procrastinator to the end

So with a heavy heart I go to Oz. I didn't have a dime...mum.

Yep the last hope, mother and fortunately she obliged. The house she had was also unoccupied, great. She transferred some money which was more than enough, thought I would get something to play with but...

My daughters passport rm300, mine had expired rm300, my wife as well! rm300.
My wife's visa 700, 2 international drivers permit 150(x2=300), daughter's visa rm50. Plane rm1200. Terrible exchange rate...well I didn't have anything left.

Wonder if I'll ever get anything from my day job.

Travel date 13th at 12.05pm ie 14th. I had stuff I wanted to take, software, scanned documents, man that took forever. I left to get the wife on the 12th.

On the 13th I wasted time on the PC, left for KL at around 3pm. Had to return some stuff to Mr O, return keys to JPS, forgot to get the wireless. Went to get it. Too late to sell the kancil. Planned to return the proton at the kampung, get a taxi to follow and this at 9:30pm.

I was panicking. The wife was a little oblivious. Man I may not make it, the counter at the airport closed 1 hour before. Shit man. I get to the nearest town near my hometown and what, NO TAXIs! I absolutely don't believe it. This town that had always had taxis, not one. Unbelievable, no taxis when you need it. I had to go to the nearest big town to find a taxi. By then it was 10+, no way I'd make it.

I returned the car, took a back way to the airport, don't know if this was faster. The taxi was real slow until he got to the highway. But my watch talls me it was too late. When I get to the airport it was 11:30pm. The counter didn't have Oz anymore. The guy at the counter says 'can I help you'. I said Oz? Sorry it's already closed. 'What's my options?' One minute, I'll get the supervisor. I ask the super and he tapped on his keyboard. Gone man. To reissure, rm1200. ???That's how much to get the next flight on the next night. That was with the carry over of my original 1K. I said that I may as well use the internet and save 200 bucks but in 15 minutes? It takes that long just to boot the laptop. Shit I'm dead, oh well I have mastercard.

He says folow me. I follow then he comes back, done. Huh. Yep it was done. ???
it was done...yeah I didn't have to pay, I could not believe it! I could kiss this guy. ('could' but I didn't).

So I take a bus back to KLSentral and stayed at a crappy hotel. Next day went shopping (wife's birthday), bought a psp for the daughter (for me actually) then back to the airport.

This time no chances.
