I am simply speechless. Today was a day with a huge, round and perfect moon up in the clear sky. It was a bad day, as I have had the urge to go over to East Coast park to study and enjoy the nice view. But, based on my last blog posting~ I have decided to be good and attend class so i dumped that idea and left office early. With that, I had also plan to go over to Starhub with the SCV box to terminate my cable TV plan once the lesson ended to save an additional trip for Dad.
Had everything in place and left my desk. Waited for the same bus that could bring me to Park Mall by 7.10pm (latest), and the journey was smooth till we turn in to SMU near the YMCA. The traffic was terrible due to road closure to celebrate the Indian's festive - Thaipusam along Penang Road. 2 road lanes became 1 with the buses, cars and people jamming as one. Imagine that... 6 buses in a row and I'm on the 7th bus. Time clicking away, and by 7.10; we are still jammed at YMCA!
Passengers alighted in the middle of the jam, which I didn't as I wasn't still aware of what was happening. Patiently, I sat down and pray that the bus would move. But never did it, and as I was getting impatient - I rang the bell and walked to the uncle to ask which road will the lane closure end.
Uncle simply looked at me and said "I don't know".
So it's okay, "Uncle? Can I alight?"
He looked at me again... "Why didn't you alight just now?"
The conversation went on and I realized the stop which I used to alight is also CLOSED! Damn it... no choice but to take the bus till Somerset, and took a train back to Dohby Ghuat.
Back to my plan to go Starhub, Dad did not pass me the billing which I made a wrong transfer and I'm too pissed to go and have the termination then. Thus, after much hesitation, I headed to the NEL and took a train back to meet Dad. I should have just stayed in the office, and not think of going to school. Wasted my time to travel from Bugis to Somerset using 1 HOUR. First time in my life~ Once again, I missed my lesson but at least I tried.
It was just an unlucky day, with all the ruined plans. This is what it will happen when one is down, to add fuel to the fire. Hope you had a better day, I'm tired but don't feel like closing my eyes. 24 hours is never sufficient...
The heart's cold, it's just another beautiful mistake. 11:59 PM
