<-- EUGENE posing with a Bulldog soft toy when we were in IKEA. What a striking resemblence huh... Haha!

Normally i would note down anything interesting or out of the ordinary or things that're worth to blog, into my handphone. So doing that, i didn't have the habit of noting down the date as well so thus the random posts. Sorry! Here goes nothing...

Was on the bus 168 to school one faithful morning. Coincidently EUGENE was there also taking the same bus as me. When we got on the upper deck of the bus, we saw a seat for 2 amazingly. So our natural instinct was to grab the seat immediately. Haha. We regretted. Never to know for the next 45 mins or so, we were on our journey to school accompanied with our butts on a ROCKING SEAT. Oh damn it... Alternatively, we had to try very hard to grab the handle from the front seat to stop the seat from the frequent rockings. The rocking doesn't really help in us getting to our hibernation period cause we'd naturally... Agree? 168 bus-commuters.

Later in the day, i met this group, of around 4 guys, taking the same lift as me and all the way from the 6th level(my classroom) to the 1st level they were making a nuisance of themselves. It's either they're trying to seek attention(from god-knows-who) or they're simply, IMMATURE. Some other days also in the lift, there's this couple fooling around with each other in the lift completely oblivious to the surrounding(which so happens it's only ME in the lift with the couple). They were really macham like cats playing with each other. Sighh... What to do?

Went to Tampines with MAVIS to have her dinner at Macdonald. Guess who i saw? BEATRICE from Hey Gorgeous! for the institution Temasek Polytechnic, in Mac. She really looks like some typical Miss Singapore Universe contestant. With her broad jaw, and oh-so-smooth skin i wolf-whistled. Haha, as if only! Went to NTUC to get granola bars and to GNC to get the 'shaker' for taking the powder supplements. Ohh yea, at Mac i saw YI YIN and her group of friends. I looked again to re-confirm. IT WAS HER. I msged her without saying where i was, and kept the suspense of it. In the end i still didn't disclose my location despite many "WHERE ARE YOU?!" by her. The same thing happened in the same day, during breakout 1 in school. Saw GUSTI & JERALDINE with the latter holding on to a slice of watermelon. Then i msged JERA, "Woah, what a HUGE watermelon you're carrying..." Haha. I love doing that, keeping the suspense from them without disclosing my location. But in the end when they walked back, they saw me having my breakfast with MAVIS. Both of them sat down and had a chat before leaving for class.

I still remembered what MAVIS's friend told her, "Being late is like Curry with Rice". THAT IS VERY TRUE! I mean, for those people who stay far, who have tried their best to wake up early, are still being late for school everyday. For me, it's either i'm late or i'm on the dot. I'M NEVER EARLY, though i tried my best to wake up earlier. -0.5 of our daily grade is gone whenever we're marked late. INFURIATING!

On TUES after our UT and Professional Profilling Workshop, XIU ZHEN & her BROTHER, EUGENE, XUNFU, and ME went to Tampines IKEA after school. Had our sumptuous dinner, not forgetting the heavenly Swiss Meatballs, then we journey-ed the whole expansive IKEA with their individually styled showrooms. They grabbed some hotdogs after exiting the counters and thought of what to do for next day(WED which we don't have school) and labour day. After a long discussion, then we decided to TON(stay overnight outside) the night.

Alright, details of the ton-ing activites will be on the next post and here are the photos from FIONA's birthday...

<-- Taken by thou. The Look of Satisfaction.

HEY HEY HEY!!! LOOK WHO'S BACK!!! Haha, terribly sorry for the late updates. Tired nights = Lazy ESMOND. Alright, enough 'explaining' myself and get down to the LATE NIGHT TALK WITH ESMOND! I'll be updating in no chronological order, so expect alot of random posts. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

WEDNESDAY (23rd April)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIONA which falls on TUES. So since on WED i don't have school and most of them don't end school that late, we(AI JUN, GUAN PENG and ME) decided to celebrate FIONA's birthday on that day.

