trains.

everyday ever since i've been here.. i've been taking the public transport. at first it was a lil weird because i'm not very used to relying on public transports. back home, without thinking, i call out "i'm going out!" and off i'll go in the boyfriend's car or (rarely) my own car. but here, here.... i have to plan my time and adjust it according to the train's time. if i'm late, i gotta wait. or if i'm gonna make it, i gotta walk faster or even.... run! because why? i choose to torture myself by walking to the train station instead of taking the tram. don't know whether i'm lying to myself that i can lose weight by walking everyday. but oh well... time will tell


last week, our classes finished early than usual. it was too HOT and everyone was falling asleep. so the lecturers said "okay okay... you girls can leave earlier since everyone is falling asleep." normally we would make it in time before the train arrive but one fine day... we were let off just a few minutes later. while we (the 4 of us) were crossing the train tracks to the other side of the platform... my friend shouted "the train is here! run!" and so we ran... i was afraid that the barrier would come down and hit us. so i ran faster. we ran and ran and ran and we were afraid that once we validated our card, the train would leave. but thank God for the people who were taking their time getting on and off. we made it to the train.

we quickly sat down because we were gasping for air. i felt like i couldn't breathe at all. then i realized.... one of our friend didn't run with us. to make things worse, i was the one who was walking together with her. aww man! i felt sooo guilty that we left her behind. but it was a funny experience as well. i've never ran for the train before and we were so silly because it's not like that's the last train for the day. there was another train who was scheduled to arrive bout 10-15 minutes more.

so we've learned our lesson. the next time after class, we're gonna walk faster than usual. we're not gonna take our own sweet time because i'm VERY sure that i'll never run like that (unless it's a necessity) ever again. it's just too tiring. so... that's one of the funny adventure during my first few weeks here =)
