Life on the lonely MRT ride
~Life on the lonely train ride~
Intended to study till at least 8 pm tonite in sch, yet i left shortly after my jnr (she's been my study pal for the past few days) left... felt that i did a lot today, at least more than i expected, altho it still falls short of my target... sigh, yeah, me left at 7.15pm and the library was already quite empty... the sky was dark, the road was quiet, the gentle street lights led the way to the bus stop at SOC. then i recalled that it's a Sat nite! lost track of the days... everyday seem to be a wkday for me... and indeed, it's so depressing to have gone thru 8 days (excluding the sun which i hibernated at home) of intensive mugging... yeah rite, "intensive"? i won't consider so, from the way i still took time off to watch tv, travel (=dazing on the bus, daydreaming for 3 hrs every day), and to blog...
since it was dark by the time i left the library, i took 95 to Buona Vista MRT... sometimes, i just don't feel like taking the bus, u know how the bus rides make me think too much? but i guess i'm wrong abt mrt rides... train rides can be depressing too... being among the crowd, makes me "stand out" among them... at least i feel so... why? well, u shld see how sulky i look (plus the horrible reddish blemishes that's on), and everyone else seems at least expressionless... but since it's a Sat, they are mostly a happy bunch, well-dressed, either back from their trip to town or on their way to town... No wonder i feel lonelier on the train then when i usually take the bus, at least i get to be "concussed" for most part of the journey... But well, at least i get to enjoy the cool air and solitude when i'm walking back from the bus stop to my block, no one else on the dark pathway, the big bellowing tress hang over me... i simply like that part of my way back home... that's the part i like to walk alone, always a time for me to listen to the night - the cicadas, the toads, the stray cats, and of cos the voices in my heart... a time for me to enjoy the night and reflect upon the things that happened in the day... somehow, nowadays, i don't take the path as often as before... yeah, cos now my tuition sprees are over, and i don't come back (cos i haven't been there!) from town anymore? counting down to my last paper : 6 days!
