1st CA posting.

On Saturday, which was two days ago, I woke up at 6 am as usual as I had to go for my band practice in school. After boarding the bus, I fell asleep, and I slept all the way. When i finally woke up, I realised that i had missed the bus stop at which I was supposed to alight! Fumbling for my wallet, I rushed down the stairs, ringing every bell I saw. I had to walk all the way back to previous bus stop, and take the next bus. I wasn't late for band practice, but I was ALMOST. Band practice was long and tedious, and by the time I finished, it was already 1.15 pm. Straight after that, I made my way to my grandmother's house (my mom's mother) to have tuition with my cousin.

Since I was passing by Tampines Mall, I decided to buy a burger to reward myself for surviving band practice and also to prepare myself for the upcoming terrors of maths questions. And that was when I realised that my wallet had NO MONEY. EMPTY. BARE. So I had no choice but to go up to my grandmother's house to borrow money from my cousin to buy myself a burger. By then I had practically lost my appetite. o.O Anyway, I bought some bread from "Cake History" which was supposed to have chocolate filling in them. As I was biting into my last piece of bread, again, there was NOTHING INSIDE. HOLLOW. BARE. I clenched my fist in anger. I was LIVID AND PISSED. I bit into the bread so hard that my teeth sank through the bread and cut my gum. I managed to put on a smile all the way back to my grandmother' house while I ranted and raved inside.

I shall not include the horrifying 5 hours of crazy maths questions that I did. I'm actually quite proud of myself sometimes for surviving such terror. After that, I trudged my way to the bus stop downstairs, and took a bus to Bedok interchange. I was supposed to go and visit my grandfather (my dad's dad) as he had just undergone surgery. When I got there, THERE WAS NO ONE. EMPTY. BARE. My grandparents had gone out out dinner! I was so very upset that that I sat at the door step and stayed there for awhile before regaining my composure. I was finally on my way HOME. HOME WHICH I HAD NOT SEEN FOR THE LAST 14 HOURS. The bus ride was, of course, very 'intriguing' as the stupid television was not working. Well, half- working. There was sound without the image.

I almost died on the way home, considering the freezing air-condition blasting at my face and the almost uprooted seat which kept sliding off. There was a huge surprise when I got home! My parents were bringing me to have sushi for dinner! It wasn't so much of a huge surprise, but considering the very unlucky day I had today, what more could I ask for? =/
