what a bad day! woke up early for a lecture at 10am but realised i forgot to print notes. so i went to my com lab to print lahz. they changed the system to choose the printers to print in the com and that computer that i'm using couldn't detect the new system. then i changed com.. waited for the com to start for super long and finally it got started up. i clicked to the file that i wanted, set the printer using the new system, and i began to print a few notes. but guess what! it later indicates that the printer was not connected! so i went to the printing room.. ARRGGGHHH! some technicians are fixing the printers! at this time?! without informing! and now.. 10.51am. I'm still in the com lab! feel so arrggh! why?!
This post is gonna be long.. No school for me this week.. it's unofficial. But neither did i enjoy myself this week.. I was supposed to have school for 3 days..
Unfortunately I had a gastric on Tuesday.. seemed to have upset my tummy. Then for today, Mum requested me to stay home as she had called this guy, who specialize in this area, to help us fix our lights as she bought new lightings.. And my mum had two lights for him to fix, one rack(for my room) and one hanger (for the kitchen) hoping that since he has the drill, then might as well "shun bian". Before he drilled the holes to fix the rack, he asked if it'll affect the electricity flow.. (maybe some cables etc..) and after mumbling to himself.. it seemed that he had analysed that there'll be no problem. so he fixed my rack and hurray, my room was done! And so he went to the kitchen and followed my mum instruction without questioning about water pipes and electricity like he previously did, and started to drill the holes for her. It was really one hole away from success! what we need was four holes drilled to put the hanger up. But... the next moment i saw when he drilled the fourth hole was.....................
WATER STARTED SPLASHING OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE!
GOSH! the uncle quickly used his thumb to hold the water back, and asked me to switch off the main water supply.. but.. i just couldn't figure how to off it.. and he called me to take over his position, so he could switch the main supply. The water pressure was seriously very strong.. and i just got myself wet and shocked in the midst of taking over as the water stopper! Horrible experience.. I had never since such high pressure water splashing onto my face and body.. what's more in an indoor area! The three of us in the kitchen were stunned.. really. My mum and I were scared.. it's just terrifying. The water pipe specialists are coming to fix the water pipe tmr.. my mum gotta work.. and that explains why I can't go school tmr oso..
Sigh. I think it gonna cost a bomb.. at least a few hundred dollars.. Whenever I think of this incident.. tho it's scary, it makes me laugh. cos what my mum wanted was just to put a $10 dollar plus hanger.. and now.... it costs her at least $xxx. My mum was funny too.. she said that letting water splash in is good.. means money will come. lol. Superly superb.
I was stuck in a traffic jam from about 1830-1915 near Ang Mo Kio Hub.. it was a terrible jam.. and I was stuck on Bus 136. it was not an expressway.. neither is it a road that will be jammed usually. therefore, the first thought was.. "oh no.. must be some serious car accident.." and it really was. the wail of the siren was right behind my bus. and as it was really jammed up, the ambulance was held back too. The wail of the siren got louder and louder and it created the tension and fear in me. The urgency was so strong that the ambulance gotta go against the direction and drive on the opposite road. my heart was really thinking about the seriousness of the accident. in fact, goosebumps were all over me. When the bus finally started moving and getting closer to the accident..oh gosh.. it was a bus (somewhat like a school bus to me) being crashed into a huge lorry in the junction of a four directional road. the bus' window was crushed and policemen were giving directions. four sides of the road were jammed up.. it was quite like a mess. Just pray that the drivers would be safe and sound..
The week started in relaxing mood but it ended in total tiredness after today.. I've never sat in a lecture hall for six hours without any lunch or proper break! It was really tired especially for the last lecture which the lecturer dragged the lecture with all the praises of herself in the construction industry.. yah i admit she's really good in this industry but perhaps she could have shared them the next time and not holding us back. I suppose for the future fridays would be like this too.. sigh. 6 hours lectures at one go isn't a joke. can't regret now.. cos i used high bidding points to get that module.. what to do? bear with it and live with it for another sem then.. However fortunately I had no tuition on friday! Phew.. good planning for this at least!
Finally I'm done with my room! Really love my room now cos it has been revamped! hoho. no more sitting on the floor as if i'm a jap! Sitting on good comfy swivel chair accompanied with a neat white table, matching my new coated apple white wall! I'm glad that these one week's effort wasn't in waste or in disappointment! Thank God for all the blessings! :)
School's starting in 9 hours time! Oh no.. stunned with the fact that I need to think of what time to wake up for preparation after so many weeks with so many events! Break from school for too long and it seems that starting school is a new thing once again! maybe this is good.. so I can set new goals for this new sem!
Really need wisdom for this semester! 5 cores for this sem again! Tuition increased from 3 students to 5 now! YF commitment will increase too.. no more datang! And... new commitment into children min! Lots of revamp needed over there! Church redevelopment projects (YIM) will be coming up with lots of events too! Just thinking if I've wore too big a hat.. ah! gotta brace myself! None can I let go!
It's a NEW YEAR! Looking back at 2007.. one word to describe: Grace I found grace in the midst of my messy life.. I guess 2008 would be more exciting! May I be ready for the challenges to come!
