A Series of Unfortunate Events

The time is 12.50am now, so rightfully I should address this as a past event coz it happened "yesterday". Ok there goes, yesterday's series of unfortunate events. I woke up late in the morning - which already was a bad start - and fumbled my way to the bathroom. Half asleep - as usual - in the bathroom turned out to be a real sleep inside - not all that usual. I opened my eyes and took a quick glance a while later only to realized that 20 minutes has passed and all I did was shower myself with water, face and body unwashed! Woke up immediately of coz and proceed to finish off the bathing process - complete with my ginvera green tea real spa de-stress shower gel plus neroli and orange with biogel in pink color - as soon as possible. Amazingly, I did managed to come out of the bathroom in time - smelling nice. Ok, checking the time which says 7.30am means I'm still pretty much in time for work. I went into my room, drew the curtains, slide my wardrobe door open and let out a small yell - my cousin's sleeping you see, such a considerate person me. This beige colored creature of a name that I do not wish to mention crawled - can I say crawl? is that the right word for its swift movement? - into my pile of new clothes!!!! Helpless and not wanting to be late - such a responsible employee me - I pulled out the nearest tee and jeans, flinging them hard along the way and dressed myself quickly. "I also cannot do anything now what, I must go work liao, wait lah hor. I come home then I settle it for you." I shivered to think of the ordeals my clothes must go through but nonetheless nod my head in agreement to my mum's response. Pulling my socks along, I stepped out of the house and "OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!!" My most idiotic sister had somehow left her heels upside down right outside our gate and I had stepped into it unknowingly. Members of my family, stopped whatever they were doing to study my actions for a moment then turned back and returned to whatever they were doing after like what, 2 seconds? Thank you for your concerns lor. The bus was already at the bus stop when I was downstairs so I hurriedly run towards it and hop onto it, trying to act cool at the same time. Maybe it wasn't such a bad day after all. Expectedly, I reached the MRT station at about 7.48am. It's so nice to be early. I can even walk slightly slower and act a bit cooler. I was up the escalator to the train platform at about 7.50am. There was a train on my left hand side - I can never tell which is A and which is B - filled with morning sickness people - yes, the inability to walk, stand, talk, think straight in the morning is a kind of sickness. Since I'm early, I thought, why should I even bother to squeeze with the crowd? Cool people like me needs my seat in the morning to continue with my beauty sleep. I turned right and waited at the platform for the next incoming train. The MRT PA system started to announce that there's a train fault and the train would be delayed blah blah blah. My ipod was blasting "Have a nice day". I turned to look at the train on my left hand side that's still not moving and secretly thank my intelligence for selecting this train. 2 minutes later, the train on the left moved. The PA system came on again. "...blah...blah...train fault...blah...blah...delay" was all I caught. WHAT? Isn't the faulty train already gone??? And so I waited and waited and waited a whole 15 minutes, listening to further ironic announcements from the PA system while trying to evade a sticky auntie behind me, touching me by accident with her ever fidgeting hands. "...please move to a less crowded area" What the?? What do they mean by a less crowded area? There has been no sight of any trains since the past 10 minutes, how is a less crowded area possible now? MRT staff, use your brains, use your eyes. "...the train has a SLIGHT delay due to a train fault..." my eyes popped out at the mention of slight. Do they understand what slight is to the morning working crowd, these MRT people with their butts glued to their station control downstairs? Anyway, since my eyes were popped out, I happen to notice a guy on my left doing the exact same thing at the exact same moment. Anyway, after the SLIGHT delay, the train did arrive in one big piece and I managed to get off at Clementi in a piece too, still smelling nice. When I finally board the bus, being the ever so considerate person that I am, I kept moving to the back. I moved and I moved till I realized, nobody else is moving anymore. Then I looked, up, down, left, right, I'm surrounded by people with no pole, no seat whatsoever to hold! I'm a swaying person - and a suay person - so I had to grab onto something else I'll fall flat on someone and definitely someone ugly! So what's a short girl like me gotta do? I straightened my left hand and reached - with difficulties - for the handle on the top. This tall guy next to me, made a look as if shocked to see a hand coming out from nowhere, looked down and looked extremely amazed to "suddenly" find a short being next to him. Yes, I'm short but you're a freak! You tall freak! Morning sickness is no excuse for being so rude. I hope you knock your head on the bus door when you get out. At least that will never happen to me!
