Trip down to MCYS then to Grandparents Place

Well, my day started off at around 11:30AM and it was only about 12PM that I finally was awake ready to start off the ….mid-day…zzz. Will try to wake up earlier and perhaps sleep earlier from now on as the past few days I have been sleeping in the 4 – 6 AM range (which is bad) and not to mention the eyebags that are slowly appearing! So i guess I will work on that hmm.

So in the afternoon I checked my email and finally recieved instructions on where and when I could collect the Ocean Minded (footwear) vouchers I mentioned some time ago that I won. I called and told them that I was going to drop by at around 4PM. I left at around 3PM but I only reached there at around 4:40PM lol. Why you may wonder? Probably because I got lost in some way zzz. Before I left I checked online to see where the building was and didn’t know it was quite close to Toa Payoh Interchange, so I took the train to Braddel (one stop away from Toa Payoh) and then proceeded in taking a bus there…the only problem was that the bus number that I was told to take (via online) was not on any of the bustops nearby grrr. So I had to walk right back down to the MRT station and asked one of those passenger service assistant. The guy there was nice and quickly pulled out this locality map showing what bus and which bus stop to take. Another problem earlier on before I approached this kind staff was I did not know which side of the road to jump on the bus to, until i asked the staff. As I got on the bus, I knew it was quite a short distance (3 stops) and soon as I came out I was a little lost again lol. Which side of the building is the MCYS (Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports) buiding located, left or right? The solution and probably the life saver at that moment? - The Map/GPS application on my phone lol. Yes, you may laugh but it did finally bring me to my location as the building was right at the end of this particular road and all the way up a small hill. Sure, along the way I saw this sign that said MCYS -> but I couldn’t see the building from that direction and the walk was about a 6mins walk all the way in.

The building was sorta cool in a way, visitors had to scan their IC and you get to use these touch screen machines to enter your name and contact number and Voila! a sticker is printed out with your name (yes, I’m quite easily amused)! I guess there are these things as it is a Government building haha. Here is a pic. I took later on lol