Before meeting them at Somerset station, i quickly went to get a gift for her at Raffles City Shopping Mall after my gym session. Anthropology was the shop where i got her a stylish and fashionable pink notebook, the present. Since pink was one of her favourite colour, hence the colour picked. Went to Prints to get it wrapped in contemporary sleek white with silver designed box cover and ribbon, of course 'emblazoned' with some of thou's words in glittery gold pen.

As usual, PRINCESS FIONA was late so AI JUN waited for her, or so called 'coincidently' came together. So before they arrived, i went to meet the early bird GUAN first to reserve a place at The Balcony, Heeren. Without forgetting the cake, both of us brisk walked to Breaktalk, The Centrepoint.

Skipped the blah blah of waiting for them and getting the cake 'hidden' with The Balcony's staff and off we sat on our reserved table. Just a word of caution though, next time if you wanna go to The Balcony to dine, think twice. Oh wait, or should i say NEVER CONSIDER THE BALCONY. THE SERVICE SIMPLE SUCKS TO THE CORE!!! There's this male waiter with a stuck-up attitude, giving us the we-can't-afford-to-pay attitude. Though the ambience and the decor is fabulous, the service just simple pulls it down to its bottom pit. Maybe thus the few number of people dining.

We continued to order our main course, set dinner, and you know what he asked? "Wait, how many set dinner are you going to order?" So what now, there's a limit to a number of set dinners that we 'paupers' can order?! Tolerated... Next thing, FIONA asked whether could we have ice water to quench our thirst, from the same male waiter. He replied, "Since all of you ordered set dinner, i can give you 1 round of ice water." I immediately gave FIONA the WHAT-THE-______ face. 1 ROUND OF ICE WATER. AWESOME. Seriously la, how much can 4 glasses of ice water, practically from the tap, cost you? Even the restaurant i'm working at, in a 5 stars hotel, serve ice water without prompting!

All of us were shocked and agreed that the service that the male waiter's offering seriously sucks. The ice water even tasted weird. FIONA commenting that it tastes like lipstick but to me it doesn't taste like that(cause i don't know how a lipstick tastes) but the taste is still weird.

Had our main course and desert. There came the cake after MUCH hinting to the same waiter who happens to be there at the moment. So the cake just popped right in front of FIONA WITHOUT ANY birthday song sang by the staff. In the end, we had to initiate the birthday song. So you see, how terrible is the service there?! At BRUNCH, we ALWAYS sing birthday song whenever we present the cake to the person. After footing the bill, i really had this urge to complain to the manager to consider sacking him, but i didn't in the end. YOU'D BETTER BE GLAD!

Ok, from here onwards it's gonna be some random posts...

I had this small 'primary school reunion' in class. Was having lunch in class with MEI TING sitting opposite me, so we just started talking about primary school days. Only to find out that she once stayed in Bedok Reservoir and from Bedok West Primary School, was is so coincidently opposite my school which is Damai Primary School. So since AXEL who's my current classmate and also my primary schoolmate, came to join our small talk. I even told them that i had this feeling that my pri school was once a hospital. MEI TING also said that she had the same hunch, and some rumours were spreading too. So maybe i was right huh...

Ohh yea i remembered seeing my classmate wearing a Abercrombie & Fitch berms. So a couple of days later i asked him how much did he buy it for. His brother apparantly went to San Francisco so got it from the A&F shop there for 50 bucks. At first i thought it was 50USD, so i gave the disappointed expression cause it's abit expensive converting back to sing dollars. So the next moment, he said it's S$50. MY EYES LITERALLY LIT UP! "REALLY? ARE YOU SURE???" Then that's the case the price is reasonable!! But the only problem is, they only have their authentic shops in the US, no where else.

