There you go.

I've been busy. So, so busy. The graduation stuff is really taking up a lot of my time, more than I thought it would. I guess that's what usually happens when you're in one of its busiest committee. I am under Editorial, but I originally signed up for Program Book because that really sounded like the simplest thing to do. In the end, it was combined with the Magazine committee and I ended up under Layout, sub-committee for Magazine, which also happens to be the busiest. I still feel so...*oooaaarrrggghhh*, wondering how I ended up there when I actually wanted to do as little work as possible. XD

Anyway, what I was planning to post before I ended up ranting about that was about my trip to Singapore. My dad, my sister and I flew off just a few days after my exams. Actually, since two weeks have already passed, I don't really remember much. We were staying at Lion City Hotel for three nights, and contrary to what the online reviews said, Lion City Hotel is actually a good place to stay in. It was quite cheap too, $100++ per night, although that probably has something to do with the relative we have working there. Haha.

Yes, we have relatives in Singapore, it's actually a pretty confusing story. Lets see. My great-grandfather was studying in Johor at that time, and married a Malaysian woman. They then have two daughters. One of the daughters married a Malaysian. When my great-grandfather's (I'm just going to refer to him as GG after this. Waddup Double G?!) wife passed away, he went back to Brunei, bringing his other daughter with him. There, he re-married to a Bruneian woman, and had my grandfather as a result. The other daughter married a Singaporean and migrated there. The end. I have no idea. I forgot half the story. It was sort of our bedtime story for the three nights. So yeah, I have Malaysian and Singaporean relatives. I have a HUGE age gap with my cousins over there, most were over 40 years old.

My feet were so effin' sore. We walked alot. We spent the first day in Orchard Road. Our hotel was actually quite far away. It was a $10 ride using the taxi, and that was during off-peak time. The second day, we actually WALKED A LOT. From Geylang to City Hall we used an MRT, and after that... I have no idea how much we walked. And thanks to that, my feet become sore almost quickly for the third and fourth day.

My favourite spot was HMV. So many Ayuuuuuuuuuuu. Sorry, this is coming from someone who's not used to seeing original DVDs. It's THAT bad.

I couldn't find SOLANIN!!!!11!!111! I am sad. But hey, there's still Asano Inio. I bought Subarashii Sekai vol 1 and vol 2, and Emma vol 8. It was the only Emma I could find. Unfortunately, the main Emma manga, I could not find.

ZigZag vol 07, 08, 09, finally complete. Brunei is still stuck on vol 4, and I didn't want to read it online. I actually planned on not buying it because I stopped reading a few months ago, but good thing I did, because when I started reading again, I remember why I loved it!

TSGS vol 19, Brunei doesn't have this one yet. It's the latest. This particular volume made me tear up alot, when vol 18 actually had some hilarious stories in it. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days, haha, I'm obsessed. Shut it, it's not only for kids. XD Speed Grapher vol 3, just because. No, don't look at the boobies!!!

So there. I don't know how much I spent, but I spent a lot. Of course I bought some clothes and shoes too, but who cares about that, ammirite.
