bizarre thing that happened. today, the driver of bus 61 got lost. i wasn't on it lah, i was on another bus, and happened to pass by and saw. ok, context. 61 will go along circuit road, follow through that road next to macpherson pri and then turn right towards canossa convent. but today. it took a left towards blk 125 instead, in a totally opposite direction of where it was supposed to go. *gasp* lady driver btw, looked quite young, probably new. anyway, ya, it stalled outside of blk 125. me was thinking if 61 had a re-routing or something. anyway, lucky for that driver, some helpful guy came up and directed her back to the right direction. she couldn't take a u-turn cos it was one of those huge bendy buses, no way it was going to fit that intersection to u-turn. so she had to turn into geylang east, go all the way round to paya lebar, and then go through circuit road again. poor thing.


hope the picture works. i tried the blogger pic upload like 10 times before giving up and going back to photobucket. oh ya, and thanks to google earth for the image. not 100% accurate cos the thing is too small to see clearly. legend: red is where 61's supposed to go. blue is the direction it went just now. yellow is the detour it took to get back on track.

bought andrew's donation draw tickets. for a purely selfish reason. the first prize this year is $30,000. 2nd prize is $10,000. 3rd prize is $5000. no prizes for guessing what i want that for. ;D if i get 1st prize - me and andrew are gonna split 50-50 (it's a long story). if it's $10,000 - US here i come! if it's $5000, well, better than nothing, hello UBC. of course, if it's the full $30,000 (that andrew may or may not be happy to not split) haha, forget about US sia, on to England! muahahahahaha!

yup. all for now. to end off, this lyric i heard

Today I watched in silence as people passed me by
And i strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes
But they all looked back at me as if to say, "Life just goes on"

The old familiar story told in different ways,
"Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today, life must go on"

And there's more to this life than living and dying,
More than just trying to make it through the day.
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see.
