12th august 2009. hmmmp!
There are days in our lives where EVERYTHING goes wrong and you just feel ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH! And I had one that sort today. Absolutely! Arranged chronologically are the eventful incidents.
1. Thanks to my lovely m1 service provider, my line is temporarily suspended till I give them my bank statement which holds my current billing address. Yes I am phone-less. I couldn't even call the customer service ppl.
Silver lining : I was in central lib and (not many NUS ppl know this but there is free phone service there.. shhhhh secret! =P)so basically that's how I got to know from m1 that they've suspended my account. brilliant!
2. I call my bank and ask them if they could send me a statement immediately and they say.. noooooooooooooooooo... It takes a minimum of 4 working days 'mam says a wanting to be polite voiced female whom I felt like strangling then and there! well what can they do.. they don't liaise with m1!
Silver lining : they say I can present any bank statement. awesum so i can just chuck them one of it from my room. m1 shops work till 9pm which gave me a solid 45mins to run to my room, grab the statement and rush to IMM jurong east!
3. Hostel. Guess what? my room doesn't open for lord knows what reason. I remembered it then.. I was meticulously trying to straighten my slightly bent key today morning in the lab. darn apparently it has to be bent to work properly. chis! this world is no place for perfectionists! the best part is I dint have a phone to call anyone! I knock on my neighbour's door and borrow her phone to call the Resident assistant.. and of cos yes abiding by the law of the universe, she doesn't pick up =/ I run to karthik's room praying hard that he would be there ..again looking of my luck so far, anybody would have guessed by now.. nope he wasn't. brilliant! Man how much I missed Jayu that moment just cant be described in words! I decide to knock on every door in the 1st floor and hunt for the RA.
Silver lining : The very 1st door I knocked was a room of a china PRC who barely understood what I was speaking. but he did make out that I couldn't enter my room. he SNATCHED the key from me and dragged me to my room.. then he started trying. first 5-7 attempts were bad. then he decided to oil it ( this is the point where my jaws dropped. how on earth did he have oil in his room I don't know! must be some Indian blood running in him. haha ) and TARAAAA.. it did all the magic. I officially add this random chinese guy to my angel list =P
I shall just get my phone reactivated tommorw! I realized that I panic A LOT.. I cant help it.. I've always had a very secured all-protected life. waiyip would term it as being spoilt. and as always I would die-die say NO! =P
See, my point is everything happens for a reason. Had that RA picked up the call, I would prolly have ended up paying $60 to change my lock. So moral of the story, every dark cloud has its silver lining. SO don't fret about the bad things that happen to you and move on! And its good to have oil in your room, you never know when it'll come handy ( my beloved notty friends, dont let ur imaginations run wild. =P )
