I took a cab to school today and it cost me exactly $10 inclusive of the $2 peak hour surcharge to travel from my office in Jurong East to NTU. I didn’t mind paying for it because I hate taking the feeder bus service number 179 to campus. It’s always crowded especially in the evening when most people are going home.

My tired mind drifted away as the professor went on and on with her lesson. At times, I had to snap out of it as she went around the class asking questions. Every now and then, I’d look at my watch wishing that I could speed up time so that I could go home and get on with my Scrabulous game, check my emails and watch TV.

Aliya was already asleep when we picked her up from my mother’s place. I need a nice, long shower now.
