It's been a long week. Wednesday was an adveture on the underground system:( I was supposed to reach Hammersmith hospital at 10am. I decided to leave at 9, since it should take about 45min to get to the hospital from home.
I ended up waiting at earl's court (the nearest station to my house) for 30 min, because none of the trains go to the interchange. F***. I shud have known by then sth was very very wrong. But one finally came, and I took it. Alas! It stopped service at the next stop. F***. So I crossed the platform to take the next train to the interchange. After 5 min, there was an annoncement that says that the platform was not in use anymore due to some problems. F***. The only option was to take a train back to earl's court. So I went to the platform which serves the train back, only to have them say that the train I want is arriving in a separate platform. F***. So back to Earl's Court I go, at 10am! F***. After that, I have to take a roundabout route which takes twice the time needed. F***. By the time I reached the hospital, I missed my appointment already. F***.
Yep... HORRIBLE!!!!!

Update!!!!!!!
Been some time since I blogged.
Played in Nottingham's Games yesterday, for the Imperial Singsoc floorball team. We got Gold, a totally unexpected thing, considering how many inexperienced players we had and our badly we played the training before. The trip took 3 hours to go and another 3 to return. Not something to attempt yearly unless there's a good incentive to.
Congrats to ChongW who got 2nd=) Congrats to the soccer team, who got 3rd outta 16. That is a bl**dy good accomplishment:D Congrats to frisbee, who managed 3rd despite only having 1 proper training b4 actual comp.
Of course, congrats to the other floorball team, who got 3rd. Most unfortunate thing which should have never happened. Nevertheless, many of them on that team gave me lotsa encouragement and advice from the sidelines, without which I may be a headless chicken running around. ("Pressure him, Cheryl!"[Gal's voice, therefore Chinlin or Hanyan?] "Stay, Cheryl, stay!" "U r playing well now, just keep it gng!" [might have been Hocks but din see]).
And, yep, thanks to my team mates. Jau, the superhero/ leader/ striker/ strategist of the match. Zhong Jie, the team player. Always playing beautiful floorball. ALWAYS. Guang Fan and Yoke, the unbreakable defence duo. Gave me a few scares when they left the goal wide open. But Yoke's assurance of their partnership was real: no goals were conceded without a goalie. Then there's Abiel who did a last minute hat trick to win us in the finals. Joan, who's always smiling, snatched a few balls to pass. She outdid herself yesterday:) Zheng Yuan, my housemate!!! Proud of him. Scored the opening goal in the finals! Morale booster which we thrived on for the rest of the match. It was what he wanted, and he did it! WOOOHOO!!
Really enjoyed those floorball trainings. It was rather fun playing for leisure rather than having a structured traning session. It keeps the passion burning. Might go back when I have the time.
I've once again smartly overpacked my schedule with too many things. I am gonna start a research stint with this lab that's 1hour away from sch and home. It's an oncology lab, which is what I wanna do in the future. But it's gonna be taxing, given the travel time and the fact that it will take place on all my free afternoons. So from now on, I will be away from morning to evening. It is only now that I realised how hard it is gonna be. Firstly, I will have less 12 hours of study time a week. Secondly, I wun be able to tok to TE anymore in the afternoons, coz I will either be travelling or be in the lab. Next, I didn't take into account that I'd be having french at lunch time. So I will be rushing straight from French for lab without any lunch. Lastly, gym would have to be saved for breaks between lessons. Sounds hectic. And I gotta aim for 1st class on top of these. I can see all future poker nights, floorball sessions, salsa sessions, shopping trips, musicals etc fly out of the window:(
Having said that, I am gonna try catch linkin park in London:) Not sure if it will happen, but hopefully yes!!! :D:D:D
