going to malacca!

today's adventure (written at jurong east national library):

1. woke up super early to meet shuyun and friends at jln sultan for my trip to malacca.
2. contemplated taking bus 80 (40min) since i was super early
3. decided to take taxi (lazy) so ended up playing guitar and half-blogging
4. realized i had not much time left, so ran downstairs, where i was hijacked by mum and dad to eat my breakfast. mum volunteered to send me to the departure place
5. finished breakfast, had 5 min to get from paya lebar to bugis
6. listened to mum in the car telling me what kinds of gfs to avoid (and omg my mum was like, how about [ ]? she's quite nice wat! ......)
7. arrived late, inevitably
8. realized that shuyun's friend viya (taiwanese) didn't have a malaysian visa, and hence probably could not get into malaysia
9. reached woodlands checkpoint, got rejected. shuyun and i decided to stay with viya and try tuas checkpoint, as suggested by some young smart-aleccy officer
10. took taxi to tuas checkpoint. taxi driver's last name was neubronner. damn cool. ancesters buried in malacca (some red cathedral thingy) omg how ironic.
11. reached tuas checkpoint, talked to this fat officer guy who didn't know what the hell was going on so transferred us to another guy who...also...didn't know anything. no lah he kinda did. suggested that we go to jurong east and take some cw3 bus to malaysia and get the visa there. huh?
12. contemplated calling a cab to get to jurong east...and a cab showed up! yay. just like at marina barrage. shuyun thinks it's a me and her thing, but no. it's just me.
13. shuyun calls her dad, who asks her to bribe a malaysian officer. aiyah so easy right? just bribe lah! 100RM only wat.....
14. thought to myself that shuyun can go to jail for all i care. i want to go homeeee!!!!
15. ok so. tried to find another way by checking internet on my 3g phone. finally the 3g useful for once. BUT. didn't know how to input chinese. no choice, have to go to jurong east nat library to check internet.
16. reached JENLB. cannot find computer with internet.
17. searched all over, found computer.
18. not registered, cannot log in.
19. registered myself.
20. cannot get in cos pre-paid account no money.
21. went to library e-kiosk to top up.
22. found out i had a 90c fine! wow. if not i'd have died cheating singapore government of money! cool sia... but no choice now have to pay. nvm next time i cheat again.
23. paid. yay we can get onto internet now!
24. got on IE, searched for half an hour, cannot find anything. have to go KL airport to get visa! woohoo.
25. keeve tells shuyun don't bribe lah, not worth the risk. wait the immigration officer go to jail so sayang.
26. SIGH.
27. called SIR, called SAFRA, no luck.
28. decided to give up and blog about my half-day adventure!

ok that's all for now.... where to next??
