Confessions of an Undisguised Drama Queen

Nothing goes my way

Sometimes I wonder if I was born under some unlucky star.

Because I can never see the end of my string of bad luck. Super suay lah.

I don't understand why I'm so suay because....

1. I always have insect traumas in hall.

The first encounter was with a wasp nest right outside my room door when I was at Blk 47. Everyday I saw it grow larger but the hall office failed to come to my rescue promptly when I called up to beg them to get some pestbuster to save me from my increasing distress. Ultimately, my friend, only armed with a shuttlecock tube, came to my aid and removed the nest.

Then there was Xiaoqiang and his BIG friend, Daqiang. Xiaoqiang wasn't difficult to deal with: he fell into a pail a few days after I saw him disappear under my bed so I could easily throw him out. But his BIG friend was... really LARGE and freaky.

I returned to my room one late night after studying only to find Daqiang on *shriek* my BED.

I frantically tried to get it off but it ran towards and OVER my pillow *wahhhhhhhhhhh*

Then like Xiaoqiang, he disappeared.

Armed with Theresa's Baygon, I poked every single space under my bed but I still couldn't get Daqiang to come out. I had only one resort. I sprayed the entire area below my bed with so much Baygon, I almost passed out first.

Left my room to bathe and when I returned, still not sign of Daqiang.

Sprawled on the floor minutes later, determined to track down my enemy, I finally saw him at the extreme corner, weakly trying to climb up the wall. Wah, still don't die???!!! Baygon rained on him once again, and let's just say, my mission was accomplished.

Thought life would be better at Blk 45: maybe a turn of luck or something. But NO.

A bee once flew into my room, reducing me from my usually placid exterior to a screaming nutcase who had to get Tresa to save me.

Then more recently, this week, I realised that my room was invaded with an army of red ants from somewhere outside my room. And you know what, I did put an ant trap/poison outside my room when I first moved in, but the cleaning lady went to throw it away for me. Thankew hur...

Why meeeee...??? (for those doubting the cleanliness of my room, please note that I vacuum at least twice a week and mop the floor every week okay)

2. I have the worst luck at interviews.

Remember the utterly unfair GIP interview?

Then there was another when I was first to be interviewed but the interviewers were not ready and didn't have much questions to ask me. In fact, they almost seemed disinterested when I asked them questions instead. All in all, I took less than 10 minutes while others after me were in the room like forever.

Yesterday, I went for yet another interview. The stupid shuttle bus took so darn freaking long that I was left panting because I had to run all the way up the hill to the Student Services Centre. Instead of being 10 minutes early as I'd planned, I barely had the time to catch my breath before being told that it was my turn.

And then the interview sucked.

I was being asked questions like "Why did you only take 3 A level subjects?" and "Why was your GP grade so bad?"

What do I say? That, yes, it's one of the greatest regrets in my life that I dropped Physics in Year 2 (I do really regret it) because I thought I couldn't cope? And how the heck would I know why I dropped from an A to a C for my GP? Ask Cambridge lah! They marked my paper one wad.... grrrrrr....

I feel so suay.

Only when the day comes when money drops from the sky for me to go on a shopping spree will I be convinced that maybe all this bad luck will be worth it.
