MRT mishap

So i was gettin gback fr dinner wiht kiat in clementi
and i took the mrt back to pioneer
i was reading abook to pass the time
and i missed my stop!!!!
shittttttttttttttttts

and the bad thing was since it was 11.45, there were no more trains going in the opposite direction anymore.
gosh i was panicking coz joo koon is the industrial area and i've never been there b4

panicked, i asked the mrt control station if there were any buses to pioneer and luckily there was one
the guy gave me somewhat ogod directions to the bustop near the mrt and i waited there.
the bad thing was it was so empty!
at that time of the night, being an industrial area, there's practically no one around
i'm just glad sg is quite safe and nothing hapened.

in fact, there was this guy on the mrt ho saw me cursing when i missed my stop and actually stoped by the bustop where i was waiting and told me there was another bus to pioneer mrt.
he didn't know that the bus i was waiting for also went there, but it was very nice of him to seek me out and try to give me advice.
at first i thought he was gonna try something funny coz i was alone
but he was just being nice.

So i caught the bus, and the uncle was nice, told me to get off when i reached the stadium opp the pioneer mrt. (coz i told him where i wanna go)
i think he found it a bit strange strange that a lone girl would be taking buses fr joo koon area

kinda reminds me of the time i took the night bus from town after going to the club with gladys and robson
and the bus driver told me where to get off too
and that time i had no idea where to get off, so that was truly truly helpful

anyway caught the last 179 which was a total blessing
and now i am back in teh safety of hall 4!

additional rantings

oh and i forgot to add
when that stupid driver jam break.
my bag fell on the floor
and i had just washed it
my nice white bag

Freaky Taxi Driver

Today I had to go EDB to pick up directories (ya.... i know)
So anyway took a cab because i can claim the fare.

On the way back, I got this taxi driver who seriosuly had anger issues.
It started out fine. I just noticed that he adored honking ppl

but the thing was when he turned out from an intersection some motorbike honked him
and it pissed him off.
So at the traffic light, he started making gestures at the bike
and it jsut so hapens, the biker was also a road bully
YIPPEEEEE

he actually got down fr the bike to come over and start yelling at the taxi.
i'm like..........
he also kicked the door etc etc

I can't blame the biker actually, i mean it was quite rude for the taxi driver to start making those faces and hand gestures in the first place.
It was only a honk......... prob to warn him that he was turning (who knows)?
Then he started taking out his phone to take a pic of the taxi license plates bla bla bla
it got really intense when the taxi tried to pull out and go ahead coz he actually stayed in front syaing "hit me la hit me"

oh gosh......

anyway after that the biker started staying ahead, purposely slwoing down
u know, normal road bullying stuff

and i was getting worried, my the meter is still running, it looks like i'm gonan be involved in a fight
and the taxi wasnt helping by yelling at me that I'm his witness
........

taxi guy was getting excited and agitated
and the best option was just to agree that the other guy was a road bully
(even though both of htem seriosuly had issues)

wat an exciting day.

and to top it off
i was asked to call Vicky for another meeting schedule
even though my laptop is not with me and i can't access the address book
even though i have to use my own phone
even though he had to text me the number

i still had to call Vicky and then tell him the time slot that Vicky could get

makes u wonder huh....

strange music

Its weird.
I was super into this song Shy That Way- Tristan prettyman and JAson mraz on friday
i was sending the link to ppl and all that

but when i listened to it on sunday i wasnt as into it as i used to be
it was just a 2 day difference
how could i ahve gotten sick of it so fast???

I think I now know y I've been so stressed and discontented.

I keep expecting more technical projects to be handed to me
like, i'll just complete all the admin shit first, then maybe later i'll get something better.
but as it turns out, htere's never gonna be something better

as i realized last week when i was scheduling and creating online confercing meetings
sigh.....
anyway, that was a very sad, traumatic, tragic wake-up call that this is as good as it gets

which totally sucks but as carrot points out, its my attitude to the whole IA.
like if i go in with the thought that i'm open to EVERYTHING then i'll be ok

but since i keep expecting that as an ENGINEERING student
i'm supposed to be actually learning bout technical stuff :
seeing how an engine gets made
learning bout the current research status

but unfortunately, i have become a secretary
i have sort of accepted my situation
and adjusted my expectations drastically
so i'm feeling better, but it still sucks that i'm not doing stuff related to my course.

i mean, there's so much horror stories out there botu internships (being a slave and all that)
so its nto to say that my situation is totally out of hte ordinary
its just that i had my hopes up too high

anyway, thank god i had a roomate to rant to and pray with
so things are looking up

acceptance brings peace

2 months more to go!

books

I visited the national library today at bugis with glads and robson

so the day before, qin had passed me her bro's lib card to use
and i actualyl borrowed books!!

ok this is exciting coz back home if there's a book i really wanna read, i'd either have to spend over 40rm on 1 book, or rent it at like 8 abook

but the lib here in sg is actually well stocked
and it has matthew reilly!!

so it was awesome
being now able to have unlimited access to all the books that i actually wanna read
i wont have to limit myself to wat ntu has anymore
which is really not much

ntu intern

So my mid term review for IA is tomorrow
i'll meet the prof with my supervisor to discuss what i';ve been doing these past few months

hmmmm
WHAT have I been doing?

thank god for the shared folder
i can copy the template
so thats one half of the work done

but the bad thing is
i start comparing what previous interns did
in comparison to me
