Typhoon Signal 8.

I woke up this morning and realized that the typhoon signal 8 had been hoisted – meaning that I didn’t have to go to work (at least for the duration that it was being hoisted). But because my sister was actually due to fly back to Singapore this morning, she was a bit upset about the typhoon, thinking that it might disrupt her flight. For a start, all bus services were stopped, meaning that she can’t be taking the airport bus, so in the end she had to take a cab to the train station, and then took the train to the airport. Oh well, weather is really unpredictable.

For some reason I was feeling very tired, so when I was back home after seeing my sister off to take a cab, I went straight back to sleep. I woke up at about 1 for my lunch (ended up I could going go to the supermarket and get some microwavable food). Because it was kind of cool outside with the heavy wind, I went back to sleep again, waking up occasionally to check if the typhoon signal 8 has been lowered. The deal is that if the signal 8 has been lowered, we would have to go back to work, provided that the office hours of that day is not going to be over by the time we reach office. So when the signal 8 remained hoisted at 4.30, I was quite relieved as it technically meant that I didn’t have to go back to work! I happily continued my sleep.

To be absolutely honest, there were supposedly quite a few things that I need to be doing in office, but I don’t think anyone would complain with an unexpected day off in such a way. Of course that would mean more work to be done tomorrow! But at least I know I’ve gotten quite a bit of rest today, so I should have more energy for tomorrow!
