The taxi driver was driving towards Flora Rd using a different route. It was much more expensive and much slower than yesterday. I compared the 2 journeys on Tuesday and Thursday (today). They shall be named A and B respectively.

Time : A - Roughly 20mins.
B - Roughly 35mins.

Route : A - Gets to PIE as fast as he cans (before lavender)
B - Goes all the way to Paya Lebar, THEN goes to PIE (through a lot of jam)

Cost : A - $12.50
B - $15.60 (without adding peak hour fare)

See the difference? At first I thought he did not know the way to Flora Rd and was just following the MRT tracks. So I was quite pissed, thinking that I would have to pay much more money, and I SMS-ed my mother to standby some money just in case. He is a nice chap though, when about to reach my home.

I thought I was lucky to have $15 to pay up for the fare but he added another $3 for the peak hour fare. I was like wtf. I called my mother down. It was kinda funny. The taxi driver's phone rang and I think it was his wife talking to him about their daughter's/son's spelling mark. I was waiting for the mark. I wanted to hear how much their kid got. But he kept saying "his spelling got how much?" But, my mother came. I went to take a shower as my shirt was very stinky.

Well we lost to HCI. 2-3. It was a good match. But, the line-up totally messed up everything. MESSED. I was useless in the game as I played with someone far better than me. I lost. Well, and I got a little 'light scolding/questioning' for that. One of my players won someone that is better than him. The question is, by how much? The teacher said

"Why is it that Dickson can win someone better than him and you can't? Was it determination? Or what?"

The 'you' is referring to me. I got a little pissed with that. It's like now the teacher blames me for losing. Halfway through when I was telling Melvin about how Josh plays, as he was playing the last match, the deciding match who will win, I was stopped by the coach. And...NEVERMIND.

Blogger's text is driving me nuts.
