the thing i like about cny is that for once, the family have meals together, the house is much cleaner than usual ( due to all the psychologically-forced spring cleaning ) and nice snacks.

sentosa flowers was nice, although the crowd control was baddd. i cant imagine how i spent 1 1/2 hrs just trying to get out of sentosa ( i shld hav juz walked out instead of wait for that sentosa express ).

speaking of which, i think that the sentosa express needs to be able to balance between a near empty crowd during off peak periods and super extra huge crowd during peak periods such as festivals, events, holidays. the trains, though small and rather efficient, are grossly unable to handle the huge crowd at cny day 1. not to mention the total lack of effective crowd control and the pushing by "certain " types of people. not to mention that the trains should triple their frequencies that day (but didnt)

and that made me arrive late at changi airport.

conclusion: no way can we depend solely on public transport.

sent qing and shan off. was quite an emo one for me ( altho i try not to show it much ).

next up, more work to catch up on before the excuse of cny wears off and things start piling up again.

"i think the ride isnt smooth enough. so there must be probs with ur braking, acceleration, gear." ( and to think i actually thought i drove well & the test route was easy )

argh. my instructor was like shaking his head over the small silly stuff that added up. and made the decision for me that i should try again ( and hopefully i dont get the same tester )

right. maybe its a ploy to get more ppl to use public transport.

hmmph. ploys do not succeed.

characteristics of smu students:

cny is a time for project meetings, and for catching up on work/lost sleep.

well its not that bad really. just that things could be much better if time wasnt a scarce commodity.

im feeling the cny mood alr: the need to rush all earlier deadlines/quizzes just before cny in a bid to actually have a decent holiday. the rush to do much needed spring cleaning at home. a new wallet ( finally something that's more like it )
