Hello Grouchy Panda

I'm in a foul mood today.

Why am I in a foul mood? Many many factors adding up to make me very grouchy today.

First of all, yesterday I only slept less than 4 hours. Then I suddenly developed a bit of rash on my lower arm and knee area. Itching a little occasionally. Damn it...

Make matters worst, I worked through the night to get my FYP going. I had to produce some stuff to show supervisor today. Slept a bit on and off but it was still less than 4 hours. So suddenly within 2 days, I've lost 8 hours of sleep straight.

Lay on my bed while waiting for the desktop to boot up so that I could print my stuff to bring. But I sort of overslept. Supposed to meet supervisor at 11am. I left my house at 10.50am and I ended up having to take cab to school. After entering the expressway, the cab was practically crawling. Speed couldn't even hit 20km/h. Pathetic! I could only sit there and watch the meter jump. The traffic signboard stated "Massive jam blah blah blah". I asked the drive to get out of the expressway at the next exit and travel alternative road.

Reached school at 11.40am. Thank goodness my supervisor didn't scold me. Didn't have much things to show him either. Then discuss project and all that. Asked him the breakdown of my previous semester's marks. After that, was time to arrange next meeting. I suggested monday. Then he digressed to say, "Actually I wanted to sms you to say that meeting at 10am. But since I remember initially in the early stage was set at 10am, you will reach at 11am. Now set at 11am, you also reach late. How come ar???"
I tried to defend myself, "just now the road jam. MASSIVE jam."
He was surprised, "Wahh... 11am is not peak hour also will be jammed?"
Speaking the truth, "Really lah... There was a huge jam. Think there was some major accident."
Him convinced, "Ohh... like that then special not everyday kind of case."

I went to the library to do my FYP. I sometimes wonder how can people be so inconsiderate. They go to the library to enjoy the aircon and chat. Not just soft chatting. They sit in a big group and talk. Laughter was horrible. Got the act cute kinda laughter, hyena laughter, high ptich screeching laughter. *Hair stand* Further more, they run around like kids. OMG...! I couldn't help but just starring at them in utter disbelief and diao them when there was eye contact.
Signs of the grouch...

Waited for Anlin to come collect diploma certificate. Wanted to use my laptop but I decided against it incase I get distracted and surf away my time instead of doing my FYP. (Later you will read on why even if I really wanted to on laptop I also can't go online.) Finally she came. I was getting bored alone in the library.

Collected her certificate and she went to buy her webcam. We went to the library to eat nachos & cheese. Quite nice...

Went out of school so that we can have our proper dinner. Then headed over to NTUC so that she can buy some stuff for her job. I couldn't resist the temptation of this thick chocolate cake which I saw when we were having dinner. Ohh when I went closer to look at the cake, I realised that it only cost $2.80. Its even bigger than those cafes cake and so much cheaper. Haha... I bought it lah...

Headed home after that. This is where my foul mood came back again. Building up from many incidents which happend in just that 1 hour journey back.

The bus arrived just as we had bid each other bye bye. The queue was already quite long and it was a single decked bus. By the time I boarded, there were not much empty seats left except one. Somehow the seats in these older buses tend to be very cramp. My knees would touch the front seat if the person in front suddenly leans back. Further more, had a big bag with me. So basically, I was in a cramped up position and would be that way for the next hour or so.

I fell asleep and since this wasn't like the usual bus where its more spacious so that can slack down a bit, I slept till my neck also very pain. Pain till can't sleep anymore despite being so tired.
The skies start to darken. Suddenly, I see this small black things moving along the window. Ohh fuck! I'm already so squashed up lah... Go away!
Thank goodness the uncle who sat beside me wasn't those chao-buaya kinda pattern who would inch in closer at every opportunity. So there was a bit of gap which allowed me to shift myself away from the window.
To think one small black nymph crawling was bad enough? Shit... Suddenly there were about 3 small ones and 1 medium one crawling out as if they were modelling for roach brand. I inched myself even further from the side.

The person in front of me alighted. The next person just slammed himself down on the chair which of course slammed onto my knees pretty hard.
Basket... Think you very light ar?

The person behind me alighted. The next person sat there. He noticed a bloody medium sized nymph around the front of his seat. Guess what that shithead did? He started to tap around the nymph and got it into slight state of frenzy. The damn thing suddenly scurried towards me lah.
Damn him... This shithead whose brain is located at his arse is damn evil lah... Don't want that disgusting creature near it as if other people want it near them meh?

I didn't stand cause the bus was too packed. To stand with such a big bag would only get myself shoved around by people who want to alight. So as the creature ran towards me, I could only siam. My head is not full of shit like that arse so I did not try to agitate them further.

Nightmare was finally over after 1 and a half hours of gruelling bus ride. I suddenly got urge to write complain email to SBS. See 1 nymph still quite normal. But see 4 at one time, just goes to show that the bus is damn filthy lor... Tomorrow I shall write in to complain...

Anyway, came back home. Didn't eat that whole slice of cake myself. Shared with bro, offered some to dad. Came into my room and saw my laptop adapter on the chair. Tell me, how freaking blur am I??!?!?!? Even if I did really want to show my supervisor stuff on my laptop would be impossible. Even if I wanted to use it in the library while waiting for AL, I also can't. See what lack of sleep does to me?
I'm damn tired... Waiting for the toilet to be vacant.
