` 090707. NS med checkup.

CMPB's location was really... deserted.
for the uninitiated, CMPB stands for Central Manpower Base.
despite being "well-versed" in public transport routes (thanks to the bus guides i've been collecting), i had to transfer from bus to purple line then bus again.
there were actually two options.
first was to take service 147 to jalan bukit merah.
following a transfer to service 195 which would bring me to depot road.
the destination stop would be closer to the main entrance.
second was to take service 112 to kovan mrt station.
after that, take mrt all the way to outram park interchange.
then transfer to green line and alight at redhill.
finally, service 145 which would take me to henderson road.

implication: the first route can better save on transport fees.
technically speaking, that couldn't be disputed.
but i forgot that it was the morning rush hours.
and road traffic is bound to be congested.
especially so since 147 passes through parts of chinatown.
still, i was stupid enough to embark on route one.
my appointment time was 0930.
by the time the bus neared potong pasir station, it was already 0850.
realising i wouldn't be able to make it purely by bus, i had to switch to purple line and transit to outram park interchange.
the rest of my LONG journey followed the script for route two.
by the time i reach the main entrance, it was like 0940 le. >.<

i wouldn't delve into the details of the med check.
except that the x-ray guy was so ___.
and the vocational assessment at the end took ages.
like almost two hours la.
and worse, i forgot to ask for confirmation letter before leaving.
zzz.
so i had to use the "summary of medical status" form instead as an excuse for missing the day's lessons. =/
oh and btw, i'm provisionally graded as PES A.
sucks.
if never start training up from now means certain failure for IPPT.
later in the day, i returned to school for physics make-up lecture.
and i wished i had given it a miss.
the lecture comprised of a practice of 15 multiple choice questions, followed by the teacher giving the answer key, and then.. dismissal. -__-
oh well.
had to take back my geog and econs essay papers anyway.
and both scores failed my expectations.
again.
geog was 47.5/100. the DRQs were a massive disappointment.
econs was 9/25. combined with 8/30 for case study, the result was a foregone conclusion. zzz.
so yea, a pretty bad day for me there.

` 100707. today.

well, nothing notable of record.
just one less day before the major exams.
my lecture group finally moved on to final chapter for math.
then pe was more training at the gym.
geog was a continuation of going through the common test.
mass civics was talks from senior personnel from NTU and SMU.
and finally gp, more jokes and stuff as usual.

the bill for re-tiling has come up to $3745.
now that's really a major bombshell.
i think my laptop may have to go.
and the irony is i got it just three weeks ago!
which sucks even more.

haiz.
this week hasn't been kind to me at all.
and there's still a pileload of assignments waiting for me.
okay.
i must try my utmost best to take down everything.
probably have to stay up till 2am or later.
bye.

those memories. 20:59
