Chapter 339: National Day Week

Tues: After some tiring and tortourous journey taking bus home, this day, my cousin came to fetch me from camp. He fetched me to Mount Faber SAFRA there. As coveralls is not allowed outside, I had to bring along civi to change.. which I did in the car, which of course is easy considering my experience in changing in cars.

We then proceeded to the Emart to buy running vest and shorts, as the ones I bought before are too big.. as they didn't have the smaller size at that point in time.

After that, we left for Vivo City. We went there for dinner. I wanted to eat at Burger King, but luck is not on my side... there are no seats available for us to dine in. Sad to say, BK lost the business and handed it over to KFC. I ate Zinger Burger Meal. The meal consists of 1 coleslaw and 1 mashed potato.. and I only eat the latter. Thankfully, my cousin is nice enough to swap with me so that I get 2 mashed potatos, and he got 2 coleslaws.

We then walked around awhile, before leaving for home.

Wed: Half Day. Left camp at around 1330 hrs. Took a cab to attend the chalet held by my trade. We told the taxi uncle "NSRCC". He did not know where that was -.- So, we had to search for it via smartphones, and call people to ask... in the end, we were told that it is around Tanah Merah Country Club area. With that and some pointers from Desmond Tan, we got there. And it was unfortunate for Arvind, who left his beret in the taxi...

We then went to the chalet. Changed from no. 3 to civi, sit down, watch TV (olympics mainly), drink, eat.. played awhile of Mahjong without money (we are good people that do not gamble).

Then, the striking problem in hand... how do we get out?!

Option 1: Shuttle bus
Option 2: Private transport
Option 3: Walk out
Option 4: Unorthodox manners (e.g. cycle, rollerblade)

I was thinking about that around 7.10pm. The shuttle bus timings are 7.15 and 8.45. 7.15 is sure a miss, 8.45 is kind of late. Oh, during this time, Jefferson called me to ask me out for movie... so I had to get out of this place asap... so, I settled for option 2, to wait for Jian Hui's dad to fetch us.

So we waited till 8.30 before we are out. He fetched me to Kembangan MRT, I then changed train from green to orange, from orange to red, to AMK. Rushed down to the pool place to find Jeff and friends.

Played 2 matches with them, 2 vs 2 format, won both with Jeff, against Zheng Lin and Liang Xing.
We then went to watch the movie "The Bourne Legacy".

ZL had to leave early before the movie ends, so the remaining 3 of us continued to watch until around 12.20am.

---Realisation struck me---

How to get home?
MRT gone
Bus? Rushed to check the timing... 2330 hours. WHAT?!
Taxi? I just spent a considerable sum last saturday...

So, I called home to seek assistance. I asked if my dad could fetch me... He fetched me, with my family, at 1 am. The worse thing is that he had to wake up 5.30am tmr.. I feel bad.
I shouldn't have agreed to watch the movie... damn.
