cashcard woes + long rant
Sometimes i think a lot of car drivers are really impatient and dumb. Impatient i can totally understand, because i am guilty of it, plus the point of getting a car is to get from point A to point B in a shorter time, so anything that stands in the way of you clocking a shorter time gets on your nerves.
Went to SGH today to get a doctor's signature for my grandma's insurance thingy. Missed the carpark near the clinics so i went to the main carpark and decided to come out instead of parking there. However as i was trying to get out of the carpark, the cashcard reader said time-in unavailable or something along the lines of that. So what the hell do i do?!! Insert, re-insert card, wondering if it's a card problem, reverse and drive forward wondering if it's the stupid sensor, pressed the intercom, apparently it didn't seem v useful..... So i had to make the car behind me reverse so that i could reverse out. And then i got off the car finally and went to the counter and checked with them what's wrong. So they said no problems, just go to the exit again, when it prompts the thing, press the intercom and let them know what time you came in. Alright, no biggie, sounds very simply. Got back into my car did as i was told, and then they were flushing the system behind me were a few cars, someone thought that horning me would get me out faster. I'm so sorry my friend, i don't think the computer system will speed up upon hearing your horn, maybe a few more pieces of RAM might help old man. Really... What did u think that horning could help?!! Besides letting me know of your urgency to get out of the carpark, i'm bound to the system. I can't do anything. Yeah i was holding the cashcard in my hand. What did u think i was sleeping while staring at the cashcard reading, yeah borringg.... change the cashcard reader's msg next time round coz i'm falling asleep. NO! DUMB DUMB DUMB. After the kind lady helped me out of the carpark, i had to go back to the other carpark opposite the clinics. Tried to get in, wow this time round the system is even smarter. To prevent me from any cashcard woes for the day, it decided to not let me in at all! Wonderful. Simply wonderful. Went back to the same carpark and then parked my car there, wandered around finally reached the clinic only to find that it's closed and the doctor's no longer there. All because of a stupid damned cashcard. What is wrong with the world?!! GRRRRRRR. Left me in a totally bad mood for the rest of the day. Returned library books and DVDs, tried to get a mcdonald's ice cream cone to cheer myself up, didn't work. Blasted Linkin Park, still didn't work. When i reached the carpark near my house, i sat in the car for a while wondering where else i could go. What i really wanted to do at the moment was play this plane shooting game at PS that Jon and Amos are mad over. But i didn't feel like going alone and i didn't know who else to go with. Sms-ed Amos and waited for his reply in the car, after i think maybe like a minute or so i decided i'd just go home and switched off my hp. Didn't feel like being contactable. This girl sitting at the carpark washing bay which is like one car away from me looked at me when i got out of the car. I bet she must have been wondering what the hell was she doing in the car, blasting music and not doing anything (my windows were rolled down). Came home and finally got down to painting the alphabet cubes. Now it's finally done. Totally regretted buying cheap paint brushes. Very annoying. good paint brushes are vital to painting. Sigh.... Lesson learnt. Morning classes tomorrow and maybe capoeira class in the evening. Still thinking if i wanna join Amos. Haven't been studying much. Very sucky feeling from that too.
