Okay, before I get on with my massive rant regarding the torrid 24 hours which made up my 3rd May, I need/want to get this off my chest.
Actually, I'm not sure if I'm thinking too much here, or I'm making something out of nothing. I think I am. But anyway..
You know what, I actually typed two whole paragraphs out, but decided to click "backspace". Its probably wiser for me not to mention some things. Bah. I'm not making sense am I?

3rd May 2008, Saturday.
Lets read about my sad sad life now okay?
Alright.
My day begin disastrously even before it started. How is that possible you may ask. It is, when I set my phone alarm at 7.00 am, and through the course of the night, I rolled over and knocked it down. *Gasp*. As a result, the battery came out of its socket, and I ended up waking up 3 hours later than the time I set out to wake up at.
Okay. Thats fine. I wasn't late for my lunch meeting at Tampines.
Oh, but I was.
So the meeting time was 12.15 pm. I left my place at 11.15am, went to harbourfront as I planned to take a train to Outram and just zoom down to the east from there. What I did not plan for though, was to overshoot Outram Park station and end up at Chinatown. No biggie. Just take a train back down to Outram. Be about 15 minutes late. Thats not the biggest problem. It did become a big problem though, as while I was taking a train now from Chinatown to Outram, I missed the stop again, and ended up at Harbourfront, again. Ugh right? However is that possible. Its okay. Third time lucky. So I finally reached Outram Park.
Missed the first train there. Waited 7 minutes. Cool. Not so cool though, when I accidentally alighted at Simei instead of Tampines. At that point of time, I had -$0.24 in my EZ-link card, and thus had to find an ATM machine to withdraw money! Okay. I wanted to just top up $5, so that I would at least have $15 dollars for lunch and dinner and other miscellaneous. But, lo, and behold, the station worker cleverly topped up $10 dollars even as I was saying, "$5 dollars please". Great.
Made it to Tampines station in a fury, circled the extremely crowded Tampines Mall for 15 minutes before finding Cafe Cartel.
Went to TPJC to watch the Debate Finals. Left halfway to go to school and help with Dance Night Ushering. Was extremely unfamiliar with the area, so I took the bus which went to Tampines. Supposedly. Fell asleep in the bus, and when I awoke, I was at... CHANGI VILLAGE! Changi furikin' Village. Imagine that. Still drowsy, I took a bus back to TPJC. When I alighted the stop after TPJC, I wanted to call the I/C for the day to report of my imminent lateness. Alas, I realised that I actually dropped my phone in the bus. Yay right?
Was thus forced to take a taxi, where I was in fact, lucky enough to borrow the driver's phone to locate my own. Later on, I was instructed to go to BISHAN to claim my phone.
After the Dance Concert, I tripped down all the furikin' way to BISHAN to claim my phone, but before that, this SBS station worker forced me to write him a commendation. -.-
Anyway, that was my eventful/uneventful saturday.
How was yours?
