"Courtesy doesn't pay!"

Another one of those stupid,
"What did I do today?" rants.

I really wish that I can wake up earlier,
But somehow I can only open my eyes at 3pm,
Without fail everyday.

So there was no time,
To take a leisurely trip on the MRT to SGH.
I must ride!
God knows what time the Business Office closes.

Pssssst.
Let me tell you a secret.
I've never rode in a tunnel before.
Yeah, what a complete suaku.
But that's because I only knew how to go to places,
That are located along the ECP or the AYE.

But I'm improving now alright.

So I was at the Business Office,
Applying for a medical report,
Because NUS demands one.
Unfortunately, I didn't bump into any of the nurses,
Anyway, I was in such a rush,
There was no time for fooling around.

Ha.
The report is a rip-off at $77,
And it'll take 3 to 4 weeks to be processed.
By then, the exams would be over.

Chey.

So at 4.50pm, I decided to fly down to NUS,
To talk to the people handling the matters.

I thought the Dean's Office closes at 5pm.
At least it used to, I think.
Or 5.30pm?
Well, thanks to the fact,
That they're adopting the 5-day work week everywhere,
It now closes at 6pm.

Met up with the woman who wanted to see me,
And it was the same old pep talk all over again,
Telling me not to give up on my studies.
Oh dear.

Although there's a distinct sense of loss I feel,
When I talk about giving up on honours,
I also know that it's tough to concentrate,
When everyone from my batch is already earning big bucks.
Plus my dad is reluctant to pay for my school fees.
(That's a total turn-off to continuing)

Decisions, decisions.

Anyway, I have to wait and see,
What the Vice-Dean says after the woman fills her in.

After getting all that out of the way,
I decided to drop by Queensway,
Because they're releasing the Reese Forbes Dunk today,
At Limited Edt.

Man,
You guys should've seen the queue.
Didn't know there were so many sneakerheads in S'pore.
(Or rather, resellers looking to make a quick buck on eBay)

By the way, the queue was so freaking long,
I couldn't be bothered to hang around,
And check out the shoes.
Afterall, I had no intention of buying.

Heh.

I used to make some dumb jokes about trucker hats,
But I just bought one today,
As you can see in the picture on the right.

Well, let me explain myself first.
I'm trying to grow my hair,
So I need something to cover the wild growth now.
Secondly,
It's a perfect match with my new Tweed Dunks!

Actually, it doesn't match that well lah.

To be honest,
I'm now wondering if I'll ever wear the hat out.
I got no balls (and not much time left on my side),
To be a teenage wannabe poseur.

Something happened that pissed me off on the way home.
There was a massive jam on the ECP,
Nothing new really,
But a bit surprising at 7.30pm though.
So I was riding between the lines of cars,
When this dumb taxi suddenly decided to change lanes,
With no signal and all.

Decided to give the arsehole a taste of my horn.

Except that my horn decided to take an offday today.

Hell.
Had to e-brake or run the risk of kissing the taxi's backside.

Well.
I remember taking a new year resolution,
About how I'll try to limit my use of the horn,
In order to be a more courteous rider.

Bah.

The lack of use probably caused the button to be stuck.
Now I've to go back to the bike shop again.
