Finally, after 3 weeks of so-called intense NCAP course, it is finally over! Exam on the last day of the 10th lesson. A total dramatic closure to my NCAP course which I will never forget at least for the next few months.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE for an exam in my entire 16years of life as a student until that night, 13 Dec 2010. Gosh...that was one of the most panicky moment in my life!
Exam was at 7.30pm at the PSB Academy, Tiong Bahru. Left house at about 6.30-6.40pm. Usually, I will reach the place either slightly earlier or on the dot but not that freaking day. Waited for the feeder bus for about 5 minutes as usual which made me reached Yew Tee at about 6.50pm. Not a problem!
Then i need to wait a freaking 6minutes for the train to arrive. Okay fine! not much problem.
The horror started when the freaking bloody train stuck in the middle of the track to Jurong East for about 5 freaking minutes! I reached Jurong East at about 7.10pm. Fine...still ok.
The freaking train didn't come for the next 5 F-king minutes and they don't even display the train's arrival time. The next thing I heard was "The train at Platform A towards for Pasir Ris is not for passenger service." I was like WTF?? It was 7.20pm by then!
Rushed down to look for a cab. The interesting thing was I don't even know where on earth is the taxi stand. So i ran towards the old Jurong Entertaiment with the hope I will get a cab but there is not even a single one on the freaking road! Search frantically for the cab and luckily i got one! phew....
Asked the uncle to drive me to the place and then i asked him...
"Uncle, how long will it take ah?"
"Erm, with this kind of traffic, maybe 30mins..."
"What??? Seriously...? I'm late for my exams already.... Uncle, got take NETS?"
"No, only credit cards or Ez-link card..."
"What....?? I got not enough cash la uncle..."
"Maybe we can stop nearby petrol kiosk and you can withdraw..."
"No Uncle, I very late for my exams already..."
Cut story short....thank god traffic was so nice to me and I have enough money to pay the fare using my ez-link card.... phew! Reached at 7.45pm at the expense of my increase heart rate, shaky hand and $14.
Uncle so nice that he even wished me good luck for my exams. While on our way, i think he could sensed my urgency...he went to scold this driver who drove at 70km/hr on the expressway...and another driver who sort of road hog on the 1st lane.. lol.
Thank you Uncle! :D
Luckily, exam wasn't that difficult and I managed to finish it just in time. Hopefully, I will pass...which I should since I can pass my more difficult biology papers... hmmm.... *pray hard*
