WHAT A LONG DAY!
ThursdayOhgoodness, STA smsed us to tell us gotta to down to reconfigure and install stuff by friday. So i went down for dental (ouch ttm!) and FLEW over to school to send in my laptop as well as go for practice & preview.
------------------
*oh sidetrack. While i was waiting for the cab from Alexander Hospital to go the MRT (cos i was rushing and the shuttle was not there, im not that rich HAHA). There was this patient/passenger in front of me who was wheel chair bound and had a little problem speaking. He just looked like any other old folk who lost their ability to walk and speak, of course with a whole series of other illnesses too i guessed? So this indian cabbie drove up from the taxi queue, stopped and started pointing at me. I thought that the patient/passenger cut my queue and that the guy was telling them that i came first. But then he came outta the cab, literally start cursing and swearing at the guys at AH who helps ppl call for cabs, help boarding and open for you. He said nasty things! In the presence of that patient! Things like,
' eh so many other chinese taxi-s you ask him take the others lah!'or' wa lau i dont like such thing lah! you sure he know where he wanna go anot! $%!&@ i always meet this kinda thing you know! later i cannot communicate with him how! I come back to find you you know!'and' you dont expect me to help him you know! i cannot understand him ah you dont blame me!'/
AND MIND U HE WAS SHOUTING. These were only a few of the things he said. It really pissed me off and made me feel like i wanna be a racist now. Like what the heck, you drive up to the hospital taxi stand, what you expect, healthy people hailing cabs and all? And get a life, that pooor guy, despite being wheelchair bound, even bothered to painstakingly lift himself outta the wheelchair and throw himself into the cab just because he didnt wanna trouble people. And the worst part was, he cursing and swearing about the person
in the presence of that person and somemore the guy cld understand you know! What the heck right. And i was still worried what would happen after they drove off - whether that idiot will scold and shame the patient in the cab. URGH, singaporeans sometimes really disgust me. Sorry, i just had to blog out it.
----------------------------
Okay so i got to sch, set up my laptop, on - blue screen. Restarted - blue screen. Then the guy shake head and say symtomps must reformatt. I only have this problem in sch, at home no such thing. He said no choice D: They kept me as positive as possible though! :D But lucky i got it all backed up and and and and i so needa emphasize they're REALLY HELPFUL. LIKE REALLY. They end work at ard 5 everyday but ytd all of them stayed till 7! Supposedly installation of CS4 only takes 3-4 hrs plus updating of service pack. BUT i had to reformat so total would take 6-7 hrs? So they reformatted, installed the service pack (which took super long), downloaded the rest of the impt stuff for me so that i can use my laptop and not waste too much time coming down again the next day to finish up. Such darlings really! Thank you guys :D
Preview was TERRIBLE. We were not ready, not everyone learnt choreo, pitching was terrible cos unfamiliar with the songs, and the rest of the performing arts IG ppl were there to look, shucks. Terrible. I taught them choreo after preview and hopefully by mondays full dress we'll be done? :/ Mom came to pick me at 7pm after everything was done :D
TODAY
Headed down to sch early in the morning around 10 to go down and do more things like updating Adobe CS 4 Suite into my com, took like 2 hrs? Rah, happily waited at the IT helpdesk. Ke ai ended sch early so he came down to acc me and pick me to go off later. He had lunch in school, got my laptop done, then whizzed off to Yishun Safra.
Mode of transport:

This has gotta be the longest pillion for me man. From woodlands to yishun mrt like super near. Drive/ride there whoa super long. Can't say i enjoyed it fully becauseeeee gooodness, the weather today was HOT TTM, seriously BURNING HOT. Bike, no aircon. Helmet - makes u perspire like NUTS, honestly. My known-for-always-being-neat-nomatterwhat hair totally lost image. The clouds were brilliant though, pity cldnt take photos.
First destination. Safra, we bowled 3 games :D 2-1, i won :D

After that we went the park beside i played swing, talked abit rest abit and then i felt hungry. Cos i only had a youghurt since morning till that time which was prob 3? :/ We set off again, hot sun. Silly fella wanted me to decide where to go, but i no idea. He stopped by the road just to ask me wa lau -.- Ended up he wanted to watch movie, so we went PS! The journey thre was looooong and started to get scary. Knowing guys, they always wanna be first you know? So highway many cars, got traffic light uh, must squeeze and weave through one by one to go to the front. Got ppl beside them go faster, they zoom zoom zoom also. Mad one, but he promised to keep below 120kmh - which he did! He didnt know but at the back iwas totally monitoring the meter and in my mind ' ahhhhh, careful! SLOWER!' . HAHA! By the time got to PS, we were both drenched - and burnt. His arms totally can see super obvious tan lines. PS no movie, cos i die die dont wanna watch action packed ;/ We went cathay to catch
17 again. I gotta admit that though im not a fan of Zac Efron, he was totally HOT in the movie. And it was a nice show to me. Rate probably a 3 or 3.5? (: No time for photos! It was only 7 when the movie ended and figured that he wldnt send me back so early so again, stopped halfway by the road to ask me where to go -.- He then decided on Esplanade so we zoomed there again!

Over there we just slacked, walk ard hear live band, i took coupla photos, then sat down to talk - old uncle telling me stories of the ocean, the IR, logical things and all. Tsk. We walked to the other end, sit, talk - realised it was already 9 by then, so zoomed home. The weather at night's so cold esp when u zoom, makes ur hair stand and u start shivering. Night time not much crowd too so he was going alot faster (yells). Sent me back, at the void deck told me more life stories until he realised it was 10 and he had to go all the way back and there's sch tml. HAHA!

Well though my image totally ruined today - slipping off the bike, lessons on how to wear your helmet properly (-.-) messy hair everytime the helmet comes off, perspiring like a pig, bumming into people and all; my day was great though tiring, sticky and smelly! It's 1:36am now, dad brought us out for supper just now and food at night, cant sleep. So yes, im done! :D
Okay xian, this is your cue to go sleep. HAHAHAHA!
