I had the feeling things were going a bit too smoothly (approval of overseas loan, settling overseas resident permit, finally getting my apple laptop and ipod) and something was not right.
i’m not used to this kind of luck.
at this crucial time, i lost my wallet. inside i had my IC, two debit cards from two banks, 1 atm card, my matric card, cash card, plus some cash. yes, i was dumb enough to keep all that in one wallet.
the cash was my least of worries. what mattered most was my IC and one of my debit card (with all of the loaned money inside!). Once i realised my wallet was gone the first thing i wanted to do was to log on to the internet and check whether the money was still there! and to call the banks quickly to stop the thief from using my cards.
i didnt know police stations operate only on certain hours. the one i went operates from 12noon to 10pm. I reached there at 1143 and had to wait for it to open. it’s strange because i thought they operate 24/7, like 7-eleven.
oh. i just remembered i had one other major screw up. i was buying budget airline tix for my group of friends on the behalf of another friend as her debit card was out of cash. so she was tellin me the website to go, what options to choose. up to the point where she told me to use my mastercard debit as a visa debit card, because the charge will be cheaper. i was iike huh?? how can? they are two competiting sides! surely will not be approved. i clicked “next” while wondering how the hell something like that would work, and felt something was wrong. for one of my friend’s name was wrong. in order to change that, i had to pay 40pounds, around 100sgd. Super expensive mistake!
What was he thinking?
nothing much to add this week, except time is passing by extremely fast (week 3 already!). Was smacked with another project this week. When will it end?! It’s really easy for the profs to throw “group assignments” at us. Why bother do your job? just let the students do their own research and present during class. You don’t even have to talk much! And my favourite quote from a prof: “My way of dealing with complains from groups who say their team members are not contributing is this, i don’t deal with it. It’s up to you guys to find a way out.”
and.. the ending to 黄金路 really sucks.
