So, October kind of flew by me. With my new job and my involvement with the Pink for October official website and in the last 10 days in October, I have been co-ordinating and organizing our Annual Turtle Research and Rehabilitation Group (TRRG) Reunion @ Aquaria KLCC, which will be held today, Nov 5th from 7pm to 10pm.
Speaking of the reunion.. I just realized this morning — on the day I am supposed to give a talk on the summary of activities carried out by the TRRG — that I had COMPLETELY forgotten about the powerpoint presentation that I was working on for the past few days! I had forgotten about it — I forgot to save the presentation into my flash drive and I forgot that I would be the one giving a talk today.
Before I left my house yesterday morning, I picked up my flash drive, and put it down because I didn’t think that I would be needing it. My sister asked whether I would be bringing my laptop, I said no, because I thought I wouldn’t need my laptop. Why would I bring a laptop to a volunteer reunion? Plus, I was also pretty sure that the hotel we were going to stay in didn’t have WiFi (because it’s located on Jalan Alor, LOL).
Anyway, upon realizing that I was *this close* to breaking down, I called my housemate, told her where I kept the spare key to my room, asked her to switch on my laptop and email me the presentation. And I tell you, THANK GOD for my housemate, because I have just successfully downloaded the presentation and burned it into a CD.
I am now in a cyber cafe in KLCC, spending the remaining 30 minutes of the hour because I am spending 12-freaking-ringgits to download and burn the presentation.
But I am not complaining. In fact, I am thankful. Very, very thankful.
Nice to have you back blogging and yes indeed. You are very lucky that you could get someone to email you the PPP. I hope that all went well.
That was close and you are lucky indeed that someone saved the day! :)
I am spending 12-freaking-ringgits
Sorry if I sound st*pid but what is this?
Glad it all worked out well for you in the end!
In regards to the ringgits, I believe that is the dollar in Malaysia.
It is nice that everything worked out for you, I did that with a final once. Fortunately, I remembered before getting to school, so I just ended up being late.
Ha Ha Ha… If I only knew at the time… :-)
Yeah, Steve is right. “Ringgit” is the Malaysian currency.
1 US dollar is equivalent to 3.5 Malaysian ringgits.
*phew!*
have lots of fun in kl! :)
i hope the presentation went well. maybe you’ll post a copy of it here for us to share?
glad to learn i’m not the only absentminded person on the planet. this really sounds like something i would easily do. bravo to your housemate!
Housemate? Did u meant R* H** ?
And being your ex-housemate, I didn’t know you kept a spare key to your room until I read this :P
Take care, dai kah cher..