So today i asked my dad where are we heading this holiday? I told him i wanna go to US, since we also wanted to go to US. But the only holiday which my brother's and mine the same is during December, which also meant one thing... WINTER IN THE US! ARGHHH!!! Summer is the season that i want. So other alternatives for holiday would be Australia, New Zealand and possibly Hong Kong. I've visited Australia countless times already, so going to New Zealand(for the 2nd time) and Hong Kong(1st time) would be better. But going to Australia again isn't sucha bad idea too, cause i can get their causal wear from MOOKS and AUSSIEBUM and some major shops there. SUMMER SUMMER SUMMER! HERE I COME!!!

After my bedsheet was changed, i smelt my bolster(yes, i still have my 'weapon') and the smell was familiar. It smells like Mercedes Benz car upholstery. I still remember the smell from my cousin's parents cars. Hmmm, weird...

Before i started my night shift for SAT, which was practically almost full house with left like 2 tables, i went to have my dinner at the canteen. HBO was airing The Lakehouse. THAT IS ONE MOVIE THAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH!!! VERY RECOMMENDABLE!!! Though that movie has been out a few years back. I bought the DVD last year, together with Flight Plan which stars JODIE FOSTER. So if you want to borrow it, let me know... It was a very very very busy night that SAT.

Still have to work on SUN and it was terrible. Though doing service was alright but i had to clear up, tidy up the various 'rooms'. Music room, Beverage store, Back store and Back Area of stewarding. Threw alot of stuff and kinda organised everything together before i was released at 7++PM. There's a spot-check this coming MON thus the clearing up. Everything has to be in proper order, floor mopped thoroughly and etc.

Went for dinner at Tampines area with family and saw this lady with flawless skin. Macham like coming out right from the advertisement advertising for some skincare product. PORCELAIN SKIN SIA!!! Though there's makeup on, but i don't think it's that thick. She's just sitting one table diagonally across ours. Let's hope that i'm not wrong...

Alright, that's all folks! The pictures i'll upload them some other time, probably on MON. GOODNIGHT!

It started to pour heavily when i woke up at around 6.05AM. Whenever it's raining heavily, i always have the feeling of not going to school. I guess you too right? I knew it! But in the end, i still DRAGGED myself to school.

What's further installed for me is that, there's a massive traffic jam from Seletar Camp all the way to Woodlands(where the Sports School is). With the temperature in the bus relatively low, i was freezing cold. Had no choice but to force myself to hibernate in order not to think about the coldness.

When i reached school, i was late like shit. Half an hour late and today we're having lab sessions. CIRCUIT SOMEMORE! Blur + even more blur.

Replaced AIDILl's work shift for tonight of over 80pax, when he called me and said he can't work tonight due to don't know what bike license thingy. Since lesson ended early today so i went to Pan Pacific Hotel after lesson to waste my time as well as to have my dinner there.

After i had my dinner i visited the staff toilet. When i went in, the decor of the restroom was very old-school. Then suddenly i heard music playing from the speakers inside the restroom. It was a mixture of Enya with Hayley Westenra kinda song. I was literally shocked. Cause it was macham like typical horror/ghost flick happening in the toilet with that kind of 'holy' song. It was freaky.

When the crowd for the company private function finally arrived, it was chaotic. Batches/Cliques of people here and there, standing and talking and blah blah blah. Can't they just sit down and chat? It'd be easier for us to serve to you the drinks as well as getting your drink orders.

Everything was quite smooth in the end and clearing up was relatively fast, with 4 staff on hand doing that. Sent back all the tables, chairs, cultery, salt & pepper to Banquet area and then that's where FRANKIE asked me to sit on top of the trolley(3 levels) and he pushed me back to Brunch, from Banquet. Haha. Imagine what would the other staff who walked past us say. An Assistant Manager pushing/playing around with a waiter. Haha. Quite fun la though.

Ohh yea, previously i told MAVIS that in the future i'd get a tattoo, probably. Then she gave me that SUPER SHOCKED FACE. "Wah Moo wanna get tattoo seh..." Haha. I'm gonna 'inscribe' it on the side of my right/left leg, probably bah.

