when everything wrong can't go more wrong

you wake up 5 minutes later than you should. it is when you need to do everything: iron the clothes, fill your water tumbler, find your socks. the result: you go and wait for the bus 10 minutes later than you should.

you know you already missed the trip that you normally take. you wait for another. the trip that comes, full to the brim and doesn't even stop at you. you take a different trip to another route, you feel relieved.

but your relief turned into horror, when you got stuck in a jam. you wasted 1 hour. you alight at the wrong stop and realize you have to walk far to the train. after sweating through the shirt you painfully ironed, you arrive at the station and board the train.

you arrive at the station and hail a cab. you get to the office.

the damage:

* RM 5 wasted
* 45 minutes on the clock
* bad day

i still have to count my blessings as today is the 10th of Muharram. any orphans to pat?
