Sad sad day today...woke up this morning for my sports psychology paper only to discover that my lappy "died" overnight...it was a peaceful "death" i guess, since it died while in "sleep". It said " Unable to locate Operating System", anyone know what caused its death? I guess I can only resurrect it when I'm back in Singapore cos the local docs ( the ones in the library) are too poorly equiped to save its life, so I have to bring it to the A&E aka the ER ( some Computer shop in town). And I'm not gonna freaking pay money when its still under warranty!! Thank goodness Lisa n Judy are away in Belgium now, so they have kindly lent me their lappies to tide over this depressing period 
And nope thats not the end of my depressing day....its a DAY...After discovering the "death", I made a few phone calls to convey her death back home and USED up all my phone credits left! Another sad thing.....cos theres no point in topping it up anymore since I'm leaving pretty soon. Which mean, I can't call HOME! Thats SAD THING number 2...
SAD THING number 3 was seeing Ingo leaving, yeps EVERYONE is gonna leave or has left.....but i was too depressed over my lappy's unexpected death to bid Ingo a cheerful farewell! Ingo> Hope you have reached home safely!
Then its on to my SAD thing number 4.....picked up the bottle of "FRESH" milk to make my lil choc. cereal and i made sure i checked the expiry date....cos things in my kitchen seems to expire really fast. "Ok label says, 13th June....Can drink" my already sad mind was thinking. So I happily poured it over my cereal and ate.....first bite...ok taste buds too numb to notice anything....2nd bite....Hurmz taste funky...3rd bite.....Better check the label AGAIN....4th Bite....Hurmz still not suppose to expire so sud be fine....5th Bite....inspects the bottle...okies no lumpy stuff.....6th bite....ok it is still as SOUR as my first bite. So off it went into the dustbin and I prayed my tummy wud be fine for my morning paper.
Well, with every Yin, theres always a Yang, so it was great that my SAD THING stopped for awhile to give me a lil repreive from my morning disasters. The friendly bus driver picked me up this morning! He's friendly cos he gives us FREE bus rides! So that cheered me up a lil * see it isnt really that hard to cheer me up!* Then the Sports Psychology paper was an exact carbon copy of last years, so that upped the CHEER factor more! I finished it within 40 mins when it was a 2 hr paper, but decided to stay a lil while more to wait for Eric and Ali who were sitting around me to finish theirs. In the meantime, decided to read the dictionary which the school has so "kindly" placed on my table & eric's too ( Seems that only WE had the dictionary). Anyway, realised that they had given us an unfair advantage cos the exam questions actually asked for some definitions which we could have relied upon the dictionary for. But still find it kinda amusing that I get a dictionary... Don't this people get it that my FIRST language is ENGLISH! Okies, my English ain't that perfect but hey, dun think its that bad till i need a dictionary rite! Feel kinda discriminated that we have been singled out for dictionaries...But that aside, the paper went fine!
After the paper, went down to the tax office to claim back my taxes! Yeah, got a job in my school cafe & bar (which explains my no-updates blog) and they TAXED me! God, i earned like 168 pounds and they taxed me 20 pounds! Thats about 10% tax....its not even a CPF contribution which still remains MY "money". Yeah so I better GET BACK my tax!!! So yeah, Tax department says to wait for my next pay slip to check if they have refunded my tax money!! They better...*haha*
Next up....everything went downhill again. Ali left! Yep left bath for good! Had his last lunch in Bath with him in Judy's kitchen, which we all cuden eat much....Then it was off to his place to finish some packing, and then lugging it off to the coach station * Baggage count- 6 Items-* I will be seeing Ali back in Singapore so things wasn't that bad for me, but can't say the same for Judy.... then again, life in bath without Ali around seems weird, everywhere we went, whatever we said, kinda reminded us of him with us. So yeps, thats sad thing number 5!
Sad thing number 6.....bumping into the Spanish gurls and discovering that they too were leaving pretty soon too! It was like BAM BAM BAM....all bad news coming at the same time....everyone's LEAVING except ME!!! I'm like the last to leave here......i think i rather be the first...
I think this upcoming 2 weeks would be a pretty sad and nostalgic one, cumulating with Poopy's departure....
Damage Count:
