Just Another Day Of My Last 2 Weeks In Singapore

Today was just like any other day for the past month or so, only difference is probably more productive a day.
I woke up at 12pm today, after coming back home at 4am in the morning from stephen's place after watching Lock Stock, which I practically fell asleep half way through as I was way too tired.
Managed to get more administrative stuff done today. Called up Ministry Of Health to confirm certain issues pertaining to my course in England. I managed to get hold of the person incharge of ordering books at ResearchBooks Asia, which is a book store that specializes in selling Medical and Allied Health Sciences textbooks. Sadly, if I were to order it now, it will only be ready for collection in about a month time. By then, I would already be in my 3th week at Newcastle. Guess I'll probably get the book over in the UK. Managed to collect my pants which I lent to a friend for his graduation day at NYP. It took years to get back to me. Sometimes, when you don't ask, you'll probably not get it back. After which, I took a train back to Novena to meet up with my dad to buy the air tickets, and had dinner at Thomson Plaza, which I practically just gaurged my way through the Roasted Duck Noodle, Fried Carrot Cake, Egg Tarts, and Tau Suan. I must say that my appetite had really increased tremendously for the past 2 weeks. Maybe its psychological that I probably wouldn't get to eat such local delights for the next 9 months. When I got home, I took the chance to plan an outing for my NYP Dragon Boat Team Mates, and managed to message about 15 of them to meet up this coming weekend for dinner. Its really last minute, and I feel rather bad about it. Half the time, I'm already so caught up with my planning and administrative stuff. Anyway, not everyone could make it on Sunday, but can't really do anything about it. Saturday is the meeting up with Amanda and some other poly mates, and this Sunday is the last before I fly off on the next. I'm just trying to meet up with as many friends as I possibly can. Friends that are both close to my heart and those I haven't seen for quite a while, suddenly seem both as important. After all the messaging, I paid Edd a visit, and at the same time, had him help me with downloading of softwares which probably would help ease my boredom during the winter months. Last of all, I managed to pack all my important belongings into a cabinet in my room, so that nobody would use it without my permission when I'm away. It's not being selfish, it's just protecting stuff that you feel hold some sentimental value to you. I'm at the final stages of completing my preparation for England.
