Taxi Drivers

I have had issues with some taxi drivers today, when I went to meet my mom.


Firstly I was carrying a heavy sack of books for my brother as well, and then I had to take a pillow and bolster from my aunt's place.

So I was thinking of taking a taxi.


I was waiting at the so-called taxi stand at outside TPY Interchange.


There was nobody, there was no taxi.

And then from the direction when the taxi came,
Some bitch-ass people flagged down taxis from there before they could reach my place, so no taxis came.

Next I was thinking, "Oh, so let's flag from there. Nobody is here anyway."
Ok, so I went to where those bitch-ass people got their taxis by cutting their queue.


One taxi came, I flagged, and he goddamn pointed to the taxi stand where I was!
"....."
Okay, so maybe this driver was just following normal routine.
Another taxi came, I flagged again.
And damn it, he just brushed past me, allowing people from the taxi stand to board!



DAMN! What's wrong with you taxi-drivers!!!!!!!
When I waited, some of you allowed bitch-ass passengers to illegally take my queue.
When I tried to do the same, you guys only went to the taxi stand.
What the hell?!?!


With heavy loads on both my hands and perspiration soaking my body and face,
I was sure people were all staring at me.
But who gave a damn? I just wanted to get a taxi ASAP, damn it!


After a few minutes of waiting [back to the taxi stand again],
I finally got a taxi.
Fortunately, I got a friendly, and outgoing driver.
Fun trip, though short.

On the way home, another taxi driver was again very kind.
Gave me a discounted price, and again was polite.


Countless drivers, countless attitudes, countless mindsets.


What an evening with taxi drivers!

You don't have to be good at it, right?

My eyes were opened while talking to Liaowei a few days ago.


I realised since last year that basketball is really a sport that I love to do.
So much that I sometimes neglected my homework for the sake of 2 hours session of adrenaline.

Reasons why I really enjoy playing basketball:
1). Temporary but significant relief of my mental and emotional problems.
2). It excites me, gives me pleasure, and makes my day.
3). Good session for me and my bros to get along better and better too. Maybe this is why I always play basketball if one of them play too ==


And then I was into the school team this year, in my last year of secondary.
Though during that period of competition [early of this year] I was still quite lacking in skills,
I can see that my abilities really improve afterwards.

That effectively boosts my confidence in trying to get into the school team in JC next year.

However,

Me: I'll try get into a school basketball team in JC. You surely wanna try oso right?
Liaowei[Lw]: Yeah lah. But you see, Hwa Chong the basketball so pro. If I cannot maybe I wanna try tennis. Haha.
Me: Oh.. If I can't go in basketball I dont know which should I take already. Maybe don't take CCA.
Lw: For what? We can still play basketball outside. We're not destined to be playing in NBA. Our life is better in academic than basketball. Why sacrifice so much?
Me: *wondering in silence agreement*


OMG. What he said was like completely TRUE
I've been blinded by the thing I love so much that I fail to see the importance of other things in my life.

Family;
Brothers;
Studies;
My childhood-till-now dream - Doctor;
Love [maybe?];


There should be more, I suppose.


Anyway, basketball will continue to be a part of my life.
I'll keep playing,
It'll continue to be my favourite pastime,
I'll continue respecting the "king of basketball", Michael Jordan aka Air Jordan 23,
And I'll continue respecting my role-model, Steve Nash, with his number 13.



Though I'll never be good at it.




Still, that's not gonna stop me from going through a self-made hardcore training programme to prepare myself for JC next year xD

The Morning Aroma.

Ahhhhhhhhh...it's good to have this type of morning every day.
I opened my eyes on my bed, realised my roommate was gone. Felt like the room belonged to one only me. The Air-conditioner still On, which was good 'cause normally the maid would have turned it off by 9am.


Murmuring prayer to of thanks to the Divine One, I rolled around my bed for a while, immersing myself in my comfy bed for somemore. Haha.
Then inhaled another large amount of air and got out of bed.
Turned on my laptop, and here I am now.




Life is good.
=D


Got a supply of my long-lost desire, finally.

Alrighteyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, O Level is 1-week left and all the HEAVY subjects have been gone.
So I'll let what will happen, happens. God's hands on the Examiner's pens xD




Anyway, decided to play basketball tmr morning but ended up playing today with Yichao.
Nothing much, just trained my passing and lay-up.
But it's the addiction that's unbearable,
The way the ball swished through the net, the feeling when I lay my ball into the net, the way my body moved with a beat during my crossovers,
All pumped adrenaline through my veins, and that was one of the nicest feeling I've ever felt.



After so long, basketball again.
So now I'm basically 110% drained.
A hot bowl of instant noodle soup totally perfected my evening.
I'm full, I'm happily-filled.
My body groaned for sleep,
My eyes threatened to close anytime soon,
and my limbs longed for a good, comfy bed.
Soon, my body, soon xD



If this is how I'm feeling with still few exams remaining,
I can't imagine how relaxing would it be with O Level totally over.





NOT OVER YET, Vin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PERSEVERE!

Update, update.

Hello, it's been long!



I was taking a break during my mugging session, and was appalled at how bugged my blogskin had become.
Hence the urgent decision to hunt down a new skin.


Found another basketball theme. Not bad huh, except that the letters are a bit...err..girly?



Anyway, O level's not been consistent. Some are good, some are unexpectedly good, while some are sickening and some are unsure.
So, tmr's Biology. I gotta score. Yeah.


And I noticed DNA didnt come out last year. Damn, my worst topic in Bio.
But nevermind that, I'll drive them back.
*I hope so*




Ok, peepz, I'm back to my mugging session, and gotta rest for another week of Battle of O Level. xD





Oh, and for those of u taking this exam as well, I'll wish all the best!
