doink doink me

Question: Is shermayne street wise?
Answer: No.

Proof:
Yesterday, I decided to catch the Link bus from general library to grafton for my lab since I can't walk much. First time catching the Link bus. The day before, was asking henry where to catch the bus, what time the bus come, what bus, how much and where to get off since he always go to grafton for class. (Yes, I'm terrible at public transport coz I always drive or walk.In msia, the only form of public transport I kno is the LRT and the free bus to mid valley :p) Anyhuuzzz...catching the bus to grafton was all good. Got off the right stop, was actually pretty simple. Heeheee..duh!!!

After lab, also catched the bus back. It stopped at Symonds St near Subway. Lots of ppl got down. I was thinking....should I get off here or should I just get off in front of the library since that's where I got on in the afternoon? I mean, walking from Subway to library isn't that far also. But...nahh.. this lazy girl decided to stay on and get off at the library since I hv to meet wee chin at 5 to get my watch and bracelet that i left at o'rourke on sunday. Besides, stingy me wants to make my 1.50 worth it, sit in the bus longer. Next, the bus stopped at AUT and then the library(not auck uni library, city library or smth la.. i also dno). So I thought...Yay!! my stop is reaching soon. It will turn off to some st, connect to princes st then to alfred st. Sweet!! Mana tahu it went straight instead, go down Queen, go K'rd. I was like...no!this isn't right.. it's going further and further away from the uni! I looked up and OoO!! There I saw it... all the stops the bus is going to make and the sequence of the stops. Ohmygoondusami!! Ponsonby?? Parnell?? Newmarket? You must be kidding me! Wahlauu...long bus ride!!

After ponsonby, it went thru victoria market then to skycity then to queen st before going to railway and parnell. decided to get off queen and walked all the way back to uni. Coz if I waited for it to stop at symonds again, then it'll be even a longer ride. Go thru newmarket, thru grafton again then only symonds. So yea.... 20 mins walk, uphill somemore. It's the same amount of time i would hv taken if i walked from grafton and the road would hv been flat. Pffttt!!! So unhappy! Wasted 1.50, tortured my ankle (it's very bengkak now).

Moral of the story: When the crowd gets down, u sama-sama ikut and get down too! Don't be such a lazy bum!! Or....be more observant and check the bus routes!

Nvm larr.. it's a lesson learnt. Now I know how to catch the bus and when to get off! Haha!!

Now now, Happy Birthday to my ex-swimming coach, Mr.Ang!!!!!!! (yiwen, help me send my wishes to him ya!)
Woke up this morning, saw the date and realized it's his bday. All the memories from trainings days just rushed back to my head. Realized i do miss all those training sessions eventhough they were such a pain. All the stretchings before training, the scoldings, the cheatings, the fake excuses we make up just to escape sprintings... "mr.ang! tummy ache!".... "mr.ang! i saw lightning! i heard thunder!!"..."mr.ang, need to go toilet!"... Those were the days, I will never forget them. He's taught me a lot. Valuable lessons that I will take along with me and use them in my daily life. Great times....made me smile when I think back..

Happy Happy *inserts age* Birthday!
