I got locked out of my room today…not fun. Second time in history.

Well, this is how it happened…I went out to take a shower and I normally stuff all the clothes into a plastic bag since the horrible hostel bathrooms don’t have hooks or anything behind the doors, and the thought of just draping the clothes and towel over the filthy door just makes my skin crawl. Who knows what’s been there??? So, after showering, I noticed my shorts felt unusually light. That’s when I realized…I FORGOT MY KEYS!!! And I rushed back to my room, which is just around the corner, hoping that my roommate was still in the room.

But she was not.

So, I just hung around the corridor, walked about…even went downstairs for a walk. And I couldn’t make a phone call cos my phone was in my room!!! So that sucked. And it didn’t help either that my vision was blurry and my glasses were in my room. If not, I would’ve walked to look for Jacyn or something lol since she lives the nearest from my place. I continued hanging around in front of my door…even tried to pick the lock but failed miserably with my modified hanger (which I use to hang the plastic bag when I go for a shower) That’s when this Malay girl who passed by several times came up and asked if I forgot my keys. I said yeah, and she mentioned that there’s quite a lot of rooms that have the same keys. I didn’t know that! Gosh, I’d better stash my laptop every time I leave the room when no one’s around. So she tried her keys and it didn’t work, and coincidentally, a girl living opposite her room was going out that time, and she asked if she could borrow her keys. And it was a perfect fit! If it weren’t for her, I would have to camp outside my room with my bucket and towel slung over my shoulder for hours (possibly!)

Note to self: NEVER FORGET KEYS. If it happens again, I can borrow someone else’s keys.

On another note, I found this really interesting video from a blog. The speaker’s name is David Pogue. He spoke at the ‘08 EG conference, and he’s a tech critic/columnist for the New York Times. You HAVE to watch the video below!! He’s just hilarious… Well, the video’s like 27 minutes long? If you’re not willing to sit through 27 minutes/do not have 27 minutes to spare, y’all can just let it load and go to 24:15 mark. It’s just priceless… (I DO recommend watching the whole thing…it’s just plain awesome lol) Let me know what you think haha
