well, today was the first day of school. what horrid timing right? i was actually quite okay with school, cause i would get to meet my friends again, so nevermind about the holiday/festive season. BUT, as always, being around joanna and her constant blabbering about how horrid the timing is for school, i have started to find it a real drag having to, well, drag myself to school everyday now when others are enjoying their holidays. sigh.

so we headed to school today, and something realy ridiculous happened enroute to TP. i was on 23 with joanna and we were about to head up the highway when the bus suddenly stopped for a period of time. i was starting to wonder what had happened when the bus driver came up the steps and started looking around. then he headed to the back to this poly student and this transpired.

bus uncle: boy where you going? you pay $1 only right?
student: *something very soft that i couldnt hear*
bus uncle (in a louder voice): go temasek not only $1! poly student already, no student fare! come down and pay $1.60 more.

by this time the whole upper deck was gawking like nobody's business already. but the uncle proceeded to humiliate the poor boy by waiting for him and beckoning. i felt so indignant for the poor boy. alright, granted he did under-pay his fare, according to SBS Transit's guidelines, but was it really necessary to humiliate him in public? i'm very sure he would have obliged to pay his correct fare even if the driver had spoken to him in a more civilised tone. sometimes i wonder if such people have an ego problem. maybe they need to periodically put people down to feel good about themselves. its so sickening to watch.

so anyway, we headed to school wayyyyyyy earlier than the time school starts so that we could finish busfund project. ours was extremely brief and concise. and its my most last-minute work, ever! now that's saying something. i just hope we'll do well enough to get an A. and i did get my first A today for business fundamentals. heh. i expected nothing less, but i think i should not have made that many careless mistakes.

tomorrow's security and surveillance. i hope i don't get a really horrid grade...
