Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life By Monty Phyton


Thursday 21st of June 2012 is one those fucking unlucky days that make you feel like shit. I don’t usually use vulgar words, but fuck Thursday. Well, we must ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE no matter how bad it is. So let’s try to look on the bright side to make this post a little more interesting.

Ever since my family has moved temporarily to Johor, life has been so much harder. I woke up feeling sleepy and tired, just like most of any other days. Good thing though the Malaysian public bus was not late. I bought packet rice with sambal chicken and had enough time to eat it before class started which was a good thing also. Class was fun and that was it for the morning.

I later met my friend at Orchard and she passed me the nail polish which I bought for about 3 dollars per bottle & I can sell it for about 8 to 12 dollars during one of those RP bazaars. She came about 5 minutes late but there was still time for my understanding test for music composition. I later went to eat a plate of mee soto. I added some chili and it wasn’t spicy at first but was super bloody spicy later on. I wanted to drink some water from my bottle but it was near empty because I forgot to refill it at RP. My whole face was sweating & I felt like I was losing my voice. It was definitely the spiciest thing I’ve ever ate. I bought a can of root beer to cool myself down.

I then proceeded to National Skin Care Centre to get my viral wart treated & I was 8 minutes behind schedule. Ok, so here’s where things start to get fucked up. I waited for 50 minutes to get treated which was atrocious. It was already 4pm and I was supposed to pass him the nail polish & lend him 80 dollarsSo I left even though the nurse would treat me after another 2 more minutes. I still do not know why I stayed there for so long. Took a train back to Woodlands from Novena & I slept on the train floor. I woke up & realized that I took the wrong train, so I alighted at City Hall & took a taxi. I stepped off the taxi and then sprinted all the way to my class and my leg felt pain because of the buildup off lactic acid.

The test was hard because what nothing in the test was what we studied at class or in any of the resources our teachers gave us. I wasted 20 dollars for that stupid test! To make things more fucked up, I spent 10 minutes doing the test and the rest in the toilet enjoying my diarrhea.  You know when people say don’t give up, well, I should have given up and just stayed to get my viral wart treated. Now my appointment is changed and I have to get my viral wart treated this coming Monday at 8.30am. The test ended and I was still in the toilet indulging my diarrhea. Note the sarcasm though. Let’s look at the bright side though, since the test was hard, even if I did study for the test which I didn’t, if was punctual for the test & if I had no diarrhea, I’ll still get F. As I got back to class to submit my test, some of my fucking classmates pissed me because they thought that because of me, they had to wait for before they could get dismissed. Fuck them.

I think I went to the toilet for 3 or 4 times. As I was making a product in the toilet, some immature dick knocked on door room that I was in, laughed & ran away. I realized that I had lost my laptop charger. I think I left my laptop charger at the synthesis lab which turned out to be true & I later got it back the next day. As my laptop was low on battery, I had to use the laptop at One Stop Centre. I experimented and realized that their laptop charger matched my laptop and so I switched on my laptop & charged it.

I was exhausted but I still had to take the letters from my sold house. I indulged myself in a cup of caramel frappe at MacDonald to cheer my lousy mood up. I then had to walk all the way to Muhaimin’s house to recuperate for my over expenditure thanks to my stupid taxi ride. I reached home & slept. I switched on my alarm for the Czech Republic versus Portugal Euro 2012 match at Malaysia Macdonald. The alarm did ring but I switched it off as I was too tired. Looking on the bright side though, the score was a dismal Portugal 1, Czech Republic nil, which showed that it was a boring match. The next day was Germany versus Greece which was a much interesting match and ended in a Germany win, 4 – 0.
