Whoa,it felt good being out nearly the whole day,its been long.Was still feeling moody n having randomly swinging moods,but I went ahead to the NUS open house this morning with Roy.Though given my behavior and Roy's response,it just made the whole outing rather..amusing.
Firstly I was 10mins late,Roy being the punctual guy went ahead to the open house (F5)
So I had to navigate around after reaching Dover.
Ben: eh Roy,so like where's the shuttle bus stand?
Roy: oh just go down the escalator
Ben: uh..but there's like 2 sides?
Roy: oh..then..hmm..Just follow the students there!
*whole place filled with students*
Ben:...thanks man,that's reaaal helpful,yea.
Roy: yea no prob,cya here man!
Ben: tch..
Apparently Roy won't notice sarcasm even if it danced naked right infront of him *facepalm*
Anyway honestly,the open house was boring,totally boring,but I accepted it for all its lousiness since I wanted to come out for once instead of being at home which is miserable.
Still,their open house was "one kind".For one,they handed out balloons to people.Like we're small kids ._.
*walking*
Random guy: HI sir welcome to our open house *gives a goodie bag tt looks like a lady's handbag sort*
Ben: uh thanks..(it was embarrassing walking around with it)
Random girl: HI welcome to NUS open house 09! *gives a bright orange balloon*
Ben: *the hell?!* uhh..No thanks *quickly walks off*
geez,do I look like some little kid that still plays with balloons..
Finally after walking around,mildly irritated with the crowd(I dislike crowds alot,naturally) found Roy.
And this Roy,was like some excited kid in a carnival,running up and down attending to all the different talks,as soon as one of the speakers say "for more info you can go to this place at so and so level" ,He'll immediately go there x__x
I on the other hand,didn't show much appreciation during the talks. =/
Well,its boring man..c'mon the guy in engineering talk kept talking about building new stuff,and creating bla bla,shape the tomorrow of the world bla
I kept yawning throughout that talk,easily earning some stares from people nearby ._.'l|
Science talk had pics of colourful stuff,so colourful,I fell asleep.
Luckily,I went in as one of the last so I was sitting at the back,phew.
Then Roy went running around the different booth in the admission room,while I just went around collecting free pens and sweets (only orange flavour though)
The only nearest to interesting thing there was the cca exhibition,though,most of the CCAs seemed..nerdy
We got approached by this cute girl halfway through,cute,until she started talking about her "political club" where they discuss bout political issues of this age bleh bleh.
Roy was giving her his 101% attention lol,I gave her 90% for awhile since she was cute.
*1 minute later*
I walked off to the martial arts booth instead.
Which was totally dissapointing,the only people attending the booth were people from kendo,taekwando and judo.Yet Aikido was in the list.
Where did the Aikido practitioners go F5
All in all so-so,The stage performance was crappy,this band came and sang some chinese songs though I just heard lots of noise and static from em,*shrugs*
Finally we headed to the food tent (like finally! I was starving and I had a bad habit of getting hungry very fast)
We got free coke,a bottle each,now that was the best thing that happen at NUS the whole day =_='l|
yey free coke
Me and Roy ordered Waffles ( mine was with honey maple syrup *____*) His had some chocolate fudge nonsense (bleh) I woulda gone for another one with,this time with caramel..if only it weren't so darn expensive F5 like 2.50 for one
And,the maple syrup so little...=_= 90% of e waffle was as good as plain,not to mention stupid Roy stole 1/4 of it(cos they broke the 4 parts of the waffle and gave us)
Clumsy Roy after that dropped his coke bottle and then proceeded to open it,totally forgettin the gas F5 ..and spilled it on both our shirts T__T jus abit so noone saw,man sheesh..
*anyhow open bottle*
*whiiish*
Ben: !?!
Roy: eh wth!
Ben: R-Roy..my shirt! dammit my shirt! woi (F5)
Roy: oh..oh crap,sry man..eh my shirt also tiok sia,nvm la,abit only,can't see,*give smart aleck smile*
Ben: *devastated* DUDE!your shirt is like..PINK look look! mine is white sia..its gonna b obvious..ahhhhh
Roy: Relax la bro..dun worry,won't see one
Took me awhile to get pass the fact that my brilliant white shirt got ruined,see,that's why I don't wear white shirts out,even though I like em.
15mins after lamenting over it and finishing the waffle we left..to the IT fair at suntec,so the deal was to meet another friend,WR,there since he was the one that asked us.
All was good until we got stuck in this MASSIVE human traffic at citylink,massive cause like..100++ people all stuck there not moving,like wth I still don't have a clue why noone was moving for so long.It took us 15mins just to get up the escalator only to turn and..
see another 150+-200 people stuck all the way through corridor.
We went back down(battling through the rough idiots who couldn't comprehend that we were giving them space to move forward) and went via the war memorial park instead.
Suntec wasn't any better,got stuck again halfway at tower 2.We decided to go from the outside(battling through the rain this time). Halfway through,stupi WR msg saying
"I'm at the IT fair,so crowded sia,human traffic,scary,I'm going home,haha bye"
Gonna kill him the next time,I swear.
The IT fair was a bore..totally,digital cameras as far as the eye could see..sheesh where were the MP4 players and stuff.I left in like 15mins.
All in all,It was an oddball of a day,but it gave me alittle time out from all my scattered thoughts,take little weight off.
But I still hate human traffic.Especially senior citizens inside human traffic,they have some invisible right to push license or something.
scary ._.
oh yea,I dumped the NUS goodie bag in one of the cubicles at Dover MRT..I hope they don't mistaken it for a bomb
