Yeahs!!!

Isn't it amazing that you get to see many things happening on the train everyday? For the past year, I’ve been taking the train to work daily and I never fail to feast my eyes on some drama. I’ve come up with a list of situations that irritates, disgust and funny to me.

Disclaimer: no animal was harmed, tested or killed

1. People who listen to their music so loud that even with your music on, you can still hear theirs! What up with that....
   
2. People who scratch their head and "snowflakes are falling on my shoulder" (hum to the tune of rain drops are falling on my head) yikes...
   
3. People who look over your shoulders to share the newspaper or magazine you are reading
   
4. Clipping their nails.
   
5. Digging their nose and then putting into their mouth. ewwwww.... no lah, they rub it off under the seat.
   
6. People who rush in from the interchange and sit heavily beside you. You can literally feel the earth shake.
   
7. Middle-aged auntie, with her butt facing you suddenly reached behind her and starts pulling her under pants because it ran up her arse. Why would anyone wanna do that in public? Would you? If you happen to see me on the train while you're pulling your under pants, pls don't call me. At that point of time, i am not your friend. If you call my mobile after I’ve alighted at the next stop I will respond to you.
   
8. People who doesn't give up their seats to pregnant ladies.
   
9. Kids running around the train, treating it like a playground.
   
10. People yawning without closing their mouth and as they yawn, it will be accompanied by the yawning sound. Not forgetting their morning breath. pppphew... stinko
    
11. People who like you so much that they choose not to shower, wanting to share their morning scent with you. How considerate of them.
    
12. People who choose not to move to the center
    
13. Seeing old ladies running into the train to "chope" seat when in fact they need assistance from a walking stick.
    

All these incidents are not made up. It happened there and then while I was minding my own business.

Just last week, I’ve received 1 of my marked assignment out of 2 that I’ve submitted over a span of 2 weeks. Well, I was kind of worried and excited at the same time. Thank God! I had received 25 out of 30 marks. I’m totally ecstatic. After calculating, its actually an A grade. I’m really pumped. After a 4 years hiatus from studies, I’m back to comparing grades and stuff. I remember on that night when I received my assignment from my Print Media lecturer, another classmate was with me. When my lecturer was looking at her marks I can’t help but peeped at it. I kept on asking: “how much you get, how much you get” we were like primary school kids. (She’s got 26 marks but her assignment has 20++ pages while mine has 7 pages) he also mentioned something that really gave me the confidence to do my best. He said that the class averaged around 20 marks for this assignment and we generally wrote better than the last few batches. So getting 25 marks was a great morale booster for me.

Today i got back my last assignment and guess what, i've got an A!!!! Thank God for His wonderful blessing and grace. its 2 for 2!! HAHAHAHA!!! i feel great. for the first time in my life i really felt i've managed to accomplished something academically. i've never gotten an A for any of my projects. even in poly, my grades averaged around Cs and Ds. i really feel that i was meant to do this field of studies. now its to mug for exams. its been a while. but i'm gonna do it.

So far school has been nice. I can really picture myself doing journalism but I realize that if you want to pursue this path, mentally and physically you have to be strong. Recently there has been TV programs that showcases the crimes Singaporeans committed. Many of them were rape cases and murder. It was pretty disturbing. Mentally I don’t know whether I can take that kind of pressure. Furthermore, as a reporter you need to visit the court and mortuary to get your story. Anyway its still early for me to decide what I wanna do. Lets hope that I can set my mind on something as I go along.

For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been feeling discouraged because of certain things. But when you choose to allow God to ease your pain away. Just this morning I was feeling down but then the Holy Spirit prompted me to listen to some worship songs from my player. My spirit was indeed lifted up almost immediately. God has given me peace and comfort.

I’ll be auditioning for mirza’s band after my exams. I’m so happy. Really missed performing. Hopefully I would be able to get in. he’s been kind to me. He actually declined my audition and invited me to join him. But there’s no vacancy for a frontman cos its been taken up by maryam. Btw she has a nice voice. Anyway I’ll be “auditioning” for a back up vocal position. It will be fun. who knows, i might be frontman no 2. thanks mir.

can't wait for the progress package money to come in. i could use some money. i'll be using it to buy a pocket pc cos i really need it. its gonna help me when i need to jot down some inspirations or quotes and words from books and other sources. if anyone of you have any lobang ps tell me.

till next time.
