If this doesn't spice up your life, what else does?

My double clumsiness happened within 3 hours. Believe it or not it's true.

And so, I was on my way to airport. Sweet Delia drove me there. Since, I checked in online, so I just go into the departure hall. I passed the security check and I waited for my departure to Bintulu for my cousin's wedding. Clock strikes and it's time to move. And the first "oo-oo" moment happen. I think I left my purse at home. So, I might not pass AirAsia boarding check. I kinda tell the sweet lady that I forgot my IC. She let me go.

And so, I went in happily and thank God she let me in. Sat at the seat number allocated, waiting for the plane to fly, and then I heard, "Amy Chieng, can you identify yourself" At first, I thought it was my identification problem. Then, the second "oo-oo" moment happen. I booked the wrong date. It's suppose to be 8th Aug instead of 7th Aug. So, I tried to beg to ask them to let me go, but I dont think I can since I had been let go the first time.

And thus, I called Delia back and ask her to send me home, but she's busy. But, she's been so sweet, trying to get people to pick me. I called James, he's bz. And my phone has low battery. Imagine u are in the airport, stranded with low battery handphone and no money, no ATM card, whatsoever. I have to call my uncle to tell him that I might miss the wedding, I have to call my parents that there might be a change of plan... this and that....really tensed.

I finally got Yih Siew to send me, though she's bz with her dad. I got home, look for my purse, third "oo-oo" occured. It's not home. I could have left it in the office. So, I went back to my 20km-away office with my colleague to open the door. Thank God it's there. Time passed and it's already 9 something. I head back for another 20km.

I called Yih Siew whether she finished her dinner with her dad, and she say yes and she can pick me to bus station. Time: 9:55.It's 5 minutes before the 10 o'clock bus left. Called my parents that I'll use the bus and meet them and I'll travel with them to Bintulu. Reach home at 3 am. leave Bintulu at 3:45 and reach there at 7:30. Just in time for my cousin's wedding ceromony at 10am. I never knew I loved my cousin so much until this happens.

3 HUGE "oo-oo" moments
and
600km++ of road travel
and
sleep deprived
and
food and drink deprived
and
a very long tensed night

Doesn't take away the peace and joy I have from God. One thing that surprises me, throughout the night, I knew that I can make it on time. And worries at all like how I use to react. Normally I will cry first then think of what to do next. Im just laughing at myself for having such night. and one big lesson learnt, dont be too over confident that things like this wont happen. Always check everything before you book your flight and always check that your purse is with you at all time.

What a weekend,
Amy
