Beginning to believe

I am thinking that every alternate friday is a bad day for me. These are those days that you feel grouchy, feel that everything is just wrong and Murphy's Law is your best friend. When even the sunny day will make you grumble that its hurting your eyes and the rainy days make you curse that the clothes will not dry in time. This bad day also meant that wrong things can come and things can go wrong. And when you innocently thought that it may be an isolated case, you are wrong. It comes in a group.

What are the things that can go wrong?

1. Being in the wrong queue.

2. Gotten a lousy network.

3. Stupid contact lens that keeps drying up.

4. Headache.

5. No breakfast.

6. Bad lunch.

7. Too sunny.

8. Too cloudy.

9. Tired and listless.

Well the list goes on, with every fortnight experiencing a new kind of Bad Luck. Perhaps the reason why Bad Luck is starting to like me is because of the cool and good stuff I am getting. (MacBook, SCV DVR-set, 5 crappy MbpS network....) Well, nature has a way to tell me...."Kenneth...enough of Tai Zi Ye's life le!"

Yin and Yang. Balance.

I have decided to name the Bad Luck fridays I am getting.....Fribad.

Welcome to this week's first edition of "Fribad With Tai Zi Ye".

The Fribad started bad. I woke up feeling goggy and extremely tired. My eyes were sore and I simply cannot muster energy to drag myself out. I remembered I had a meeting with a friend of mine. I was really feeling terrible. Then to my horror. There was no breakfast. Sobzzzzzz. I decided to go hungry for the good part of the morning.

Then I turned on my computers and logged on WoW with one. To my horror, I cannot connect it or I got the LAG....It was horrible. The new network was obviously flawed. I called up Singnet and one of the technicians suggested that I use wire instead of wireless. ~~~Faintz~~~

I wanted a wireless environment. And now you are telling me to use LAN cable. Our conversation hit a point when I decided that he was not helping. Wasted effort, wasted telephone fee and wasted saliva.

Then I went out.

The friend of mine went ot cut hair while I shopped at Funan to get a router. What to do? Since the Singnet cannot help me. (btw, as I am blogging this, I saw a guy touching the side of lady's breast and powder-brushing the lady's cleavage, and all these while the lady was smiling and complimenting the guy for his fashion sense). Back to the topic. I was looking around, shopping causally. BUT the stupid contact lens was really dry. It almost fall out and it made my eyes really uncomfortable. Considering that it was the third day wearing them. It spoilt my mood. Totally.

I went over to Watson to grab a drink. Hopefully by hydrating my body, the contact lens will get some moisture.

And this world is full of strange people. A lady was ahead of me in the queue. She bought 3 packs of toothpaste and they costed S$12.75. Woe be on me, just because I was behind her.

This lady SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY opened up her bag. And SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY searched for her wallet. Then SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY pinch her wallet open. She SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY browse through her American 100 dollar notes. 4 S$10 notes, a few S$50 and other S$2 and S$5. She SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY took her time to come up with a best combination to pay for her stuff. S$12.75. Seriously, can't she just take a S$10 and a S$5 and pay? Noooooooo, it was a VERY TOUGH decision for her. It took some time for her to decide on a S$10. And she SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY decided between the 4 S$10 notes. Then she SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY returned her wallet back into the bag. Then she SLOWLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY scooped out a handful of coins and started to match and mix and mix and match the S$2.75. All these while I am so confused about the true meaning of life. Just for one pathetic bottle of mineral water.

Me and the friend of mine have agreed to meet at the entrance of Funan. I had to confirm with him earlier because my dear Handphone WAS REALLY LOW ON BATTERY. Crap man, I just charged it overnight and I did not use it that intensively for the day. Things really go bad. And it go worse!

So I was kind of worried that the friend of mine misunderstand the sms and instead wait at the escalator entrance to the second floor of Funan. After making sure that the friend of mine was not at the entrance, I proceeded to walk to the escalator entrance. This escalator entrance overlooks the traffic junction. By right I would have seen him coming over from the cityhall mrt station side. By left, I did not. I missed him. He too did not see me. Great.......

After dinner and a ice-cream, I need to go home to ward off the bad luck............

Till again next episode of "Fribad with Tai Zi Ye"........
