Birthday....
posted on Monday, March 23, 2009
Hi all, many thanks to all who remembered my birthday and all the well wishes I've received =D. It always feels good to be remembered by people =D
Anyways I haven't been updating because I spent the entire last week attending a seminar called Principles of Biblical Counseling which is 8.30am-4.30pm daily then there is also lectures in the evenings, and it totally drained me out. Well I had a somewhat horrible birthday this year in fact, first of all I was totally drained, tired out etc. from the week of seminar then I was rushing my assignment till super late on Friday night cause on my birthday itself, I have lecture from 10am-5.30pm. First thing in the morning that happened that went wrong was the MRT. As I seemed to be a little behind time, I rushed all the way to the MRT station, saw the train approaching ran down the steps and squeezed my way into the train. The train stood still for a long while, and more and more people kept squeezing in even though it was already filled with people. I was horrible cause I was carrying my laptop, textbook etc, and it was really warm cause the train ain't moving and it's so squeezy people were literally "stuck" to each other.
A few minutes later, the MRT began to repeatedly broadcast and apologise that there will be a delay in the train taking off. It was quite a horrible feeling as people were beginning to feel hot and sweaty and it was about 30-40mins later, the MRT made an announcement that the train is faulty and that all passengers will need to alight. By then, my lecture had already begun. It was after another 20-30mins that the faulty train finally moved off and the next train came.
Just when I thought it's over, the train I got on stopped for like 10 minutes every station. It was only after 2-3stations that the SMRT actually announced to the passengers that there will be delay as they are trying to tow the faulty train out of service. Everyone on the train were complaining either to each other or on the phone, and everyone was so pissed off.
Well to top that bad morning off, I missed out over an hour of lecture, I was frantically trying to catch up with what is being taught and there was a ton of new concept that I need to pick up that day. By the end of the lecture, I was super tired already. But things kinda got better when I met up with my friend for a movie and dinner. And though my day didn't start off too well, thank God it ended off well.... the time is right;
{9:16 PM}
