It’s back in Singapore from 9 Sept to 9 Oct. This time Cirque du soleil is presenting Quidam (pronounced as key-dam) - a nameless passerby.

Missed the last one ‘coz I felt the tickets were too expensive. Well, they still are.

I actually managed to catch a TV recording of it once when I was at home, on TV2 of all channels some more. I thought TV2 was just for government propaganda and low-grade local dramas, not TV recording of musical theatre stuff. heh. It was really beautiful, and emotional. Plus, there was this singer with an excellent falsetto voice. Breathtaking! Heh, that all sort of convinced me that I should catch them the next time they are in town. If ever.

I wanna go!! But no money!! The cheapest is like S$69. Ack. Cough cough. no $$$…

How how how? -sigh-

I placed a call to the scholarship office and found out what happened to my money.

Apparently, due to “an oversight” on some person in the office, my result conversion letter was not circulated to the Office of Admissions for the disbursement to be processed. Acks! Your “oversight” is causing me to sit here sweating over my rapidly declining bank account, and counting down to the next bill deduction from it. Grrr…

Why must all these admin stuff take so0o long to process, I wonder? My results were mailed from Ithaca ages ago, wayyy before semester even started. First my school’s system still thinks I’m in Year 2 instead of Year 3 and kept spamming me with Year2-related e-mails (they’re asking me to go for student exchange program again. hah). Damn it. But that’s OK. At least they made an effort to make sure that I can still access vital information (such as the internship stuff) and they have already updated their system recently. Now my money isn’t here ‘coz someone forgot to pass a piece of paper to the appropriate office.

Bah.
