Stupid bus

While on my way to school today, the train had some problems. On almost every stop, it would stay that for another minute or two. Until finally, at Outram Park, the train conductor told us to get off and take the next train. I felt, like what the hell! I got on the train early, and because of this stupid train, I was going to be late!

And of course, when the next train came, everybody was trying to get in. Luckily, I did manage to get in, otherwise I would have swore and cursed man!(in my head of course). When I finally got down at Dover, I was damned lucky because the bus was already waiting at the bus stop. So, in the end, I wasn't as late as I thought I would be.

On the way back, I fell asleep...(ya I know, what's new right?). And once again, my head lolled and hit a person's shoulder. Luckily, she was a nurse from Alexandra Hospital, and not some guy(AGAIN). I jerked awake immediately of course. But I didn't dare to look up and show that I HAVE actually woken up, so I pretended to continue to sleep.

I wonder why my head just lolls. Because I don't see anybody else's head lolling and hitting other people's shoulders or hitting the glass pane. Really embarrassing...

Pictures

As promised(from my previous post), I said that I'd post the pictures of me climbing the fire hose box.

This is me and Shereen. I'm having my first ride on the LRT. The ride is not as smooth as I thought it would be. But at least it's not as bumpy as the buses.

That's Kelyn fooling around while I was busy taking pictures of the solar panels.

And this is me with the solar panels. =D

New gadget. Bumps. Disgusting men.

Today, my FYP group, which consists of me, Kelyn and Shereen, went to Bangkit Rd to take some pictures of some solar panels that are at the carpark rooftop. We could only get a long shot of the solar panels, so we (actually Kelyn decided it) decided to get me to climb onto the fire hose box so that we can get some upclose shots of the panels.

When Kelyn was about to boost me up, I noticed an old man staring at us from the nearby block. We quickly hid ourselves until he wasn't by the window again. So, after seeing that there wasn't anybody at their windows, Kelyn gave me the boost up and I was able to get some shots. I don't have the pictures here yet though. But I'll post it tomorrow hopefully. It was actually kind of fun, you know. It felt like as though we were committing a crime...hehe.

Anyway, after that, we ate breakfast at IMM because I wanted to go there to check out the prices of the hard disks. And I bought myself one!! It was a real bargain. 500GB at $199!!! The offer will remain until all the hard disks are cleared. If you want to get a hard disk of your own, go to New Technologies. It's on the 2nd floor. The actual capacity is 465GB and after transferring some files, I'm left with just above 400GB. This will definitely last me a LONG time...yippeeee!

Here's the picture:

After IMM, we went to school to meet up with our supervisor the "old hag" and then to do our SDD project, which left all of us totally confused. We'll be bombarding our lecturer tomorrow with questions. ;)

By the time we were wrapping up, I was feeling really sleepy. I managed to get an end seat on the MRT about half-way through the journey back home, but I didn't want to sleep because I just bought my hard disk. I was afraid someone would just snatch it away. But despite my best efforts, I did nod a few times. And there was this one time that for some reason, I think my head lolled and just banged against the glass. That jolted me awake! I was so embarrassed I didn't want to look up and admit that I AM awake. So instead, I pretended to still be sleeping. Yesterday, I also banged my head. But it wasn't against the glass. Instead, I hit my head against a guy's shoulder, and it hurt a bit because my spectacles were jolted too. There were other times where I've hit the glass and people's shoulders. And each and every one of them were embarrassing.

OK, so after the MRT incident, was the waiting-for-the-bus-incident. There was this man (around 40+) in front of me, who was so disgusting! When he sneezed, I could see mucous flying off from his nose!!! He didn't have a tissue or handkerchief, so he used his hand to wipe his nose and then wiped his hand on his pants. I thought he would stop there, but no. He dug his nose after that. What was worse was that he kept drumming his hands on the railing!!! Now, after witnessing this, I'll think twice before touching or leaning against the railings. It's just EWW!

The next disgusting man wasn't as disgusting as the first one, but he still made me go "ugh!". Anyway, he was wearing the army uniform. He didn't really have a belly but when he sat down, his shirt scrunched up and his hairy belly could be seen. I mean doesn't he notice it??? Man! What a day...

Poems

I thougt I might try a hand at writing poems. So far, I've written two. So here's the first one:

You give me a look whenever you see me
my heart flutters whenever I notice it
you question others about me
but never have you dared to question me yourself
my heart yearns for you to do something
just so this tension between us can end
you aren’t the first person who’s made me feel this way
nor will you be the last
there are many from my past
who’ve given me the same look
who’ve made my heart race
who’ve never dared talk to me
if you won’t make the first move

then let me make mine
let me ask you this
does being a crippled mean being an outcast?

And here's the second one:

There is something between us

that I just can't let it pass

my feelings for you are strong

I just hope that I'm not wrong

you will be there for me won't you?

because I'll be there for you too

Everybody is trying to keep us apart

they say I'm fooled by my heart

they say you're unfaithful

I say that's a load of bull

I never listened

because deep down I know you're different

your love has proven me right

but they won't give in without a fight

they tried to show me evidence of your deceit

but I refused to be swayed by those things

we remained together through the thick and thin

never letting them win

I trust you completely

so why did you leave me?

These two poems are both fictional of course. It's not as though I've had any experiences of them myself. So what do you think? Tag my blog ya?

The inevitable

I'm just going to say this very briefly because like what I've said in my past post, I will not write on anything that's personal, but if I do, it will be short.

Yesterday, the mad bitch (my bitch "auntie") finally confronted my mother. My mother was provoked, so I'm thinking that they yelled at each other. I knew that sooner or later, this confrontation was going to happen. I'm quite surprised with myself that I'm not getting angry at the mad bitch, like before. It's not as though I'm on good terms with her or anything, but I guess the advice my mother gave me really reached me. So, now, I'm numbed to whatever the mad bitch is doing, or will do. She's done enough damage that nothing shocks or angers me anymore. My advice to myself is this, she's delusional. Nobody can get through to her, so just let her be. If you ignore her enough, she'll get even angrier anyway.(and hopefully she'll get mad..hehehehe)

So ANYWAY, back to me! Today, after my organ class, I had a mock organ exam. This is a new implementation to help those who are going to sit for the exam. Well, in short, I sucked! I did even worse than my real exam. I couldn't believe myself. One mistake after the other, like I couldn't stop doing it!

After I finished playing, the mock examiner gave me some advice, and after the whole thing, my teacher talked to me and the girl who's also going to take the exam (I forgot her name). We both did badly. But I actually expected her to do much better because I've heard her play and she was so much better than me. But I guess it wasn't her day as well. Anyway, my teacher was also very disappointed at us. I think she almost wanted to cry. That made me feel even worse because she has done so much and yet I played like crap.

Right now, I don't enjoy playing the organ, but I shall do my very best just for my teacher because she deserves better.

Also today, I bought a journal from Times. I'm following what my mother has told me. And that is, if you have any personal things, or any foul things to say, vent it out in a journal, and not where everyone can see(meaning my blog).

I'm quite surprised that Times has really quite a few nice notebooks. I was really taken with this one, that I just had to get it. Here's the picture:
