Murphy.
Back from PreU Sem. Fuzzy-eyed and blinking.
Just when everything had been going more or less swimmingly, I lost my transponder. A transponder costs $100 to replace. I'd clipped it safely to my lanyard and it was gone.
Fortunately a coupla nice boys from my group had found it. After all, if you're in Singapore and not a politiclan, Murphy's law can only seriously annoy. (Unless you're dead by then.) I did have to look for some way survive for another two hours in my court shoes though; all my other shoes were locked up in my then-inacessible room. My court shoes are new, in black leather, with surprisingly stitching. Not to mention the most uncomfortable thing I've ever worn in my life -- nothing like shoes short of circumcision for cultural female torture.
One slightly less upsetting incident: on the morning on the last day, with everything packed, transponder safely back on lanyard, decked out in Suit and slightly more comfortable Shoes (they'd ripped enough so that my feet fit better), I boarded the bus knock-kneed from the formal school Skirt, confident that nothing could possibly go wrong: and it was then that I banged my elbow.
It was in the funny bone. Pain!
