Cry Me A River

Last week was particularly un-spectacular for me. I was beyond distraught. I lost two of the most precious things in my life - my wallet and my teeth. Devastated does not even begin to describe how I felt.

It was all started on Sunday night. I was hanging out with Sham, AJ, Shah and Eirul, and we were about to call it a night when I realized my 100%-genuine-leather-totally-imported wallet suddenly disappeared. Yeap, just like that. Gone.

Nevermind the Bonuslink and Tesco cards in it; imagine the horror of me waiting in 100-plus -people lines at the JPN, JPJ and CIMB counters with bad service. Imagine too the horror of me forking up my hard-earned money to replace all those things, plus all the money I’ve already lost. Hell, I might be better off living on the street!

And to keep saying, ‘things couldn’t get any worse than this”, boy, couldn’t I be more wrong? The next day came the second coming of BAD KARMA - my dentist refused my request to postpone the surgery! How’s that for ‘my-life-is-suck-right-now pathos?

"The next available appointment date would be on May, and looking at the rate your gum and teeth eating each other, I don’t think you can afford to defer that much longer, well unless, of course if you think ‘swollen gum’ look is all in the rage right now". (Funny!)

So there I was surrendering my fate and my rotten teeth to a pair of scalpel and “a clown”. I have been on medical leave ever since and GOD, in a lot of pain.

Trying to understand how bad things can actually happen to good people might just make my head explode. I simply can’t believe all these things are happening to me now. Life is so unfair.

So I think I am keeping this – oh yeah - to remind me probably all it isn’t lost for me yet.....

.....the ache still lives on, alright!
