..& it rainedi'm on half day leave today.. have one of the assignments to finish & lectures to catch up on..
it rained heavily today just before lunch.. unfortunate events happened to me & it began with the bag..
Part I: i picked up some stuffs from 6 Batt Rd to bring over to Pru & as i was walkin back along the stretch of Raffles Place [outside Chevron House to be precise..] with YvoNNe Lu [she was goin for lunch, you see] the bag that i was carryin gave way & all the cans of Coke & Carrot Juice came tumblin down & rolled all over the place..! imagine the embarrassment that i was in..! thank goodness YvoNNe was with me or i could have sworn i'd cry.. 2 gentlemen came up & helped us pick up the drinks.. i stuffed them in the plastic bag that i had with me, hung the umbrella that YvoNNe gave me on my hand & walked quickly back to Pru..
[i'm not done yet..]
Part II: i left Prudential Tower only to find that it was still rainin heavily.. as usual, i don't have an umbrella with me [i don't like to carry one around] so i took the underpass to 55 Market Street & texted aZMaN at the same time, hopin that he'll get the message & rescue me from the rain.. it was busy at Geek i presume because he didn't reply so i stood at the traffic light junction at Republic Plaza II & prayed as hard as i could that the rain will subside.. well, it didn't so i stood there, resigned to my fate that i'll be stuck at the junction till eternity..![ok, so i exaggerated]
& then..! an angel, a French angel to be exact, came to my rescue..! [*flutters eyelids & clasps hands*] he asked if i wanted to cross over to 55 Market Street & of course i said yes so he offered to share his umbrella with me.. aww.. sweet right..? his was a 1-man umbrella [you know, the small foldable one that you can tuck in your bag..] yet he offered to share.. such a nice guy.. *smiles*
& so the story ends with me partially wet with soggy stockings & squishy shoes..
**the end..
