Visit to Motor.

Today I changed my route of going to work again. I tried taking the MRT. Surprisingly I am more relax when I took the train. I do not worry if there is a jam or anything like that. I left home at about 0720hrs and and reached the office by 0840hrs. This is because I managed to take the company bus after alighting from the MRT. "Heng".

Again, I started the morning by surfing some websites for a while. Then I proceed to work on the task Kolar has assigned me. It was gathering the details of the inventory cards outside the plant. Doing that was a repetitious task but rather simple. Next I need to think of how to present the data in a simple manner to others. This was more tedious than gathering the data itself. Soon it was lunch again.

Kolar, chip munk, bear, fat rat and I went to meet our vendor for lunch. Went to Jalan Kayu for Nasi Byrani. After lunch we went to see aero plane at Seletar (led by the vendor - of course). then we went to Motor to have our meeting. There is a list of issues on going and I know none. Nearly slept during meeting. Trying hard to keep myself awake. Next time must remember to print, read and ask about the issues before going meeting. After meeting, we toured Motor and had coffee again.

Then it was time we leave for home. Chip munk was living quite near me and I try to propose that he give me a lift home. I thought he need to turn right after leaving Motor to go to Yio Chu Kang. So I tell him he can drop me somewhere after turning right. But he replied that his house is at the left. ya, he is right, his house is at the left and by turning right he will reach my house. (which I am not aware as I always thought that by turning right will drop me at Yio Chu Kang).
So in the end I opt not to take a ride from him. It is getting obvious that he is reluctant to send me home. he even suggested that he can drop me at compass point and go home by NEL. This is even more ridiculous as he knows where I stay and its out of the way from the NEL. By now, I am not expecting him to help me as a friend. In the end I took a bus to Sgn Nth Ave 4 and transferred another bus home. I think I will not expect help as a friend from him any more. No expectations, no disappointment. I must thank god for letting me home earlier and focus on the fact that I can blog this entry now and go jogging later.

It will be good if I can learn to let go and forget about this issue. But can I do it? It's no point holding on to this stupid thing. If next time I got my transport, then I will avoid today's situation. But only god knows what other issues will there be with my own transport. Lesson learn: dont expect too much help from "friends". Learn to stand on your own. Things were not like that when we are classmates 17 years ago. Isn't it? Human changed? Or everyone is the same, except that we know more about them now?
