Yesterday was a heart-breaking day as again, my stupidity has bummed myself into a dead end. You know about the Chinese saying that says the desperate dog will jump over the wall. In my case it's 猪急撞墙. Since I mentioned I'm stupid, banging the wall doesn't seem too good an option, isn't it? However, jumping over the wall (like Buddha does) isn't a great idea all the time. One day the stupid pig will demolish the wall!

Interestingly, I'm writing this on my bed. The thing is that while feeling sad, I always have pretty nice dreams. Probably a self-defence mechanism? Too bad when you come back to reality, it's just a fleeting experience, though I still think it helped.

The first dream was about some guy in my secondary school which I had a crush on. This is pretty normal in same-sex schools! So don't be alarmed. He was carrying a baby (is he married already? i only know he's gonna be a doctor or bio-researcher soon) and had problems changing the baby's nappy. Haha. It's fun to meet an old classmate.

The second dream I had began with the lesson ending in a school that is both a temple built on it, and a residence corner/community centre combined. My classmates were girls and only girls. Girls whom I do not know at all, and some girls from SMU like Elise and Eileen etc. After leaving the classroom to explore the surrounding areas (which bore a little semblance to Khatib Vista), Eileen asked where is this place called "Xi Kong Mi Keng". Obviously this doesn't make any sense whichever dialect you use. But the other PRETTY girls came and helped to direct her to the place, and so I pointed in the direction she should go and off she went, leaving me with a bunch of nice girls.... which was gone once my friend from Canada, SY, texted me. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Regarding the bus issue on Tuesday, I just wanna say that the top-up machines that the elderly finds difficulty in using, should be simplified into a touch and slot-your-cash in system. I find the current one too troublesome, too sosphicated. We should had kept the old one (remember the $0.60, $0.70 square white buttons?) but changed the label to $5.00, $10.00 so that the old people can see them easily. Not all elders can see computer screen clearly. Because they couldn't use these new machines, to top up their ez-link, they had to queue up at the ticketing office. Now in some places, the ticketing office is also a card replacement centre, where each card replacement transaction could take 10minutes to complete. If you have a bunch of kids waiting, and only 1 counter opened, the legion of aunties, uncles, ah-mas and ah-kongs will start to nag and blast the counter. After all, each top up transaction would take 10secs at most. Hence if one of you, my dear readers, become a Transport Minister or something similar, please, please, please, spare a thought for the old people in the pursuit of profits, profits and profits.

Finally, may all the loving couples remain loving...so that the world can be happier..
