chiong outta the house at 5.45pm. 238-ed to hub. in the bus was super crowded and squeezy. a man scolded the bus captain for opening the door to let passengers up when the bus is already so crammed. an old woman was complaining to the bus captain that he open/close the door very dangerous or whatever, that a boy standing there was dangerous (smth liddat) while he just simply ignored. i really look up to the bus captain la. is he to blame when the bus is squeezy? he is in fact helping the passengers at the bus-stop to get to board the bus and therefore be in time for whatever they need to be in time for. is that so wrong? moreover, the passengers already onboard should move to the back a little because that is just plain consideration and respect. it all comes back to "do not do to others what you dont want them to do to you". imagine if you are the passengers at the bus-stop, would you be disappointed if the bus have no space to allow you up? what will happen if you have to wait for the next bus to arrive? by that time, will you still be punctual for your, example, meeting? put yourself in the shoes of those waiting willfully to board the bus, and you will see that moving in a little, squeezing a little, tolerating the breath/body odour of the person next to you, are all worth it. about the door opening and closing, can the captain do anything about it? it is already very crammed so some people may have to stand on the steps; it is natural that the door may hit people. moreover, the bus is so full that the captain cannot get a view of whoever is standing at the steps and make sure he carefully opens/closes the door properly. sometimes people gotta be less of a whiner and be more understanding. the people who are standing at the steps know fully that the choices they have are either standing at the steps or not boarding the bus. if they board the bus, they know that such crap will happen and if they keep quiet about it, what more you, old woman? and the small boy, although i dont see no small boy, why arent there any adults with him, to supervise him? if there are, the boy wouldnt be in much danger. if there aren't, is that of the captain's concern that the boy doesnt want to hold tight and avoid dangerous spots like a metal pole, an uneven platform? what can the captain do? if he brings his attention to the safety of the boy, the other 40 or so passengers' lives would be in great danger as the captain does not watch the road. even the guy i was sitting with was bit pissed with the old woman. look woman, if you could do a better job as a bus captain, drive. if you cannot, just shut up and get over it. to the bus captain: i know you are doing your job and if i were you, i would have scolded the old woman upside-down (plus some vulgarities) and demanded her to get down the bus. you were understanding and considerate to ask those onboard to move to the back of the vehicle so that more can board. thank you. :D weird shits happen sometimes.. OH! back to where i was (LOL), i reached tpy mrt station at 6:07pm. waited a good 18 minutes for janice. when she called from the train, i 手忙脚乱得跑进地铁里. she was surprised that i'm early and i said that is she late. i actually mistaken the meeting time to be 6.10pm. dumb me. we trained to bedok and bus-ed to wenhui's house. it was dark and cold. we spotted daphanie and ivan at the void deck and we joined them. daph fed me parsley, EWEWEW! i asked daph about poly stuffs. the rest came down and we joined them. not long, we went up to wenhui's apartment. i toilet-d and then settled down to talk to joy and kimberly about what combo to go. their advices = precious! kimberly is super smart! her overall percentage is A2! she got 3 As for her results! i must use her as a benchmark! cgm started with testimonies. ivan's and davin's testimonies are damn funny de lor. chio ka peng siol! wenhui preached on psalm 34:1 (n341 LOL) before p&w. yay i like! awaken my soul & god of my forever. today's sermon's bout blessings of senanthood (servanthood). a servant find fulfilment in obeying God, costly sacrifices, pointing people to Christ and God's promise to reward them. i want to serve Him with humility. offering time. kangwei asked us to turn to psalm (again) 11:2 (n112, affliated cg LOL)! i gave $1.50. cgm ended and we watched the cg video wishing cgl a happy birthday. 17-ed to bedok inter with kimberly, janice and joy. 28-ed with joy. in the bus, we talked about band, the cell, many stuffs. i like this kind of talks. (: she accompanied me to wait for 238, which surprisingly took quite a while to arrive. haha thanks!
i have decided to take combo 3. i realised that amaths is more 有保障 if you still dunno what course you want to take in poly. if you want to take accountings, poa can be learnt in poly. moreover, amaths is easy if you understand, practice and apply the formula. thanks wenhui, daphanie, joy, kimberly and janice for your advices!
