Not Fated..
A dominating performance by Federer today against Agassi and he's through into the semi-finals. I didn't even manage to catch a single minute of the match. Not even the interview. That's because I was having a lecture from 3-6pm. And I still thought I was in luck today when the lecturer finished the lecture notes at 4.40pm. Rewind..
4.40pm: Sms from Duckass. Match has started. At the same time, the lecturer finished the last slide. I packed my file into my bag, ready to go the moment he dismissed us. But, he had to seek our opinion in scheduling the make-up lectures. Ok, I told myself to be patient. Seriously, it didn't matter to me when the make-up was. I didn't even care if he wanted to go ahead with the class on CNY eve. I just wanted to go home immediately.
4.55pm: The class finally had an agreement on when to have the make-up. At last! But, he dropped the bombshell. "Let's have a 10minute break. We shall continue with blah blah blah after that." What?? I felt like crying. Called Duckass when I left the classroom. 2 break points for Federer. He failed to convert both. Break point yet again. Overrule by umpire. Enough, I decided I was the jinx. Ended the call. One minute later, Federer broke when Agassi double faulted. Haha.
Before 5.30pm: Could listen to the lecturer in peace when I received Duckass' SMS that Federer was a set up with a break.
6pm sharp: Lecture FINALLY ended. Practically ran out of the class. Called Duckass to update me while I made my way to the car. Long queue at the gantry. Damn it. Stupid woman right in front couldn't insert her cashcard. Her car was so far away that she had to open the car door. Ok, I forgive her. Old woman. When it was my turn, I thought I just needed to drive through. But I had to pay. No escaping. Alright, I shall pay.
6-6.50pm: As usual, traffic was crawling on the AYE and ECP. I thought I would be safe after Bedok. But, here goes the traffic update on 90.5 : "Fallen tree after bayshore exit in the direction of changi airport on ECP" You've got to be kidding! I couldn't believe my luck. So, I exited at bayshore. All the traffic lights were against me. Not the traffic lights' fault. I was stuck behind this yellow Hyundai Getz all the way. Stupid lady driver. Finally reached home at 6.50pm. Sprinted into the house. Granny thought I was having a stomachache and needed to use the toilet immediately. Haha. The moment I stepped into the house, Barbara exclaimed: "Federer ying2 liao." Hiaz. I was happy yet disappointed. After rushing home in the hope of catching a glimpse of my idol, I was not rewarded. Never mind, I shan't be greedy. I'm happy as long as he wins :)
Thursday Evening - Federer vs Safin. Guess what? I've to depend on Duckass yet again. Have to rush home at exactly the same time yet again. Hope its' a good sign. I'll do anything to secure a Federer victory.
