20070412today was a BAD day
the week has been okay overall
work wasnt that bad
when i went to work on mon i saw a big tent set up outside the office
for once i thought wth is happening
later i found out its an event
for the opening of CUGE
Center for
Urban
Greenery and
Ecology
which the opening event was TODAY
yesterday before i knocked off my colleague reminded me to come early
because my bus 48 have been coming late these few days
so i kinda reach office at 835-840 these days
WHY GO TO WORK EARLY?
because the ministers would be coming to witness that event
you know all the preparation for the event started since last weekend
they added more pots and flowers around
until it really SEEMS as though i was working in a jungle
i couldnt really see the road upfront from the counter
they even added 2 plasma screens just for the event can
was excited when there was plasma screens
but after seeing what they broadcasted
lectures on greenery and all
SLAPS SLAPS
i would have preferred if ugly betty/ANTM/mygirl/my lovely kim sam soon or any other nice shows that was aired
and my old auntie couldnt sit at the counter because they want the IMAGE
i wasnt fit enought to sit at the counter because they want the BRAINS too
you see. you would be shaking hands with the ministers
it would be an honourable moment for me if i got to do so
but ohwells
i decided that after this morning incident
i rather i don't see the ministers
so my plan was to go EARLY for work
so instead of taking 48
i decided that i should take 36 and den take the shuttle bus to the garden so that i can arrive right on the spot at 830
i even went to the bus stop early so that i can take an early 36
WHO KNOWS HOW UNLUCKY I CAN GET
i boarded 36 at 740
under normal conditions i would reach the orchard bus stop at 805 or 810
but guess what
THERE WAS A TRAFFIC JAM AT MARINE PARADE
OH WOW
i've lived here for quite some time and seldom traffic jam at the marine parade to katong area in the MORNING somemore can
wth
so jam for super long
like about 8 i'm still at katong area
SLAPS alr
ok. there was a jam because there was a car accident which blocked the road and blah blah
so i was panicking while sitting in the bus
super afraid i cannot catch the 815 shuttle
and i was thinking if cannot catch i die because i have 6 bucks with me
HOW TO TAKE TAXI with morning surcharge and all?!?!?
when my bus was reaching the orchard bus stop
i saw the Nparks shuttle bus
i prayed hard the other pple slowly get onto the bus so i can chiong in time
and guess what
when my bus is going to stop at the bus stop
the Nparks shuttle simply flew off RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES
and i was left there speechless and of course, ANGRY at that stupid event
bo bian alr right
so i started to search for the nearest ATM machine
which i found it inside Wisma Atria
where people gave me the "what is she doing look" when i walked into the deserted Wisma
i was half running somemore
finally withdrew money and walk to flag cab
AND I TELL YOU
stupid aunties keep having those advantageous positions where they succesffully flag a cab
i gave up so i copy one auntie
when she boarded the cab
i stand at her position and YAY! a cab
to prevent myself from being cheated by the taxi driver because he might take a big detour that will not only cost me my money and of course my TIME
i directed the taxi driver to the office
the trip costed me 6 bucks
1 hour of pay
when i got off the cab
i started brisk walking to the office because it was 835 alr
like wth
den some park ranger called me and ask me no need run so fast
because the bloody event starts at 9
LIKE WTH WTH WTH
i wasted my money for nothing
ANGRY
ANGRY
ANGRY
and that wasnt the end
i think because of the event they connected the cables to kope our office power supply
so in the morning we experienced blackout
like wth
first the lights went off
den one of my colleague say faster save ur work
wait later com also go off
didnt heed his advice
so later the com power supply tripped off too
so my work which was unsaved was lost
lucky its not a lot that i did
so we worked in the dark
and the lights will suddenly turn on den go off again
i tink that lasted for 15mins
which was fugly
well. the minister only stepped to the counter at around 12
which i could clearly hear the market crowd from my office
i was thinking of koping free food from the event
but my colleagues didnt want to go there UNINVITED
so we went to the NUS canteen to eat
and it rained and we didnt have umbrella
so we walked in the rain back
waited till it was drizzling before we walked back la
so my conclusion
i do not support minister pay rise!
argh
want also increase my pay first can!
slap slap
