I've developed this bad habit of reporting to work late..
This is what goes through my mind on the morning when I'm late:
7:40 - Leaving the house
Shucks!!! Man, gotta run! * run like mad woman* (in a skirt)
Maybe I can make it on time today,no worries!
(8:00 am - at bus stop outside Jurong Regional Library -> switch buses)
Aiya, no hope already..
No, I MUST believe I won't be late! *pray for bus to come*
(bus arrives, 8:02)
Wow, there's actually a seat at the back of the bus! I'll just sit down and read a book.
*Dozes off halfway through reading*
*Wakes up, startled, looks at handphone time*
ARGHHHHHH!
How how how how how ... Oh no nonononno..
I must believe that I can reach by 8:30....
*Dozes off again*
Wakes up, finds that it's already 8:26. Still 5 more bus stops..
Oh no. Late again...
Another day like that. why???
Recalls the things I did before leaving the house:
Lying on bed 10 mins before waking up
Brushing teeth - slowly
Eating breakfast, watching CNA and reading ST all at the same time
Picking the right clothes
Make up
Putting on contact lenses
Looking for a matching pair of shoes and ending up with the same pair i wore yesterday
*wah, am I so inefficient?*
Bus reaches destination. Alight at bus stop. 5 mins walk from office.
Chiong ah!!! (runs like the beginning of 2.4 KM NAPFA test)
Outside office - catch some breath
Hand twists door knob
Hang head down, walk hurriedly back to desk, making eye contact with nobody.
Pretend nothing happened.
