went to MPS ( Meet-the people session) at west coast CC today.
the venue was supposed to be at blk 729.
I went to the cc at blk 731. Got confused by the 2 CCs. Haiz just two blocks away lor.
I think i must have looked like a mad woman. Cause i was frantically knocking and banging the door to get in. Turned out i mixed up both CCs. Hmm i hope the residents don't think i am crazy.
Then i called for help. The MPS was supposed to start at 7.45pm. I reached there at 8pm. I was already 15mins late and i was lost. The blocks at clementi are very confusing. Even though 729 is suppposedly 2 blocks away, i didn't seem to see it anywhere within the vicinity:( I asked a total of three people. Erm apparently, some of the residents don't seem to know their way around as well. Hmm.
I ran and ran with all my might. i don't know what happened, but when i reached there, my leg muscles suddenly shifted up. It has happened before at Daiso, Plaza Sing, when i was tip-toeing to reach the top shelf and my leg muscle shifted. Damn painful. I almost teared. I couldn't sit or stand or bend or move. I remember i froze in that position in daiso for a long time and people were staring at me. Yesterday, outside the CC, the whole thing replayed again. This time, some residents stared weirdly at me. I held to Yunyi as my support. It's so horrible. I massaged my leg muscles to make it go down. It's a very strange phenomenon. As in, i have never heard of people with shifted leg muscles. The whole thing really shifted and went up.
My leg still felt sore and painful. So i limped and hobbled in to my workstation. The people in the CC asked if i am alright. Oh dear, i must have been such a sight.
Got attached to a really friendly writer. Haha his wife is from hwa chong and a PSC scholar. He is supposedly an oil trader and former architect. He told me how he got involved in the meet the people session through the students' union and he is now part of the CC commitee. Damn cool. I really want to work as a youth grassroots leader haha:) As in it's really satisfying helping the needy in the community and relieve their financial burdens. Many of the people who come for MPS usually have money or family problems. They need the MP to help them. There was such a case whereby an elderly lady was seeking help from the MP to get her flat back from her unfillial son who threw her out. I really feel sorry for her. :(
And there are some people who come to the MPS over trivial matters like neighbours who turn the radio or sing the karaoke too loudly or put their plants "accidentally" in other people's territory etc.
It's really quite interesting...:D
I went straight to my bed after reaching home at 11.30pm. Didn't touch any homework:( I hope my teachers don't slaughter me :X
