Fourteen
I'm fasting again today.
I don't feel like talking much, so this will be short.
I'm pretty beat.
(Hmm. I felt like I've used this excuse before...)
.....
Two things I want to say today.
1) My IQ dropped today.
Now, contrary to rumours, popular belief, or the way I look, I actually become smarter everyday. Don't laugh, it's true. But today my IQ level dropped and a couple of brain cells died because I did what seems to me the most ridiculous English excercise I had ever had to do as of this year.
The excercise in the workbook went something like this:
Qn 4) The mountaineers could (sea, see) the mountain peak ahead of them.
You're supposed to figure out which one of the words is more appropriate.
Hmmmmm....
Wonder which one is the correct answer. Tough decision, don't you find?
2) Keep your patience in check.
Especially if you're fasting.
Like me.
Take today's bus ride to Kembangan Interchange, for example. We pressed the button to go down at Kembangan, but did he stop? Nooooo! (Loi said we pressed it late, but don't listen to her! Listen to me!)
We pressed again, frantically. We figured that, ok, maybe we should just drop off the next bus stop (which wasn't
too far) and walk the way back to the MRT Station.
But did he stop? Nooooo!
We had to wait in the bus alllll the way to Bedok MRT Station.
Mus and Dinah were so annoyed that they wrote down the SBS plate number.
You know, to complain.
Frankly, I wasn't that annoyed. It was pretty funny.
Besides, that driver was old. He's probably half-deaf or something.
Or maybe having a bad day? PMS PMS.
