[161007] what a waste of a day

The weekend was a bummer, didnt get to enjoy it but spent the weekend working then rushing to book in, sleeping for 4 hours before waking up in the dead of the morning to do sai kang all the way in changi, came back to camp went home slept for 2 hours before booking in again to carry out my CDI duties.

Sunday night booking in pissed me off real bad, Yeo and me decided to take a cab down to camp from CCK so we proceeded to try and flag a cab down, which we managed to do only after 40 minutes. Singapore has over 22,000 cabs and we managed to flag one down only after 40 minutes, who wouldnt be pissed? Through this event however, i've discovered new sections of murphy's law.

Murphy's Law governing flagging of cabs
1) The opposite side of the road from where you're waiting for a cab will always have more available cabs driving past.
2) Empty cabs would suddenly be on call as they're driving towards where you're standing even though you've been frantically waving at them from the moment they turned onto the street you're waiting at.
3) When you decide to cross the road to try and flag a cab, the side of the street that you were already on would have empty cabs driving past.

Yeo thinks that the uncles who drives the taxis all congregate somewhere at certain times of the day especially during peak hours just to piss the commuters off. I however think that we just need more cabs on the road. It's ridiculous hearing about taxi drivers complaining about how hard it is to pick up passengers when i keep on seeing people waiting for inhumane amounts of time before they can get a cab.

So today was my off day, compensation for having to do the sai kang on sunday... wanted to sleep in late but body refused to obey and i dragged myself out of bed at 0700hrs, surfed the net abit before i quickly grew bored... paged a couple of guys but all were busy or at sch... what to do?

Headed down to cineleisure, caught the 10:45 Resident Evil:Extinction, finished the show, went straight back to the ticketing counter and bought the tix for the 12:30 Alpha Dog. Finished at ard 1430 thought of catching the 17:00 I now pronounce you chuck and larry but too tired and hungry... wandered around before stopping at Fish N Co. @ Paragon for lunch. Tried something other than the seafood platter or fish n chips. Had the Prawn Fettucini pasta in chilli sauce with clam chowder. Wasnt too bad but the clam chowder from marche is way way better, i think even the clam chowder from long john's tasted better... the pasta was nice but i dont think the prawns were very fresh.. the prawns werent exactly very firm.. kinnda squishy... caught the train back and concussed all the way til yishun... that was my day... kinnda boring... what a day to waste my off day on...

Celine Dion with Bee Gees - Immortality

So this is who I am,
And this is all I know,
And I must choose to live,
For all that I can give,
The spark that makes the power grow
And I will stand for my dream if I can,
Symbol of my faith in who I am,
But you are my only,
And I must follow on the road that lies ahead,
And I won't let my heart control my head,
But you are my only
We don't say goodbye,
We don't say goodbye,
And I know what I've got to be

Immor-tality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me inside

Fulfil your destiny,
Is there within the child,
My storm will never end,
My fate is on the wind,
The king of hearts, the joker's wild,
We don't say goodbye,
We don't say goodbye,
I'll make them all remember me

Cos I have found a dream that must come true,
Every ounce of me must see it through,
But you are my only
I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play,
Hand over my heart I'll find my way,
I will make them give to me

Immor-tality (oh baby)
There is a vision and a fire in me (ohh)
I keep the memory of you and me, inside
We don't say goodbye
We don't say goodbye
With all my love for you
And what else we may do
We don't say, goodbye
