Almanac

Nothing beats a simple traditional breakfast at your neighbourhood kopitiam... 2 pieces of toast, 1 egg, and a cup of coffee.... Doing that while I am supposed to be at a lecture in school.

Bingrong was sick, Yibo didn't wake up on time, and I refused to go for lecture. Everyone was thinking of borrowing notes from one another, what could go more wrong.

Coming to the reason why I am having breakfast downstairs at 10am.... cos I slept at 4 and woke up at 9.30. Last night while I was asleep, my dad called me at around 2. His lorry had a punctured tyre and asked me to go down to help him change the tyre. I'm pretty experienced at that... the previous Civic we had did it twice to me... I went down, ready to go...

Next, maybe it's like a series of unfortunate events... my car refused to start... GREAT, a flat battery, without warning, it was absolutely functional 5 hours ago....
took a cab down, helped my dad with the tyre and yippee, it was almost 3...

came back, dismantled the freaking battery from the car and i went to sleep at 4. I left my lights on and slept on the floor, hoping that I would wake up at 7 to catch a bus to school... I did wake up but i gave up cos i know i would just end up sleeping in class. There's still the more Mission Impossible Math Econs 2 at 12... I'd rather catch more sleep and stay awake for that one.

Maybe we should have checked the almanac.... both of us shouldn't be touching cars early morning today. Talk about superstition... but life is always like that, things always go wrong at the least expected time... and when shit happens, it usually flows freely like you're having a diarrhoea...
