Chapter 353: A whole new world

What have the world gotten into? Within 2 days, I have met 2 mentally unsound people in 2 different buses (1 each).. and those are the only 2 buses I took within these 2 days... Quite unlucky I have to say.

Friday: A public holiday. Went to take MRT to Serangoon station with sis and mum. Then we had a task at hand: To find a bus stop with bus 100. We looked around, found 2 bus stops, both without the bus 100 ... So, we gave up and decided to head to the interchange to take it.. And now, the interchange is empty, it looks demolished.. what?! Luckily, my sis is there to tell us that it might be inside NEX now... and she was right.

We took bus 100 all the way to Opposite Golden Mile Food Centre... only to find it under renovation till 23 Nov -.- What a wasted trip it must be... Nevertheless, we had the never-give-up spirit. We tried to scour around for any tailor services... We found one that says "sew rank", but they dont sew rank. I highly doubt if the person understands the sign he put up. Anyways, he referred us to a shop at block 15, which is behind the post office. Time to treasure hunt for it.

So we navigated and located that place. True enough, tailor services provided. So I gave him my 2 sets of no. 3 uniforms and ranks to sew. We then left to eat lunch at KFC nearby. After around 40 mins, we went back and collected the uniforms with the rank sewed on them. We then left for home taking the same bus. (How you go back is the opposite of how you came.)

In a lift. We pressed the button for 1st floor.
A neighbour asked my mum: 出去啊?
My mum answered yes, while my mind answered: 不是, 回家.
She continued: 两个孩子啊? (pointing to my sis and I)
My mum answered yes again, my mind answered: 不是, 三个.

After ordering food from a stall,
Vendor: 吃的啊?
My mum answered yes, while my mind answered: 不是, 喝的.

Q: When will one see light at the end of the tunnel?

Myths suggest that it is hope after a horrendous and difficult time.

But the truth says that a train is approaching, now run for your lives!

Saturday: Went for my first ever driving lesson (practical). Starting, there was alot of theory.. but after that, I got to try out the controls and devices of the car. The instructor told me a few stories, funny ones.

There was this random student who hopped into my instructor's car last time, to avoid a rain. That student was about to have a driving test soon (at that time). BUT he/she didnt know how to switch on the wipers ... It must have been many smooth-sailing practical lessons that didn't rain for him/her.

Tried moving forwards and backwards in a straight line.

Then moved round and round and round around the circuit. Tried changing gears from 1 to 2, vice versa, moving off and stopping. Stalled the engine thrice. Nevertheless, a good experience and a good 2 lessons. Feels funny to drive, weird to hold the wheel. haha.

Soon, it was all over. The next practical lessons are situated next Saturday. Hope its smooth-sailing as well.

Currently trying to learn (memorise) the lyrics of "Payphone" by Maroon 5. Maybe I will give the rap part a miss haha.
