so what is wrong with me nowadays?

yesterday was the first time i took the wrong train. i was at orchard and had to go to novena. if you know SMRT's train map well, in order to get from orchard to novena you will have to take the train thats heading towards jurong east but i took the one thats going towards marina bay. maybe cause i was in a rush, i just dashed and jostled in the train that was about to depart.

i left my underwear in IKEA restaurant! for the first time, i left my stuff in a restaurant.

its alright if the things in my plastic carrier were clothes, food, but they areunderwear! i feel uber embarrassed =8

me: hi is this eee-kay-year alexandra?
yellow shirt person 1: yes eeee-kea alexandra how can i help you?
me: do yall have a lost and found corner? cause i left my stuff in the eee-kay-year restaurant.
yellow shirt person 1 transfers me to another call, which i assumed is ikea restaurant hotline.
me: hi, is this eee-kay-year restaurant?
yellow shirt person 2: HUH?
me: oops. erm lost and found corner?
yellow shirt person 2: yea.
me: so i lost this club marc plastic bag of stuff in the eee-kay-year restaurant around 7plus 8pm.
yellow shirt person 2: what is it inside?
me hestitates, feeling embarrassed: briefs.
yellow shirt person 2: huh?
me, trying to enunciate properly: briefs.
yellow shirt person 2: beefs?!
me, goodness, loud and clear: UNDERWEAR (this is so embarrassing)
yellow shirt person 2: oh okay. i call you back.

a few minutes later...

yellow shirt person 2: hi your stuff has been found.
me: great! when can i collect it?
yellow shirt person 2: huh?
me realises i've asked the wrong question.
me: WHERE can i collect it?
yellow shirt person 2: lost and found corner LAHH!
bloody hell, your eee-kay-year is so damn big, as if i know where the hell is your lost and found corner. annoyed that he raised his voice and used singlish and perpetually said HUH, i hung up the phone without even saying thanks to him.

but then, to the whoever that placed my underwear in the lost and found corner, thanks!

i can totally picture myself standing at the counter tomorrow and ask, excuse me where is my underwear?? *malu to the max.

screw conscription. i dont have many days left.
