fodder

the pebbles you've arranged,
in the sand they're strange.
they speak to me like constellations,
as we lie here.

    Interesting Day

    It seems like the worry wart's still intent on lurking around because I suffered post-exams insonmia yesterday. Couldn't sleep till 4 and woke up at the usual 7. Nonetheless, I lasted a somewhat interesting day on barely 3 hours of sleep!





















    Top row (left to right): Some funny motif I found on a t-shirt at Hula & Co. Check it out, the girl has a REAL sequiny thing as a pendant! Hahahaha.../ Comfort eating after exams are finally over. Ding ding ding! ;)/ Funny red date drink which tasted nicer than it looked.
    Middle row: Shrimp wanton noodles. Yum./ Me and that Friny who hadn't been to Ding Tai Feng till today!/ My meaning in life. The XLBs (Xiao Long Bao)!
    Bottom row: Friny and her virgin XLB (that girl told me she had not tried XLBs before) ;)/ Showing the taka toilet auntie who's boss in front of the mirror. Oh, and I was wearing 4 necklaces all at the same time. Tell me I rock!/ We both have streaked hair, but Friny's done by a pro, mine's by a semi-pro, ie. DIY me lah.

    Then came time for tuition...















    Was told the kid stays at Jurong West and I relied on streetdirectory.com for the bus services which were available in that area. Apparently 182 is the only bus that goes there and I stupidly referred to the year 2000 edition of the Transitlink guide to be willingly misled into thinking 182 starts servicing at the Jurong East interchange.

    Got there and realised it was Boon Lay interchange instead. ARGH.

    Got to Boon Lay and realised 182 goes to Tuas, apparently!! Double ARGH. Aren't I supposed to be tutoring and not sold as child labour on the construction sites/factories of Tuas?!!! I raised an eyebrow (because I can only raise my right one) at what I saw but the sight of HDB flats assured me that Boon Lay is at least 50% civilisation, so I shouldn't be served as child labour after all.

    Still, the massive numbers of foreign workers was enough to make me move away from the queue for 182 and make a dash for the taxi stand instead.

    The kid's not very bright, but she tries and I'm extremely thankful for that.

    Then halfway through the lesson, I received this sms from the tuition agent:















    It reads: "New tuition careful of flasher" (pardon the bad English)!!!

    Wtf?!??

    I knew it.

    I knew the pay wouldn't be so high for no sound reason. There must have been recurrent flasher reports made to her by previous tutors, that's why she was kind enough to send me a, eh warning and only after I got duped int0 going to that ulu suaku place at that!

    For the sake of money, I will rough it out and take the potential danger involved in my pride for I am a professional tutor.

    Muahahahahaha..

    The lack of sleep's getting to me, huh.
