today went to standard chartered bank to pay for my school fees [semester 1].

the nearest branch is at somewhere near jurong sec. mom and i are not familiar with the area so we decided to take a taxi. the driver hardly drives in our area and he had to keep flipping the map for directions. =\

after that went to poly to clarify which piece of paper is the offer letter of doom. well, their instructions so unclear man, the bottom line 'please retain this slip for collection of student card' is so misleading. and the words 'offer letter' are not stamped anywhere on the paper. >< (they're suppose to return it to us for the collection.)

so shun bian send the stack of forms directly to the admissions office. THERE'S SUCH A LONG QUENE MAN. it seems that many people like me, are having problems registering the many info inside the enrolment letter.

as i was queneing up for my submission, there was a conversation of a bunch of guys behind me.

'what the hell is the offer letter, man?'
'i think its this one bah.'
'but it says retain this paper for student card collection.'
'oh really?'
'damn *P, last year's JAE come directly to school to submit de.'
'this is the first year they are using the mailing thing.'
'it seems that everyone's asking the same question.'
'the person (at the counter) keep answering the same question, she not sian meh?'
'she should jump onto the table and shout out the answer to all those with the same question.'
'so troublesome.'
'in order to put up their average, they have to recruit better students like us.'* (continues)
'they send me a whole stack of things and beg me to come.'
'you crap lah.'

* the guy who said this got admitted into banking and finance course with a point of 10 (after cca deduction).

(conversation goes something like this, some parts may be altered due to author's STM, but generally correct.)
