Feeling relieved

It’s amazing how things always work out well in the end. Just when I was feeling all down, doubting my work performance, I received good news from my department head.

I thank you, whoever you are, for answering my prayers. For giving me hope when I’m feeling down.

I hope I am not, but I think I am.

The statement says it all.

Monday Blues

The day didn’t start well, with me waking up late.

Seems like the shampoo I’m using now isn’t suitable, despite washing my hair on Sat, woke up today with an itchy head. Running late for work, but I can’t stand working with an itchy scalp.

So by the time I left house, it was already 9.45am.

Thankfully it was relatively fast to get a cab. Reached office by 10.10am 🙂

Somehow, the bluey bug hit me. Very moody throughout the entire day, that I was on the verge of taking PM leave to go for a walk. Sigh.

Not wanting to waste my leave, which is private limited by the way, I endured. 30 mins before the office day ends.

But it’s raining outside now. Forgot to bring my jacket, forgot to bring the umbrella which I brought home from office last Friday.

That means.. I’m stuck in office until the rain stops.

I shall take the train to Bugis, buy an umbrella from Giordano and go for a walk at Bugis Village.

Shall see how later.

Doing a fair bit of research today, on a bluey Monday.

Found another reason of not going town on a weekend. The bus to orchard/bugis is ALWAYS packed. Frequency is much lesser compared to a weekday peak-hour, that means longer waiting time if you can’t board the bus.

Waited 10mins for the bus just now, which was quite reasonable given that the bus practically stops at all the stops from CCK interchange to my bus stop. While boarding and waiting for the other passengers to move in, this lady behind me kept pushing. What’s the hurry? U used coins to pay your bus fare, there’s no hurry in getting your bus ticket mah, since you’ll get to the ticket machine soon. But no, she pushed and pushed and pushed. Nearly fell because of her. Haiyos. After the journey through BKE/PIE, people alighted. And she pushed and pushed and pushed to get to the vacant seats. Wah lao.. Stand a bit will die meh?

Cannot take it. I am going to enjoy bag shopping with Lee Wei in the terribly-packed orchard. Then meeting the photo-khakis for Circle Line shooting!

Being random

Always forgot there’s a reason why I don’t like taking trains. During peak hours, it’s worse than travelling on buses. You feel like a sardine jammed in a sandwich. Trains that do not bring you the whole journey, or you had to change 2 trains just to get to your destination. No idea why I got on the train that terminated its service at Yishun when i’m heading towards Bukit Batok. I swear the display board said Jurong East when I boarded!

Alighted at Yio Chu Kang and waited for the next (second in fact) train that goes Jurong East. Feels like being in outer space, surrounding looks so alien.

I think I’m still a bus person. Despite inconsiderate passengers who do not move to the rear, despite the irregular arrival timings. Despite having to tolerate traffic jams.

🙂 it’s a happy day.

Boat ride on the Singapore Clipper

When Benjamin from STB told me about the boat ride, I was like “huh what boat ride? what’s singapore clipper?” Asked uncle google, and he told me it’s one of the boats that’s currently in a race – of which they are called Clipper Race. Singapore Clipper is (partly?) sponsored by the Singapore Tourism Board, thus we had the opportunity to step on board.
