Rants

Went for my swim meet yesterday.

I think I need to train more lah. Stupid body of mine totally no stamina.

Was competing in the 4x 50m girls' breast stroke and the 4 x 50m mixed medlay relays and I almost died.

I was supposed to be the 1st swimmer in the girls' event, and I was also one of the 1st to be off the block. According to my team mates, I was also leading for the 1st half of the pool.

However, I slowly felt my arms turning to lead and by the time I touched the end of the pool, I think I was one of the last lah! *Sobz*

Thankfully, we managed to make it into the final 8 as the 3rd fastest team. Otherwise I sure feel damn guilty one.

I was on the way from hall to town to meet my mummy for a night of shopping last Friday when I encountered 2 of the rudest (got this word anot har?) people I had ever seen in my life!

1st was this Indian driver who was driving bus 179 and plying the NTU to Boon Lay Interchange route.

It is common knowledge in NTU that 179 comes VERY frequently, so much so that you don't really have to run for a bus if you happen to see one more than 100 metres away.

179 bus drivers are also usually quite patient, waiting for students who spotted the bus from the overhead bridge linking NTU and NIE to dash to the stop as soon as they can.

Now, I was walking up to the 179 bus stop from hall on Friday when I stopped 179 already at the bus stop. Due to the reason mentioned above though, coupled with the fact that I was carrying quite abit of barang barang, I didn't bother running for the bus. However, 179 waited at the bus stop for pretty long, so much so that I was only about 20m away (and I was strolling) before it finally left.

Before I could take another step though, another 179 pulled up at the bus stop and so I decided to pick up my pace to catch the bus.

There were a few people who were running to the bus stop , forming a small crowd there though so I didn't bother to run as I knew I would be able to catch the bus in time.

Just as I was about the reach the bus stop, the bus driver started to horn frantically and incessantly, and just about the minute I boarded the bus, he closed the door and zoomed off, leaving a couple of poor students who were trying their best to dash from the link bridge to the bus stop stranded.

*sigh* Good Service provided by our public transport sector? My Ass. Not when there are such employees around.
