Ah...finally no more chinese intensive programme though a test will be conducted...no more examinations till nxt year...well, today was supposely script check but I'm on MC today...can't wait to get my first 3 papers and the another 3 back tmr.
I feel like bringing just my pencil box and file to school for the next few days since all I need is a pencil and something to keep my papers...but then again I guess a bag is still ideal.
This two days I finally get to do something ON MY OWN, which yea...was pretty much disatisfied becuz I made lots of small mistakes which were aviodable. Such as saying too many details about the problems in my phone and expecting one day for my sickness to be gone...
Well, some of you might have noticed I am now using a crappy looking Nokia 6020 (i dunno if anyone can recognise). My phone was sent for repair as it kept turning randomly wether it is playing music or juz simply doing nothing, NOTHING at all. So, things were going quite my way since me and my bro didn't have to wait 2 hours & 45 minuets like the last time in Nokia's customer service for phone to be registered. After all its Sony Erricson now, gone were the days our family used Nokia handphones with the exception of me currently since I need a phone.
Well, within 15 minuets I found myself sitting in front of a saleswomen asking, "How may I help you?" And so, i began telling her about the problem i faced using my phone like the USB and headphones output was loose and the phone kept shutting down on its own.. and here's how i made the mistake:
Normally, you would say "my phone kept turning off by its own."
well, due to my 'extra' nature I would say, "My phone keeps turning off like when I play music, Is there a auto shutdown fuction installed in my phone? "
and because of my question in yellow font, I got myself embarassed. and becuz of the extra part in green and for my impulsiveness when I did not read through the invoice b4 signing it...the staff typed the first problem in the invoice as, "Phones turns of when listening to music"...which was definately wrong since it this happens all the time.
This time round I was lucky that we managed to edit the invoice shortly after I left..which was really a "Thank you Lord" for me.. Also, after this event...I think its time I start thinking for an offical signature for future use in case I have to sign another invoice.
well, another achievement today, visting the doctor alone...yea i'm received an MC today from the doctor due to very bad flu...the nuisance virus that mutates annunally. Well the first thing we all do..visit the doctor. As usual I headed to the clinic, only this time, i do it alone...honestly today is the first time I ever visited a doctor alone..it's a embarassing thing I guess since I bet many other would have visited the doctors at an earlier age.
Well, everything was pretty much the same except that now I had to register my name on my own, and of course the clinic changed its air-conditioner from a National to a Panasonic...but that's not the point. Well, waited for quite a while for the doctor...luckily i brought my handphone to entertain myelf for the time being.
I was so engrossed in my game that I did not realise it was my turns untill the second call of my name..so, I reluctantly walked to the door, knocked and open. There was the same doctor as usual writing notes and using his computer before he greeted me..
As usual, becuz i was 'extra' i asked the doctor for guidelines on how to start since it was my first time. never did i expect the doctor mistaken me for my elder brother.
He replied," I thought you came alone the last time. You even talked about the air-con..."
At first I tried recalling when I went alone and talked about the air-con becuase though I have some knowledge on air-cons, but I wouldn't dare to talk about air-conditioners and their problems like my brother does.
Later he flip to the cover page of my medical log and realised that I was the younger one..he told me that we both looked too alike nowadays and that I seem to be taller than my bro..well, I was a little fluttered and a little surprise. Many of my friends said that we din't look alike due to our large age gap of 11 years. Well, I guess times have changed as people mature and adapt to changes.
And so after the checking of the thorat and heart-beat I collected my medicine. Well, indeed this two different crisis or rather situation were sure little achivements and stepping stones in life that sometimes needs some reflections to realise them..Well, I'm glad I managed to..it's all written in this post.
Now that its nearing the holidays, perhaps we could all share our plans for the holidays and our expectations of next year in advance.
