Mixed emotions
Posted at 12:28.29 and filed under Ushering, Two Wheels, MusingsWell exams are finally over, and what can i say.. i think i can FFG (read: file for graduation) next semester.. Not that the exams went badly or wat, but i think it wun be sufficient to push my cap over to 3.5, no regrets though… i have more things to worry about this holidays..
Exams ended on tues, and i have been worked tues wed nites @ esplanade..n last nite @ ucc… tonite would be ucc..sat would be esplanade.. talk about hectic hectic.. yest wasnt so bad as i managed to join some of the nus riders for kulai makan trip.. Forgot to take my camera along, just as well, if not u ppl would complain that i never jio u ppl go eat 月光宝河, 一虾二味 and drink honeydew sago from a mug that’s as tall as 2 beer mugs stacked up.. i kid u not.. I miss eating @ home, seriously..even though i have to wash the dishes… the next time i can eat @ home, could be tml lunch or sun dinner…yay! looking fwd to it..
I’m seriously not working enuff this mth… with a confirmed trip to penang from 12-18 dec with my pa n sis..part holiday part visit relatives.. this mth only 2 ucc events..1st/2nd dec… oops make it 3.. if i’m doing on new yr’s eve…more ushers mean less work…abit 僧多粥少.. we obviously cannot have the extreme model of recruiting so many ushers that they have to pia fastest fingers 1st to get events, but then i seriously think we are moving towards it.. Of cos this is good for the venue, cos it would be sure to fill up all avail slots most of the time.. n having ppl who dun get to work as often, you create a heightened desire to work…like tasting forbidden fruit..so yes.. that solves ur manpower problems..u can have as many ushers as u want for a low fixed cost..activate a fixed number to work each time as part of ur variable cost…n rest of the inactive ushers u dun need to pay or maintain them… win n win n win n win for venue
I scrapped am scrapping my bike..was riding it last sun otw to sch.. out of carpark i could detect a slight “psst psst” sound..n the engine finally gave way outside KAP… managed to get a tow truck to pick it up.. n took bus to school.. initial diagnosis wasn’t good…total compression loss..estimated costs was 900 bucks.. shit liaoz lah… later another call.. this chain called the cam chain that costs a few bucks snapped. Now to check if this chain is flawed or not, u have to drain engine oil..open up engine… check chain..replace engine cover.. change new oil..for about 200 bucks..so most ppl wun open up engine just to check this part… well the chain broke, like tio4 beh2 pio1… n some of the links went on a grand tour of my pistons..大闹天宫 basically..estimated repair costs was $4000… no joke i tell u
So now i’m taking buses, already made the long term investment of buyign bus concession.. still tryign to get used to the fact that now i take nearly 45mins to get home from sch, (of which 30 mins consist of waiting for 151) when i used to take max 20 mins.. I’m starting to remember to leave house earlier, or in more extreme cases refuse to go out cos simply too lazy w/o bike… i’ve already successfully caught a last bus outside espl..
What really made my day was the fact that i noe that i have great pals who are there to support me.. i had no choice but to approach guoyong, seng, carlin, zhenfeng and teck for loans, n thanks for agreeing so readily.. Even though eventually i only loaned from guoyong, i really appreciate u ppl’s support.. n to the rest for listening to me complain about taking bus..thanks too…kopi’s STILL on..if i get my sorry ass out of my house
