what a day.some may call it adventurous, but i will just call it pure, dumb luck.
being released at 12.30, i thought i will make a trip back to ICES to settle some documents and of cos, to make full use of the printer there.
upon reaching the pass office, I saw a long queue. and so, i queued for half an hour just to get the damn pass extended.
if that wasn't bad enough, I had to wait for another hour and a half for the next shuttle bus to come. so i decided to take a taxi in instead.
like how parents ask their children to ASK when they don't know what to do, i did. and i was ushered to this place where I could take a taxi in supposedly. but there wasn't any.
I asked another security guard, and was ushered to another guard, this time round making me go onto a lorry, claiming that the lorry will take me to the place i wanted to go, which is ICES.
being a GOOD student, i followed instructions.
BUT. BUT. BUT. halfway through, we were stopped by another security guard, who asked me for my details. And after finding out that i didn't tap my pass, he sent me back and I had to call a cab to get into ICES. what a waste of time.
i wouldn't say whose fault it was, but I was just merely following instructions. if the security guard had asked if I had tapped my pass, probably this wouldn't have happened.
Moral of the story: Don't assume.
