What a morning!

I woke up today as usual and was running just a little later than usual mornings. Nevertheless, i still had time to do my daily routine without much fuss. When i came downstairs and went to my car, i realised the windscreen was cracked. Something or someone had hit the windscreen and the line was pretty long. I had no choice but to replace it and if it is insured and with any luck, i would only have to pay $100. Sigh, have to probably trouble my dad to see to it.

Well, my dad drops me off at Bedok Central to wait for the company bus in the mornings. As i arrived there, i knew something was wrong cos i did not see any of the usual familiar faces. True enough, a kind elderly indian lady came and told me the bus has left like 5mins ago. I looked at my watch and i knew i was on time. The bus came way too early. I was going like "hmmm, what a way to start a Monday morning!" I quickly smsed Nicole to confirmed if the bus had indeed left.

So, i had to take a cab to work and i reached here at 8am and it cost me $17.80! And true to Monday blues, i only got $50 note in my wallet and the taxi driver told me he had no change. I was like great! Just great. So, i ask him to wait and i went up to my office to see if i could find any money lying somewhere! hahaha! There was no one in as it was so early and nope, there was no money lying around, except for some coins at Denphie's table. So i went around to approach the cleaning lady, begging for some small change but no one had. The taxi driver was still waiting and i was like panicking. Come to think of it, i dun know why i was so anxious. The taxi driver shd be more anxious than me actually.

Anyway, i said a quick prayer and i thought maybe i can go to the ATM to withdraw some money. I rushed out, and i met this new HOP from Science and Tech walking and i wasted no time to ask him for money!haha! Thankfully, he had small change and i could finally go down to pay the taxi driver.

As he drove off after i paid him, i then thought to myself "okay, that's settled. Now to pay back the HOP. So, i went to the ATM to withdraw $20. And true enough, on the screen were the words "The machine can only dispence $50 note". I was like "Come on! Kaoz! Wah Liew! Give me a break!"

At that time, i paused, closed my eyes, prayed and gave thanks to the Lord. So, i decided to go to the canteen and buy something. I felt sheepish to buy a packet of sweets like 50 cents and pass the uncle $50. So, i decided, might as well make the best of the situation. I bought drinks for my entire department, including the nice HOP who was i think also too paiseh to say "no" to me cos he saw the desperation in my eyes. Maybe he was afraid i would rob him or something with my body language! haha!

Thus, ends the morning adventure! There's still my car issue to be settled but oh well, its been a hectic and eventful morning! I am glad some of my colleagues were thankful for the drinks. Cindy said its exactly what she needed. I was glad i was able to make someone's day! =) Oh yeah, and i finally received Nic's sms reply. hahahaha. She said the bus has indeed left early.

I decided to blog this first cos when i opened my email, i really regretted coming work today! Lots of stuff waiting but i thought i did take some time to stop and smell the roses and blog this!

Okay, back to work and i ask the Lord to continue to bless this day and everyone!

oh yeah, one more thing. After all this, i had a tummyache and the reason i am blogging this is just as i was about to unbuckle my belt in the toilet there was NO TISSUE paper at all! Wau lau, imagine if i was like halfway.....kaoz! and to make things worse, none of the cubicle has. Someone has stolen all the tissue paper. I was thinking if i had to, i will have to sneak in the ladies toilet but giving the kind of morning i am having, i probably would enter the ladies and find some lady would be adjusting her bra or something etc in front of the mirror and she would scream! haha...(thankfully, there was still some left at the handicap cubicle at the end of the men's toilet)

haha, okok, back to clearing work! It looks like its going to be a real busy day! sob sob! =(

But thank God for this is the day that He has made! =)
