You guys know Murphy's Law?

The whole day today I was constantly reminded of Hwai Tah explaining to me what it means during his birthday.

"When shit happens, shit happens." -Lee Hwai Tah, MSc Information Technology

Yea well I tembak his certification wan la ok XD

So anyway, here's the scenario.

I wake up at 6.25am, do a quick devotion half dead, rush in and out of the toilet, gulp down the Milo-Nestum mixture my mom had prepared, and rush out to the KTM at 6.35am. The train arrives, the passengers enter, and the guy in front of me snaps up the last seat. I am left squeezing with everyone else all the way to Subang.

Edeline picks me up, we endure an hour of listening to an arrogant lecturer whose demeanor implies he has a problem with the whole class, and then together with Jess we head to Citibank where Edeline gets a warning from Metro Securities for illegal parking. We then have very nice Ipoh hor fun and Hainan chicken which are the only good things to come out of today, and head back to college to meet the radio lecturer.

Now this is the part where I get all pissed.

There isn't parking in college, so we park outside. We try to pay parking at machine number 1504 but the machine just would not accept our coins. We try and try, but it wouldn't cooperate. We say "stupid machine", and then decide to just forget it since we wouldn't take long anyway. Besides, we see the blue uniformed men happily riding away, having already saman-ed the illegal parkers, so we decide it's safe to not pay.

We meet the lecturer, and I still do not believe what he's telling us. Apparently the college changed the mark breakdown system at the last minute without telling the lecturer and the students, which means that the 4 of us have been working our butts off in vain, thinking we would be rewarded accordingly, but in the end everyone in the group gets the same mark. Even the two leeches who did not lift a finger to do anything. Also, in other words, it means that our marks got pulled down because of them.

The lecturer is apologetic, says he knows about the two leeches, and that he's "so so so so sorry" but there's nothing he can do, and that he'd love to bring us out for dinner, and all that. Like that's going to increase my CGPA.

Grudgingly, we go back to the car. And there's a freaking saman on Edeline's car. We manage to catch the man in uniform who gave us the saman, and he says he knows about the spoilt machine, but he can't do anything about it. We do a lot of explaining and tolonglah enciks but he just tells us to appeal at MBPJ.

So that's what we do. Drive to MBPJ, and find out that the system is offline. How many times does that happen in government offices you tell me? Thank goodness we do not require the computer. Edeline makes me write a karangan in BM about why they should cancel our saman, and the woman tells us to wait 14 days to know the result of the appeal. Like it's a court case.

Edeline drops me off at the train station, and the train breaks down. All passengers are required to move to platform 2, where more waiting is required.
