Feeling lucky? NO! Opposite it is!
This photo was taken on Wed lunch time.
I took it, because I wanted to blog about how lucky I felt.
This photo was taken about the same time as well.
I took it with an excited feeling, wanting to share in my blog.
Then, after my lunch, things just went very wrong. Okay, the second photo was the screen guard that I bought from eBay, which was supposed to be fitting for my BlackBerry, model 8707g. We couldn’t find the protector that is 100% suiting, which require some cutting.
I searched and found this on eBay, claiming suitable for 8707 (without g). Since there is no other 8707 available, I naturally thought they are the same. This item arrived less than 2 weeks after purchasing.
I was so excited. I ignored my lunch and attended to this first. I placed it on my screen to double check the size – 90% fitting, except some trimming required at the top, due to a different shape of the ear piece. Did that, then peeled off the lower plastic, stuck on the phone. It SEEMED matches 100%, except that the curve!!!
This model of mine, apparently has some upward curves at the sides, and that has caused the screen guard to come off at the edges - left, right, and top. With much effort, I managed to take it off and placed back the rear plastic. Took some measurements, cut, then pasted. This time no turning back. SH*T!! It was 2mm off, from the top. I needed to trim further, and by doing that I ruined the protector. There gone my money!

Anyway, why did I feel lucky when I got my lunch box? You see the curry veggie on the right? I have been wanting to eat that for some time, but the store never cook this. On Tuesday I was so tempted to ask the lady, but decided to keep quiet.
On Wed, as if she heard me, this dish was there! I felt so happy and thought I was getting lucky.
But then… at night I had very bad stomachache. I went to the toilet so many times till the next day noon! I suspected it was from the lunch.

And, worst was what I discovered immediately after lunch – my site was inaccessible!
So, imagine that — a day that started with a lucky feeling, ended up with disasters lined up.
I am glad everything is over now. Chinese likes to say: good things come after the bad. So, I presume I am going to be really lucky from now on. :p
Heheh!! one should always be as optimistic as you eh..
