Wobble, Wobble Merry-go-round

Imagine yourself in a pathway where the corridors are covered in mud, walls made of grass and tree-climbers and the sky is pitch black. You are in the middle of a fork, not knowing which path leads to which way. Wondering whether you'll return safe and sound or move on to you-know-where and never come back, you keep walking aimlessly. You feel like quitting after many attempts, dejected and such; but then you've reached the light at the end of pathway before you realised it.

That's how I felt in the middle of the day.

Mei Xian miss-called me to look for her, but when I replied, she said she was eating. She then asked me to look for her at the financial counter, but then I couldn't see her. Met another friend along the way, asking for directions, but instead being my victim by joining me in a mad rush. Feeling VERY guilty for that :( Called Mei Xian again, told her I was waiting at the foyer..and after a while, I saw her walking towards it. Ima..

She then showed me that the financial counter was up at the stairs near the entrance of Monash...being where I was just now. Eep. Mei Xian helped me to ask for PTPTN (well, it's a study loan...the one highlighted in the mass media a few years ago), but the people asked us to head for the Student Admin Department. Okay...so, ran along the corridors with a few minutes to spare to the first floor..only to be told the officer-in-charge was on leave. Sigh..

With my friend and Mei Xian tagging along, we went finding Room 402 at the Sunway block. Heck, running up the staircase wasn't enough; we had to scurry under the hot, sweltering sun..at almost the whole floor!! Asking the cleaner wasn't of much help too!! When we were there, I knocked on the door...only to find another group of students with their teacher there.

"You're late for class!!"
"CAT's at Room 3.7, Monash Block!!"

Argh...so we ran again, this time to the library. (Mei Xian has left by now.) The receptionist allowed us in with our bags, showing us the shortcut to Monash Block. Again, ran to the Discussion Area, found an emergency exit...locked.

Yup, yup, one disappointment after another...

So..ran out from the library, gave thanks to the receptionist...and ran all the way down to the first floor, and to the other block. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long for the elevator..when it came, we went in with some others..and crammed ourselves up to the 3rd. floor.

Over there, we could only see rooms 3.1 and 3.2....made us even more worried and panicky..and even got stuck whether to head left or right. Halfway through, we realised we were at the wrong side of the block...and ran again. This time, we discovered a glass door, the entrance to most classrooms...and found it in the flick of an eye + a few steps.

The lecturer wasn't there yet..so we weren't late!! Yay!!

Just had a brawl with my parents...it's my constant nagging and pining again...but everything's cooled down (for now).

Now what??

There's a photo session tomorrow, and I don't know what to wear...

Swear it, You'll Get It

I feel weird at work.

Everyone seems to be distancing themselves away from me, and everytime I come in, they fall silent. And heck, just today, they almost missed calling me out for take-away.

What the heck is happening here? Is it that having close relations with the director make you pissed off? To make matters worse, I'm not fluent in Mandarin at all. And Woan Ling just smiles at me sheepishly everytime I ask for stuff (she's in charge of the inventory)...but I know she's kind of scared and too 'kam kai' inside. Can't explain..I just can't mix with them that much...:(

Anyway, I'll try to prove them wrong...at ALL costs.

Call me a Reverse Emo...or an Emo..or BOTH!! >.<

Oh yeah, reading some of my friends' blogs makes me think mine a pointless one. :(
