Late for first lesson of the module

today wake up as per normal and board the bus 168 at around 7.10am. the journey at first was very smooth, but the bus came to a stop at Sengkang, the time was 7.30. the traffic was very heavy and the bus was moving at a very slow pace. soon it start to rain very heavily. then jave sms me saying there was a accident at the TPE/SLE interchange that caused the heavy jam. when we reached jalan kayu, it was already 8.10am and even the traffic light at jalan kayu was down causing a minor confusion among the drivers. i saw the accident consisting a lorry truck, a hyundai 7 seated family car facing the opposite direction, and two cars. didn't actually know what was the caused of the accident, but i can assure that the family car skidded. even at SLE the traffic was heavy also, even though not as worst as the one at TPE. the bus actually reached woodlands interchange at 8.35 and i reached school at 9.00. i am already 30 mins late and there goes my 0.5 gpa for the day.

to deduct 0.5 at daily grade for lateness was actually very shiong, and unfair to those who stay at very far away. imagine u got A for the lesson, deduct 0.5 cause you to downgrade to B+. there is a huge different between A and B lei. it not our fault that we want to be late, if a traffic jam occur on expressway, there is really nothing we can do about it, we can't possibly ask the driver to skip the bus stop and speed towards woodlands.

but late for the first lesson of the module already gave my faci a bad impression of me, how am i able to survive the rest of the lessons?
