Tired. Just Tired.

Came back from Dinner at a nearby S-11 foodcourt. Had been running about the whole day. From as early as 9.30am till 7.30pm. I have been on the go for 10 hours at least. I won't say which school i have been to today in case my polite comments here blacklists my chances of school entry. Early 9.30 am I set off from home and rode an mrt all the way down to the first school of the day. Was taken by a free shuttle bus there, very nice.
Reached at 11am. Went in got my goodie bag and walked around the CCAs corner. Large amount of CCAs there about close to 80 or so I heard. Then went to the second floor and entered the libary. Very nice interior, haha (get me the number of their designer). Cybercafe, libary, borders, bookstore all rolled into one. Got my first prize of the day. Then went on walking past the many bazaars shops held there, saw lots of stuff. Wanted to patronise them but had a tight budget my pay comes only after my contract ends sigh. Really wanted to have a wax hand for 5 bucks but the thought of dipping it into hot wax scared me off. The IT place was a place I really liked. I played Halo2 and got a stapler and goodie bag there. Such a pity i missed the lucky draw there. I wanted to see if I could win the free USB thumb drive 128Mb.
Now the souvenir bag was really full and heavy. Then I approached the big complex and went through all the booths stationed there. The booths were all in a huge roomy airy lecture hall. Even thought there so many people it was still roomy and airy. The people there were really friendly and most came to ask us if we needed to know anything when we just stood still for a moment. Gave us lots of brochures and I won a few stuff in the games there. I met tiong li and pillai there. Then I went for a ride on their campus shuttle. Unfortunately, my ride was cut short and I had to alight at the IT place. I already saw the place and did not want to wait anymore so I walked off and went to the next school.
Took a taxi there and reached there at about 3. Had to register to get a goodie bag sigh. The guy at the registration booth looked like he had never seen a foreigner to this country before and took so long to scan my IC. Then went to their exibition hall which was so crampped and packed with people. There was little space to maneuver and there was alot of CO2 there I felt very uncomfortable. Their ventilation system seem to be under performing. Even though they had lots of staff they did not seem to bother. Only a few would approach visitors and answer any querries they asked the rest would stand around and chit chat or look bored. None approached us no matter how long we seem to stand around and look at their displays. No explaination was given and even their displays seem complicated. No further talks about how their course worked or entry requirement. I supposed they thought the brochure they gave was sufficient. No freebies were given only the goodie bag. Place was really awfully packed. Went outside and saw that the had a stage set up and a sort of Japanese dance item was going on. But I was more interested in the little plane that was flying above them. The controller must be far away or the plane must be on auto pilot. Really cute. Then I saw a same bunch of cosplayers in a corner. I saw misao and shi-shi-oh from Samurai X and a kakasi sensei from Naruto the rest i did not reconize. Went to have lunch at a very crowded Mc D at 4pm and left after that.
Compared to other major events like sitex and other computer fairs that i go to this amount of people was nothing. But it feels so strange that i felt so uncomfortable in the crampped enclosed area more than any other crampped enclosed areas. Sigh what a tiring day it was.
Tired. Just Tired.
