Bus 99. Mitch Albom: For One More Day

Bloody hell, I can’t imagine I was that sleepy last night! I reached home about 7p.m, had my dinner first because I skipped lunch to sleep. After dinner, I went to Gek Poh Shopping Centre to accompany my little sister to buy a pen and went into the VCD shop to see what’s there to rent the next time we have money. LoLs. Wanted to buy a piggy bank so I can save up the coins, but there is NO piggy bank sold in the shop (got lah, but it’s Hello Kitty. And I don’t quite like a cat without mouth, you get what I mean?). And I switched on my laptop and went to lie down on my bed for awhile before going to shower, i fell asleep. At 8plus, till this morning. Hahahas. This is how tired I was last night. So I didn’t pick up Bi’s call last night and I think I even hang up his calls. Poor him.

Nevermind about that. I woke up at 7.15a.m today, and guess what? I’m still late for work. Why is it so? Bloody hell, since when there are 4 bus 99 coming together at 8.20a.m?? My colleague who started waiting for that since 7.45a.m boarded bus 99 earlier on and the bus breakdown even before it reaches my house. So, what’s the point of me getting out of my house 10 mins earlier than yesterday and reached office later than yesterday? Wtf. Waiting for bus 99 irritates the hell out of me. Sometimes I have the urge to take cab to work, but thinking about the peak hour surcharge makes me drop the idea. Watever it is, this is the problem with SBS bus service.

Anyways, I finished reading Mitch Albom’s For One More Day.

The story that this author wrote really touches my heart. What this book wrote is about a man named Charles “Chick” Benetto and a story about his mother. Do you know that love from mother is the world’s greatest gift? You might not have realize it today, someday when your mother is gone, you will realize the nagging, the care, and concern that was once there is gone. This book is about Chick who keep on trying to end his life even though his mother has passed away for 8 years. The latest attempt to end his life, he was involved in an accident and he met his mum. And tells the story from the time he’s a toddler till he becomes a man and get married. Tells the story of his mother stand up for him and the time he didn’t stand up for his mum. It’s touching, because even though his mother passed away, his mother is still in his heart to help him stand up.

And then it’s time to start on a story book tomorrow or perhaps i should finish reading the book that i start reading last year? LOLs.
