west lafayette - chicago day 3

the day started off very interestingly

to my horror, the rented car was no longer at the parking spot...

EPIC fail!!!

our car got towed!
apparently the parking spot jay said it's ok to park was somebody else's parking spot...and the somebody went to lodge a complain to the management and there goes the car...
in other words, PARKING VIOLATION

FML!!!

quickly called kok hong to save us...lolzzz
drove us there to the office and wait for the man to do the paper work...
sighs...
not a very good day to start off huh!
got everything settled, paid the money sucker towing company to get back the car, got back the car and off we went for some campus tour
the engineering mall
and very obvious, michelle lam couldnt smile from ear to ear after the shock from the morning's highlight...


their mascot is actually the train...

jay, tm, yours truly and wan yi near the stadium with the BOILERMAKER

then i went back to suiwan's dorm to get the commencement tickets from him =)
the commencement was so so so freaking grand....how i wish UNL can adopt the idea of theirs, maybe 10%!

then i found him!!! =)
congrats buddy!

group picture of his friends...

congrats upon done with school!

at around 6, we left purdue...

returned the car at the after-hours drop off parking garage
everything went back to square one, back to walking...

and we managed to get to the pizza place on time so that wan yi wont be late for her bus ride back to mankato...
while waiting...

the chicago style deep dish pizza...
wasn't that yummylicious though...was ok only...did not get wow-ed by it...

then we parted after getting the pizza...
=(

i walked back to the train station without map again but this time i knew the direction by the correct feel!!!
hahahaha

and that is how i spend the night...
i camped at the airport....
the huge ass backpack as my pillow and my computer bag as my bolster
i made myself so comfortable! hahahaha
and i slept near the TSA security guards...i know i would be in safe hands near them...
so yea i managed to catch some sleep before heading back to lincoln

i actually could have spend more time in chicago if i didnt go to purdue...but since it was my buddy's commencement and it was just 2+ hours drive from chicago, i decided to attend his commencement...
if he wasn't my buddy, i really wouldn't care much but i really do appreciate what he has done to me, being there for me when i needed someone to talk to, he's just an awesome friend....
he's just one good friend that i would value a lot

and hey, he's just a very good buddy of mine...
=)
