rupees

Yesterday was like a going for a history field trip. Went to change S$ to rupees at Mustafa yesterday because am going to India (YEAH!!!). Side track a little, i must say i feel RICH having all the rupees with me...my wallet was bulging when i put the rupees inside. Couldn't stop counting the money...ok, yes i am psychotic and silly and anything.

Back to the history lesson thing, i went to Farrer Park together with 'mum' and Poh and when we reached there, Poh started to give us a mini history of Farrer Park. He told us that the Fortuna Hotel collapsed once while it was under construction and now it has been rebuilt. While walking, we also passed by the Singapore Turf Club building (no longer there) and Poh told me that before the building was used by the Singapore Turf Club, it was a NTUC supermarket where the business was excellant because there was a car-park nearby but then the gov. do away with the car-park to build the Farrer Park MRT station, causing a dropped in business, thus the NTUC closed down (ahh...so now you know!). Then my father, who came over after that to drive me home, brought me to see his old house which was in some street that i can't recall the name, but i know it is near Bendemeer Secondary School. He told me about the history of his life which was very interesting. When i say interesting, it is referring more to the moment that we shared rather than his life, caused my father and i seldom have a proper talk or conversation. When we talk, it is usually when i need to inform him about something or when he asked me a question and i answer. It is unlikely we will talk about his past and that is by the way, our longest father and daughter conversation.

Anyway, i am left with only one more paper to go and i can be free!!!