The ANCHOR tattoo i wanna get, something like this.

Alright, this is going to be a quick post. So i'm writing this post while waiting for my mum to finish ironing my clothing as the iron board is placed inside my room so i've to wait for her to be done before i go to bed.

Today we had our first lab lesson and it was fun, yet confusing and lost. I happened to wake up SUPER LATE today at 6.47AM. When i saw the time, i literally sprung up and sped through all my daily morning routines before taking bus 168 at around 7.40AM.

When i reach Woodlands Interchange it's already 8.30AM. OH MAN... And i can say HELLO to my downgrading of grades. Sighh.

AND! We had to wear long pants for lab sessions, so my grey skinnies came to mind. I'm a virgin towards skinnies so I wanted to try and see how was the first time like. And the result was super weird. Macham like squeezing every part of your lower body to the maximum and then portraying them out in the 'nicest' way possible. -_-". But my friends said first time wearing skinnies is like that, wear it more times and it wouldn't feel weird anymore. I guess so?

Went to the Laboratory at second meeting and the moment we're decked in our lab coats and goggles, we started taking pictures. Haha. What's more the faci is inside the lab, mind you. The goggles are freaking retarded. So big and so 'zor tang'(disturbing).

When we started the lesson proper, we were immediately lost in what we're supposed to do. What mix with what and etc. We were terribly lost, our team that is. But i saw other teams were like struggling too. Approached the faci and she gave us some guidelines and hints so from there we did the calculations before finding out the exact amount of solution we need. It's all about FORMULAS, FORMULAS and MORE FORMULAS! Mole, Molar, Molecular Mass and etc. I've already forgotten those stuff already. Imagine the long transition from secondary school to poly, how could i remember so many formulas? Luckily there's laptop for us to research and find the formulas. So the day was saved, just that tiny winy bit.

In the end, we didn't really complete our experiment but tried our best in the process and the lab report that we've made wasn't that concise either but it's still presentable and has the essential details that the lab report needs.

Okay, it's time for me to spring into bed and wake up early the next day.

Our fashionable 'trenchcoats' & 'shades'.

YAWN! woke up at 8AM in the morning and started preparing to visit temples for 'Sweeping the Grave'. So early la, weekends can sleep until late late then ask me to wake up so early... Sighh. I didn't bring my camera along for fear that i might lose it and didn't know whether can i shoot sacred objects anot.

First visit was to the temple beside Bedok View Secondary School, forgot the name of the temple. Prayed to my grandparents(mum's parents) and spent half-an-hour there before starting the next journey to my grandma's side to pray my grandparents(dad's dad and grandad & uncle).

Yishun Columbarium, Pei Xin Secondary School is just right opposite, was the 2nd stop. Went to pray, burnt some bags & incense paper, offered offerings & josticks and off we went. Stopped over at the neighbourhood near my grandma's house and had our lunch before we continued our 3rd stop at another columbarium.

The 3rd stop was situated near Bradell Road, where the columbarium is just 'conveniently' situated beside Raffles Institution & Raffles Junior College. Why is it that most of the columbariums are situated closely with education institutions? Cheaper land? More fertile soil? Or probably the 'atmosphere' is better? Went to look at my grandad's(dad's side) wife's urn. Before leaving the columbarium, i saw BRINA at the carpark. We walked past each other, surprised at the presence of each other's existance at such 'nice' place. Acknowledged each other and didn't really talked that much as she's going her way and i'm going on way. What a small world huh.

Dad stopped by Geylang and mum went to get beancurd and the drinks while the rest remained in the car. A tiring day accompanied with my 'smoky' eyes, i felt so lethargic. Yawn...

As promised, here are the photos.

People, sorry for the delay of entries. Alright, now i shall write the posts in chronological order.

