NOT AGAIN...*inhales*
*exhales*
Why oh why, does this always happen to me?
And so I woke up early this morning , eager to start my diving lessons. Had to travel for a fair bit so woke up 2 hours before lesson starts which was at 7.
Dilly dally here and there and ended up catching the 830 train to Noarlanger Centre which was where the diving centre was. Estimated travelling time was about an hour so I figured 30 minutes late wasn't really a big issue anyway.
And so I boarded a train on Platform 5, but...
Ended up boarding the wrong one departing from the same platform going the total opposite direction.Since Noarlunger is the terminal of the route, I told myself as long as the train stops and announce for all passengers to alight then it should be my stop alright.
Except that it wasn't. Cos Gawler is the terminal for that route as well.
It was like trying to get to Jurong but ended up in Changi instead. Do you have any idea how idiotic that sounds?
Don't ask me what I was doing on the train all those time.
But there was this kind lady at the station who told me she had the same experience as well just that she landed herself at Noarlunger. I was just too distraught to be polite and make small talk.
So I called up the dive centre and told them I was at Gawler, as usual they chuckle and say "no worries! (prob with a smiley face)" and I sat like an idiot all the way to Adelaide(which took an hour) and then Noarlunger ( another hour on the same train).
So finally reached there, and started my lessons and all. Will only be doing pool dive for this week and ocean dives next week. It was really difficult trying to stay down in the pool since I was so buoyant. Grrr I feel like humpty dumpty...
Shall blog more about diving next time.
And when it was time to go back, managed to get a lift from this nice guy who will be picking up me and another girl, an exchange student from Germany whose only staying for 1 sem and living 1 street away, tomorrow morning as well.
And on the way back,
Nice guy:" So how did u end up in Gawler anyway?"
Me shocked but remained compusure , blabbed everything out and then couldn't resist it but asked how he knew.
Nice guy:" Oh cos Rosie(our instructor) told us this morning that"there's another person joining us today as well but won't be at the moment cos she ended up in Gawler.""
:'( mummy!!!!
Talk about first impression.
Nevermind, tomorrow's always a better day.
