Today was fun

Today I went out with my sister. And I realised how NOOB my sense of direction is. I'm too used to walking around aimlessly and hoping I'll land up where I want to be.

After realizing that the ICA building was closed so my sister couldn't make her IC (haha!), we decided to head down to Raffles Place to FIX MY STUPID SIM CARD. I thought it was the phone that was faulty at first, until it made more than 5 spare phones in my house HANG. It hangs when I access my inbox and sent messages. It also hangs when you want to view your "1 new message"! Sometimes when you're lucky, you do get to access it, but you can't get out of the screen where you type the message! So I end up restarting my phone, to realize that the message has been sent AGAIN. So I sent two messages at one go. Whatever, waste money lar.

So! We went to the nearest Starhub Centre to my house to change my Sim card... I was talking to the customer service person on how to change it, and yeah "Oh you can go to the OCBC center to change it (:" So off I went!

I don't frequent Raffles Place at all, so I just like, referred to maps and asked people. I asked an Indian Security Guard and some random Indian guy. We walked so far lar! It was so difficult to find. We finally reached it and we saw this RED building, like totally red, cos OCBC's main colour is red. And we asked the security guard whether there was a Starhub Centre there, to realize... "No there's no Starhub Center here!" ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH, we should have realised. It's like, a WHOLE BANK IN THE BUILDING how can there be my thing there! :(

AND I CALLED MY MOM AND REALISED ITS UOB CENTRE NOT OCBC CENTRE! Woe is me...

We didn't even KNOW where UOB centre was, so we asked this other Chinese security guard in the OCBC office building. His directions were kinda erm, useless too, cos we ended up somewhere weird. We reached OUB building instead. I can't stand this two UOB and OUB you know, they sound similar! But the meaning is entirely different. One is Overseas Union Bank, and the other is United Overseas Bank. It's really annoying why the letters O and U are used interchangeably.

We walked back to the MRT to find our way around more easily.... AND WE REALISED THAT, WE WERE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING! The first building we feasted our eyes on when we went out of Raffles Place MRT! *bangs head on wall and dies*

I was really bored, and I wanted to be cheeky, so I found a map of how far we travelled.

YOU SEE, THE DISPLACEMENT IS SO FRICKING SHORT AND WE HAD TO MAKE A BIG ROUND AROUND RAFFLES PLACE. *cries*

UOB building is just the one on the right. So near right! So near right!

I'm being dumb. Ignore me. Oh at least my phone is fixed now. Yay.
