Yay i shall start writing more on everyday life. In latest news, today's the last day of Term 1 of Year 1 of IB! Woot! Term 1, has been interesting, and eye-opening to say the least. Finally there are girls in the classroom, which has made us guys in ACS(I) more gentlemanly (i presume) and more happy. My class is awesome and interesting, which is better than what i expected previously (right at the start), so yay. I hope the class outing during the hols will not fail like the last two class outings before it, comon guys, we can organise this right.
In other news, my computer hard disk has crashed. When your windows operating system crashes, its okay, you restart and start over or at most reformat your hard disk. When your hard disk head crashes, you're screwed. O well thanks to all the IT friends that i have that has helped to try save the disk, your efforts are much appreciated.
And... let me add a new section to my blogposts - the "noob thing that Dneo did in the day / noob statement of Dneo of the day". Today, or rather yesterday since it's past 12am, two events happened. Firstly, while eating char kuay teow in the school canteen after school yesterday, a piece of noodle went up from my mouth thru my nasal passage and got stuck at the back of my nose. Try as i might, i couldn't get it out. So i left it there and slept on the bus, next thing i knew, it went away, somewhere, i do not question where it went to. It's not my fault that that happened, so its not really the noob thing that i did yesterday, but rather a noob thing that has happened to me. O wells. That's noobcount #1, starting from 6 March 2008.
Secondly, I got stuck in a bus today. Do not ask why. I will explain. To put it plainly, my school is at Dover Road. My house is at Bedok. Looking at these two locations, you would slowly come to realise that one has to travel a long distance (in a singapore context) EVERY-FREAKING-DAY to and fro the two places. My mode of transport to school is a school bus (yes such stuff still exists even for jc students), while i have a myriad of choices on how to get back home. Ranking them in order of practicality, theres walking (not advised), cycling (also not advised), taxi (no money, i'm not a rich kid), bus-mrt-bus (fastest route, but too much hassle walking about so much), bus / bus-bus (if i overshoot my bus-stop) (second best choice - cheap, and really slack cause it's a direct bus route), and finally.... (insert drum roll here).... hitch a ride home from a niceguy (most practical choice, long distance travelled at no cost at fastest time, what more can i ask for?) Looking at my options, i would attempt to hitch a ride on most occations, but i would mostly fail at that, so i would take the next best choice which is the long long bus ride home. What to do for long bus rides? Last time i watched anime on TV Mobile, but now they stopped showing, and the timing is off anyway (now theres only the gurmit singh civil defence show, which frankly is stupid but quite amusing cause its so stupid). I tried reading books, but slept halfway, so using awesome logic, might as well sleep first. Pre-emptive action i call that.
Yea enough of brief history, now back to what happened today. I slept on the bus. I overshot my stop. It went to the interchange. I forgot to get off. No one woke me up =( Bus driver didn't freaking check if everyone got off. He went to park the bus. He got off the bus. I woke up. Darkness surrounded me (i'm lying, it was just evening and it wasn't that dark). At this point in time, my really really intelligent brain decided that i should attempt to get off the bus. I went down to the lower deck, i found no one. The doors weren't open. I went to the bus driver's seat, and pressed the buttons down there to attempt to open the doors, no response. I freaked out. Then my survival instincts kicked in, I SHOULD BREAK DOWN THE DOORS. I went to both the front and back doors, and attempted to pry them open, that didn't work. Just at that point, i spied with my eyes a secret weapon, the EDC (no not the GDC, the EDC). Now people, what is an EDC? It comes with most (or all) bus doors, and should be the best thing ever invented for bus doors. It's..... the Emergency Door Cock. Yea, so i lifed the black covering, and pressed the little red button. Nothing happened. WTF. I pressed harder, the door opened. FREEDOM AT LAST, i ran out of the prison that was the bus, and got knocked down by a passing bus. No wait that wasn't right, i mean 'and i saw a passing bus'. Yea i was in a bus interchange after all. After that nothing much happened, so this story shall be labeled noobcount #2.
The End. Why the heck does http://www.pc.com.sg/ have music on its website which i have been playing on loop for the past 1 hour?
