Do miracles occur? Yes, definitely, it is only a problem when we see it.
In engineering, we always know that ideal situation do not occurs. But... we may get as close to ideality as possible, what about an efficiency of 99.9%.
Today! I experienced a miracle. How much can you do in 13min?
13min... All it takes, from the moment I woke up, to sitting in Lecture Theatre for test. Nope, don't mistaken, i didnt stay in the LT or outside the LT, neither is it a nap.
After studying till wayyyy early in the morning, I went to bed, with Lavendar aroma (essential oil) in every corner of the tiny room. (my fren said that was sucidal, lavendar aroma on test night can really concuss people) That was the third day of my experiment for aromatherapy for treating insomnia. The next thing I know, I opened my eyes, and shocked to find out that it is 8.50am. (woke myself, no alarm was ringing, no phone ringing, nothing!) For ya info, my test is at 9am.
8.50!!!!?!?!?!?!??!?! Oh My God! ARGH~~~~~~~ HOW!!!!!?????
I double the check the time with my clock, alarm clock, and triple check with handphone. REALLY 8.50am, no joke. and there is a sms on my phone.
CS:"the test is at mlt ar?"
I was about to reply (wonder why i do it when i am left with 10min to get to LT for test), typing half way, when the phone rang.
"Hello. JY ar, where is the test ar?"
"Is at LT1a. (how come i am still so calm?). ARGH! DIE LE! I just woke up! (yea, this should be the way... anxious!)"
"... HAR?!"
"Die le!!!!"
"okok... byebye"
I put down the phone, and was lost for about 10sec. Should i brush my teeth first or change my clothes first. or .... ??? Then, i took my toothbrush with toothpaste and ran to toilet to brush my teeth. After that, i ran back into my room to change. and then pick up my bag and ran off to the busstop.
Should i wait for the unpredictable bus? (NTU shuttle bus can take year~~~ to arrive sometimes). Or should i run? (this may be faster if the bus dont come)
No! i shall wait. The bus will definitely come. It will!
and so i waited..... chanting to myself.... BUS!!! COME!!! HURRY!!! BUS!!!! APPEAR!!!
i think the bus "felt" my call! in less than a min, it appeared!!!!!!!
OH! IT CAME!!!!
I hopped on the bus and waited for my destination. in the meantime, i call CS, but he din answer. "oh! has the test started???" i said to myself. and at this point, my phone rang again...
"JY, where are you le?"
"I am on the bus le! at NIE side"
"oh?! that s fast! should be able to make it"
"yah yah, should be reaching in 2-3min. you guys all settled already?"
"sitting down now... hurry come"
"okok!"
as true as it can be, my destinated busstop came into sight, i alighted (no... i should say jump out) from the bus, and ran up the stairs towards the LT. I RUN I RUN I RUN RUN RUN! I CAN! Passer-by must think i am mad.
GRR~ how come nobody outside the LT? i went in, and found my seat in 2sec. head straight, and sat down. The screen infront says "Do not Start YET". PHEW~~~~ i am not late. 9:03!!!with a sip of water and took out my formula sheet and stationery, i look around... nobody started yet.
"You can start now. It is 9.05 now. We will end at 10.25"
The trauma was kept until after the test, i can still feel the blood gushing. How did i did it? haha! i can only say, miracles do happen.
I told CS i arrived in 13min, him, and every other people i told asked me the same question "did u brush your teeth?" ..... YESH DE! I did!. and CS conclude i should go and 烧香还神, same thoughts here, pray to ancestors and all gods who helped me.
So much about how lucky i am. but i hope i dont have more of such traumatising morning adventure. Just let me wake in time ok!

somehow or rather, i still think u didnt brush ur teeth. ~_~
wahahhahaha...
WHEY!!!!!
I did lo! although i only brushed for 20sec... But that still considered BRUSHED! hahhaha
It's the thought that counts lo. somemore i really brushed! hahhah!!!!!
Haha, it's really amazing. If I were left with 13 mins to travel from Jurong Point to NTU, I think I'd stop any car on the road to take me there.
Maybe next time when u sleep very late, it's better to brush the teeth before u sleep, so when u wake up, no need to worry about this teeth-brushing problem anymore. Haha..
Suppie
Wow! So 惊险! Luckily u made it for the test! :-)
