Lost calculator

This is really frustrating. I lost my calculator and I can’t get my calculus done before tomorrow’s lecture. This means that I’ve gonna do double time on Thursday and Friday to prevent snowballing. Think I left it back in the LT yesterday. Hope that it’s still there, and that the Econs lecture people don’t take it away. And I can get it back tomorrow evening.

Apart from the misplaced calculator, all was fine yesterday. Started the day off with a visit to the POSB bank. Queued up and was promptly attended by this girl called Jolene. Applied for the Go! Card and also had my account authorization changed from the thumbprint to my signature (finally!). As she was getting my card ready (she did it twice ‘cos my name was misspelled as “VICENT” the 1st time round), I was briefly introduced to this new debit card, CapitaCard. Basically, for the first 2 years, applicants enjoy fee waiver, there’s no minimum income required, and card holders enjoy quite a bit of privileges in terms of rebates and rewards.

Check it out.

Off to Popular to stock up on my stationery, and down to town I went. Sat in Take Coffee Bean to get my differentiation done. Could only managed three quarts of what I planned to do and it took my 3hours. Tsk. Along came Otti and the yummy chocolate chip macadamia cookies from Amos. Thanks girl! =) Walked around for a bit and went to Far East to get something for mum’s birthday. Saw Edelene and Huiting along the way. Was kinda surprised that they actually stood at the escalators and waited for us. Thought they might have just waved and walked along. Haha. Had a quick chat and parted. Edelene seemed really redly burnt though. =)

Got a ride down to One North for my lecture. It’s a new lecturer this time. He’s got a totally weird accent and he simply forgotten to introduce himself throughout the entire lecture. The only thing we know about him right now is his name, his weird accent, and that he’s got a fabulous brain for calculus. Ever wondered why differentiating Sine X gives you Cosine X and the other way round would produce a negative Sine? Well, he could prove it. Better still, ever wondered why differentiating exponential x gives you the same thing back again? He showed it. Kaiyong was commenting what a show-off he was. Haha. Juat maybe he is. Thing is, he’s a prof. I guess he’s got the rights to. We’re just pesky little bratty sponges trying to absorb as much as possible from him.


The lecture ended early and we walked out to the bus stop as usual. Took the 74 back and as it passed by SIM, a swarm (I really mean a SWARM. Easily 30odd people) came up the bus. The bus suddenly smelt like smoke (think was from the students smoking at the bus-stop. They ought to be caught and fined and caned) and it certainly was much much rowdier. For a moment, thought I was gonna up for a ‘rough’ ride back.

But surprisingly, along came Ee Cheah and she sat beside me. What a coincidence! It had been quite a while since I’ve seen her (or any other of the classmates, apart from Jee). Caught up on our recent happenings, and talked about the class gathering I missed last Thursday. Was kinda sad that I didn’t make it because apparently almost the ENTIRE class made it except for Peishan, Jee, JJ and I. EVERYONE else was there. Dang! Realised that the girls are mostly graduating next year (business and accountancy courses are 3 years. Pooi!) and they would be working real soon, as compared to the guys who’ve got another 4 years of studies ahead of us.

How sad. But then again, everything happens for a reason. =) Sometime we just have to wait a little while more to find out what that reason is.

It’s now officially become a ‘rest and slack’ day for me because my calculator is down. Think I should fine something productive to do right now. Like watching videos and playing games. Haha. Sounds good. =)
