panic! from clementi to toa payoh
Saturday, January 24, 2009
friday was too much of an adventure. i like adventures, usually, but only when i plan them. if it's not planned by me, then things will be happening so fast, then i will panic, and my brain stops rationalizing.
the first heart-attack happened in the morning before school started. my dad was happily driving along, and i was happily being driven along, half-asleep on the ecp. then suddenly, instead of continuing down the ecp, my dad turned into the kpe! i panicked! he was all: aiya, wo3 wei4 shen3 me3 zou3 zhe4 li3, then i woke up completely and: AIYA! NI3 WEI4 SHEN3 ME3 ZOU3 ZHE4 LI3! then i just sad there panicking while he drove to the stevens road exit and i was almost late for school. yeah that was a minor heart-attack, which i can laugh about.
the second heart-attack happened after the SMP launch. rachel said she could give me and jinghan a lift to clementi mrt, so we waited. then suddenly, rachel said cannot, and it was 6 already, so i panicked! because the best possible bus i could take was 52, and 2-3 minutes ago, i just saw kayyi, clarisse chu and yuann leaving on bus 52! so i stood there panicking. considered getting a taxi, but decided against it because there were 2-3 other groups of people getting taxi too. so eventually bus 52 came, 10 minutes later, and i bused to j8. the whole way i was panicking, because the bus was moving super slowly, and there were traffic jams, and people seemed to want to get on and off at every stop.
and then, these 2 kids and a maid came and sat next to me. which i'm usually fine with, because i like kids on a general basis. but the two kids were super annoying, especially the boy! he was screaming and screaming, and not even because he was sad or angry, but he seemed to be enjoying himself, and he purposely screamed into his sister's ear. his maid was telling him to be quiet, but he wouldn't (or couldn't) listen/understand, and he was punching his sister and squeezing her neck. not that she seemed to mind. she appeared to be having fun. but he was such a horrible boy and i was screaming silently all the way >:( all of a sudden i am discouraged about having kids when i grow up.
yeah then the bus came to this stop where almost everybody got off, so i naturally assumed it was j8, because we were in bishan, and j8 has an mrt station, so i got off too. thankfully, it was j8. wow. so i hurried up and mrted to tpy, where i was late for training, which didn't matter much, because everyone's usually late for training.
yeah so between 6-7pm it was just panic panic panic, and i am very glad it was over. actually, i probably wouldn't have to panic, if i told my dad to fetch me, but i am determined to be independent, and not let my dad fetch me everywhere, because he is a good dad, and he shouldn't have to.
