Big Rain Today

The weather was fine when i boarded the MRT today, strange i managed to leave home early today haha... it started pouring when i reach Bouna Vista MRT... As usual the Bus stop was packed with commuters heading to work,i didn't wait long for my bus to arrive... then aunties armed with umbrellas stormed into the bus as soon as the door open... unfortunately i was behind one of the aunties, who 'watered' my left sleeve with her umbrella (and rain water) when i boarded the bus... grrr... wat a morning, went to work with a drenched right sleeve..

Been quite amazed at my spending recently haha... i can save alot as well as spend alot all within the space of a month or two? think i am pampering myself too much, watever i wan, i buy... hoho well i think this is not a good habit, gotta start my super saving soon...btw did i mentioned spending is super shiok?
hehe

Journey to(wards) the East

Sidetrack abit before I touch on the abovementioned title of this post... I managed to "convince" myself to go swimming today... haha well actually wanted to go swimming on numerous weekends but always find excuses for myself eg (Weather not good, tired, here pain there pain) today finally manage to go there cos i find myself too white (though i am still darker than most ppl haa)... anyway it feels good to finally acomplish something u wanted to do, many ppl nv accomplish their tasks they set out for themselves unless 'pressured'... Glad i managed to do it hoho... Oh another thing that i always wanted to do for many years i also did it today hurray... that is visit my alma mater Singapore Polytechnic (SP) (see my pics below), this place holds alot of happy memories for me... Finally visited it after 8 years absence (next stop NTU? hehe)...

ok now for the main dish...

Updates....

Life is still the same.. for me.. been listening to some chinese classic pop songs from my MP3 collection... Well abt a long absence from the songs i must say that "re-hearing" them makes them sounds real nice...

There was a MRT "accident" at CCK MRT on Monday.. A man fell into the track and was killed. Sounds famaliar? Well the news did not do much coverage to it, i guess it's due to the earlier 'accidents' that they don't want to publicise it and produce more 'copycats'

Well still poor as usual, though i got a salary increase and i can afford to buy a car now (cos i can really spend very little on myself and with some outstanding loans), i think i shall pass it for the moment. becos if i buy, means i will have not $$ for other things... like my 'glasses', 'models', 'good food' etc... somemore burden with loans now.. better dun stretch the limit haa... anyway i think i have not much use for a car now also. Even though i can claim mileage for work-related trips but those trips are also not that critical that i gotta own a car and be a slave to it. Perhaps will consider it after i finish repaying the banks...

Well digress a little from the topic, taking the public transport for so long, i seen some ugly behavior, i think the worse commuters are those from the 2 most populous countries now, mabbe not all of them are like tat but some la at least in SG when the usu they dun queue, just cut across, when they queue,they will jostle wif u for a place in the already packed place. Some stand so near to u that u can even smell their (bad) breath phew... it's astonishing that not only are the guys who are doing these the gals as well... mabbe that is their culture in their homeland and they brought it here.. so much for graciousness.Sometimes it doesn't help that some of them (esp from the colder northern provinces) bathe only once every 3 days it's acceptable for them back there but in singapre eh...

Overheard 2 of my colleagues talking abt cars lately.. one was telling the other "buy 1st lah, dun care, $$ later than care"... Guess this is the mentality of youths nowadays or rather i am too old and backward... "Plan Plan Plan 1st" is almost non-existence...Oh well to each it's own

P/S: not to be confused with the actual naming of the species, i shall call my 2 new friends: "Monkie" the Monkey and "Mushruv" the Mushroom or in short "Monkie" and "Mushruv"


One of my fav songs, listen to the lyrics (i am a sucker for nice meaningful lyrics)
