So I haven't updated my blog with all the happenings of the MINDEF induction programme like I wanted to at the beginning of it. I remember I wrote something like, 'I'm gonna blog every single day about what we do here just to make everyone jealous of us...yadda, yadda, yadda.'
Haha.
What a naive little girl I was. Truth be told, what I would have wrote, if I ever found the time to, would have made many people jealous. On the other hand, I'll just leave it to you all to guess what super secret meetings and discussions we have here.
The induction programme will come to an end in five days' time! Time flies by so fast. It will be an emotional end to an era of only 3 months. It'll be difficult to leave all the people that I've grown so close to. I will definitely see them again, but not as often as I would like.
The end of the induction programme also signifies how the real world is closing in on us. We will all have to start preparing for our uni life. Preparing to leave and preparing to start a new life. And my favourite part of leaving, PACKING, and shopping for things to bring!
It occurred to me last night that I will still not be a university student as yet. I will be going to a university (which one, I shall not disclose as yet, as I am still waiting), but I will not be an undergraduate student. You shall understand in time to come, haha.
So a random story here. I found out through the induction programme that I can be quite blunt, in words and in action. I criticise people, though I didn't notice it so well, but nowadays, I do see that I tell the truth too much. Haha, whatever, I like to tell the truth, but I shall learn to sugar-coat my evil side.
I am a Mandy, afterall. Think 'Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy'.
So I was about the Centerpoint area this evening, and you know how the area outside Jollibee is where many cars wait for people, they just park by the roadside, blocking the cars already parked in. So my friends and I were trying to cross from the road into the building. We were crossing behind a car that was parked in the 'waiting' zone. While we were crossing, the car backed up on us.
Pedestrians trump big car, right??
So it is our place to cross the side of the road (note that we weren't even on the actual road anymore), and not have a car back up on us as if we weren't there.
So obviously the guy was stupid.
My friend crossed first and the car was suddenly backing up. And then when I crossed second, he was still backing up.
WHAT KIND OF STUPID PERSON backs up on people?
A very stupid one.
I got annoyed and I used a plastic bag that I was carrying and hit the car with it.
Obviously, I was not acting out on rage, I am more composed than that.
I hit the car in order to make a really loud 'THUD' sound so that the driver can hear that someone is behind the car, since he is obviously visually challenged.
And it worked!
The car stopped backing up on us.
Whatever, we all just walked away before we could see what the person's reaction was.
The driver is obviously not worth the time of being stared at angrily.
Moral of the story, I can be blunt in my actions, so don't back up on me.
And...
Hit a car before it hits you.
