Beneath the great wall

Tired. Sleepy. Crappy.

Chem tomorrow. I want the hall! air con is so nice.

Oh yes I forgot to blog about what happened yesterday.

Apparently the canal behind house (route which I walk home by) has been blocked by some construction work. Not exactly blocked by they used this barricade to block my house from the canal. (one whole long great wall of PJC). The road is still accessible, just that I can't use it because I have to walk like another 20 minutes to make a big round round the barricades.

By right, the canal behind PJC is not accessible mainly because construction is going on. They blocked the road to the entire path but there was a tiny door for the workers and people involved to go in and out ( no use trapping themselves in right? ). I sneaked in when they are not looking and apparently I set myself off on the path which was half bulldozed. It was a stinky fifteen minutes walk home.

Imagine if you can, I was walking along this pathway which leads to my house. And this pathway is being surrounded by a barricade. Somewhat or another, I expected that there should be another mini door somewhere along the path where I could go to the other end of the barricade and have access to my house. But freaking wrong I turned out to be, there was none.

I had several options. First thought was how long would it take to get across by a detour. Say 15 minutes more? That's is 100% of the initial time, not worth an investment. I begun to contemplate climbing over. seems feasible initially until I realized there were pins on the wooden shelves that support the barricade. It was so intimidating that I let go of that idea.

Then it came to my attention that there was this approx 25 centimeter gap consistently beneath the wall. (it's not barricaded entirely top to base) After all, it wasn't really a full fledged barricade. I could see under it. I tested waters. stuck my whole foot in and it could go in. It was about the height of my crumpler bag standing in average position (average puffiness). My feet could go in, so I assumed by head could fit in. I tested, it could. I started worrying about my butt and shoulders. but apparently I decided to crawl through the tiny gap.

And guess what, I was partially stuck. And then some joggers on the opposite end had priceless expressions and some were waving at me. I looked like a fool but I was determined that I was being creative. And granted, I got through in no time. Within a minute of squeezing. My shoulders did hurt a little. and there was a tiny hole (due to the friction) on my uniform. (the bottom of the barricades are kind of rough).

That was how I saved 15 minutes. It was no easy feat. I'm no skinny man, and definitely I was feeling so good when I crawled through. Sense of accomplishment?

Tomorrow I hope to get transported home. So that I do not have to risk my life walking by an under construction road, and crawling to gain access to my own house.

Priceless memories.

My msn wouldn't sign in for some reason.

I'm really tired.
