Finally, after days and nights of restless soul, my workload came almost to a halt. For the whole weekend I've been working like hell, occasionally releases stress with games as companion. Most of the team members were with me. Three cheers for the thoughtful us! Just today, we've completed ICTSCM E-commerce implementation report at 1730hrs when the dateline was 1659hrs. I would say, a job greatly done, but no pat on the back. I would expect not an A, but maybe a B or C cos there isn't much 'meat' in it. Due to? Last minute 'implementation'. Phew..
So we're now left with IB presentation, where the report has been handed up weeks ago. Thurs will be the end of everything! Except for sem exams... five papers to sit for, in two weeks. Sigh...
Today - a great day ended up with burning thoughts. I was thinking thoroughly about something while onboard the train from Yishun. And I stormed through...
"We're who we are in the league of our own - to each is own."
Who doesn't know? But one more thing...
"Competition holds the value for which we obtain victory by surpassing the benchmark of our own. This is value."
The true value of competition is what we can learn at the end of the day. Surpassing our own capability is what lies behind the true value of competition. Compete by oneself, for yourself and within, yet not without. It is dire. No point crossing the mark when at the end you find yourself at nowhere here nor there, and end up crawling back for milk.
Really, I still don't know how hell the train inspired me with these valuables. It was on my way back home from my grandma's house. I shall, rather, start off the story of today...
As usual I dreaded myself away from my cosy bed and off for school. It was 8.30am and class supposed to start at 9. So, chicholokio I got down to the bus stop and saw a cab waiting there. Ok! I decided to take and $17.30 brought me to school in 20mins, and it was a toyota wish! But hell, only to have realised the lab session has been changed to 10am. What the, I really thought I'd gotten to his class early the first time and also last. This week being the last week for the sem. Who knows, I got there really early, together with about 6 other victims!! Lesson started and then I continued with projs and more projs. I missed the last GSCM and EFMA lectures just to complete them. Oh heaven, in the end I went for a sun tan by the pool. !! wk and da were there swimming, so I took the chance for a 'sun' break.
1730hrs I left school and hurried to chinatown to buy a new tripod, rushed for fear it would close ops and I would not get one in time. But who knows the friend quit her job already, so no discount. Plus, there were only one type. Yacks! Thank goodness she told me City Hall's Cathay photoshop (the largest scale in sg i think) and I stormed there via MRT for fear it would close shop too. I stood at the concourse of Dhoby Ghaut station feeling a little lonesome and twisted my fingers for the closing time info on my ipod. Really appreciative, this poddy has helped me countless times whenever i needed help. 7Pm. half hr more before I can't do anythin! so MRT one stop and crazied across the 6-lane road. Got to peninsular pizza-plaza, and ok settled! It can be repaired, so the person took it and got it fixed with a spare part. A small plastic handle in China costs about $1 minus all freight costs and here, it was $20! No discount somemore! Ok no choice. 20 only? Give him la!!!! thank goodness it is repairable, if not another set of the same would have cost $148. dA wants to pay me back $20. Lol! "Dont pay me la, you helped me set up for filming i havn thank u. Had i bought the $148 set only maybe I'll get $10 from u. lol."
So walked all the way from there to plaza sing. Yes walked, i really enjoyed the scenery of the civic district. I wanted to take a train one stop back to Dhoby one, but concession wouldn't be enough for my return trip home. So then decided to take a bus. Chased for bus 175 and with just few more steps, mr captain drove it off. Fumingly startled totally. Flagged down 136, 64, 131 ...... much to my frustration, in my sweaty and smelly red shirt, before I decided to give in to my very own legs. Walked by and through the SMU and the feeling was like 'how I wish I could study here in time to come'. Really, my whole body turned green (...as if) as much the beautiful street landscape when i see bunches and crowds of the students walking around. ... LOL.
Again, I day dreamt until one chilli Ferrari nearly (NEARLY) kissed my butt with an IMPACT while I crossed the junction. Ok leh, nothing happened to me, just felt so restless why didn't the Ferrari did so, at least it's a Ferrari ok! Not any toyotas. And even the honk sounded so nice lah... Till I nearly turned red, red and more red! (red shirt, red Ferrari, then the pool of blood). So, found wk and da at arcade in PS and they were playing silent hill again! That was while I enjoyed watching. Blah blah blah, then I hurried off to Yishun. Daiso's oolong tea was nice!
Saw the whole sequence? Went to my grandma place to return the tripod to aunt and from then, is when I gave myself the honour to realise the 'burning statements' hahaha. Maybe it doesnt really matter.
Immediately blogged the moment i got bathed. And it is quite interesting to note that actually, i do have visitors from canada, iran and korea! Maybe scary? hahah. No la. World without boundaries ok! Hey friend, welcome!
Seriously, i feel so skinny now after long walks and sprints. Plus and indefinite flame of thoughts. Smile! Next stop, Dreamlands. Thank you for travelling with pocolento. Good night =)
