Nafi Fantasy: Chapter 1
Prologue: Life is full of choices (and shit). No matter how much effort you put into deciding which path to take, shit happens. So whichever path you choose, just accept the outcome with no regrets.
1. Start Game
2. Quit Game
~~~ Scene 1: To Bring Or Not To Bring ~~~
Wake up, change into Number 4, breakfast.
Pondered the whole night whether to bring my Jap notes or just bring myself.
1. Me, myself and I.
2. Just bring the notes along.
~~~ Scene 2: The Journey ~~~
Dashed off to catch the bus.
Time now is 7:35am. Bus just left. Drizzling.
1. Wait for the next bus.
2. Raining sia, lazy to walk and dun wanna be late, even though being late doesn't matter. Take a cab.
~~~ Scene 3: The First Day of ICT ~~~
Reached PLAB within minutes. Not many reservists in sight. Changed pass. Saw familiar faces, YH and other "xinjiaos". YH and I were the only guys from our batch T_T. We went to the officer mess/canteen where most of them had their first pratas of the ICT. Then we went up the building for In-pro. Saw even more familiar faces such as those xinjiao specs. Then we took YH's car to Dragon's Lair for our day of lecture and briefing. We had many breaks in between, one of which we went to Air Force School for lunch and went to E-Mart where the guys purchased some necessities. I spent all of my credits last year for the new and lightweight Goretex boots, therefore none to spare for this year. It was boring lecture throughout the day. Luckily I brought my notes so that I can revise for the Listening + Kanji Exam later on in the evening. We ended at 5pm.Prologue: Life is full of choices (and shit).

~~~ Scene 3: The First Day of ICT ~~~
1. Go home and change.
2. It's raining and very troublesome to go home and come out again.
~~~ Scene 4: Choose An Ally ~~~
I saw my old secondary classmate Xiuying on bus 8. She didn't recognize me at all, even after re-introducing myself. WTF!? Totally no idea who I am. Don't even remember Weiming or Serina. WTFWTF!? Anyway failed to refresh her memory. She got off at her stop. I reached home, changed and was thinking whether I should borrow an iPod Touch from one of three people I know who owns one into camp the next day, since it'll be damn useful to use it for my Jap revision using the "Kotoba!" Japanese dictionary application.
1. Ask kireichan whether can borrow from her since her workplace is in Bugis and it's the best choice since I'm going down to Bugis later.
2. Ask cousin Eric cos borrowing from a relative would be better than borrowing from friends.
3. Ask Claire cos she's definitely working late and would be easier to get to her too.
~~~ Scene 5.1: Ask kireichan ~~~
I smsed her asking whether can borrow or not. But then told her that I shall try others first and if really need to, I'll look for her again.
~~~ Scene 5.2: Ask Eric ~~~
I called cousin Eric and asked him whether can borrow from him and it was a straightforward "yes". However thinking about the distance I have to travel to get from him, I decided to look for my third lifeline.
~~~ Scene 5.3: Ask Claire ~~~
I called Claire and she said she gave the iPod Touch away already.
~~~ Scene 6: Another Journey ~~~
As I was crossing the overhead bridge while busy talking to Claire, I didn't see bus 23 reaching the bus-stop. Usually I'll look far ahead and if the bus comes, I'll dash across the bridge, making sure I catch the bus. This time I was too busy on the phone, thus missing the bus. Time is 6:30pm. Bobianz had to wait for next bus. Luckily the next bus came at 6:35pm. However this would have a deep impact on what's to come. I was so tired that I caught a few winks on the bus. Reached the stop right outside Sim Lim. Time is 7:10+pm. It's raining still and exam starts sharply at 7:20pm. JCS is always 7 mins of walking distance away.
1. Walk faster.
2. Run!
~~~ Scene 7: The Exam ~~~
If I had not called Claire or Eric, I would have caught the earlier bus and would be earlier. If I decided to run from the bus-stop to JCS, I would have reached the lift earlier. Then suay suay of all times, someone in the lift had to go out at level 2. Usually 90% of the time, nobody goes out at level 2. In the end after I reached JCS, they had already started the listening comprehension. The staff quickly diverted me and the other late-comers to the nearest room, although I always have my lessons at the furthest room. Luckily, the voices on the CD player were going through the very first example question. Once I sat down, they started the real questions. Phew.
I didn't bother to switch off my phone. But of course set it to silent. And so the voices continued. WTH the CD player or the recording sucked so badly that all I can hear is muffled voices. Not clear at all. Can barely make out what they were trying to say. KNS how can they play such lousy quality audio clips for those questions!? First few sections sure die liao. Damn difficult.
Then my phone was vibrating. Unknown number.
1. Pick it up.
2. Crazy ah? You're in the middle of a listening comprehension exam!
Of course I ignored it. But I got distracted for a moment and lost concentration for that particular question. Then the same number called again. Holy cow! Ignored once again. And then an SMS. Totally didn't bother to look at my phone anymore. Totally couldn't catch what the voices were saying. Dame desu...
The Kanji section was the easiest. I probably will get 90% correct. But then is it enough to pull up my score? >_<
Tired. Hungry. Too lazy to go to Bukit Panjang.
1. Go to Eric's place at Bukit Panjang and get the iPod touch.
2. Go home lah!
So I walked all the way back to SLS to take 23 back home. I checked my phone and saw the sms. It was Faye. It's the COB thingy. Of all times had to call me during my paper lol. See? Shit happens.
~~~ Scene 9: And Here I Am ~~~
More decisions to make. More adventures to explore.
1. Bring the all-important thing into camp.
2. Borrow from kireichan and get it from her tomorrow morning.
3. Borrow from kireichan and ask her to pass to Junfei tomorrow morning, then I get from Junfei.
3. Borrow from Eric and get from Junfei tomorrow morning.
