Collect cert at SP

Yesterday, Marcius and I went back to SP to collect our certs. Nothing much has changed in the campus. The so-called sanctuary is still under construction until now, causing inconvenience to the students.

We had lunch at Foodcourt 3 before heading to InnoVillage which is located on top of a hill behind the main library as Marcius wanted to apply for the alumni card. I have no idea why the alumni relations office must be situated up there as informed by the person who answered the hotline.

We had quite a tough time looking for the office. Most of the pretty-looking rooms there looked like those where people discuss projects and do research in comfort although we know that they are just surfing the net and chatting inside an enclosed place.

We combed 90% (the toilets made up approximately 10%) of the area but still could not find the office. In the end, I called the hotline again and the same woman answered the call. I told her we were next to this game research centre and she asked us to stand where while she comes over.

She came over almost immediately, from the corridor which is perpendicular to the one we were at. She told us to go to first floor, turn left and then right. We believed,  thanked and parted ways with her but ended up heading towards the toilet.

We were sure that the woman gave the wrong information so we went back and turned left twice instead. True enough, we managed to find the office which is also the reception. Actually, it was the first room we walked past when we entered InnoVillage.

Marcius took a form a filled it up while I tried to find out why the couch which I was sitting on was so damn comfortable to rest on. An uncle came over and asked us if we are interested in the alumni pendants currently on sale. It's quite obvious what our reply was.

After that, we strolled all the back to the student service centre at T16 and collected our certs. Along the way, we passed by many different places and relived memories of us at those places.

When we were students there, we were too used to walking around the school that we don't find one place to be different to another. Maybe this is all about psychology.

I am sure this will not be the last time I am visiting SP. Like what the alumni site says "your association with SP is a life-long relationship".
