the long journey to school

was feeling quite unmotivated at home on sunday morn so decided to go to sch to study. guess my bro playing the Xbox360 in my rm was abit too much for me. braving the heavy downpour to reach the busstop, i proceeded to board bus 198. this would prove to be the longest ever journey to sch. 

toppled tree (1 of 3). a few malay guys had to get down the bus in the pouring rain to carry/push the gigantic thingy out of the way before the bus could continue. early training for their future jobs, heh. 

just another example of what those nice men had to overcome in clearing the various trees that had toppled.

finally at sch after a horrendous 1.5 hr journey (normally takes just ard 30 mins).

nobody in their right mind is gg to want to attempt the long jump in these conditions. suicidal.

i must stress that having reading material or a portable game console is a must on public transport. even if incidents such as the above isn't the norm, doing something constructive in the time spent travelling (quite alot if u add it up!) would save one alot of time doing it later. 

normally clear my unreplied msges and settle/confirm trgs and meetups on the bus too, thus explaining my outstanding reply rate at certain times of the day.
