I had to stop by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority of Singapore (ICA) in order to pick up my student pass. The place reminded me of the Secretary of State back home, since you have to get a queue number and wait to be called to one of the desks. And the place was JAMMED! I think the number of people was pretty constant for the whole time I was there...and I was there for quite a while. It was a little hard to ignore all the screaming, crying kids who were stuck there with their parents, but managed. My 3DS helped me tune out the people and pass the time.
Then I had lunch at a nearby marketplace. I had some signature Singapore street food. I don't remember what it was called, but it consisted of fried noodles, eggs, and prawns mixed in a sauce I found mildly spicy. Someone less sensitive probably wouldn't have found it spicy at all... Anyways, it was pretty good.
To be honest, it wasn't exactly something I wanted to do on a day I had no class, but I need the student pass. I can't just use the visitor's pass the whole time I'm here; it's illegal. Oh well, it's done and over with.