TUESDAY (15th April)

After school, XIU ZHEN & her BROTHER, EUGENE and I went to change the colour of the slippers/sandals that they(sem 1 classmates) had gotten for me for my birthday gift. Actually wanted to change the size of the footwear but found out that the size is the same as the one that i have at one. Yes, i have another pair of footwear of the exact design but different colour(Black & White), from NUM too.

Citylink Mall's NUM was the place where XIU ZHEN got the footwear from. It's Black & Green. Macham like promoting for RP like that. Same colour as our poly logo. Somemore it's the latest colour(as told by XIU ZHEN). So in the end, i changed it to Blue & White.

Headed to Suntec's My Playground for a walk cause XIU ZHEN said she heard alot about that place but didn't know what was going on there. Walked past level 1 of Suntec where this cafe partnered with Browhaus called 12X12 cafe, i think. I think the idea of it is, friends/spouses/mates could wait for their follow accompanies(while they're doing their brows) at the cafe and have a sip or two. When we walked past that Browhaus cafe, this guy(knew he wasn't straight from the way he looks) started to stare at me with this sinister smile/grin. I immediately quickened by pace to join the rest of my group and felt goosebumps. Sorry ah, i don't sell my arse.

My Playround was pathetic. With not many customers, mediocre shops that you see similar to those of Doby Ghaut Xchange. How are you gonna attract customers? So few publications about that place too... No wonder some of the shops are either closed early or not even opened at all. At one corner, we saw this FOOSBALL machine and instantly we placed our stuff down and started the WAR! It was interesting and my team(consists of various constantly changing 'players') was on the winning streak. Haha. EUGENE started to play fierce by turning the 'pole of miniature soccer players' so hard that the ball was seen flying from one corner to another.

Around 9++PM, we ended the match and went to statisfy our 'childhood-days' needs at the gaming arcade nearby. Daytona, Shooting-the-Basketball, and finally Spot-the-Difference game were those we played. 10+PM and we started to leave for home.

WEDNESDAY (16th April)

SCHOOL's OFF! And off we went for an outing. XIU ZHEN, CI HUI, JING XUAN, EUGENE and I headed for Cineleisure's Kbox for a 'sing-along' session. Had a ball of a time and of course with me hitting the 'ohh-so-wrong' high notes and since mostly most are chinese songs i don't know how to sing them but can only hum to the tunes if i found them familiar or probably try to sing the chorus only. Pictures will be uploaded later on. CI HUI grabbed the mike and sang like there's no tomorrow before she finally excused herself to meet someone in the evening. When she's gone, the rest of us had more chances of singing, displaying our amateur voices and 'ohh-so-perfect' falsetto.

Dinner was up next. Landed at Crystal Jade La Mien Xiao Long Bao to have our dinner. Ordered our La Miens and of course not forgetting the gastronomic XIAO LONG BAO and one more side which i didn't take cause it's spicy. In the end we ordered 3 longs of XIAO LONG BAO. And most of them are being gobbered up by me. It's pretty funny when some hakwers(Maxwell Food Centre) directly translated XIAO LONG BAO to LITTLE DRAGON DUMPLING. Wherever there's XIAO LONG BAO, there's ESMOND.

THURSDAY (17th April)

Back to school. As usual, this whole diploma is killing my brain cells slowly. Circuits, Logic Gates, Binary and many more complicated stuff. I wonder how am i going to score well and get a place in university.

Visited the DIM SUM push-cart stall at Foodcourt A and ordered 2 tsu-mai. The moment i saw the DIM SUM lady, i thought it was ZHANG ZIYI. She looks really just like her. Not kidding you! The face, the features. It totally resembles her, maybe some flaws here and there. But on the whole, she looks like ZHANG ZIYI.

Took the lift and headed back to my classroom. When i was on the lift, there i saw another 'celebrity'. DIANA SER. Nope, it isn't that DIANA SER on CNA who hosted Get Real! series but someone who looks like her, but smaller version. I think i've gotten i'm-a-celebrity eyes for the day. DIANA SER's proxy classroom is on the same level as mine. Hmmm....

