Trip to Stan Isaacs Singapore
So, I made a trip to see Stan Isaacs in Singapore today. I have to say that it wasn’t a very pleasant journey. I woke up at about 6.30am to find that I’m actually having a bad fever. I wanted to cancel the appointment at first but I didn’t. So, I got up from bed and took two tablets of paracetamols and continue my journey. I reached the bus station at about 7.30am and the departed at 8am sharp.
I reached Singapore’s Immigration department at around 1.30pm, but unforturnately, the line that I was queuing was damn slow. The guy at the immigration desk was working terribly slow, all the people lining up was complaining. It took me more than half an hour to get through and by the time I reached the bus terminal where my bus was supposed to wait for me there, the bus had actually left. I had to take another bus to get to town. I finally reached Queen Street and then took a cab to Stan Isaacs which is located inside the Specialist Shopping Center. Good grief, I made it on time, I reached there at 3.15pm and the appointment was set at 3pm.
I was a bit surprised to see the crowd, many parents brought their children to see Stan Isaacs, I went to the counter and registered myself, told them about the appointment. 10 minutes later , a lady optometrist brought me to a room and had my eyes measured with the corneal topography scan I guess. She put some drops on my eyes and then put on the lens for me. I didn’t feel the lens at all, she told me that it’s the eye drops that made my eyes numb. Isn’t it unhealthy to do something like that? Soon after that, I was called to Stan’s room. He looked at my eyes and told me that the lens are a little bit too big and he will make some holes in them to make them breathe. Whatever it is, it better be good. Took me all day to reach here just to see him for only a few minutes. Great! So, I left the shop at about 4pm, went to the shopping mall across the street and had my late lunch.
I went to the MRT station and asked the local quirks for some directions on how to return back to KL. They told me the cheapest way is to travel to Kranji by MRT and take a bus to Johor Larkin. Then from there, I can take the express bus back to KL. I felt very tired, exhausted and a bit dizzy. I took another two paracetamol and continue my trip.
I reached the immigration department and then rushed to the terminal, again the bus had left without me. People there didn’t seem to be very friendly. Greedy taxi drivers came to seek their opportunities on poor souls like me. I had no choice but to take their offer. It cost me 10 bucks just to travel from the immigration to Larkin bus station which is very near.
I reached Larkin at about 5.30pm, went straight to the ticket counter and bought myself the 6pm ticket. Grabbed a hotdog from one of the stalls there and went straight onto the bus. As the bus moves, and the sky was turning dark, I gazed at the street lamps seeing terrible starbursts, haloes, glares, doubles and floaters. At that point of my life, I really feel lonely, sad and depressed. I can’t stop but wonder why I get myself into all these troubles. What will happen to me in the future..?
Sigh… A night that I will never forget…
