The Spree... Plus Mr Genki starts calling names...
First, let Mr Genki thank those who had been there at St James to support the bash PUNKiNUS. A big thank you to all supporters. Without you, our success wouldn't be possible.
However, not everything went as successful as the bash did. Tutorial registration in NUS is simply a pain in the butt. Though Mr Genki could get quite disorganised at times, he had made very careful plans for his tutorials and thus has high expectation that everything would go well. Believe this or not, I actually missed my first choice tutorial for balloting. The results were calamitous. Instead of being allocated a 1200-1300hrs tutorial slot, I was given a 1700-1800hrs slot. In essence, it'll be a long wait for this class EVERY TUESDAYS such that Mr Genki has to go home sweet home 5hrs later!
It explains why I ranked 1200-1300 as my FIRST CHOICE for tutorial registration. Nothing could be worse than poor fortune. Well, Mr Genki tried appealing and the answer is a straight NO. How sympathetic can NUS get... I HATE NUS...
Well, what else can I do but to submit to ill-fate and say "it's give and take". Nevertheless, Mr Genki realised that he is still overall fortunate to have his good friends around, which sort of cheered him up a little.
Japanese food at the Techno Edge is great, that is only if you're having Katsu Don. Tried the Unagi Don today, but yucks. Well, I shouldn't be complaining too much since it's inexpensive Japanese food to begin with (and I wouldn't complain at all if it's Katsu Don). Anyway, lunch wouldn't be any interesting if you're eating alone (even if it's Katsu Don). Thanks Bo, Jan, Val and Wei for the company. Though the Bo and Jan never knew Val and Wei in anyway. Just take them as your 2nd degree friends as you play Friendster real life. You guys and gals may try adding each other as friends if you want to.
Despite Mr Genki's misfortune in tutorial registration, happy is still the word to describe his feelings. Met Cheryl, Marvin and Wei (ah.. Not again) back at Business School. Bummed around for quite a while and then left for Orchard. Yes, we are going to shop!
I must applaud for Marvin's topography in this Sunny Island of Singapore. It's no wonder they called him a GPS. Thanks for the directions. And not forgetting to thank Cheryl for driving us to town and back home. Thank You...
And these are images of my gains in the spree.
From left, Cream U2 sweater $19, Topman Boot Cut Jeans $53
Note that these pictures are taken as I put out my gains on the floor! Well, Mr Genki has got to little room in his little room to do something extravagant like a fashion photoshoot. And the images are taken still from a pathetic integrated camera phone. Correction, I should say humble integrated camera phone.
And I was so tempted to get this Topman shirt
And the price is $69. As I struggled emotionally for a decision to get the shirt, I secretly took out my humble camera and took a picture of it (And Lene claimed that I looked bemused in the pic). Eventually Marvin convinced me it's going to be cheaper soon since it has been in the shop for a season already. Oh well, let's leave something for the next spree.
As our poor stomach starts to growl, we soon realised that it's already 7:30pm and we hadn't had dinner. Sakae Sushi at Funan was the next stop as planned.
I should say we got a little too greedy to have chose the buffet set and eaten beyond our hearts' content. The results: over-filled stomach and pukey feeling. Over-eaten... Not forgeting to mention one more name, Liwei. Met him for the 2nd time in the day while we were dining at Sakae.
To be really honest, initially Mr Genki was quite worried that he will have problems making new friends in NUS as he parts with his old mates from JC days. The fact that he could mention so many names while blogging for occurances in just ONE day shows that his worries were needless. Thank You my friends for being so nice and friendly. Alright, I'm getting a little sleepy and I'm not quite sure of what I've blogged about or going to blog about already. But I'm not drunk! Till next time... I'll call even more names (NO negative connotations intended)!
