8:42 PM
it was a 'great' day
assignment dateline:
2 pm today.
(note: i think i shd compile all my stories on the days when my dateline overdue. would definitely make it a very memorable moments for me)
well, i admitted that i started out late yesterday.
was looking around for case studies and yet i couldn't.
just when i thought i'm about to jump off a cliff, a bright light was shined upon on me, and
lo and behold it was my brother coming out to save me! man, why didn't i think of him?
(note: marketing assignment.
my bro works in a marketing research firm.
see the link? ;) )
i was happy when i finish collecting my info at about 11pm last night. was planning and drafting on my whole assignment until about 6am this morning ... and then started to type out what i've just drafted until
10am in the morning (it was only 4 pages).
did i mention that my dateline is at about 2pm?
anyway, guess what?
because of all these @#$%@#$ bugs in my comp, it shut down some of my programs ... including my microsoft word!!!! and guess what??
I DIDN'T SAVE THE FILE!!!!!!! how smart can i be right?
(ironically, i read the latest blog from michael ooi complaining about spy wares ... tell me about it. hehe)
nope, couldn't retrived it.
because of those freaking bugs again, it deleted that retrievable copy.
so i'm
back to square one again.
perhaps someone up there likes me, i manage to finish everything by 12+pm.
i also think that i've done it better than my previous ones, so i started to print out my stuffs thru my comp at 1pm. unfortunately, my printer
screwed up on me too.
(note: countdown one more hour)
left with no choice, i called my friend who lives in sunway, and asked whether i could used her printer. so off i go and leaved my house. but unfortunately again, there was a
jam!! while i was stuck in a jam, it was
@#$%^&* hot, and my air-con wasn't working!! i was sweating all over in the car. by the time i reached my friend's place, it was already
1.30+pm.
of all times, my friend has just reformatted her comp. so she needs about another 5 minutes to fix everything again. and coincidentally, her laptop has no floppy drive, so she had
to use her bro's comp, to send the file.
oh, this is classic.
in her bro's comp, my floppy disc was deemed to be
"not formatted" so i couldn't open it. i refuse to print in my uni as the queue was freakingggg long, and to find parking space was freaaaaking long too. so my friend suggested to go to her uni in
SS15, to print out her stuffs instead.
all right, things go well ... managed to reach uni at 2.05pm!
this is where i set my watch about
10 minutes behind, so that i could argue with my tutor that i was actually on time according to my watch!
mission done: manage to hand in. (thankfully)
in the tutor room:-
tutor: ok, take a seat for the tutorial
(he knows i skipped his class this morning)
me: oh, but sir, i can't! i got class!!
(
it's a lie. well, not entirely, just that i plan to skip my finance class too and chill around mcdonalds actually.)
tutor: oh, but u didnt go to tutes this morning right??
me: yeahh ... but sirr, nvm larr .. since i've attended ur tutes for the past 3 weeks!
tutor: ohhh, like that also can?? haiyaaaaa, go go!!
(his hand was shooing me out)
me: bye sirrr!!! cyaa!
(in a cheerful voice)
after chilling out in mcdonalds:-
me: *switching on the ignition*
car battery: *dead*
me: *switching on again*
car battery: *dead*
my fren: wahhh, can't start ah??
me: yalorrr .... aiyoooooo .... .. *pulling a sad face*
(5 minutes later, after bathing with sweat again in the car)
me: *sigh* ..... today's not my day lar ....
(at the same time, my car battery starts again)
me and my friend looked at each other in surprised.
me: come, let's buy lottery.
back to uni for my law lecture:-
me: yayy! got parking spot!!
fren: u sure can fit?
me: yeah, i'm sure
(i said it confidently)
me: *park nicely*proud* .....
(then all of a sudden ...)
car bumper: *BOOM*!! -->
i banged the curb. =(
