Today i went through a series of unfortunate events. But what interest me is that everytime i meet one, God was there to pull me out of it and give me hope.
So after school i made a call to my bb teacher to ask him whether i could go meet him so that he can sign my cca papers. He said yes. However i havent filled up the papers so i had to rush to the library and complete it. After finishing, i had to print it out but opps no paper... so i went to the comp lab and again no paper... and when i started to go crazy, i saw a girl with a stack of paper. It was that girl who aint exactly the prettiest girl. I was saying out so loudly in the lab that i needed paper and that girl didnt even respond though she had a huge stack of them. But luckily i saw and approached her for it. And man was she unfriendly. Seriously if she goes on like that, confirm left on shelf. So anyway she 'kindly' gave me the paper so i rushed to print it in the library. And bcos the printer was on the other side of the library, i looked like an idiot walking back and forth to make sure the print went right.
It was time to go to acsi at dover. Asked around for directions. Had 2. One was take some bus at the back gate then transfer. The other was to take the bus 165 or something outside the school and transfer to 74 at bukit timah. So i walked out of school in search of the bus stop. With adeline's amazing directions, and my lack of sense of direction in this foreign land called thomsom and bishan, i actually managed to find a bus stop. The thing was that THERE WAS NO 165! I started to panic and then it was going to pour somemore. At this moment, God showed me a sign. A bus 74 drove pass. And i was like OMG ISNT THAT MY BUS?! WHATS IT DOING HERE?! so i walked in the direction the bus came from hoping it wont rain til i saw another bus stop and this time it had 74!!! I amazingly got out of bishan!
Upon arrival, i was suppose to call my teacher to get him to pick me up at his condo so i picked up my phone, dialed the no. but no sound came out. I was puzzled. I looked at my phone. It was black. NO BATTERY!!! DIE! so i walked along his condo to find the damn entrance. and when i finally found it, thank God another person went in so i could follow along since i didnt have the card. Then after that i got lost inside. The damn place didnt have signs and i just couldnt find the stupid condo building. After walking in circles, i finally found it but guess what... i needed the card again!!! then i happen to realise there are 2 doors to the condo and the other door has more people so i went to the door and just when i reach the door, some construction guy came out so i quickly rushed inside. YAY!
Got to the lift and took out my phone to see what is the unit no. Oh i forgot my phone was dead. SHIT! So is it 06-08 or 08-06... I took my chance i tried 06-08. Thankfully it was right. Got it signed and left. Then i realised i forgot to ask to use the phone so my mum can come fetch me. So i started walking around the condo in search of a pay phone. Luckily there was one because i couldnt find the damn guard house. Called my mum to pick me up and then the worst thing happen, it started to pour... and bcos i had no idea where this condo was, i had to ask my mum to fetch me at the school.
Started to try to find my way out of the condo. Miraculously i found the guard house and the main entrance so i walked out. HOwever when i got out, everything looked odd. Where was i... So i turn to the left as i saw a mrt track. Walked in the rain til i was totally drenched. Came out and i found myself near dover mrt which i last remembered WAS FAR FROM ACSI! HOW THE HELL DID I GET HERE?! Then i went to the nearest bus stop praying that there will be a bus to acsi but no... dun have... luckily i used to try to take bus to school so i know that there are buses at dover mrt that go to acsi so i took a bus to dover mrt since all the bus at the stop i was goes to the dover mrt. Changed bus and found myself again at the same bus stop i dropped off from 74. Then i waited at the bus stop, with my book and my ipod. Finally a beep came and i was back home again to take a hot shower.
What an adventure.... Tell me im lucky..
