AJC TRIP + RICE DUMPLING TRIP.
Wednesday
Woke up at around 9 to get ready go to school and get the Edusave form for the rice dumpling trip with LCL today. Met up with Clara in school to request some help from her with regards to my application form that is going to be submitted later on. She had agreed to come along at first but because she felt guilty after going out for 2 days straight, she had to withdraw from it. Lucky I had Leo to join me to AJ for the submission of my DSA application form.
The security in schools island wide is rather tight. You have to leave your particulars, reason for entering, area of school entering before you step into school. So after I was done with Clara, I met up with Leonard at BB MRT station. Thought that all was going fine, but it suddenly strucked me that I had sent Leonard an incomplete Personal Statement. Apparently I might have over edited my Personal Statement and sent both Clara and Leonard an incomplete one. Leonard and I rushed all the way back to my house to get it edited. So darn sorry having Leonard to run around with me.
After editing, we also had another problem - we needed to find a printer that could work. Mine doesn't work and after much searching, I ended up paying $1 to print my Personal Statement at the photo printing shop at Lot 1 basement. So darn expensive, but had no choice, most importantly was getting it printed in time.
We managed to find our way to AJC even though we had some problems along the way. Either I had mistook what Clara had said or Clara had given me the wrong information, I alighted at Ang Mo Kio Station. It turns out that it is much further and I would need to take a bus to AJC if I alight here. It was so much closer that it was shocking for Leonard and I when we saw how close the school building was to Yio Chu Kang Station.
I had some problems when I reached the General office too. Other than the security, it turns out that my applications has some blanks in it. Had not checked it thoroughly enough I guess. The man serving me at the general office had to point out to me areas to fill in here and there. So darn embarrassed, how I wished I could just find a hole to stick my head into from the shame. I had thought I only needed to submit it, turned out I had to wait for a receipt for the submission to remind me of the actual audition.
It is gonna be held on the 26th at 10am. This time round, Clara's gonna have to come support me oh alright. I don't mind a few more busybodies you know, so if interested do approach or leave a tag. So for now at least I have Clara and Leo to accompany me for the audition next Friday. Gonna have to find time to practice the song, will have to take good care of my voice until then, especially during the camp, can't afford to sleep too late on Wednesday night.
The school logo also reminded me of my Primary school.
This is why:
If you can see SVPS school logo, you would notice the similarities. The colours used are , the shape is similar - that of a gem.
Thursday
Woke up around the same time I did yesterday and reached school just on time. I was worried that I was going to be late so the moment I got onto bus 188, I messaged An Hua that I might be late for a few minutes.
The bus driver uncle had some difficulty finding his way to the restaurant, had sort of an argument with Ms Lee before we even set off. We were supposed to reach there at 1030 and in the end we only reached there at 1130. We ended up eating for lunch first before we tour the place. Nothing much to see around though.
The meal was rather simple, nothing explicitly delicious or special. Then the tour was also rather plain. Just look around and see the way of embroidery of the Peranakans and their way of making rice dumplings.
At the end of the tour, I bought some cakes/snacks home for my mother who had already requested I do so in the morning. LCL also bought us a rice dumpling each at the end of it all. Nothing special about the dumpling either, edible but common.
Will post up the pictures taken when the rest puts it up.
That's pretty much all for today's update.
