Had a bad day the day before, my luck has never been that bad before. There are just some days when everything never goes your way. Just like that.
My mom always said i was a lucky baby, the kind that would find gold bracelets when i'm digging sand at the beach or the year when i was born my dad
made it big. That kind of lucky baby. However, overtime, it seemed like luck was running out for me, like sand in an hour-glass. Yesterday was my kind
of really bad day that had me in the dumps.

The night before, i was so excited as i thought that the next day would be the end of all my troubles with my visa. Now, it seems that i'm on the verge of
becoming an illegal immigrant. Anyway, as murphy's law goes, everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. ( All thanks to murphy and his idle-logy.)
Apparently, my visa was not only, Not granted, i had to do a medical test. There were two things i dreaded most in life, the doctor and the injection. Both often
coming hand-in hand. As things would go, i was really angry, pissed off, could not control myself, cursing and swearing, who wouldnt be?

I had to go upstairs to make an appointment, where by that time, my patience was wearing thin. The person who was chinese like me, spoke in an arrogant
manner and told me to sit and wait for my name to be called out, but all i wanted was to assign another day to return for the examination. This was one examination
that i could not fail and yet it was one of the most unerving exams i could ever have in my life. Anyway, i was told to return later in the afternoon, exactly 4 hours from
now. What in the world would i do for 4 hours? Life was never meant to be easy, but why did it have to be so hard?

I did return after 4 hours, though not sharp or on the dot. Doctors and appointments are never associated with punctuality and i was not about to start too. Arriving at
2.55pm for my appointment with my friend it was another gruelling hour wait at the queue before i could sit and await for my name to be announced. Maybe it was my
anger that blurred my better judgement but time seemed to be taking it's own sweet time, draining me of my energy and wearing me out. I hated this life, I hated my bad
luck and i hated murphy.