FRIDAY (18th April)

SLA Fiesta is still ongoing and i've officially signed up for String Ensemble(Violin) IG and Kayaking IG. I think i'll get busy real soon. My Life-Saving IG is still hanging loose. Sighh... Not sure whether i'm still going back for training in the pool & theories anot.

Went for work. All the BIG SHOTS came today. General Manager of the hotel, Manager-On-Duty, Executive Chef JOSEPH MARTIN and some other big shots too. Quite busy on that day i would say, with station a(non-smoking area) almost fully occupied with at least 25 guests and station b(smoking area) almost full with at least 30 guests.

There's this angmoh mum with her kid came for ala carte menu that night, probably just finished their swim from the pool, and i accidentally noticed her fly was opened when she sat down. I didn't tell her, for fear that she thinks that i'm some ji-ko-pei and the whole dramatic scenario would be very embarrassing. So i just assume that, "Ohh, they just came down from the poolside, so no big deal cause there's swimming costume inside." Haha, self-comforting though.

SATURDAY (19th April)

In the wee morning, it started to pour. About 4 or 5+AM? A few strikes of lightening and then accompied with a scene of relatively heavy showers. The lightening strikes were extremely bright and white. It literally lit up my sheer darkness room while i'm using my laptop. From young, i've been very afraid of thunders, whenever there's thunder i would cover my ears and in some case i would put my head under the pillow. Till now, i'm still afraid of thunder but not that extreme. I'm not afraid of not-so-loud thunders but extremely loud thunders i'm still very afraid of them. INCOMING!

Woke up at 12+PM and headed to Armani Exchange in Paragon to get the music album, Twilight AX Music Series Vol. 11. I've waited for it to come out for a long time. They don't sell the album. The catch is, for me to get the album i need to purchase anything from the shop and they'll give me the album for free. It's some promotion that Armani Exchange is holding. So i just grabbed an undies for 29 bucks and made my purchase. My aim is just to get the music album. There's also a DJ in the shop spinning some tracks, macham like mini club. I'll upload the tracks soon. Anyway, i'm still aiming for that aviators which is priced at 199 bucks. I shall save and at the same time look out for alternatives/nicer ones. Though i have enough funds in my atm but i feel unsafe having depleting funds after i spent that figure 199. AND! I can't figure out why are there always PRC people in AX. Almost all the time they're in high-end shops. Too much RMB to spend?

Went to gym after that. FINALLY I CAN SQUEEZE IN SOME TIME FOR GYMING DESPITE MY BUSY SCHEDULE. I AM EXHILARATED! Was using some machine that tones the thigh/legs then suddenly the machine went cranky. It was a lying down machine and i have to rest my legs on the board infront and lean my body on the lying board and shoulders locking onto the pads. All of a sudden, the front board went backwards(which is not supposed to as it's locked) and i had a 'ride' of my life. When it happened, the feeling was just like you're on a rollercoaster ride and then it descends quickly. The machine made a loud sound as the weights beside me dropped quickly and the god-knows-where other sounds caome from. Everyone looked at me. I blurred. It was too sudden. I look around too. Then to see this personal trainer beside me, in the admist of training a guy, turning to me giving me a thumbs up and a darlie smile. Imagine that look. An ideal candidate for Darlie's advertisement huh.

I sat there stunned, only after a few minutes then i realised the Lock catch, to adjust/hold the front board, wasn't secured i think. Heck... Headed for another machine. It was so ma-lu la... Today's gym was filled with indians. Ok, not totally filled. As in the ratio was higher was compared to the times i went there last few times. Not having any racist remark here though.

