Bad jam today...

I woke up this morning as usual at 7am...didn't skip a beat...though i wished i could have slept just a little longer...got up...performed my daily cleansing ritual, dressed up, packed my bag and i was out of the house 1 minute earlier than usual...didn't even close the gate since my other housemate was around...and yet i was 20 minutes late for work...

Stupid jam!!! it was like the whole of Penampang decided to go to work/school/out at the same time today...there wasn't even a stalled car/ accident that could have caused that massive a jam...ok, pardon me, i've become a spoilt brat ever since i work in KK...back at home in KL, i've never needed to brave through massive jams to get to school...my school was 15 minutes walk from my house..and i took the school bus...in uni, i stayed in campus...walked to class..and while i was a houseman here in KK, i never needed to worry about jams...coz i was at work before the sun's up..and i only got home long after the sun's down...so it becomes unbearable when my drive to work takes more than 40 minutes when it should only take 10 minutes (minus the jam)...

And so, while i was stuck with all the other cars on the road, the radio played Daniel Powter's 'Bad Day'...i was like, shit, who's calling me now? that song happens to be my ringtone as well...took me a second to realize that the music came from the radio and not my phone...how appropriate a song to commemorate the beginning of a day...i thought that perhaps it was an omen...hehe...so anyway, got to work later than my boss..good thing she didn't go...Kathleen, what time is it now?...guess she was in a good mood today...so turned out, it wasn't a bad day after all...so perhaps not all omens come true?
