Monday, 8 January 2007(G)

First day of school!!! Finally school started. Woke up exceptionally early today so that i can try out how long it will take me to travel by bus to school in my aim in saving $$$$$$$$ by only buying bus concession. But to my greatest dismay , it did not really turned out as well as i thought it would. In a nutshell, i am suddenly grateful to the implementation of COE. I never knew there is so many cars in singapore, and also never knew that so many cars love to clog up the road at the same time lah. The bus that i am onboard, literally stopped at EVERY stop lah... Either the bus driver had an agenda against me or the other passengers are just trying their very best to make sure that they take an eternity of my time lor. And every time the bus turn into the bus stop , it takes like 10000 eons to get out of it, thanks to the zillions of car that happens to be on the road at the same time. Ok maybe i am a little exaggerating not 10000 eons but 10000 eons minus one day... Seriously hor, if there is no COE, i think i walk to school would be even faster than the bus lah.. i can picture the bus just stuck there FOREVER.. Its like with COE the bus is like stopping every half minute or less.. Its as though the bus driver is trying to strike up a conversation with every driver on the road lah....Thats it, i am so trying another bus route tml...

Luckily my trip back was smoother than tofu i must say, when i reach the school bus stop , 151 came, and just as i alighted from 151 , 852 came , and when i reach yishun interchange 804 also came.. wat more can i ask for except less passengers boarding/alighting, less red lights, less traffic ONLY not too much rite?

Bus and traffic aside, on saturday went out for dinner with Jeff and marilyn at suntec, back to the place affectionately known as "The herbal chicken shop". Jeff was talking about his trip to taiwan and he said something about the luckiest number in chinese is actually not 8 but 13 and 9 and the unluckiest number is 10. And how the number of storkes in your chinese name affects ur luck somehow. Than i go count the number of storkes in my chinese name which adds up to 4+6 = 10 = unlucky=cursed=chiuz!!!!! well to console myself i suppose my name itself is lucky so it can counter balance it..haha cos one of the word is 吉 which happens to mean prosperity..haha its the same chinese word u can find in hong baos..haha..
Anyway talking about this, i remember one of my fren telling me about zodiac signs all those are merely having the forer effect. To clear your doubt, The Forer effect refers to the tendency of people to rate sets of statements as highly accurate for them personally even though the statements could apply to many people. Do you agree?haha i certainly do but somehow i think i have mastered the highest level of self deceit.. haha...my little hope and glow in this dark and sad world ...=)..
