YESTERDAY WAS THE LUCKIEST DAY OF MY LIFE. *sarcastic tone btw*
i am going to write super long, because the whole day was FILLED to the brim with tragedies.
ok so anyway yesterday ah, i was having a sore throat but lynnette the brat insisted on having her birthday lunch yesterday, so i just went along to eat sakae with the family.
and they everything, all the heaty nice stuff also can eat.
and ME?
i sit there and torture myself with a pathetic bowl of udon.
felt like stabbing myself with the chopsticks lah.
they were super rubbing it in.
then later the stupid library at compass pissed me off, because they didnt let me pay my renewal money in cash.
they dont let me you know!!!
how come other library can you cannot??
you broke both your arms is it?? cannot reach out to take the coin ah?
i put inside your bra for you you want??
so i had to go to some rubbish machine and i stared at it super long to figure out what to press and everything, because there were ten million buttons plus no button that said 'pay ___'.
you have to go press 'check your account'.
how am i supposed to know i am supposed to press that you lousy instructionators!!
i didnt go there to check my account i went there to pay!
so after you check your account, they write there, in red, that your havent paid your renewal fee. oh what a crime.
then i say i pay by ez-link.
and guess what, after 5minutes of figuring out the machine, i thought i'd be done but NO, my ez-link card decided to play the devil's advocate as well, and come and show me that it contains $0.43
and the machine said, in red, again, OH YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.
i said fine, and i stormed off to get papa's cashcard.
plus the seconds time i went in there and the queuing, i took about 20minutes altogether.
and if i paid you by cash, i would have taken 5 freaking seconds.
ok first of all, i hate it when machines show you condemning messages in red.
who are you to come and 'ORHORR!!' me, you inanimate object!!
ok what is the word for it i cant think of it now.
ohOH, it's called denunciate. yes.
you are not my ahma you dont come and denunciate me.
even my ahma doesnt come and scold me lah!
i wanna go invent new machines like, including the mrt ones and atms.
and when you dont have enough money, they will just write there 'oh it's alright, top up your card as soon as you can, have a nice day.' ohoh in a nice friendly BLUE.
ok and secondly, i suddenly thought of something, when was it first implemented that libraries charged you for book renewals?
i only knew recently, cos zeh tell me, and i've seen some of my friends pay, but i remember when i was a kid, i everytime go library no need to pay when you renew one!
ok maybe it was mummy pay one then i dunno, but i renewed all the time and i am forever at the counter i do not see mum paying for a renewed book.
but whether or not it has been implemented since the dinosaurs roamed the earth i dont care because it is still completely and utter rubbish.
somebody tell me, why do we have to pay for book renewals? why ah?
i am not even returning you the book late you know, i came to your library on time.
i made the effort to get up off my ass, to your library, to tell you i need more time to read this, instead of just continuing to read it, then return it you a day late.
AND NOW YOU ARE CHARGING ME FOR BEING RESPONSIBLE AND CONSIDERATE??
and i dont see the difference.
all i am doing is returning the book, then borrowing it again.
do i have to pay for borrowing? NO. THAT'S WHAT LIBRARIES ARE FOR.
urgh whatever lah then continues my horrible day when i reach home and the hamster's gone, blah blah blah we shll skip that part i already got all worked up over it.
skip skip skip..
.. to the part where i am at dhouby. i am twenty five mins late.
you see, cos everyone else was gonna be late and i could only call xuying cos the twins are the only ones who're going to be early, aka the people who choose where to eat. xuqi never bring phone.
so like i was calling all the way from the mrt AND SHE NEVER PICK UP until i reach dhouby, then after i tap my card i just stood at the wall calling and being damn scared i was going to be stranded there. FOREVER. auughghhhhhhh!!
i tell you, i was completely trepid can.
i have a phobia of getting lost.
then luckily in the end i decided nicole, should be there lah.
so i heck and i call and she said they were are mos burger so i yes and i go.
then reached and i tried to murder xuying.
hahaha.
OUKAY anyway, it was bloody fast food and i was still having the sore throat.
so how? cannot eat.
and anyway i had no more time because i was late so i just milk tea and some cake that's in a cup.
then just when i thought i was in the safe confines of a fast food joint, when i thought it was impossible for my day to get any worse, IT STILL DID.
whoo.
the cake was tateless crap, and they had frozen red bean and ice at the bottom.
i almost died when i saw the red bean. i hate red bean. so i started picking out all the red beans frmo the bottom and eating the rest.
i tell you these people are smartasses ok.
they go put all the gross stuff at the bottom so you cant see it, then you go and buy.
you CHEATERBUGS.
at this rate i will be a devout cynic by like, year 2023.
can you believe it there's more.
so after that we went to little india and nicole say take 66 to acsb and we wait until ten million buses passed but no 66!!
so nicole went to check and i think something like actually we can take a few more buses, but anyway in the end we decided to take taxi.
so we split up and the twins and jiarong went first in a taxi.
so left me, nicole and jiehui right?
then we were there flagging a second taxi and some indian women came and stand in front of us and started flagging to their heart's content.
and we got damn pissed.
ok so for super long, neither of us got the taxi and i decided i needed to get them out of the way because the 3 of us were gonna be late so i was like: *really loudly, and on purpose*: NICOLE! CANT STAND IT LAH. SOME PEOPLE COME LATER THAN US, STILL TRY TO STEAL TAXI FROM US.
then suddenly, the indian woman who was flagging, she put down her hand and turned around to face her clan.
felt so victorious.
BUT THEN!
after a few more minutes of me, nicole and jiehui's futile attempts to get a cab, THE WOMAN WALKED BACK IN FRONT TO FLAG A CAB.
felt like pushing her onto the road and let her get knocked down by a lorry can.
i think right, cos when i said that, her conscience pricked her a bit, so she paiseh a bit, but then after a while, the guilt wore off so she came back to flag like nothing happened.
SO,
the 3 of us just went to cross the side junction beside them and flag there. so we are a road and 2m in front of them.
this time, we got 2 taxis but both DONT KNOW how to get to acsb.
and to make things worse, one of the taxis that we rejected, the indian women ran after it flabbily and asked the driver if he could get to THEIR venue.
then, they got in!!!!
life is so unfair.
so, we decided, the next cab, who cares if he knows how to get there we shall just get in, then direct him or smth.
and by the time we reached.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY OCCURED.
we ran to the ticket booth and nicole put her $12 there.
and the woman was like: oh sorry it's $15
and we were like: huh?? but i thought if we bought in groups of 5, it'll be $12?
woman: no but your friends already paid [ok we bought 10 tickets, the other 4 friends never eat with us.]*points to 7 friends*
me: then can we like repay, then each of us $12
woman: no. one ticket's $15
nicole: *puts $15 there and says to herself* this is damn cheat my money!
hahaha i wanted to laugh at that lah. her pissedness.
and then ah, i look at the woman, her face had that kind of guilty but dont wanna admit so act pissed face. the damn qianbian but weak face.
hahaha it was a damn funny face lah.
*supresses laughter*
then ah, around the last 20mins of the performance, i made this damn amazing discovery.
whahhaa. so i told nicole about it, and for the rest of the... OKAY IT ENDED UP AS A FREAKING TRAGEDY TOO SO I SHALL NOT ELABORATE.
also because i am getting tired of this rant on my full-day-catastrophe.
ahhahaha. bye.
the world is conspiring against me and me and only me.
nette posted it up.
