Bad morning but I got New Snowball!

This morning there was a train disruption again! I was happily sleeping on the train then when the train stalled at Yew Tee. I opened my eyes to check my surrounding and heard the PA system informing passengers to alight the train and go via the train towards Marina Bay to reach our destination. Erhhhh.... I work at Buona vista & I was already at Yew Tee then yet I need to take towards Marina bay again??!!

Not willing to do that, I decided to try out my luck by taking the one & only bus outside Yew Tee MRT which brought me to CCK, in hope thatbe some there'll be some buses there which will bring me to Buona vista or at least somewhere near my work place. Went over to CCK MRT to check on the situation 1st, and I realised that an accident had occurred at CCK. So many policemen & paramedics around then. The MRT station was just as chaotic as Yew Tee and I'm just like a fugitive trying to get out of the place. Only other way out was to board a bus from CCK interchange to get out of the place. Well, sadly, only one bus was available and it would bring me to Jurong East. But queue for the bus was super duper long. Two fully-packed buses left & I was still nowhere near the front of the queue. After waiting for a good half hour or so, we were informed that the train service had resumed. So happy then!!! FINALLY!!!

But again, there was some miscommunication. I managed to board a train but due to some miscommunication, we were made to alight from the train then again told that the same train could be boarded again. There I saw a very ungentleman-ly guy who dashed for the seat & squeezed a lady out of the seat. Singaporean guys! Sigh....

Finally finally!! I managed to reach my office just before 10am. I was dead tired by then.
Just then, I spotted a box containing a mini snowball on my desk. Addressed to 'Gou Gou', which is me. I was totally delighted! Hee hee.... the snowball even comes with a melody of "You are my sunshine" when you press the base of it. Like it so much! Really thank Jo for it. I guess she knew of my previously broken snowball so bought another one for me. So nice of her!!!

Here it is, Da Dang!!!



**Update**
Later, I heard that it was a suspected suicide at CCK MRT & the 40+ years old man died in the accident. Sigh...I really wonder why lately there's so many cases of suicide on MRT platform? probably it's the easiest & faster way of suicide. But It's definitely the most painful & disgusting way to die. I saw pics of it before it really looked gruesome. Furthermore, it caused so my disruption to people's life & probably gonna be hated & cursed by some of them. Don't you agree with me?

Bad Day...

Today is a lousy day, bad start of the week. Well, it didn't start off with a lousy day. But it just turned bad towards the end of the work day. It's still the same old people who have got on my nerves. I just can't stand how selfish some people are. For a 8hr slot daily that's available for booking, a good 6 hrs of it has been taken up by 2 of them who belonged to the same team, leaving just 2 hrs of lunch time for others to use it. Ok, well, we do have another similar instrument but it's problematic & just broke down today. For me, it's not an issue to sacrifice my lunch hour for the use of the instrument. But still, I or rather we felt that it was very unfair that people from the same team are bugging the system for the entire day & others are not given a chance to use it. Basically all those queued behind me could not have a slot to use the instrument & have to maybe risk their stuff on the problematic one (Well, think I'm still considered quite kiasu compared to them! Haha....) What's more is that a very kiasu environment has been created in the lab all because of them! In order to book the instrument for next day's use, we are only allowed to do so after 5pm. But the Kiasu them are always sitting & hanging around the 'booking book' way before 5pm and we are never their opponent. Yah, cos we have so much things to do in lab, I think it's a complete waste of time to sit infront of the 'booking book' at like 4.30pm & wait for that half an hour to pass. Really crazy!!

So when I saw that a 6-hr slot was "gone", I tried to reason out nicely with A, but he refused to give way, saying that they need the 6 hrs. I think B saw that I wasn't very happy & after a discussion with A, he gave up 3 hrs of his slot. Nay, not that I'm going to take up his 3 hr slot, ok? I went around to check if anyone else needs the slot and gave it to him. Yes, at least now 4 persons can use the instrument tomorrow instead of 3 & I'm sticking to my slot during lunch hour. Just wish that these people will be more understanding & less selfish to make it a better place for us to work in. I'm not trying to vent my anger or what to anyone with regards to this matter. I just want some fairness in the matter. I'm glad that I got it already. :)
