20th April - Old Fashioned

Yunhan assigned me work today, so I left the house sleep deprived and followed directions on Google Maps. Her directions were cryptic. I was just told to go to 9 Winchester Road at 10am. So following Google Maps, I took the train to Kent Ridge, and from there supposedly I was supposed to take a bus. But it said one bus stop so I was like, eh, walk that shit. That was when my day turned to shit. I found myself treading a long windy path along the expressway. I thought something was amiss, but I shrugged it off and kept walking. And then the path turned inwards, so I followed. I ended up in Singapore's Defense Research Institute. Holy shit. I was probably trespassing. I could get sniped. I scurried to find an exit as soon as I could, and I did, right at the other end, which was a real relief. A bus stop and pavement, civilization, hooray! I continued walking east, as per my Google Maps instructions, and I hit a dead end. That can't be right. I returned to the fork and continued. I ended up at a condominium. Also wrong. WTF. Revised directions told me to make a long loop to take a bus on the opposite side of the road. Half along this long loop I saw an overhead bridge back where I walked from. Fuck. Walked back, took it. Took the bus. Thought everything was all swell and dandy now. Missed my stop. Fuck. Walked back. Found where I was supposed to walk in. Walked in. Uphill. Downhill. Loops. Dead end. Fork. Dead End. More loops. I finally reached the place after 1 and a half hours and a good 6km+ walk, I reckon. And then they told me that there was a shuttle bus to the area. FUCK. If she had told me the name of the place at least- UGGGHH. At least my bouncy castle job went without a hitch. Sweltering heat though, and I was wearing black. God damn.

Left for drinks with Zi Sheng and Damien's clique. I tried out a few new cocktails today, my Old Fashioned wasn't bad, but Snowball is fucking delicious. If you're craving for the taste of alcohol then it's probably not for you, but it could very well be an everyday drink being tasty as it is.

I gotta get to bed. A date with Gillian tomorrow!!! -okay no we're just buying stationary so we can do our homework LOL
