Sometimes I wish I have an extra 12 hours a day.

These couple of days have been a mad mad mad rush. Time flies by like a bullet train, leaving mi panting and looking like a xiao char boh.

Hahahaha.... *wry smile*

In other news, I have been trying to achieve my no-poles/handles stance in the mrt cabins these few days. Previously for the past 20 odd years in my life, I suck at balancing in the cabins without any support. Having to clung for my dear life to the steel poles or handles (often stained by infinite number of messy fingerprints) as the train cruises ahead (sometimes jerkily or haltin to a sudden stop).

During times when I have nothing to grip on, I would fearfully perched all my 10 toes and dug em into my flats. All this a bid hoping i can balance and not fall flat on the hard ground with impassive commuters looking on.

Hence, I am a little proud to say I have managed to achieve some sorta balance recently from my tomato land to raffles place without holding on to anyth :D

But i have noticed train rides seem smoother when the train is under tunnel (sudden halts not counted) then when its outta the tunnel. And I still don't get it y muz one read newspaper in the train when it's clear that there is no space to flip your papers wide open????????????
