not that that Lemony Snicket’s book but rather my version of it.
Monday
Happily taking the bus to school until i hit a massive traffic jam along Braddell View for 45 minutes!!!! Had to get off the bus at Bukit Timah Road and get a cab to school, otherwise i will be super late for project meeting.
Damage done: $12.50.
Tuesday
compared to the other days, Tuesday was pretty mild. people just keep bumping into me, aunties pushing me out of their way to be the first to get on the bus and stuff like that. and my lack of intellect when i couldn’t answer a question in the ethics tutorial adequately. 
Damage done: loss of lots of epidermis cells and “face” in the front of the ethics professor.
Wednesday
My ultimate. First, it was a rainy morning and i had to carry an umbrella with me. Then i was wearing a skirt. I had so many things that I wanted to do before going to class - buy food, print notes and one other thing that i cannot remember, but certainly not what i actually did - FALLING ON MY BUTT with a 179-truck full of fellow NTU students in full view. I slip and fell on the grass patch (which is equals to mud and mud and more mud!) outside the entrance at the second level of SCI. I don’t even want to think if anyone saw what they are not suppose to see (read: underwear).
people just walked by…. until this guy just came and ask if i needed help or needed a tissue with a smirk on his face. Even though i know my butt was quite a view by then, i stood up, and said to him as cool as i can, “It’s okay, (smile). I can manage, I will go to the toilet (smile).” And when he turned his back at me, I RAN into SCI and dashed straight to the toilet. I threw my belongings into one of the cubicle, grab what is probably a month’s worth of toilet paper, wet it, and squeeze some hand soap on the it before locking myself up in the cubicle for the next 15 minutes trying to clean and clean the mud stains before finally giving up. Had to tie my sweater around my hips to conceal the stain as i walk to class. And oh boy, the stain, was at the place where girls do not want stains appearing.
But all ends well, thankfully the stain was not noticeable after it was dry. Otherwise, i would have to walk around with a sweater around my hips that is as long as my skirt and risk looking like an idiot.
Damage done: stained skirt, risk of being accused a flasher, more “face” lost and tremor to my poor butt.
Thursday
No school on thurs but had to go for a meeting with my FYP client in the evening. I waited for the bus for 20 minutes (going to be late!) , got frustrated, and decided to walk to the MRT station to catch the train. As I was walking down the stairs leading to the station, a clear, crisp voice was heard over the PA system “Dear passengers, please note that the train service to marina bay would be delayed by 10 mintues due to a track fault.” hahaha! I just froze there in the middle of the walkway thinking about what to do and how late i was going to be. Thought about taking a cab, but it was peak hour, traffic would be equally bad and the queue, as long. I figured out that the train would be very packed after that track fault or whatever. So i walked back to the bus stop. waited for another i-was-too-frustrated-to-count minutes for the bus to come.
I thought the worst was over, but i was wrong. There must be something wrong with the bus driver. the bus kept jerking and jerking and jerking and jerking. Then this guy came and ‘plonk’ himself beside me and took up so much space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IRRITATING! i was so near my tipping point. still, i kept my cool (image babe, image!) and was 30 minutes late for the meeting. Shat.
Damage done: late late late late late late late late late late late late late late
Friday
working. had to hunt high and low for certain prices of the items on the display cabinet. took so long to find. i think the customer was irritated. but really, it was all over the place! my friend gave me a bar of chocolate, it melted and it literally melted. not just sticky-melted but fluid-melted. you get the idea.
Damage done: no comfort food to tide me through a long night of reports and more reports!
Saturday
I am sitting here blogging. hopefully today would be okay. and tomorrow too. but honestly, i better get my butt moving to get work done before it becomes another day to add on to my series of unfortunate events. no, i don’t want my FYP mates coming after me for procrastinating. the result would be horrible. 
Damage done: time wasted on blogging when i could have been doing work.
