unusual wednesday
i received an email this morning that the vacancies for christmas tiramisu cake workshop is full, so they are postponing it to next fri. angela cant make it and im reconsidering.i was late for work this morning, 9.12am. i've exceed the max no. of mins that i can be late for a month. 143mins, exceeded by 23mins. i just heard from my colleagues that for the first exceeding hour, 20 bucks will be deducted. subsequently, 50 bucks for 2 hours and 100 bucks for 3 hours. too much right?yesterday, i took leave. i took the 7.40am bus to the interchange and took a cab from there. i arrived outside the e-trial test classroom at 8.10am, thought i was 5 mins late. but it actually starts at 9.15am. within the 2 hours, i managed to do 14 sets. then, i went for my revision circuit. i concentrated mostly on figure 8. a lil more confident but i hope i'll do fine on friday. at 12pm, i went home and had lunch before heading down to CDC again for my last e-trial before RTT. i was surprised when i managed to do 12 sets within 45mins. RTT started at 6.45pm and i finished the questions in less than 5mins and i spent another 7mins to check. i was repeating in my mind "please, let me pass" during the few seconds the result was loading. i was delighted when i saw "passed" appeared on my screen. =)unhappy bus ride incidentthereafter, i decided to walk to the bus stop since i still have time. i called angela and she said any bus except no. 8 goes to the train station. i) i took the first bus which came, no. 25. upon boarding the bus, i asked the driver if this bus goes to the train station. he reluctantly nodded (i wonder if he was even listening) while his eyes was concentrating on the commuters boarding the bus behind me, afraid that they didnt scan this card. ii) i was standing 3 seats away from the exit when this bulky man, talking on the phone, came charging towards the door. i managed to give him way while keeping my balance. just before the bus came to a stop, he scanned his card and wasnt successful. the next thing i knew, he was charging past me to the front door. my first instinct was to let go of the pole i was holding on to before he bumped into me, i quickly grabbed the pole behind, struggling to balance. -_-''' disgusted, i found a space at the other side, somewhere safer to stand at. iii) i w as looking out of the windows, trying to watch out for a train station. i noticed the train tracks from far away, i hesitated to get down. i thought probably the bus would turn in but it didnt, so i got down at the next stop and walk a long distance to the train station. i was cursing and swearing. i thought SBS is a bus service and its the minimum the driver could do to help but apparently, he cant be bothered. i always dislike taking buses and now, im totally disgusted. duh!i arrived 7.53pm at orchard. sarah and i decided to find a place for dinn, while waiting for that busy woman whois always late. we settled for pasta cafe. shortly later, ness and her friend came. we chatted over dinn and left the place at almost 10pm (cos they were closing). we went our separate ways; ness and her friend went off to zouk while sarah and i went home. had a great time catching up and gossiping! =p
