. . Bad Luck Tuesday . .

By Monday, saw that the toilet is done. Well, not exactly fully done. But can still be used. After they had install the wash basin over the weekend. Some wall cabinets were also installed over the weekend. Some in the level 2 office, some at the pantry. Other than that, nothing else. Thought that they were going to fix up a new wall shelvings for the books and magazines. But not yet I guess. Nothing much about work on Monday. Same ol' same ol'.

Today Tuesday, is my bad luck day. Started in the morning when I walked out the front door. Weather was looking bad. So I figured I left home a bit earlier so I don't have to ride fast. Started to rain when I was wearing my raincoat. Already felt bad luck when it started to rain. The moment I ride out of the carpark, into the main road, the rain got heavier.

It got so heavy that I had to stop a few blocks away from home and take shelter in another carpark. It was so heavy that in less that two minutes that I rode out from the carpark, my shoes were already drenched. Another reason I stopped was, *another bad luck* that there was a small hole in the underside of my raincoat pants. Since the rain got heavy, I'd already felt that the underside of my denim jeans were slowly getting wet! Had to almost wait out for 45 minutes before I rode off again. This time to the nearest bike shop to get a new raincoat.

Another bad luck was at the bike shop itself! The new raincoat cost me a whoopping $32 *the auntie there initially tried to sell it to me for $38*. There goes my money. Think can definitely get cheaper somewhere else. But I had no choice. It was still raining and I had to get a new raincoat pants. Wore the new raincoat pants *while my jeans was still wet* and rode to work.

Got to work late *had informed Shironu earlier that I'll be late 'cause of the rain* but had a nice surprise when I reaced office. The new chairs have arrived. Yay. Least that was something, one thing, that was good today. But while helping around and stripping off the plastic covers off the new chairs, suddenly I realised that my ring was gone! Shucks! The ring had been quite loose since yesterday, and today, suddenly it came off. Or did I misplaced it? Well, one thing for sure, I couldn't recover it. That's another bad luck there.

Work was ok. No bad luck or what for work. Before leaving the office, we were briefed of the new alarm system that was installed today. Last time, we had to key in number codes to unlock the main door. Now, we have card keys. Flash it and the main door unlock. For the 2nd floor office, they've installed motion sensor detector. Last to leave the office have to armed the detectors before going off. As usual. We've also installed security cameras overlooking at the main stairs and also the main entrance that lead to the elevator. Yeah, we have an elevator.

But it's not up and running now. Even the main entrance is still under renovations. A lot still not done yet. A lot of things are still in boxes. Haiz. If it was up to me. A lot of stuffs would be cleaned up by now.

Left the office and saw that my bike is dirty. Not sure what it was, but looks like plants *seedlings?* that fell from the tree overhanging the motorcycle parking lots. Haiz. And the dirt wasn't easy to clean. Another bad luck. Definitely need to clean my bike this weekend.

Detoured to Queensway Shopping centre after work to get a new ring. Felt so different without that ring on my right hand middle finger.

Hope my luck gets better tomorrow.
