Salaam. What a hot day it was. The sweltering heat and the scorching sun were unbearable. And to make the matter worse, I was not in a favourable mood. But hey, it rained in the afternoon!!!
Hamdan lillah 'ala ni'matih!!

"Qaddarallah...wa ma syaa'a fa'ala..". True it is, our Mu'allim's saying. =)

I have mood swings. Just like Khalifah Harun Ar-rasyid. Heh. I've learnt a lot today. Grateful, I am.

I went home right after school has ended. As usual, I dozed off in the bus. Muahaha.And so I trotted towards home happily.Not that happily though cuz of the sizzling weather. But as soon as I reached my doorstep and was about to open the door, I realised it was locked, indicating that nobody is at home. And guess what? I have no keys with me. hah. I was slapping my head hard thinking, "great.just great.argh". I paced to and fro at my doorstep and I got an idea. I chunked my schoolbag into the tiny store outside my house, where my parents placed a bag of soil for gardening, a skateboard that both me and my sister hid and a broomstick.
Then I thought.."I've not read any library books or gone to the library for a long time". heh. I guess you get my drift. ^.^

I went to the bus stop and boarded bus service 85. It is a new service and I thought it was heading towards Compass Point. So I hopped on the bus happily (again). Then I was dumbfounded to find out that it stops at PUNGGOL. Argh. Another slap felt. I put on a cool face and I suppose people on the bus were wondering why I boarded the bus, especially in my uni and without any schoolbag. Hoho. I dropped off at the nearest bus stop and decided to board service 86 which goes towards Compass Point. Gosh. What a nerd I am. -_-"

I waited and waited for the bus to arrive as it was the ONLY bus service available there.
The third slap. But somehow, I managed to get to the library! Yeahh!!! Gosh, it was heaven, I am telling you. Heaven.heh. Exaggerating, am I? Lol. Hey, the library is my favourite place, all right. Hmff.

So off I went upstairs to the library. I thought of stopping by at Starbucks to greet my cousin who is currently the manager there. Who knows I might get a free drink from her, like before? Haha. what an evil cousin I am. But nahh, I did not do so as she was busy preparing drinks for her customers, from what I observed outside the cafe.

At last, when I stepped into the library, I went straight to the young adults' fiction corner. After browsing and choosing 2 books, I went to the Malay's fiction corner. Cool stories and no, mind you, it was not a romance novel. No no. No romance novels for me.
I was so jubilant and enthusiastic to borrow and went to the borrowing station. Guess what? I could not do so cuz of my card...spoilt or smthg. So what did I do next?

Answer: I spent another hour reading the selected books. Heheh.Unfortunately, I did not manage to complete all three books. so I hid it somewhere before striding off towards home. I vowed to myslef I would go to the library tonight with my sister, using my IC. hmff.. stupid ez-link card. mwaha.

Eh wait. Have not finished my summary.Later, I took bus service 372. when I reached my block, I muttered a little prayer, " please let someone be at home." And yes, my parents and Mas ARE at home! Weheee!!

Phew. How relieved I was. And then I ate my lunch and used the comp (and still am). hehe

So that was how I ventured into 'other parts' of the world. Haha. whatever.

Moral of the story: Somehow there is a blessing in disguise. Just look at how misfortunate I was to be locked outside my house without any money (except for 20 pathetic cents) or food. But hey, I was very fortunate to get to explore the virtual world by reading books at the library.

Boy, what an experience it was. =D
