I have inherited awfully bad luck. It started from yesterday. We (me and fiona) decided to do something different..physical activity. So we thought..since it has been raining the past 3-4 days, HOW UNLUCKY CAN WE GET THAT IT RAINS AGAIN? okay we all know that it rained in the end, but it was the timing. It had to rain when we reached bedok mrt which was in fact already halfway round the world. So we decided to go to suntec in search for some good food with the hopes of compensating our immense luck. It seemed at that point that we were doomed to the conventional singaporean idea of a date as everytime we decide to do something different it fails. Anyway, i said hey! Lets go eat at my favourite pasta place at suntec. So we walked around the 'Fountain of Wealth' 3 times and the restaurant was gone. By then it was 2 and i was starving so the words 'All-you-can-eat-buffet' naturally struck me and iw as drawn to this chinese hotpot restaurant. Picture this: Me, drooling, agitated , ready to gobble up a cow. And they tell me..."sorry Sir, we are closing at 3pm, so you'll only have an hour left..do you still want the table?"
"YESSSSS. GIVE IT TO ME NOW!"(what kind of retaurant closes at 3?! Don't they believe in Tea and Dinner?)
"Don't worry sir..you'll still be able to enjoy your lunch despite the short time"
(aside) "okay fi..we're just going to order like hell before 2.30"

Admidst all this craving for food, i forgot how much i was actually paying for the food. The bill totaled up to 47.30 buckaroos. Which was really not worth it in my opinion. We then left tha place with hopes of going home and watching one tree hill which would still make up for the horrid day.

It was still raining, and we were dead tired from the trip around the world so we decided to take a bus instead of the train(the safer option). We took bus number 16. (I WILL REMEMBER BUS NUMBER 16 FOR LIFE. ) Which turned out to be from the wrong bloody direction. So we were headed for Marine Parade. Which is in like the next universe. And i had to only realise this when the bus hit katong because throughout the journey i was rocking out to John Mayer and refused to listen to Fiona's frantic shouts of "Eugene! We're Going the wrong way!" "AHHH I"M LOST I"M LOST!"
An old lady then tapped her on the shoulder and said in a condescnding voice..
" Hello Young Lady...This bus is goign to Marine Parade. HOW CAN YOU BE LOST IN SINGAPORE! "
This resulted in me laughing my ass off and saying " Yarh you stupid or what..we are going to marine parade. HOW CAN YOU BE LOST IN SINGAPORE!"
It then hit me. I was in deep shit. Anyway we got home safe in the end setting a new guiness world record for the most miles travelled around the globe.
