I didnt know such a simple trip to evoke so much emotion. Hillarious, fuming mad, in awe, well...all the emotions combined I suppose. When I first saw the line at 930 am, I was devastated...blimey...such a long queue...its gonna be an extremely long wait..Im sure I will be late for my tuition...but what to do...I have to pay my mum's bill...so no choice...I waited and waited...gosh...it was extremely slow now its already 15 minutes to 10 am and I m still far behind the queue...thinking...about the time I could start teaching...or the extra sleep I could have gotten had it not been for this..then suddenly, an old auntie in green came right in front of the queue...she created a comotion when she jumped the queue...the people behind her made a lot of noise...so old auntie had no choice but to walk away...then out of the blue...she came lining up behind an old uncle...the old man just kept quiet...I was behind the old man...had it been me sometime ago...I would have argued or told her off...but now...me in my can't be bothered mode...just kept quiet.
Then I heard a baby crying...boy...the kid was a nuisance...he was crying so loudly, it pissed me off...but again...I just kept quiet and endured the nonsense. What I saw then was this frantically looking guy...I suppose the dad of the kid trying to pacify him..wow...he was so calm yet so stressed...eventually the kid kept quiet after the dad gave him the pacifier...thank god...finally..peace...BUT...nooo....this old man came and suppose to get a parcel I suppose...but he couldnt get it...and was arguing with the staff at SingPost...though it was impressive the way the staff handle him...I was annoyed by his stubborness...eventually a guy explained to him in dialect...and the noisy uncle went off...without his parcel..and that was about the time when it was my turn to pay the bill at 1010 am abt half an hour of waiting...its tiring...but I dont have a choice do I...bills bills bills...but actually, this waiting made me learn some important aspects such as patience, tolerance and many other craps...those that Ive lost along the way...and now I am aware I have them still. So not that bad!

Patience is a virtue that so few people seem to have these days. Good on you for having that kind of strength and recognizing it!
Have you heard of Man's inventions called
S.A.M.
or
AXS?
or Internet banking?
Cheers.
