Hi guys! I am posting again! But today.. I am not posting for the sake of posting, neither is it because I have not been posting for the last 6 months. Today, I am posting because I wanna recount a very unlucky day for me. Yesterday. Note to all: You guys need not read this post if you don’t want to. I just wanna type this post because yesterday was a very unlucky day for me and I guess it would stay with me for quite some time. But of course, it would be nice if you all read it..(:

It all begin with me going for dance yesterday. Dance was supposed to start at 9am but the seniors want us to reach at 8am to warm-up. From the experience of the previous dance practice, warm-up and self-practice only commence at around 8.20am? Hence, I decided not to reach punctually for dance yesterday. This is only a part of it, there’s more to come. I was sleeping on the bus, as usual. Just a few stops before I was supposed to alight, I woke up to check where I were. Seeing that there were 2-3 more stops before I reached, I close my eyes and went back to sleep. Frankly speaking, I didn’t intend to go back to sleep, I just wanted to close my eyes. But I guess, I had fallen asleep. As you may have predicted, I missed my stop. When I woke up, it was only 2 stops after the bus-stop I was supposed to alight. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that and alight in time. I was still sleepy and did not know where I were. What more, it was raining quite heavily, the windows of the bus were filled with water droplets which makes it very hard for me to see where I were. The place seemed unfamiliar to me and I wonder where I were. It was just then I realised that I had missed my stop. My first instinct was to alight from the bus as soon as possible and to take the same bus back from the opposite bus-stop. Since I had never missed my stop before, I did not know where the bus was heading to. Unknown to me, the bus was actually heading towards a construction site where it is pretty remote. Yes, there was where I ended up. The bus-stop where I alighted was not even a proper bus-stop- it doesn’t have seats, it doesn’t have a shelter. It was just a place where they call it a bus-stop and buses just alight passengers there. Like I say above, I wanted to take the same bus back from the opposite bus-stop, but the opposite bus-stop was nowhere to be seen. The construction site completely blocked out what was behind it and there was no prominent way for me to get to the opposite side. There was no overhead-bridge. There was no traffic light. Nothing. There was no way for me to get to the opposite side. I was practically lost. I opened my wallet to see if there was enough money for me to hire a cab back to school. Yes, there was $6. I tried to raise my arm to flag for a taxi, but to my disappointment, all were hired. I was a little wet from looking out for taxi as it was raining and I do not have an umbrella with me. I decided to go two pillars away to hire a cab instead, since there is a mini shelter there, it’s better than nothing. Just then, the bus that I took to get here, arrived at the bus-stop. Upon seeing the bus, I didn’t thought of anything as I was still hope against hope of taking a cab back to school. What I didn’t know then was that taxis do not usually stop there- taxis that passed by that area were all with passengers and they just passed by that area to get to their destination. After some time, I was still waiting to hire a taxi.. Quite some time had passed and I was still here. I was afraid of being late for dance since my dance instructor has warned some people, whom were late the previous time, not to be late again. Again, the bus that I took to get here, arrived at the bus-stop. I was in a dilemma. I did not whether I should take the bus a not as I did not know where the bus would end up, but at the same time, I know that it was hopeless waiting for a taxi. When I finally made up my mind to take the bus, I ran to the bus-stop. But when I reached the bus-stop, the bus left. Haix.. What a miss. Then I walked back to where I was at first, which was 2 pillars away. Just then, a taxi with no passengers, passed me! I wanted to run for it but it was too late. Gosh! How unlucky! Just then, my eyes got a glimpse of the information of bus routes. Usually, the information of bus routes are on a notice board. But this one was on a short pole, in a form of a triangle, out in the rain. I wanted to see what was the last stop for the bus that I took here. Unfortunately, it was out in the rain and being blocked by a dustbin! There was no way for me to see it. I roughly saw that there were only 5-6 stops to its final destination. Hence, I decided to stand at the bus-stop to wait for the bus, even if it means to get wet. Buses passed as time flies, but it was all not the bus that I wanted to take. After what seemed like forever, the bus that I wanted take, finally arrive! God. I took a 10mins bus ride and guess where I ended up? Toa Payoh interchange! Omy, never had I been to Toa Payoh interchange before and here am I because I had missed my stop. Luckily, the waiting area for the bus that I need to take was right in front of me when I stepped into the interchange. Ooh.. The interchange was air-conditioned. But that’s not the point. In less than 5mins, my bus arrived and I took a 10mins bus trip back to the bus stop where I was supposed to alight. This is not the end of the story! As it was still raining and I did not have an umbrella with me, I made my way through the rain throughout the 10mins walk! Gosh! I was drenched from head to toe! How I hope that at the moment, there was someone who was kind enough to cover me under your umbrella. Nah.. It was not that romantic and I am not that lucky.. Sad. Hahs, actually I modified the story a bit. I was only dreaming of Hyunjoong oppa and/or Jaejoong oppa coming over to me and covering me under their umbrella! =p Hahs, what a dream! How unrealistic! But that’s not the point. Finally, I reached school on the dot at 9am for dance. But my dance teacher was already here at around 8.36am as my Seconday1 Level Head called me just now when I was at Toa Payoh interchange. Haix.. I am seriously very unlucky yesterday..! But are you thinking that this is the end of the story? Not that easy on me! Gosh. After dance, I went home and sleep. And guess what? I totally forgot that I have got piano lesson at night at 6.30pm! Hence, I didn’t set alarm and went into a nice deep sleep.. Hours later, at around 7pm, my house phone started ringing and ringing and ringing.. Non-stop. How irritating! Reluctantly, I got out of bed to answer the phone. It was my dad and he told me that the music school had called my parents, asking them if I was going for piano lessons. He said everybody tried all ways to get through but to no avail. Then I told him that my phone was silent and I was sleeping. Oops! He told me to call my mum to see what my piano teacher says. I did as he told. My mum told me that my piano teacher was quite angry with me as she has been waiting for almost an hour. Oops! Sorry! But there was nothing I can do. I was just that unlucky yesterday. Haix.. The End. Thanks for reading my long-winded story! It’s for my reference. Bye! Love Ya! xD
