Birthdays

Well as some of you know, I prefer spending my birthday like any normal day. It's nice having messages, wishes and surprises but ultimately, I like to go through it like any other day. 

I lied.

I love celebrations, I love presents and surprises etc but I don't want to expect any because things always go wrong when I expect something happy to happen. That's how 'I'm going to fail all my exams' nonsense started.

Today has been a normal day and I am not feeling sad or disappointed because I didn't expect anything. Having to know some friends remembered today really surprised me because I never see myself as a very good friend to anyone. Getting vibrations from my phone in my pocket every now and then just put a smile on my face =)

I don't have any present from anyone this year but I got myself one. A sore throat. I have no idea why but when I woke up this morning, my throat was dry and it was itchy. Just like the past 2.5weeks, I was doing all the paperwork then suddenly I got this sharp pain at my epigastric area. Yup, Mr. Gastric Pain decided to drop me a present too. Great!

I was given a stern warning shoo-ed off by my reg by 5ish pm because I have been staying very late for the past few weeks so I left about 5.40pm and guess what surprise was awaiting me? Jammed lock. Yup, my key just could not unlock the door because the lock was jammed. I felt so lonely and so abandoned at that exact moment when I realised that I can't get back in my room to just sleep off my gastric pain and sore throat. Went to the sitting room and called the porters but no one picked up the phone, so I decided to nurse my gastric pain with yogurt. Then I tried calling again and finally they picked up.

After about 10 minutes, one of the porters came and tried to unlock the door with my keys which was obviously not working. Then he went back to the hospital to get the master key which obviously did not work as well because the problem lies within the lock, not the key. Finally he threw in the towel and called the works department. It was almost 7pm and my pain has settled but I was not in the mood for anything besides a hot long shower.

Waited for another hour or so, 2 works man came and used the crowbar to open the door. Yeah, finally got in and now typing this hoping to stream off some of the bad luck away.

**********

To you who remembered this day, thank you so so much. I really am touched and happy that you remember.

To the sore throat that appeared from no where, you are not welcome here at all. Please leave asap.

To the gastric pain that decided to surprise me as well, please go away. I am not going to feed you anything so just piss off.

To the lock on my accommodation door, please behave? You are vital and can't do this to scare me again.

If such situation repeats again, I will get into depression for sure since it's going to be winter soon. So please don't, I'm down on both my knees, begging you...Ms. Luck, can you hang around and shoo away all the bad luck please?? Thank you so so much!! Owe you big time!!
