Woeful Wednesday - Lost between the purple and red lines???

I'm sorry, I know nobody gives a shit but I'm sorry I haven't been writing in for a week T.T I've been busy with school, of course, ending at 5 every day and going home only to be too exhausted to turn on my laptop again.

O Levels are over aren't they! But I'm sorry my dear Natalee, I can't make a date with you anytime soon because of all these rubbish called homework and revision. Sigh.

Okay so yes, I end school at 5 every single day, except for Wednesday, which ends at 12. I've decided that Wednesdays shall be my travel days, because who the hell wants to go home at 12 in the afternoon? Okay tired people would. But not me!

Last, last Wednesday I'd gone to Bishan and took bus 54 [I think] to Far East Plaza. I'd wanted to go Woodleigh but there weren't any buses that specified 'Woodleigh Stn'.

And then last Wednesday I'd gone to Serangoon because someone had purchased my item on Carousell. Took a 52 to Bishan where I took a 53 to Serangoon, and don't laugh at me, but... I just found out that Ang Mo Kio is right next to Serangoon. WOW.

Right after trading the item for money, I still had free time so I decided to go Woodleigh. It's just one station after Serangoon on the North East Line, but we all know me. I was deadset on taking a full bus journey, so that was just what I tried to do.

I took bus 70 from Serangoon, because the board says it passes a "Gracehaven S Army". I automatically assumed it to be a Salvation Army thrift store, because the one at Upper Bukit Timah is called Praisehaven after all. I thought everything would go fine!

Well, and then I missed the stop. I had Woodleigh on my mind, but I realised that I was already in Yio Chu Kang territory. Do you know how freaked out I was!? Sure, I may be an expert in the North South Line, but damn! What the hell!? I was in Serangoon just a minute ago...!?

I alighted in the middle of nowhere and crossed the road to take the same bus back. I found the Gracehaven, but it turned out not to be a store. Sure, it was a Salvation Army building, but it wasn't a store. I just continued walking on ahead, until I ended up on a random avenue in Hougang ._.

It took me a while to surrender. I was so insistent on traveling by bus, and I was so damn determined to find Woodleigh station via buses. In the end I gave up, took 109 back to Serangoon and just took the MRT. Do you know how many pieces my heart had broken into when I tapped my Ez-link card on the reader!? Do you!?

When I got to Woodleigh, I made sure to see what buses stopped at that bus stop. And guess what? There was a bus 13. Which is a bus that freaking comes from god damned Bishan station. [not the Interchange, but the station outside Junction 8] Like damn!

I guess I have a lot to learn. But at least now I know that MRT Lines are not equal to roads! It's about time I travel the roads, and thanks to bus concession and my free Wednesday afternoons, I guess that's no problem at all!

As for the coming week, I've already made a few plans for different days. Pumped up for each and every one of them! Shall blog about my Carousell loots very soon. Have done a trade, have posted out a parcel for the very first time of my life thanks to the best friend Siying, and currently awaiting for my own parcel to arrive. Whoopwhoop!

I've had bad experiences with postage, even with registered mailing. I can never forget my Pikachu thumbdrives the most, because I'd gotten one for 'Aamir as well, only to be told they had been 'lost in the mail'. I never really trusted mailing after that. Now is my first time in a long time accepting it back into my life. Hope it doesn't screw up this time.
