Letters to my future self

4th Jan - my poor feet

made the trip now to RELC (regional english language centre) to chk out some stuff for the trip down under. its located at orange grove road... which is near shangri-la hotel...

the last time, i made it there in one piece without losing my way... the last time. its supposed to be a 20 min walk from orchard mrt.

today, i got off at orchard mrt, which was correct. i started walking down orchard road... pass forum, man u shop, then.... i got to the.... british council. -_-"

something in me suddenly reminds me of how i needed to get to the british council the last time for the gaiman event but i ended up near the RELC. this time, its the other way around.

so.... i thought i had my directions wrong, i back tracked all the way back to orchard mrt and headed down scotts road instead. after a seemingly unending number of turns, i ended up in front of RGS, which i'm pretty sure i'm near the RELC cos i remember seeing the school the last time i went to the RELC. it took me a further 15 mins to get to the RELC -_-" total stime spent: close to 1 hr.

to make things worse, i got an abrasion earlier this week, thus i decided not to wear shoes to aggrevate the abrasion. wore slippers instead. bad, bad decision. new pair of slippers + 1 hr of non stop walking action = blisters. annoyance. the biggest blister is located on my left heel. *OUCH*

i left the place on a cab cos it was raining. on the way out, was then i realised that i had taken the correct path initally, but a wrong turn. instead, i had to convince myself that i've taken an entirely wrong path and had to do things the hard way instead. *sigh*

anyway i'm not too happy abt the answer i got my IDP (the agent that handles overseas student applications) today. they seem to only be able to answer very generalised questions abt studying in australia. everytime i asked abt accomodations, i seem to get a different answer each time. the air fare part is equally troublesome. what i find strange of all things is the lack of a admission package of any sort from the universtity for their students. as a result i have alot of unanswered questions. bah.

anyway, if possible, i would be flying off on the 31, right aft the 1st 2 days of CNY and that gives me about 2 weeks before school starts to try and fit in and settle down.

shd try and settle the air tickets soon.
approx 3 weeks+ til take off, got to make gd use of this time.

boy, off for now
