"Stay away because I bite."

I was supposed to wake up at 10am today,
For my follow-up visit,
But I had problems falling asleep last night,
And so I reached SGH at 12.30pm,
Half an hour late and completely sleep-deprived.

Riding along that dusty and congested stretch of road,
Otherwise known as the CTE,
Didn't help improve my mood either.
I'm just so glad I don't live in Ang Mo Kio,
Or any other area along that expressway,
Cos I'll go mad if I have to go home using the CTE everyday.

But I love riding in the tunnel.
Maybe someday all roads will be built underground,
And I'll never have to worry about the rain again.

And maybe they can have air-con inside the tunnels too,
Cos the ventilation sucks.

Yah, yah, dream on lah.

I was so grumpy today,
I snapped at this damn auntie who tried to jump queue.
Since the waiting time is approximately 2 hours,
I went to grab a bite before I die of hunger.
Then this auntie suddenly appeared from nowhere,
And conveniently floated into the space in front of me.

I was thinking,
'Damn I'll dare her to order before me.'
And she really did.

"EH AUNTIE U BETTER QUEUE UP OKAY."

"What, I was here first!"

Words didn't work on her,
But glaring and growling certainly did,
And she went to the back of the queue reluctantly.

I don't know why,
But I feel a little bad now.

Which is strange,
Cos I always give queue-jumpers a piece of my mind.

Maybe it's just depression.
Seasonal depression.
Sure to strike whenever the holidays come around.
And worsens,
With each Christmas song I hear playing on the radio.
