Murphy's Law

Two years ago on the deadline of my thesis manuscript submission, everything went from bad to worst. That is a long story to tell --- a series of unfortunate events --- which eventually ended to my ONLY final manuscript file being corrupted by a computer shop in UP Shopping Center where I planned to have everything printed (a day ago my printer went berserk).

And now, Murphy's Law is again at work. I'm now in the airline lounge awaiting my flight. Just this morning I had headache. Then the camera I'm bringing is not working at all. The memory card I bought is of different type. I discarded my toothpaste and other stuff in the inspection counter. I took an expensive lunch in the duty free shop not knowing there's an airline lounge with free lunch, internet, etc. What's next? Hmmm. I'm certainly not hoping for anything much worse.

Tonight I'll be in Singapore, and tomorrow I'm arriving in Sydney. It's winter Down Under, so I bought my winter clothes with me (c/o Citibank, hehehe). And it pours there, so I still have no escape from the rain. Oh, have I brought my umbrella?

I hope my cam works tomorrow. I can't wait to take a photo of kangaroos, emus, dingos, koala bears, funnel spider, black widow, great white shark. hehehe.
