I had the “loveliest” journey home today… yuck… Okie, this entry might be wee bit long… so if ya wanna read… read on… “jump, die, no problem… jump dun die… then jialat” (no offence intended, but if u deem its offensive, let me know)

I boarded the train at about 15 mins to 8 pm… and at first nth seems wrong… except that the train did not depart on time… thats nt unusual, cos within one or two mins it will depart… then i heard the first announcement, “… this train will be delayed, we apologise for the inconvenience caused… ” Okie, this seems like trivial… so i ignore the notice and decide to read some of my notes, with music blasting in my ears… then more delays… another announcement, “for passengers that have just board the train, this train will be delayed, there is an accident near jurong east… ”

It din dawn on to me that the near jurong east station was clementi… i thought maybe a small accident halfway in between… so still no alarm bells set off in my mind yet… trained pulled out from boon lay… i thought, phew, at least can get home and eat dinner… then when the train reached lake side… it got delayed… and this time more same old announcements… then to chinese garden… still the same old news….

Once reached Jurong East Interchange… uh huh~… then the annoucement was, “An accident just occurred at Clementi MRT Station. This train will be delayed. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.” Gosh… what “lovely” news that was… =@

At this point, alarm bell in my head went off… hmm… I was assuming some guy jumped onto the track and got hit by the train and died… the thing is, why clementi ? Is it such a spooked station or a favourite station to suicide? of all timing, at around the evening peak hours? OMG… i am so so so unlucky to be caught in such a situation…

argh… by then i kinda started to freak out a bit… cos i was never caught in such situation before… =X

Then when i decided to take a cab home.. (yes my indecisiveness caused me a lot of pain), the train pulled into queenstown… holy gosh… so many pple crowding on the platform… and yes, there were many many irritated passengers, including me… made a beeline out of the station… and lo and behold… so many pple were flagging cabs… calling cabs… queue at ATM (which i had no choice but queue), and then an announcement saying, train services have resumed in both direction… what the toot…

needless to say, i wasnt damn please at all to hear that… was kinda annoyed and pissed la… now i was stuck right at queenstown… in a moment of panic, i called hendri… and he arrived to pick me up in a cab… aww… I paid for the ride home… thanks.. u are there when i needed u most… =D
now everyone say…. aww… =)

Gosh… and my nightmare din end there…. was stuck at highway near bedok~! why? a procession of 9 lorries and 3 buses with police escort… =.= what the… thanks ah… make my taxi bill shoot so high high… =(

and prior to travelling home, i kinda felt uneasy… and decided not to hitch a ride to clementi… but choose to take bus from hendri’s neighbourhood… was that just sheer coincidence? or simply… a sign of warning? kinda freaky and thankful though…

Okie i guess i better stop here… Uber long entry… but at least i feel slightly better after blogging…

Without renewed direction, renewed perspective… I most probably would have suffered through yet another semester… But this time around, its different… i can feel i am putting in way more effort than i did during the past semesters… perhaps its because i am kinda very upset at my own acad standing… and it made me realized that i continue my bo chap ways at learning, i have everything to lose and nothing to gain…

Perhaps, in a way, it makes me wise up and really get down and dirty to learning… Without my supportive friends, i would have falter… Now all the more, I cant let these pple down… I have to give my very best… and leave no stone unturned… in the quest for learning… the thirst has grown, it becomes more insatiable… I yearn to learn… even though I still may ask stupid qns… =X

Honestly, I never manage to push past my limits in the past… but now I am breaking the limits I have… I guess this happens once u pass the negative barrier… =) It pays to think.

Exams are coming, and time flies harder and faster… 2 weeks plus more… and i think i have more energy to push through it…

Have to thank a friend for encouraging me to excercise… to build up my stamina… and yes, i will heed that call as soon as the exams are over… *cant wait to starve more weight off*

But lets just keep things simple for now, one thing at a time… and that one thing… is EXAMS~!

By now, many of us have started mugging… and we all must jiayou and push on…~ It will be all over before we know it… and after that we can play a bit harder XD…

Hendri will be departing sg soon after exams… aww…. =)

As for me… Well… stay in sg lor XD

haha… Okie, i better get going to finsh my lab assignments…

before i doze off to dreamland… thought i might just drop by here…

Exams are coming, and many of us have already started mugging already… burning the late night oil and all… jia you k pple? I know this is gonna be a tough period for all of usbut as we shoulder on to mug and mug, lets not neglect our own health…

Drink loads of water, eat well and sleep well… of course, if u can squeeze in excercise, that would be great…

I can feel my pre symptoms coming… and i need more calcium to starve off the once a month crazy back aches… there is nothing medical science can do… the docs advised me to take more calcium… and some women naturally suffer from back aches too…

I personally feel I can minimise this problem… got to find a solution. any remedies? the only remedy i have is take pain killers… but i dun want to be addicted to it, and also it will lose its effectiveness…

Oh well…

Sometimes, we simply hit dirt. rough patch. and it somehow make us feel that we have hit the lowest point of our life… especially if it lasts thru a period of time… this happens to me. not just me, but many pple do experience this…

We can shake our heads in disbelief, wondering why are we feeling so sucky… and sometimes, all the feelings u get makes u feel so irritate, agitated and simply upset.

Its payback time.

We will trimph. =)

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
