Day 12: Getting Lost

I went to Jurong East to check out the shopping malls at the suggestion of my student buddy. There's apparently three big malls there, I toured two of them. The only things I bought were my lunch and some badges, but it was fun to look around. One of the stores, called Comic Connection or something like that, was even selling some cute Pokemon plushies and other anime merchandise. But the plushies were so expensive... None of them were very big, and the smallest were about S$17. The larger ones were about S$30. They had Pikachu, a bunch of starter Pokemon, Keldeo, and all the Eeveelutions except Espeon and Sylveon. No Clefairy, unfortunately... They probably don't even make Clefairy plushies though. I was tempted to buy the Keldeo or a Snivy or Turtwig, but the price drove me off.

Anyway, on my way back home I made the mistake of trying to find my way home from the Dover station instead of going to the Kent Ridge station and riding a shuttle from there. I got so terribly lost that I was wandering around for well over an hour. I eventually did find my way back with the help of a map, but I was completely exhausted when I finally reached my room. I was so tired that I'm actually writing this the morning after that little adventure. I suppose getting lost is only natural when you're in a new and unfamiliar place, but it was not fun.
