Yesterday was a day people tend to tell lies to make others believe in them then they'll go "April fool!!" on ya. Even the local newspaper had a page, "News is a fool's game" where they have a couple of really out there stories to let you guess whether it's true or false. I'm not the kinda person who goes out tricking people but I was tricked by someone. It's nothing major and it was before April fool's day according to my time. So I'll just let it slide....
Anyway, I had a professional community placement in someplace really kampung like but looks really nice and peaceful.
Seriously, this place is hard to get to. You have to take the metro (something like a train) for about half an hour, take a bus for like 45 mins then walk to the place which takes....2 minutes according to the travel planner. Me and my partner, Danielle (good thing we had partners coz I forgot to bring my phone and I did some pretty dumb stuff. Without her help I would have no idea how the day's going to turn out) left the house before 11.30am which is super early coz the placement wont start until 2pm. We wanna make a good impression so we decided to depart early.
Before that, I dressed up REALLY professional...
see how professional I looked?? <3>Oh, even the day before, I shorten and did a seam on the bottom of my pants.
Yes, I do sew. Not pro la but this looks pretty darn good for an unskillful person like me.
Anyhow, took the metro and the bus, everything was fine but we don't actually know which bus stop to get down. We think we're so gonna be fine since we're like half and hour early. So we asked for some directions and got down the stop that was mentioned by the bus driver and locals. We started walking and searching for the pharmacy (of course!). We were so like tourist taking pictures along the way. LOL
we walk and walk....and walk........15 minutes has passed and we are in the middle of nowhere!and so we had to call the pharmacy and someone came to pick us up by car. Turns out it was just like 2-3 min walk from the bus-stop we dropped off. WTH!! we were too busy being "tourist" that we just walk passed the pharmacy. But we got there just in time ^^ Woohoo~~
The placement went great! we went to the doctors, interviewing patients, doing more pharmacy stuff......... =.= I'll just jump to 5pm....
As we were heading to the bus-stop, a bus just arrived so we ran to catch a bus. (I finally experienced running to catch a bus as seen on TV. That's tough work!)
I bought another one way ticket back since I forgot to buy a return before. You know how much it cost me?!? a one way ticket cost 3.30 pounds and i think a return just cost about 3.80 pounds. I had to pay 6.60 pounds for the whole return bus fair thanks to my forgetfulness! And I didn't bring enough money coz I thought I wouldn't use so much that day. Where the heck can you find a cash machine in a place like that? Haiz...I had to borrow some money from Danielle to cover the rest of my bus fares. darn!! When can I stop being a clutz!
The day was not over coz we were rushing to get to dance classes. Finally got time to relax after the class so we went out to have dinner before returning home.That's my April fool's day to ya~~
Not funny at all!!