Went back to the locker room to change and get ready to leave the gym. Just when i'm dressing up after my shower, suddenly there's this loud MOAN came out from a man out of nowhere. It's was literally very loud. Can't possibly he kanna _______ in the locker room right, since there's a security guard patrolling the locker room. I think he's trying to get everyone in the locker room horny huh... Haha. When i finally spotted him, i realised that he has some vocal disability, as in he has some problem speaking thus the 'moan' sound. My bad...

Intially i thought i was meeting ALEX to go and collect our pay and due to his extremely PO MA-NESS, i went without him. Waste my time only! Just find it very irritating and troublesome to go out with him nowadays.

Went to collect pay, last minute as the 'cashier' closes at 5.30PM and i reached there like 5.25PM.

Alright, that's all folks. The photos i'll upload asap, probably tomorrow(SUN). I've to sleep now, going to 2 temples for 'Sweep the Grave' day tomorrow and have to wake up at 7am. OH GOD! Talking about grave, my primary school's best friend dad just passed away. When i heard the news, i was completely shocked cause it was like so sudden although his dad has been in coma for a few days and heard that half of the brain was dead already. What's even worse is that, he went unconscious out of a sudden when he was at home resting on the bed. Until his wife came home late in the night and found white foam on his mouth.

Life is really unpredictable, your life might have a major turn anywhere anytime. God bless my best friend's dad.

<-- Taken by thou. St. Regis Hotel. From outside.

As promised i'll upload the pics in this post. Boarded 168 at around 7.15AM and i thought to myself, "Ohh shit. Will we be late?" Cause usually by this time there'll be alot of students(RP literally) taking the bus thus slowing the bus journey. But luckily, there were 2 168s who came together and they boarded them. Waited for MAVIS cause i saw both of the buses were very packed and surely no place to sit. But anyway i havent go to school with MAVIS for a long time already, so just wait for her. EUGENE(sem 1 classmate) boarded and i saw BAO JUN(neighbour's nephew) taking the 2nd 168.

When MAVIS reached, there came another 168. It's quite empty with alot of single seats left. Phew... I was right to wait for her huh. Saw AARON(ex-Bedok Green, MAVIS 'KOR') onboarded the bus. When the bus reached the Tampines Mrt Station bus stop, AARON quickly got off the bus to visit the restroom somewhere, somehow. So i asked MAVIS what happened, and she said that the day before he drank alot of milk. So i knew where he went, and what he's gonna do... Haha.

Well, we're still going to be late afterall when we reached Woodlands Interchange. 8.15AM. Another 16mins, i'm gonna say HI to (-0.5) grade from my Daily Grade. KU KU la... Decided to walk to school then XIN ROU called me to ask if we wanted to take a cab since it'd be faster. Before that i made a dash to the toilet first, for a desperate leak.

Phew. I wasn't late at all when i reached class. XIN ROU, MAVIS and ME were rushing like mad after we got off the cab. XIN ROU was the first one to rush out the moment the cab stopped. I gave the cab driver 6 bucks(fare $3.85++?) and she even asked me how much should she give me the change back. -_-"... This is the first time i've encountered a cab driver like that. She gave me $1++ back and she asked if she was right. Then i just, “Aiya 不用经，不用经。Any amount will do."(tanslating to: "Aiya, never mind, never mind. Any amount will do.") to the cab driver. So i just took the money she gave(without counting the exact change) and immediately chiong-ed to class. I still owe XIN ROU's change.

I even asked my PRC(People's Republic of China) faci if i was late, in typical local english standard. "老师，我没有迟到hor?".(translating to: Teacher, i'm not late right?") Haha, of course she said i wasn't late, she told me that another 2 minutes i would've been late.

After school, it decided to pour like cats & dogs. And DAMN! WHY IS IT THAT WHEN IT'S RAINING I'M IN MY SLIPPERS?!?! WHY? WHY? WHY? Imagine the feeling of walking in the puddle of water mixed with zillion of impurities and God-knows-what's-in-there liquid. The feeling is just...... Gooey, and super uncomfortable.
