this morning was one that started out of sorts, well before the workshop started. a whole group of us were supposed to meet at 8 at woodlands mrt station. being the idiot that i've always been, i reached the venue at bloody 7.45. it's still early, i thought. then i started seeing heaps and heaps of innovians coming from the barrier thing, none of which were THE people. smsed jude, asking where she was then. at approximately 7.55, her reply was "i'm still sleeping. starts at 9.30 what." sensing that something was amiss, i replied "what nonsense? 8.30 lah you crap!" that must have immediately rang her alarm bells.
still, uncertain,i asked hama what the reporting time was. it was 9, she said. i replied, "then i come so early for what?!" she sent an apology stating that she'll tell me her side of the story on being late. justification finally brewed as pei chi soon arrived, not quite on time though. she was about 5 mins late but she's the least possible person i would expect to be one of the first to arrive. waited and waited until finally, princess hama came (no pun intended). waited a while more and then came shradha and her guy friend. then came jude with her hair untied as usual. sheesh. waited and waited for ct cause she did not answer our calls or reply our smses. we finally gave up and decided to head for the sports school as we were running awfully late.
headed to the taxi stand and started begging for mercy at the taxi drivers. very malu, i know. there were 6 of us, trying to squeeze into one 4 -adults cab. and i have a big ass, mind you. jude hitched a hike with an unknown group of innovians who were heading to the sports school as well. and she did not have to pay a single cent!! the remaining five of us were still negotiating with different taxi drivers to send us to a place which is just 5 mins away by car. still unsuccessful, we decided to split into 2, with pei chi and me in a cab and the other 3 in another. poor jude. she had to swallow her pride to ask for a free ride. i wouldn't be able to do such a thing. i applaude you, girl. we reached the sports school at 9.05 thinking that we were awfully late. an announcement came, saying that we were on time as repoting time was actually 9.30. miscommunication sucks, big time.
that's about how i started the morning. the workshop was okay, though a tad too boring for my style of studying. and bern, rina and wid were sooo funny, laughing and joking and all, that despite the horrible beginning, it ended on a rather high note.
