so was it bad luck or just bad karma?
within minutes after i've left my home, bad luck grabbed me by my hands and refused to let go. ):
i was crossing the street in a hurry when *piak* my right charles and keith slipper suddenly felt strangely loose. it was sooo unexpected. i was thinking "shit.. dont tell me.."
and hoho, my greatest fear came true: my slipper snapped! it's quite new. i bought them only a few months ago (on a friday the 13th in Oct). i was sorta stranded stupidly on the road divider. it's quite dangerous to just stand there so i made my way to the other part of the street with my right foot bare.
intending to give dad an emergency call and ask him to bring down a pair of pumps for me, i dug into my bag to look for my mobile. searched frantically for it but it just wasnt there - i left it at home! perfect. i had to run after a lady and borrow her mobile. great thing was, I FORGOT MY HOME NUMBER. yup. how "lucky" could i get?
i really had to walk back home with my right foot bare. the only thing i could thank god for was that there were only a few people walking around my neighbourhood. i would have died of shame if this all happened at mid day.
it was a mad rush. because of all these crap, i was running late for my econs class. i cant be one minute late or else my "lovely econs tutor" will lock the doors on me. i had to take a cab. i had no choice. the cabby was nice. he gave me... a ten cents discount. the cab fare was $9.10 but he charged 9 bucks. yes - on a normal day, i'd think a ten cents discount isnt an issue. but yesterday, when it felt as if the whole world was against me, the ten cents discount made me a little comforted. i mean, i was really so down in luck i could almost die of depression.
luck really isnt on my side lately. the night before, my printer seemed possessed and just kept jamming. at the same time, i had a hard time swallowing the fact that a pretty important email that i sent never got received by eugene for some strange reason - and i didnt have a back up. i dont even know who to be angry at. And i dont like my new neighbour downstairs. they moved in on sunday. sincce then, ive occassionally caught them they looking up into my room when i happen to pass my window (the kitchen window sorta faces my bedroom window). great, so i have voyeurs as new neighbours.
hopefully the bad luck fades by the time common tests start. i dont wish to turn green in the exam hall upon looking at the econs test paper my "lovely econs tutor" set. already she said before in the LT that if we are unprepared for the test, our faces will turn "as green as huiru's green top". so.. if i flunk badly, she may crack some silly joke about my face turning green.
i vividly remember the first lecture we had with her, she told us to take down a certain date and time. we took it down... and she said almost 90 percent of us will make it there. and that date we took down, mind you, was the date of the retest. ok so back to the thing about common tests and all, something tells me, I NEED ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD (if not i'll prolly be retained in poly; but which joker - apart from nick - spends more than 3 years in poly...?).
i know i sound rather bratty and whiney in this terribly post. thanks for bearing with me. *takes tissue and sniffs*
Y lots,
