I thought the week flew by! July 25, 2009
Darn the 8 o’clock traffic on a rainy morning. By 8.15am I’m usually near Newton. The same time this morning my bus was still crawling on the stretch of Thomson Road opposite the nurseries.
8.40am when I finally hit Far East Plaza and hopped onto a cab, muttering my destination.
“Going to work?” He could sense my slight anxiety.
“Yes, Uncle.”
“Traffic’s terrible today.”
… (10 min journey)
“I’ll pay by NETS, Uncle.”
“Okay approved, need a receipt?”
My reflex answer of “Yes, please.” was met 2 seconds later by “Actually, I don’t need one..” and promptly bounced off the cab.
Shucks. Had to buy coffee for someone and half-clopped up the escalator.. Amazed how the queue is so much longer 5 minutes before 9? DON’T THESE PEOPLE NEED TO WORK? Then again, what am I doing there? -_-
Right, coffee. 10 seconds into the queue and I realised a couple is jamming the kopi queue with goodness knows probably 5 kopis, 4 kopi Cs, 2 tehs, 3 teh Cs, 1 milo pengs or something. Terrible, these people. 15 cups-to-go for the department is not gonna get you anywhere. Except maybe a Miss Congeniality $20 shopping voucher during D&D.
Anyway I managed to slip in just after 9 but the record is gonna show… Hor hor hor. Sigh. But if I was awfully late this morning, so was the class. =D
Oh boy did I have an encounter with a GROSSLY ill-mannered woman this evening.. but that’s another story for another day.

Roarrr! How can a stranger come along and anyhow-ly say I’m not doing proper job housekeeping?! For the record, I think theres been better qi within my 3m radius recently. … keep clean eh …
I can and would like to continue minding my own business, thank you very much.
Just a mid-day rant.
Om.

I let someone voice her ‘utmost disappointment’ over the phone this afternoon. Not a nice feeling for sure, knowing it was not my fault. But at least it is something easy to let go off.. In through this ear, out through the other.
Sad to say not all things are easy in life.
But who’s to say that things are what they are.. Certainly by grace we are where we are today for a reason. =)
