Every morning when the irate alarm ringtone awakens me from my slumber, I can feel a war being fought inside me.
The aggressor belonged to the studious and focused army from the Previous-Night's-Promises Armed Forces, whereas the dug-in defenders belonged to the lazy but strong Get-Back-In-Bed-NOW Militias.
Usually, the PNPAF would appear strong and well-prepared the night before, telling me that waking up at 7am is a good idea because you get 1 more hour of study time/running time before I need to go for lessons/work. They give me such a good reassurance that I felt so confident that the PNPAF's plans will not be jeopardised.
Nonetheless, little did I know that the GBIBN Militias were planning for their sneaky attack onto land Fighting Spirit. Through my soundless sleep (I don't snore and I hope to keep it that way haha!), they secretly advanced and captured Fighting Spirit, entrenching themselves and awaiting for the counterattack of PNPAF.
PNPAF opened the break-in battle, with the widely recognised alarm clock as the signal for breaching.
GBIBN were well prepared and defended Fighting Spirit strongly with the following arsenal:
1. "Just sleep more no point studying when you so tired!" Grenades
2. "You gotto be there at 10 a.m., work backwards, you can sleep till 8 why wake up at 7!" loaded GPMG
3. "Snooze first, afterwards then decide!" mm Recoiless Rifles
Today, PNPAF lost the fight, and GBIBN accomplished their mission to delay PNPAF's advance by 0800hrs. Sigh.
Yep, so I started the day heading towards Mediacorp! Well today was all about getting my anime costume right... the most interesting part was getting my face dolled up with make-up, and boy it felt so much like camo when the make-up lady smeared my face with pseudo-perfume smelling skin coloured paint, and coloured my eyes black (I couldn't stop my eyes from shivering when she was drawing my lower eyelids haha!)
I couldn't recognise myself AT ALL after the make up, costume, and fake hair (Got this golden coloured wig!)
So because of all that I was late for lecture. Now before jumping into details of looking for Felicia Chin through the rows of half-bored half-irate students of the ever "entertaining" Business Analytics lessons by the most fucked up lecturer till date I have uncovered, let me share an only James moment...
I mistook a Police Car for a cab
Probably was the far distance in which I saw the 'Cab', it did looked like a Merc cab if you ask me! So I strode to the edge of the road in confidence, and ALMOST flagged it when I realise my total fiasco before turning around trying to make everything look as innocent as ever. I did not notice if the Policeman driving saw what I did, well if he did, the story of the uncanny dude who attempted to flag a Police car because it looked like a cab would probably be circulating throughout the whole Police mail lists!
Ok so FML for that, moving on,
I managed to flag a real cab this time.
And boy did this cabby impress me!
Barely stopping his cab, the cab door miraculously opened, and left me wondering as the cabby ushered me with his hand motions to get in the car, Robin! Slamming the door shut, I realised that the cabby had engineered a device that enables him to open the rear seat doors with a flick of a handle next to his gears.
"Seat belts please", he spoke in a harsh voice, making me jerk the seatbelt around me quickly.
This cabby is like a cut above the rest... with this device he engineered, he probably saved 5 seconds time from commuters opening the door after the taxi halts. 5 seconds per business, this would probably add up to a substantial amount of time saved for the ingenious cabby, bringing him more business than a normal cabby. Moreover, he has well established SOP's in place, when he firmly told me to fasten my seatbelts. I've met taxi drivers who would are less with the safety of his commuters, assumes a safe journey and does not insist that passengers fasten on seatbelts. However, by doing so, this cabby has eliminated a substantial amount of risk involved in accidents to the passenger!
So it does not matter what you work as. With innovation, you can still be a cut above the mediocres of your industry.
Word of the day:
Dapper
neat; trim; smart

Good day!
