Bus Pass

It's Tuesday and it's 2 degrees outside.

It's so warm, I decided to just wear a semi-leather jacket (Yeah, 2 degrees is warm). So, at 10, I went out to catch the 10:10 bus to school.

It's my lucky day. As I arrived the bus stop, the bus arrived soon after. Happily, I crossed the road, only to realize that my bus pass is still in my utility jacket I used the day before...

Usually, I would enter using other doors (I do not have to show my bus pass there). However, today I decided to be honest and went through the front door. I told the driver:

"Sorry. I forgot my bus pass."
"On the other bus? At home?"
"At home."
"Hmm. Take this with you."

He printed out a daypass for me and gave it to me for free! Thank God for letting this guy be the bus driver on the day that I forgot my bus pass. Such a blessing, alhamdulillah. I need not to worry how to return home too!

It's Tuesday and it's discount day.

10% of grocery purchases, $5 movie tickets. It's a day I specifically save for grocery shopping because duh, it's cheap, and I'm a cheapskate pretty much most of the time.

So, of course, I had brought along a shopping bag with me for this specific reason. After class, I took the bus to Billings Bridge Mall and went through my shopping list. Milk, veggies, apples. Yes, I'm healthy like that.

I grabbed all the stuff I needed and went straight to the queue. Then I remembered, I forgot my campus card. I was thinking of ways to prove that I am a student. I even thought of taking out my lab reports to show that I am a student. -_-

Then, it hit me. My debit card IS in the SAME wallet I keep my bus pass and campus card...

I went out of line and hid my basket of groceries somewhere hidden. I rushed home, emptied my school bag, grabbed my wallet and returned to the mall. I was worried that someone would take away my hidden stuff and make me pay for leaving stuff randomly. Pfft.

When I returned to the same spot I hid my groceries, the basket was still there and no one was looking over it. (Of course! Duh.) I went to queue up again, and pay all my groceries.

Now, they're safe and sound in the fridge and I walked 6 km today...

Good job, Trah. -_-
