late for class, again.
everything that could go wrong today, went wrong.
i know that punctuality is not exactly my strongest forte. but i do make an effort to be more punctual all the time. it's just that, circumstances are ALWAYS acting against me. really!!! take today for example.
I had a company law tutorial at 2.30 pm. So, since my journey to school takes only 40 minutes, I left home at 1.30 pm as I wanted to bind my notes along the way at the photocopying shop near my house. I didn't think that it'd take long cos the last time I had gone there to bind 4 sets of notes, it took the girl less than 10 minutes.
BUT.. i had to get some super old nyonya lah!
First, she opened the drawer right.. there were a whole set of those binding rings thingy lah of different sizes.. and she stared and stared and stared at them. After what seemed like ages, she finally picked up one ring. And scrutinized it! Stared at the ring somemore, before deciding that it wasnt the right size. Then went back to the drawer to stare somemore.
Wahlao can die man. She did that like 4 or 5 times!!!
Then right, while binding.. she took like so few pages at a time to punch in the holes lah! I was so exasperated man! And she really did everything soo super slowly. I felt like just telling her that I could do it myself. Alas there was a counter separating me from the binding machine.
Thennn while trying to insert one of the pages into the binding ring, she accidentally tore a small teeny weeny portion of the paper. I didn't really mind lah, cos after binding it wont be that noticeable. But wahlao, this nyonya ah, she went over to the photocopying machine to photocopy a new piece for me can!
She slowly walked there.. and slowly walked back. It was such a nice gesture that I had no choice but to smile a thank you to her when she finally gave me back my notes. But that shop is too expensive, next time I gotta find somewhere else to bind already.
Looked at my phone, and realised that it was 1.45 pm already!! wahlao.. need to hurry up man. So quickly walked to the mrt station. And the train going to jurong east was just leaving lah! and the next train.. was coming in 7 minutes! SEVEN MINUTES!!!
No choice right, went down to sit lah. I was wearing the beaded gold belt that my girlfriends gave me for my bday. annnd i dunno what happened, but one of the strings became undone and some of the beads started scattering all over the place! So i had to tie the string back again. boooo..
The train finally came.. got out at jurong east. and i saw the sign for the train going to boon lay right.. it said that it was only reaching in 5 minutes! wth?!?!?! all purposely acting against me one..
That wasnt all. At boon lay interchange, I was walking to the 179 berth lah. Halfway walking, saw that the bus had just arrived. So i started running cos it was already 2.25 pm and i didnt wanna be late for class. ran and ran and ran, and there was a girl in front of me running also.
and the stupid driver just drove off! when he definitely saw the other girl in front of me! and it wasnt like the bus was full lah! in fact, the first level only had 2 passengers! TWO! and the girl in front of me had reached the berth already, he still just drove off! freaking irritating man. i ran for nothing.
i think in the end, i reached class at least 15 minutes late. oh wells, i missed the self-introduction only. haha..
i need to stop procrastinating man. ive got to email my biz comm presentation to my tutor by midnight tonight. And guess what?
I havent started yet. =)
---edit---
i think my deadline was 12 in the afternoon and not midnight. i think im screwed. way screwed.
