life has been relatively interesting this week.
i had been having how should i say it, interesting transport rides.
case 1
i was on my way to school one morning and as usual i was rushing for the train.
i got to the station found that both escalators were down at 7.30 in the morning.
imagine the jam.
so its stairs climbing & seeing the train drives away above me as i snailed my way up.
then, as i reach school who knows, the escalator was down too.
so in an hour, i've climbed almost 70 steps i reckon.
coincidence?
case 2
i was on my way to clarke quay one evening and it was jampacked.
was on heels and really happy i came out early.
(sidenote, after i showered and was about to leave house, it started pouring. -.-)
so i was on train texting away, and the train stopped in tracks near queenstown. they had spotted a train fault and stopped. So train was delayed, so were subsequent trains. And it marked the start of the exhausting ride. Train started braking every 5 ~ 10 seconds, full brake. Walla, imagine heels and brakes , they equate to streneous exercise. i totally think it's on par with 100 sit ups. In addition, there were heated crowds who want to squeeze onto train but to no avail and started cursing and swearing.
(Eh eh, not the first time seeing this, the last time i saw this was due to another train fault and there were no train in sight towards marina bay at JE at 6.30pm for at least 20 minutes. Hoho, talk about crowd. i almost stood at the yellow line at the other side of the platform.
Oh, i got carried away.
Anyway, i got to outram safely, thinking it's the end of my adventure. I happily texted sharon telling her that thank God i wasn't taking the train towards punggol cos it's another tug-of-war. So i delightedly got on the train to harbourfront, found a seat, texted mh asked where were they, and he called. Thenthe split second i answered, something strike me and i realised i took the wrong train. Voula, we'e meeting at clarke quay, and i trained to harbourfont?
Kudos to grace.
I listed that as one of my classics.
Case 3
it was nearing midnight, i was tired and texting serene. She was telling me about.. soeul moment? i can't remember.
and well, to make things short, i alighted at cck instead.
and yes, i realised it immediately the doors open.
so i sheepishly walked slowly to the centre of the platform and waited for the next train.
for a moment, i thought the station masters might think i'm trying to commit...
well, so yeah.
Case 4
i was on my way to school today.
i hadnt much sleep this morning cos i was trying to do last minute mugging for the paper today.
moreover, i had an interesting dream during my few hours of doze.
so, i was at clementi, and thought myself to be quite smart to take the empty 154 which came 2 minutes after the crowded one.
and who knows, the step to get on the bus was so high, i didnt quite get onto the step. and fell forward in front of the bus uncle. talk about embarrassment.
but i still think i handled well, i calmly walked to the back with a black face and notes in my hands and sarted flipping my notes the minute i sat down. (ughhh, i think it's not bad. lol.)
but i still blame it on my jeans.
case 5 (total blurness)
i saw the "switch mobile phones off" sign before i went into exam hall.
i took out my phone, it was on silent, i wanted to switch it off, but subconsciously, i "turn off silent".
i had some memory of my action when i heard a sony ericsson beep.
and it beeped at least 5 times.
left hall early as i couldn't do all the qns.
and found that it was my phone afterall.
well done grace.
***
i shall side track and talk about more pleasant things then.
lol.
went eski bar with solomon knights on wed to partly celeb xc's brthday and partly for sharon's sendoff.
it was freezing and a really fun night :D
then it was food tasting at m hotel ytd.
tummy full :D
oh, it was xr and sherman's birthday chalet last sat.

i just watched that last friday and i wanted to blog about how nice the movie was since forever but i kept procrastinatng. now i see that they had won so many awards! i'm totall getting really excited now.

life has been so mundane. it has been tuitions and lessons.
but hey i think i still like tuitions.
it leads me to know more about other families' lives.
kind of gave me a different light in seeing things.
oh, hmm.
can i just say kids these days are way too stressed?
they have so much to do everyday.
and all the other miscellaneous things they need to take up. wow.
swimmingmartialartsboysbrigadesupplementarylessonsforprimary3(?!)
oh, i've come to realise, it's really best to find a partner of the same religion.
so there won't be conflict of thoughts,
different mindset etc.
else, if it ends up in a divorce, the child(ren) is the most innocent party.
they'll be infused with the wrongest things and the vicious circle will continue when they grow up.
ohoh, happy valentine's (:
andand, my aunt has been stuffing me with so many kiwis whenever i go over, it is making me a really happy girl :D
