Musings of a Daydreaming Wanderer

While I should be at home, eating grass (i.e. saving $) for a new computer, 17 (or 18?) people from #SGAnimeBloggers on Rizon were in the process of celebrating DarkMirage’s birthday. Instead, I found myself driving in the rain to pick up HSK at Clementi (it stopped raining when I reached, grr). Then I proceeded to Ngee Ann and rendezvoused with another friend of ours, and we proceeded to visit the School of InfoComm Technology. Well, it’s been such a long time that I have been there - the eGarage has changed alot, and the IT support personnel have been relocated elsewhere which I don’t know. Saw Ng Poh Oon at the eGarage, and he told us to check out the 4th floor, as there are more interesting stuff to see then the eGarage.
When we took the lift (still unchanged, besides the walls of the elevator being changed) up to the 4th floor, we found that the entire floor of block 27 has changed drastically - the MMTC on the 6th floor has been dismissed, and the furniture and other stuff in the room has been separated. There were 2 computer labs, a few tutorial rooms, a sound recording room, a photography room with green screen, a “classical” animation studio (as in, real-life models), and a few other smaller rooms for students to work in. THEY HAVE MACS NOW. Well, what can we do? Time moves, and changes are made. Oh, we ran into Melvin Tan and Jim Ang there, as they are managing the whole floor. After visiting the 4th floor, we proceeded to the Convention Centre, where the “main bulk” of our past tutors and lecturers were.

At the Convention Centre we ran into Hwang Wan-Lee (”Where is my HSKos?”), our school Director Ms Angela Wee, Mr Seow, Mr Terence Choo, and a few other tutors/lecturers as well. We spent quite some time chatting there, and got invited to the Ngee Ann Timesharing Alumni Clubhouse for a look. It was an interesting place, where the swimming pool appears to have no edges (following the “infinity” idea for swimming pools in several condominiums). It also had a gym, restraunt, reading room, function room, card room and a KTV lounge, as well as an outdoor bar. I seriously don’t think that the membership is worth it, given that you have to shell out $180 a year, not including a one-time non-transferrable entrance fee of $500. Transferrable memberships cost a whopping $2,100. SAFRA beats this hands-down, though the networking feature of SAFRA is not as good as the NAA. Ah well, I’ll just wait and see how it goes.
