i cldnt be more unlucky than today. i had so much of the piss-me events i can film "a series of unfortunate events". blah
the starting of my "movie" was to wait for 20mins to pass something zr. then later i waited 30mins for viv whom i going out with. after walking so much in along orchard road, i realised i will somehow be late for work. i contacted with wr earlier on how to go to bukit panjang plaza from orchard...
i left viv at far east and decided to used the underpass to get across to wisma, then to realise i had came back to the same side. shucks. then i took the underpass again. i have only taken bus to orchard less than 3times and i cldnt find any busstops outside taka like wad wr had mentioned. after walking straight, i turned to hereen and board a bus. before the next stop, i realised it was going the wrong direction. >.<
so unfortunately i alighted at meridian and called wr and then walked all the way to park mall to take the correct bus. as if i wasnt unlucky enough, 15mins later i noticed the bus actually stopped opposite far east! omg, and i was alr late for work.
on the bus, every minute was precious, i hoped so much the bus cld speed because i was 30mins late then. BUT, so unfortunately, this auntie who checks the card came. i showed her my bro's ez-link card and she gave me trouble. HELLO, my brother and i, we are students? i even showed her my IC to prove that im a student and a sister of my brother. i told her i had misplaced my ez-link card and have yet to replaced another one! alright, at tht time i got so emotional i actually cried(why shld i not?). she said it's the "LAW"(and she pointed to me the line where it's written on the card, but i cant be bothered) which i thought was utterly ridiculous and demanded me to pay cash. wth? so i had to pay two times luh.
mayb that woman hasnt caught anyone for years, so had to get alot from me. i gave her a dollar coin and she recorded my brother's card! by then i had so many people's stares fixed at me-i was so embarrassed. she "kindly" explained that she is "very kind" as to not retain my card(probably cuz i was crying).she also said that if i had lost my card, i shld be paying adult fare. i cldnt stand any longer in the bus and got off when i thought i had to alight. and tht stupid person returned me 40cents change and a receipt. wth. i alighted and wth! i had to walk 2 mre busstops to reach the plaza!
HOW UNLUCKY CAN I GET?!
just ytd, something similar happened to me too. i paid 55cents when i board the bus and the stupid driver asked for my concession card. I DONT HAVE! he then asked me to pay adult fare. another LAW of theirs huh?! i paid all the coins i had left and still 15cents short. but he wldnt let me go. some very kind uncle helped me pay another 20cents more. i thanked him but he didnt hear. again, i was super embarrassed. the auntie was there saying that i didnt understand wad "concession card" is. O.O urgh. cant anybody see that im a student?! or they just want to be stupid?
coming back to wad happened today, my mum said she was heartbroken to hear me cry on the phone. i walked so much my feet had blisters(even though i waxed my shoes before i went out). alright, if that stupid auntie wanted to be so jing jing ji jiao, she she had the receipt printed that i paid 55cents when she took 60cents from me? and why did she charge me student fare when 'IM SUPPOSED TO PAY ADULT FARE'?
i just cant understand the 'law' today; and the drivers are just another bunch of bullies. who likes to have their concession card lost?
