My day has finally ended. How i had been anticipating this week to end. And now thats its here, you cannot imagine the overwhelming relief i feel right now. And what a day it was.
When i got home this morning, i thought i'd just konk (its a word i invented. /konk/: verb, used to describe the instantaneous moment one falls asleep. I konked out on my bed when i got home last night.) but no, i didnt.
Instead, i had to go through what i would describe as the "WHY ME ESPECIALLY NOW" kinda situation. There i was, heading to my room, when i remembered to pack my bag in case i'd have no time to when i wake up. So i recalled having to bring this bunch of receipts from the SWAPS dialogue thingy. I needed to claim the money from the treasurer and the department. To my horror (what a cliched phrase), it was no where to be found. False memories were created and yes, i was fooled by them. "i put em all in a white envelope and left it in my file....no, on my table."
So i spent my time at 2++ am, searching for a white envelope everywhere. I even rummaged through my dustbin "luckily my sis hasnt cleared the bin for weeks", i thought. But oh no, the white envelope was not there.
And so, i started panicking. Resigned that the forces of the world was against me. That i was being punished. I called cheryl up and whined. Whined to karina and nirwan online. (come to think of it, what the heck were you guys doing up so late/early?)
And then, dunno why, i became numb. I decided to take a warm shower. It was then that I told myself, "what is money anyway but a material thingy...i mean its 200 bucks plus....i suppose this would be a painful reminder to be careful nextime..and NEVER EVER DEAL WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY AGAIN. And that i suppose i should absorb the cost and reimburse those involved. It was my responsibility".
And so i left the bathroom with a sigh. Ah well. Life's experiences. Went to pray before resuming my search....then...
It wasnt a white envelope i should be looking for!! its RED! i put em in an ang pow!! And suddenly, i remembered putting it in my BAG. and ta-da! It was there!
Moral of the story: Always take responsibility for your actions. Good things will come your way. Also, mental note: do not panic too fast in future. It wont help.
anyway, glad friday's over. My bro's picking me up in a few minutes....i hope.
so many things i wanna type...so little time (lib closing at 9).
Till next time then!
TGIF! i mean really!
