Day 58 of the 60DWCC - Rushed Errands and Shopping at Jurong Point

As RK has tuition this evening, THL and I arranged to meet up at another coffeeshop nearby to have our dinner. After we send RK in for his tuition, THL and I took a bus to Jurong Point and we were kind of a rush since we only have 90 minutes before we have to fetch RK back from his tuition centre.

And guess what, there was not a single bus going to Jurong Point for a whole 17 minutes and by the time we reached Jurong Point, 30 odd minutes have passed. THL and I had to split up and rush through our errands and for me to buy a few things from the DIY shop. By the time we meet up again at Popular Book store, 80 minutes have passed and we have less than 10 minutes to travel back to fetch RK.

After we hopped on the next bus home, I had to send a SMS to the tuition teacher to inform her that we will be late in fetching RK. We manage to fetch RK but we were 15 minutes late.

We spent the rest of the night watching the Korean drama after RK has gone to bed.

Daily Afterthoughts:

We were rushing against time this evening and it is always during such moments that the thoughts of getting a car flood my mind. Yeah, with a car, I would have saved that 17 minutes waiting for a bus. How efficient and time saving.

But 10 minutes later, it dawned back on me that I would have spent 17 minutes inside a car looking for a parking lot inside Jurong Point during peak hours like this evening. So what difference would it made owning a car,the logical part of my brain shouts reasons back? As we are always so used to our personal comfort zone, once in a while we should really get out of it and experience something difference and see how we fare. Feeling like taking up the challenge like we are doing now? :)
