Series of unfortunate events

Once again, hello my dear readers.

I have to be honest with you, I haven't been blogging much lately.

From the last time I blogged here to today I can say I have an array of things that happened that really made my mind go topsy turvy.

Last two weeks we conducted an assessment for our new science communicators, I had a boat ride to Temburong and just afew days ago I went to KL for a science communicator workshop. Finally, I get to go into Petrosains. It was fun. The workshop was good. Too bad prior to the trip as well as in the midst of the trip I had a taste of a series of unfortunate events.

Since the trip was just me and my boss I decided to bring a friend to accompany me to go for the trip. Thinking that it would be good for us to spend some time together since it's really hard to get hold of him sometimes. Initially I  had trouble purchasing the ticket. Oh yea, I offered to purchase his air ticket since I was the one that invited him for the trip. Eventually I managed to sort the ticket problem and successfully got him a return ticket to Kuala Lumpur. Along the way of the purchasing process we kinda fought a bit. And he decided not to come along.  Regardless of what he said I got the tickets for him anyway. Come on, no matter how mad a person is if someone gives you a free air ticket you would cool down right?Right??Nope. Not this dude. He totally turned down the offer and didn't get on the plane. Uhuh. B$345 down the drain.

I went to KL anyway, just me and my boss. I was sad at first but I got over it. Shit happens whatcha gona do right? To enhance my over stressed mind, on the second day of the workshop I fell sick. I got like the fever FEVER. The one where all you can do is just lie down and sleep. Yeap. That happened. Luckily I managed to go for the first day of the workshop. Since it was a two day thing I didn't miss so much. On top of everything, on the last day of my KL trip another thing happened. Me and my boss were already at the KLIA to check-in our things to go back to Brunei. AND BAM! I left my passport at the hotel. And mind you, it takes about 45mins to an hour to drive back to the hotel from the airport. I could feel my heart dropped to the ground when I realized that I left my passport at the hotel. It was already 3pm and our flight was at 5.50pm. I didn't have any choice but to go back to the hotel and to make things worse the queue for the budget taxi was super long. No chance I would have made it. So I had to get a Merceadez. And it was a freakin RM200, just to get me back to the hotel. Since I didn't wana stay another day in KL I took the Merceadez and had to add another RM150 to have me driven back from the hotel to KLIA. SIGH! I literally spent about B$500 on nothing. Very sad.

Oh, as a cherry on top, my car is in the workshop again. It wouldn't be ready til like the middle of next month? SIGH!

All I can say is, I'm disappointed with my friend, I'm disappointed my car and I'm disappointed with myself.

I haven't spoken to my friend since til today. SIGH. Very mean. If only I can punch him.
