last week was a dark week for singapore's reputable public transportation. in a space of few days, there were about 3 disruptions to the MRT services. this was also after an implementation of the revised taxi fares.

my dad and sister were affected by the disruptions. they got back really late, last friday. my sister was calling me asking of another way to get back.

facebook was full of updates on commuters' displeasure. i was worried of the people i know who work at SMRT.

so yesterday, sunday, SMRT said that the MRT services will resume at 10am. i was not worried because i needed to be at the cage at 11.30am. but then i received news that as of 10.45am, it has not resumed.

i planned to take 853 to kallang and then cab to the cage. but all the buses were full. finally after standing there and thinking through all the possible routes i boarded 969 to tampines. thank God the east west line resumed service by the time i got there. i was walking to the cage when elly called me saying my game will be starting in 10minutes! ran across that huge carpark at kallang leisurepark! got there, changed, drank some water and played!

we drew all games and got into the quarters. oh! i scored an on goal when our team met EB. hah. met the other sporting team during the semis. won the penalties. i scored 1! coach would have been proud because i Always miss penalties! met EB again in the finals where we lost 2-0.

my left knee was battered. i did some tackles and so it is now scraped. it stung when i showered. its been a loooooong time since i felt that pain. and also, my left knee got kicked at and all. it is a little swollen.

immy insisted on having ice cream at leisurepark. so after having pastamania, we went to marble slab creamery. the flavours and combinations were too ovrwhelming for me so i didnt order any. shared a waffle an d ice cream with az and immy. we picked 3 flavours, cotton candy, bubble gum and caramel. i only liked caramel. haha. they literally mixed the 3 different ice cream together and topped it on top of the waffle. the waffle on its own is delish!

so it was still raining as we ran to elly's car. since there were 6 of us, me and yuting volunteered to sit at the back with the balls and the boxes. at one point, i was amazed at how i felt that i have been demoted from co-driver to most back seat passenger.

amazing at how life is so unpredictable.

i am thankful for my lovely friends. and i had a good time playing the last tournament of 2011.
