Mood: slightly pissed off Fact of the day: Though not the first to ever take control of Chinese territory, the Monguls were the first foreign power to be able to take control of the whole of China. event of the week: mugging for my exams next week.
My god, bad luck has to come just when I was telling my friends over email, that my good luck for the past week made me fear that my end was near. You know how you just have a hunch, like your allocated luck for the lifetime is running out, because you're using them too fast? Yeah, I felt like that for quite a few days. And today, man, all my good luck abandoned me.
The morning started out pretty ok, I was all ready to go for my econs lecture, which I have missed for the past 2 weeks, because I always overslept. Today, I was so proud of myself for going for that lecture. Then, on my way to my next class after that, I realised I shouldn't have gone. Freaking hell, I got stung by a bee! It really hurt a lot. My hand [where I was stung] got very swollen, so I skipped my next class to go down to the clinic, to see a doctor. Fortunately, I'm not allergic to bees, so the doctor says that I should be fine soon. A little swollen, a little painful, but it'll go away soon. Of course, if I start having difficulties breathing, or if I suddenly pass out, then I'll know that I do have an allergy after all. Duh. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to the ER in time.
After that, leaving the clinic with an ugly cold pack on my hand, I went to the computer lab to print my homework out, to be handed in later in the afternoon. Then I realised that I took the wrong diskette out of the house. Damn, so I had to walk all the way home to get the right diskette to print. At this point of time, I was already quite pissed off. So when this guy in his stupid red car pissed me off even further while I was crossing the pedestrian crossing, I wanted to bang on it and scream. [You know how you're crossing the road, and the car making a turn deliberately stops right next to you, and revvs the engine, as if it's ready to run you down? Yeah, that's what that bastard was doing to me.]
I got home in a horrible horrible mood. But no time to be a sulky baby, so I just took my diskette, had my lunch [so I don't have to bring my lunchbox out again] and left again. This time, I managed to print out everything that I wanted to print. In taking my printed stuff, of course, it was the call of the day for my hand to suffer a paper cut as well. It's not that bad, just a small cut, but this small injury did big damage to my spirits. Argh, am I destined to just stay at home and not come out or something?! Damn damn damn damn damn.
The day's not over yet, so I don't know what other unlucky things are gonna happen. I'm cooking dinner later, so let's hope I don't burn the kitchen down. Hmm. What can go wrong? I have a haunting feeling I'm going to burn/scald/cut myself later.
Oh, I forgot to mention, my full-length mirror dropped off the wall and cracked. Actually, I would say my mirror committed suicide, because there was no reason it would have dropped off just like that, but it did. Now, there are those very small pieces of glass lying in my carpet, but I don't have time to lug the huge vacuum cleaner down to suck them all up. I'm just gonna wear my shoes all the time. Hey, wait a minute...my mirror cracked...that's probably why I'm having bad luck! My god, is this gonna last for 7 years?! I'd better stock up on plasters, cos naturally when I was picking up the mirror pieces from the floor, I cut myself as well. Sheesh......
All the cuts and the sting I mentioned above are just minor cuts, nothing serious. I'm fine now. But at the point of time when I injured myself, the temptation to scream was almost irresistible.....maybe I should remain optimistic. At least now I know I still have more years to live. Having good luck for too long a period of time just creeps me out anyway. Occassional bad luck is normal. I just wish they wouldn't all come on the same day.....
