i woke up super late for the first day of school in the new term. my mom started yelling at me at 6.20am. my alarm didnt ring at the stipulated 5.30am.
i rushed like mad. mother helped me call for a cab. got a cab. came downstairs. saw the cab. walked towards the cab. suddenly, cab left.
i was just a few steps away.
furious, called the cab company and ranted. operator said the cab said i was a 'No Show'. i wasnt even that late. ok, maybe 2 minutes, tops. but he just left!
by then it was 7am. school gate closes at 7.15am. panic. i dont want to take the sing majulah xingxiapor outside the gate! on the first day!
i was still on the line with the cab company and the operator was desperately trying to despatch another cab to come pick me up. at the same time, i was walking towards the main road to flag any empty cabs (or maybe some kind-hearted drivers that might be willing to save a damsel in distress).
still on the phone. some call-waiting-musical-something playing on the background.
managed to steal a cab from a army boy! i feel very evil. but i am desperate. disconnected the call.
checked the balance on my prepaid card.
"you have 30 cents left on your prepaid card. please top up."
i had 18 bucks on the card the previous night before!! i wasted 18 bucks on a cab company which didnt despatch a cab to me anyhow!!
i am fuming. i got to school in time. but still fuming. 18 bucks means 90 overseas sms could be made.
90!!
what a way to start of a brand new day in school. bleah. i still havent had breakfast and i look pretty scary. (didnt comb hair properly)
