It was one of those days again where I woke up with a very bad feeling in my stomach. I wasn’t having a diarrhea but I had a sixth sense that it will be a very bad day for me. -.-”
As I walked out of my house, all tidy and ready for a presentation to a group of McDonald’s managers, I thought it will be a great day!
When I approached the train station trying to dig for my handphone, I realised I left it at home. I battled whether to head home for the phone, or maybe not. So I decided with my journey to National Library thinking I would be able to survive a day without the phone.
So, while on the train trying to picture myself in the classroom, I came to a realisation that I DID NOT HAVE THE DESSERTS WITH ME!!
I can’t believe it at all! Deep within me, I was ranting at myself for being so forgetful and the next thing was trying find a solution out from this situation.
One one hand, I am obligated to bring the desserts. On the other, I was going to be really late if I head home. I needed a plan fast. In that split second, I wonder if it would be easy to grab a cab from Orchard cause I was already there.
Telling myself to go with my guts, I hopped off the train and went straight up to the nearest exit for a cab. At the same time, cursing and swearing at myself for having such bad luck.
The taxi uncle flew me back home and throughout the whole journey, I had to comfort myself that everything will be fine despite my early morning trauma.
In the end, I made it to the library in one piece and meeting the group of students made me calm down a little. Frankly speaking, I had done this numerous times while teaching in community centres and giving presentation to students, so this will be a breeze to me.
Going through the presentation was like vomiting my life experience to them but deep inside, I seriously wondered if I’ve bored them a whole lot talking about myself. I mean, come on, who would like to listen to another talking about him or herself all the time. Everyone need that 1 minute for fame right?
I’m really going too deep into this and I seriously need to go now. Catch you soon!
