drop by school to hand it up since it was my fault for forgetting. Thank goodness she said she didn’t want it today anymore – because, I didn’t have the paper with me :\.
Anyway, after studying till almost 9PM. I went joy-riding on buses, while reading my History Notes (studying on the fly).
- 190 from Scotts Road to Choa Chu Kang Interchange
- 927 from Choa Chu Kang Interchange to Mandai Road
- 171 from Mandai Road to Yishun Interchange
- 852 from Yishun Interchange to Home.
The moment I reached home – started solving Dan’s issue again – but to no avail 
.
I’ll try tomorrow, if I have the time to. Meanwhile, I think I better stop here although I’d probably have much more. I can’t believe I typed so much without the “r” button.
