A terrible day!

Luck was not with me yesterday. Early in the morning when I was packing my bag, to my horror, I realized that I left my cash card in school. I knew that if my mum were to know it, I am going to get a good scolding from her. Sometimes, I am just so pissed off with myself for being so careless. It is no wonder my nickname is “blur sotong” among my family members. I quickly called for help. Eventually, Lei Sim was the one who went back to school to help me to get it back. Sadly, her effort was wasted as someone took it. I was quite disappointed. Ever since young, their teachers should have taught them to return found items to the right owners instead of keeping to themselves. If not, this is a dishonest act. This is surely another good lesson for me. I told myself I was lucky enough to lose cash card but not any important item like identification card. Anyway, I have decided to buy a new one for my mum and tell her the truth.

I left my house at about 10.50 a.m. yesterday to collect my uniform. My sis was kind enough to draw out a little map to guide me but eventually, I still lost my way. It was more difficult than I thought it would be. I guess we had a little miscommunication so I misunderstood her map. This surely proves that I am not a geographic student.

While searching, I asked quite a number of people. I was surely glad to meet them. I am wondering if there were about 10 people in total. Walking streets after streets, lanes after lanes, I was totally exhausted. I actually unconsciously moaned aloud at a road junction while waiting for the traffic light to turn red as a ready signal for me to cross the road. Within a flicker of moment later, I realized that I moaned aloud so I turned around and looked at other pedestrians. From the strange look of one of them, I was sure that he heard me. So, I looked around and pretended to look for a place. Actually, it was half true that I was looking for a place but I had no idea where the place is. After about 1 hour of walking, I finally found the place. I really cannot imagine myself staying in a much bigger country. I think I might take days instead. Anyway, it was not the end yet!

The time on my hand phone displayed 12.16 p.m. when I reached the office. I just felt a little relieved when I got to sit down and drink water. Then, a lady told me to come back at 2p.m. as everyone was still very busy with their work at that time. I was a little pissed off as the man who called, told me to go at any time. So, I asked her politely if I was allowed to sit down there until 2p.m. She did not agree. I guess it is one of the policies of the company which I do not understand. That moment I just felt like crying. Before stepping out of the office, she apologized to me. But, I left without a word.

I felt so lost when stepping out of the building because it was my first time there. I was afraid to lose my way. I dared not walk far. I decided to buy for myself a cold gassy drink. After a little distance of walking, I found a cold storage nearby. Then, I looked for a place to sit down until 2p.m.

After the collection of my uniform, I went to work. On the way there, I was not excited, neither was I reluctant. The place which I am working at is near my house. This is an advantage to me because I could spend less on transport.

What I will be doing for the next few months is totally different from my job for the past 1 year plus. After yesterday, I thought that I could like this new job and I am definitely going to miss it when leaving.
