The modules this semester... though only news writing requires us to bring laptop, but only Web Publishing and Digital Video Production interests me.

GEMS start first thing on Mon, and Aqmar and I didn't check where our class is, so went around the block like some headless flies then chanced upon the i-kiosk outside the library and was able to check it out. But of course, we were late.

As it happens to be Tuesday when the schedule was tight, starting lesson at 8am and ends at 5pm, I came down with a flu, making me sneeze 8-9 times at a go, sometimes when my AH have not even sounded, the CHOO comes straight after another CHOO. So it goes, Ah Choo! Ah Choo! CHOO! CHOO! CHOO! CHOO! ... and on.
Rajan didn't want us to address by MR, 'cos he says he didn't need a gender affirmation. So I went Ah Choo-ing in his class as well, so he joked about me having an allergy to him. When I say that I didn't want to see a doctor, he asked if I want my sickness to be fermented for a week before I do so. Haha

So Wednesday came, and I've got rid of the flu without any medication, but ended up with a sore throat, though can't smell much, I'm still able to taste. (Luckily!) School ended real early so went home to slack for a while before I bathe and go to sleep, without having lunch.

Plenty of water did help, throat feels better today. What irritates me was the train early this morning.
While reaching Jurong, the trained stopped in the middle of no where, for 5 minutes. GOODNESS! I'm in a rush 'cos I can't be late for the first lesson! When it finally budged, and reached Jurong station, the train going towards Pasir Ris is gone for good (DO NOT BOARD). And according to my friend, there are already 3 DO NOT BOARD trains gone! When I finally made my squeeze into the train, I'm only a step away from being pushed out of the train if someone behind had made any movement.
Then, was the travel to Clementi. It started off slow, then stopped. An opposite train passed by, and it gather up the speed to go on again... no, it didn't gather up much speed, the speed was constantly... slow for quite some time. Jerked again. Yet another opposite train passed by. Finally it made its Chiong to Clementi!
Had to step out at Clementi station to make way for people alighting, not many however, and quickly made my way into the train. As I ended up at Dover at last, met Aqmar by chance and we rushed for class. Was 15 minutes late. Well, no amount of explanation would help for my late arrival. So I've derived to a conclusion, when you are in a rush, things simply won't work out. So be prepared for such circumstances.

I really don't get why do we pay the transport costs, for all these :
There'll always be people who are unable to board the train due to the rush hour time and had to wait for another one.
There'll always be train that goes "This train is terminating at Yew Tee" "This train is terminating at Yishun" when it isn't the final stop.
There'll always be "Attention all passengers, the train at Platform A/B is not for passenger service, please wait for another passenger servce train. Thank You"
Transport costs hike every year without fail. Yet the service and situation doesn't seem to improve.

The people around me, and in fact almost the whole class seems to have contracted my contagious flu that I hear sneezes and coughs throughout the lesson.
I'm so guilty and deeply sorry for making all of you fall sick. >.<

So as it happens to be, the first week of semester 2 doesn't seem to start out smooth, and I kept getting late this week. I hate to be late man. Got to push myself for the better.
But there's always things to cheer me up! Event of the year is coming! comment (0)
