Okay the last few days have been A Series of Unfortunate Events (sorry Lemony Snicket) for me.
First up, I lost my voice, and thus had to endure laughter and ridicule by my colleagues. Geez.
Then, I fell sick. Then, my phone started giving me problems, first by rebooting itself whenever I tried to type an sms, then the screen shone weirdly with a message saying 'Test Mode'. Subsequently, it became 'Contact Service', and finally, it inevitably shut off completely, and I couldn't even switch it on! Whatthefish. So I thought, 'What's the worst that could happen?', I went home, only to find that I didn't have a spare non-camera phone. So I borrowed my brother-in-law's Nokia 6610, and all was fine and dandy.
The next day, my OC came running up to me to tell me that I'd just been posted to Quebec Company. WHATTHE...! Here I was, laughing at Nabil for getting posted to Zulu Company, 4km inland next to the jungles, and now I'm gonna be his next-door-neighbour. To make things worse, my CSM said I'm gonna be a platoon sergeant in the new company. WTF!!! I'm one of the most outspoken specs against being a platoon sergeant, and now, I'm gonna be one. That's like a slap in the face uh. And to think I've only taken half-a-batch! I'm not ready for added responsibilities. I must be the most inexperienced PLT SGT ever. Oh well,JCC, here I come.
But nooo, things didn't just end there. As I alighted the ferry to go home the next day, I realized I left my bro-in-law's phone inside the sea vessel. So I quickly backtracked back onboard, asked the RP and boatmen if they'd seen a phone, but of course, they didn't, just as I expected. Sheesh. All those times I took great pains to return lost handphones and cameras, yet I've never been on the receiving end of such kindness. And it's my bro-in-law's phone!!!
As if things couldn't get any worse, I was so exhausted from lack of sleep throughout the week, that I fell asleep on the bus back home. Which would generally be ok, except for the fact that I missed my stop and had to walk back. KAUZ.
And and...when I reached home, settled down in front of the computer with a glass of plain water, I discovered a temut (semut) drowning in my drink. KAUZ KAUZ.
