Ayiah, Another $6 for Parking at NUS
Ayiah, what to do. I was already one hour late for a meeting with my teammates, but as the saying goes better late than never so I decided to park nearer to COM1 so I have a lesser chance of being knocked over by the NUS shuttle bus or errant drivers while walking up from Yusoff Hall.
OK, you know I’m lying. Truth is that I’m just fat, lazy and wanted to save 5 minutes of my time walking up a dreaded slope. So for that, I’ve paid my “fine” of $6.85.
Prof. Ben told me learning is never easy. I didn’t know he meant my wallet!
So meeting teammates was done over my “official lunchtime” and somehow every time I meet these folks, something interesting comes up. We ended up talking super enthusiastically about a potential gambling app but later found out that it was against Facebook’s policy.
Damn, otherwise we’ll be the next millionaires by the end of this course. Another fat hope dream busted.
Lane One is for Overtaking, not Cruising
Lane 1 on the expressway is called the overtaking lane, not the cruising lane. If you wanna roll your way home at 80kph like a loser, lane 2 is all yours.
I commute to work daily from Bt. Batok to Tampines. On good days, I get to Tampines in roughly 20 minutes. On fucked up days such as 7am yesterday morning, I could be sitting for an hour in the traffic. It’s only 7am and there’s traffic that slows to a crawl at Paya Lebar! Thanks to OPC owners!
I’ve been at work the entire night, and god save me, I met not one, but three selfish losers who refuse to give way. Coincidentally they were all driving big cars (e.g. Toyota Camry, Merc E class, BMW 7 series) and two of them were… you guessed it – ladies.
