The unlucky evening after work

The negative points about working Asia hours:

- You do not get the London shift allowance;
- You are exposed to the hot sun and massive lunch crowd in the afternoon;
- You have to brave the sudden rain storm after work.

AND, on top of the above 3 points, I faced the below today (eeks!):

- Fire alarm went off when I was about to leave office;
- Climb 9 storey of stairs down to lobby to see the heavy rain;
- Walked to the MRT station, stepping into almost all rain puddles;
- Looked super unglam wearing my office slippers while waiting for the train at Raffles Mrt;
- Hands filled with big umbrella, 2 cups of hot tea, a plastic bag with my red heels in it;
- My face was super black plus I was running late for my class;
- My usual 2nd row seats were taken and I had to sit at the 3rd row;
- I kept yawning in class, opening my mouth like a hippo like nobody's business;
- SMS for a cab and gotten a Merc cab which cost more than the usual fare;
- The journey home was tedious as the gel fragrances were so intense that I felt nauseous.

Then again, reached home to have home-made shark fins soup made me feel SO much better!


Good night World.
