Triple Zero
If you see a light break through the clouds
And fire run like distant towers,
And the world will begin, exactly how it ends.
When you call for love when you are lost
Whatever more, whatever cost,
And the world will begin, exactly how it ends..
Today started off a bad day. As time went by, the situation went worst. It almost felt like a disaster. I, for once, felt like a walking disaster. The world felt like it was imploding with every step I take forward, turning every single living matter inside out. I almost lost it again.
The series of unfortunate events:
- woke up with a growling stomach
- blocked nose was killing me
- the hair didn't go the way i wanted it to be
- reached boots & shoes 3 minutes late
- she texted 5 minutes later saying she'd be very, very late
- went to school alone
- the train was awfully extra crowded
- missed the train at jurong
- stepped onto a puddle of mud, socks all wet (hole in shoe)
- reached class 14 minutes late
- spent almost an hour thinking of an intro for CRS paper
- realized that i had 2 overdue school library books
The worst has yet to come...
So after music theory class, I continued working on my MIDI piece. Well, I got my finalized chord progression on Cubase. Saved it into my thumbdrive. It was over 5 minutes long. And I was very much satisfied with my ala-AVA intro. Hmm.. So I took a toilet break. Returned back to class. Room was crowded. So I went to t2027 with Emma to continue working on it. Got my thumbdrive out of the pocket. Shoved it into the the Mac's USB port. Waited. A message appeared on the screen:
"THE NEW HARD DRIVE CANNOT BE READ. RETRY?"
Okay. I thought it was a misconnection. So I shoved it up my laptop's USB to double check. Waited. A message appeared on the screen:
"DISK IS NOT FORMATTED. DO YOU WANT TO FORMAT IT NOW?"
I didn't breathe nor blink for almost 10 seconds. My heart felt like it got stuck up my throat. I tried to think. Acted fast. Plugged the thing out, ran upstairs to COMTECH. Waited. COMTECH dude shook his head slowly and apologized. My eyes were almost fragile. I could taste my heart in my mouth. Held on to myself. Control. I needed time alone. Took a slow walk around the building. It rained heavily. Got my socks even wetter (hole in shoes). Went back to the room. Hopeless.
Everything's now gone.
I just shut everything off my mind. I needed to clear my mind. Followed Joel and Emma to FC6. Put on my headphones, blasted The Used on my tape deck. I needed to think. Breathed in and out. I needed a new plan.
[end of worst day of the month]
Well, the straight downfall didn't prolong. I thank God for that. At least the day ended with the best thing that has ever happened to me this year.
And I told myself:
"Nuthin' in this world happens by chance. Everythin' happens for a reason. A good day awaits tomorrow.."
