In four days, four separate things that I don't hold dear to me but I've come to realize is important to my life spoilt.
Tuesday, my laptop died.
Wednesday, I fell sick.
Thursday, a good friend didn't feel well.
Friday, my spectacle screw disappeared.
Of course, the last thing I could possibly think of about such a chain of unfortunate events was really bad luck. To me, there's no such thing as bad luck.
I'm lucky, because this happened before my exams (well, I fell sick during I/O psych test) and before the holidays. Imagine this happened during the holidays. Second, they all happened together, so I don't need to spend a few separate days fixing the problems but rather I can fix them all at once. Thirdly, I discovered it was pretty much easier to play the piano without my spectacles, so I'm now one step closer to playing a Linkin Park Medley. Fourth, I got to talk to a friend who I used to never get the chance to talk to (and also getting my friend to feel better, even if it's a bit. I think of it as a good deed done.). Fifth, I got to talk to my dad, who I also never really get the chance to talk to a lot. Sixth, this means I skipped school due to spectacle broke, so now (since monday is a holiday)I have a 4-day holiday. Seventh, I managed to save my files in my harddrive so now I don't have to cry over lost files. Eight, I still can do my normal stuff because my dad gave me tempoary ownership of a laptop coz he has a new one (he bought a better one ages back... but...) Ninth, I got to inspect my optician's fish tank and get to see a lot of cool stuff (mostly just shrimps swimming around) mainly cause I could only see them up-close(specs were still broke)Tenth is getting fish-and-chips for lunch. Eleventh is being able to get 13 hours of sleep ytd coz I was sick.
Basically I'm still very happy despite what has happened. It could have been due to one specific cause... But I believe it's just that I got a lot of sleep.
Seriously, when I say luck, people are nowhere near my definition of it.
