Things go wrong.


How long and much could it be wrong...
 How long are you gonna have THAT long face...
  How am I supposed to do when I already did....
   How is it that it is happening to me like RIGHT NOW...

So many questions and so many complains passing my mind and I wasn't conscious to think about what to fix or where to start.NOW, I would just laugh about it what happened to me yesterday and I really hope I do not meet a day like yesterday ever. LOL (as if I can control the world...)

Starting a day was fine. TOTALLY!
I was ready to go out finally out of the house (since I was stuck at home for more than 2 weeks due to my slipped disc problem.. okay... this is another Looooooong story.) Frankly, I was pretty excited and had everything in my plan including 'pedicure'.- that was my last resort to relieve and enjoy being polished!

Went to the college for a meeting since there would be a new club established and it's still in the process of being setting up, installing and recruiting members. It would be (soon) opened and BANG! - hopefully we can get talents in our club and develop it.
After the meeting, went to extend my visa - I know this is something I've been doing for more than 4 years and I had no idea how the law has been amended and wasn't informed about it at all.  Plus having a backache (still) tingled me and made me a bit more sensitive.

'knock knock,,'
Went to the office.

'what can I do for you?'
'I am here to extend my student visa.'
'Alright, may I have your passport and student number?'
'Here is my passport and my student number is B11XXXXX'
'Oh, your Sem starts in September - and you need to pay your full fees. But meanwhile I want you to photocopy you passport - every page.'
'Huh....? I did the same thing when I applied for extension a few months back'
'Sorry.. but immigration law has become very strict.'
(what does it have to do with this photocopy?!?!)

So I went up to get the photocopy done.

'Is there anything I need to do?'
'Yes, could you pay for your visa extension?'
I expected to pay for this, so I had cash with me.
'How much is it?'
'Oh, you gotta pay here and also at bursary..'
The amount I heard was definitely more than I paid last time!

(Phone rings... Whatsapp)
Quickly posted what I was supposed to post.
(done!)

'How come I am paying more than I am supposed to? I paid only 6 months back....'
'Yup. But you are here to extend the visa. The immigration only gave you 6months,right?'
(makes sense but it sounded ridiculous.. somehow...I felt like I was conned.)
'But why do I pay more than the last time....?'
'Because that's what immigration said so.'




WARGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG
Is this how you take care of International Students???
Seriously???




(Phone rings - missed calls)
('sorry, I am in an office...)
(who posted XXX on our page?)
Checked and double checked.... Oh shit.

What have I done....

I totally posted at a wrong page on facebook. WRONG page! which I can't do anything - It's posted and people read the post (of course!) - however, it's lucky that it was removed by one of my committee.

HAIKS! What was I thinking?!?!?!

everything was on a hold mode.
I just stopped where I was... 
Going through What i did.... 
Stopped. I just stopped.

and then, I met my friend who I waited for so long...
as soon as I heard his voice, literally I collapsed.
(lucky that there was a sofa behind of me...)

talked to him for a while.... calmed myself down a bit.
Went to the office again to finish what I had to do.

'Alright, it's just one of those days I meet... okay. Calm down... you can go through this.no big deal.'

Planned to go for my last resort.
'You gotta KIDDING me...'

It was raining heavily outside. 
There was no way that I could get out without an umbrella and I was worried that my back could get worse since the road is very slippery...
hm.. waited till it calmed down. So, Stayed at the college longer.. way longer that I wanted to.
Waited for about 2hours... where I could have at least smiled and let things go of.

NOPE! It ain't happening and I am grumpy now. 

Managed to go out of the college around 5.30 - cancelled my last resort plan and had to head for my class.
Just one class.
Mr. called me that we are having dinner with friends. 
Okay. at least that would make me smile then.

Expecting there would be no traffic was a stupid assumption. Even though this month is FASTING season, there are still people who work late. DUH!?!?! 
Traffic was bad. really bad. I was late. Obviously.

Yeah. 
I couldn't enjoy my dinner or chatting with them.
Fake smile was too obvious on my face and couldn't even elaborate properly what happened to me.
It is ridiculous.

Came home.
What a relief.
My day... My bad Day... is finally ended.

Thank you.
