Wanna know how a 15 minutes process turned into 90 minutes? Read this.
Yesterday was our due date to submit The thesis, yeah the thesis that tortured me all day and night, even in my dreams!
So initially our plan was, 11am me and my housemate LWL to fetch Fenn, and go to the book shop to bind our thesis, to campus to submit it, luncheon at someplace luxurious to celebrate.
Plan was smooth at first. We went out, car no puncture. Fetched Fenn, she waited outside her house already. Binding shop, not really a lot of people so we needn’t have to queue.
Things started to go wrong when we reached campus. Fenn noticed that her title on her cover page is PRINTED WRONGY! (Yeah how the fuck did she do that -.-) So, she asked net, who was about to bind her report, to print the cover page for her by sending her the correct title page in sms.
Me and LWL went on submitting our thesis of course.
Suddenly, Fenn noticed also there’s error in one of her Appendix page. This time, she have to print it herself as Net has left her house to the binding shop.
We then rushed to Fenn’s house to print the appendix page, and screw that fucking printer for showing its attitude, it took us 15 minutes just to print 2 pages.
Havoc. Everyone was in nervous-mode as it was 11.40am already and the FET office closing time is 12pm, for lunch.
At her house, we thought why didn’t we go to my house for printing since my house is so much nearer to the campus then hers! This is what nervousness turned us, brainless.
-.-|||!
Luckily this is not the road condition around our campus.
After printing, we went to the binding shop to meet with Net, thinking that everything will be finished after Fenn got her cover page. We knew god was too easy on us. Apparently Net printed again the wrong cover page!
AAAAHHHHH! (Yeah I have to shout even while blogging!)
This time, we were slightly smarter. We binded a few pieces of blank papers, and then went straight back to my room and print the covers.
Ok. It was already 12.05pm. RUSH TO THE CAMPUS hoping that they might have some late lunch.
Finally, she managed to submit her report, as the FET office lunch time is 12.30pm.
WTF!!!!
Things doesn’t just end here. After submitting the stuffs, Fenn noticed her file containing her notes, lab reports to be submitted had GONE MISSING!
This is where we started to think that there’s some jinx surrounding us.
We think, and thought. Finally decided to re-visit the binding shop for the third time, to look for the file. Luckily, it was found over there.
NOW. Our initial plan was only 15minutes for the whole process, it has now turned into 90 minutes.
Guess this is a result of clumsiness, severe clumsiness.
To illustrates more, here’s the brief map of all of the four locations mentioned in this story.
Only four locations, but visited 8 times within 90 minutes.
See how far each destination it is from each other.. -.-
Luckily things are all done now. Relieved.

Hahahha~~ It happens all the time, especially when your frustating, or nervous (or maybe Fenn nervous)…
But, luckily its not that damn far, for the distances of those 4 locations, else, it will turns to be few hours, instead of 90 minutes…
