A Blog Post 02 (From KL, Malaysia)

Just arrived in Kl yday.
During the trip up, was a bit frantic cos I couldn't get reception on my phone at all.
Turns out, another administrative inefficiency!

Bloody fuck M1 officers (as well mannered or kind as they are) activated auto roam on my dad's phone instead of mine! - Both lines registered under his name. This ie when they freaking repeated 98756630 to me twice and said they were going to activate it. pfffff....

*arrived in KL, used Godpa's phone to call*
Jeremy: Hi. I;m calling from KL here. My phone did not seem to have roam activated on it, can you check
Lady: Sure sirrrr (roll tongue for 3 seconds).
............
Lady: Sirrr (roll tongue 1 sec), your number is not activated on roam sirrr. The other number is.
Jeremy: Oh my god, how kuku is this? How can you make such a mistake.
(Jer, feeling a bit embarrassed having said "kuku" to the M1 Lady)
Jeremy: Can you change it?
Lady: Yes sirrr. Sorrry.

I'm surrounded by administrative inefficiencies!

Jeremy: I'm here to pay my application fee, by cash.
SMU finance dept receptionist: By Cash or Nets?
Jeremy: Cash. =.=
Recep: Ok. can i have your application number?
Jeremy: Oh? Sorry.. i just dumped my form into the box, don't have the number anymore.
Recep: I need number to open your account. Sorry.
Jeremy: Let me check my bag. *Checks bag* Sorry, I don't. Can't you just check for my application from my name?
Recep: Oh ya. Can. What's your full name?

W A H P I A N G E H!

Dinner with Mrs Naidu
It was such a relaxed and humorous dinner. First, had to meet part of the class at Cityhall to lead them to clarke quay.

Mrs Naidu couldn't find King's Satay Club as well, so had to meet her and bring her with the class.

Food was quite tasty, but not as conpared to Newton Circus. But was pleasant la. Food in small portions (which was good cos left space for dessert).
Conversations were funny, tonnes of jokes etc.

I love my teachers and classmates at Innova. Such a friendly bunch of people with no airs; except a few people whose egos are larger than life. But shan't mention who cos wanna maintain good relationship with classmates in general.

The day ended with a bang - literally. My phone went kaputt after i dropped it 2metres away from me in the MRT station! Half of the LCD screen cracked and bled. Quite traumatic, especially since the phone belongs to patrick. Eeeks!

I miss Patrick.

Neeeway... Luckily I bought muy "NS phone" on the same day. This Nokia 6030 non-camera phone. Not very comfortable not having 3G functions, USB connectivity etc etc. But will live la... Life of an NS man lor...
