I am going to start things off on a lighter note.

I woke up early in the morning despite that day being my off day. I was very soon fresh and alert and soon on my way shopping. I went to Fairprice to buy some food to cook of myself, my family and my beloved because my fridge is nearly empty. I bought Fish, Pork & 2 Vegetables. Anyway, when I reached home, I found out that it is to early to start cooking so I decided to watch one of the VCDs which I bought during CNY eve. While watching, I was preparing the ingredients so that I will not to too busy when I am cooking. After all, being organised is always good. But the time the VCD ended, I finished cooking 2 dishes. Not wanting Cynthia to eat unfresh food, I proceeded on to cook the next two dishes. Very soon, I was on my way delivering home-cooked food to her. It seems that my cooking touch wasn't gone yet. The food I cooked was still edible. I am not boasting but I have to say that the food I cooked taste quick nice in fact. After finishing her meal, Cynthia went back to work. I shop around Orchard while waiting for her to get off from work. I bought tickets for Final Destination 3. Finished the movie at around 8 plus. Shop with Cynthia for around 1 hour and I am to go for supper with my colleague. Afraid that I will be late if I take the MRT, I alighted from the MRT to take a cab. In the end, I spent around 55 minutes trying to hail a cab. That was not all! I trying to book a cab from 4 different company but it was all to no avail! The line was engage through-out my 20 minutes of calling! What would they want to have a taxi booking service when they couldn't even have a proper booking system? The purpose of people taking cabs is to shorten their transportation time and avoid the crowd. I could easily reach my destination half an hour earlier if I taken the MRT but I took twice the time on this ocassion! Honestly, I am very disappointed with public transport. Taxi still have a long time to go before achieving good standards. Newspaper have dozens of report about dishonest taxi drivers who went by a longer route oblivion to their customers just for the sake for a few extra cents. Taxi drivers who choose customers instead of the first come first server piority are also another on my hitlist. I experienced an ocassion when I was waiting for cab at Marina Park. There was this taxi which was driving in a land closer to where I was waiting. I was flagging for the taxi but to my disappointment, the taxi shift to the further land. I thought that the taxi was driving to a different location but to my horror, it stopped to pick up passenger at the opposite walkway. The passengers are girls who are wearing quite revealing tops while I am dressed in normal t-shirt and jeans. Could I say that the prevertic nature of the taxi driver prompted him to choose the females passenger rather than me with my plainly dressed company?

At night, I had a meal together with my colleague. The meal was to repay Ken's steamboat treat around a month ago and to bid 2 other part timers farewell. I arrived late of course because of the taxi incident. My colleague were very forgiving and didn't blamed my for being late. They even leave some food for me! It was very thoughtful of them. After we finished the meal, Ken gave us a ride home. Unexpectedly, Esther and Linda both had prepared a gift for me! A goodbye gift perhaps? Esther gave me oil wipes and Linda gave me chocolates. How thoughtless of me not to prepare a gift for them also. Really thank you for the gift. I reach home at around 12 plus and I was asleep soon.... Zzz...
