Lessons Learnt

Lessons, Beloved
Learnt! She feels tired and dumb
And just wants to sleep.

I experienced an intense fun last Friday evening. I was about to check in and the machine said it could not find my name and so redirect me to the check-in counter.

Airline staff (AS): Ma’am, you are not at this flight.

Me: But I booked it.

AS: You booked it for another date?

Me: What date?

AS: October 23, 2025

Me: Oh Lord…. How would it be?

AS: (smiling, shrugging)

Me: Are there still seats for the flight?

AS: Please go to that counter and get further info, Ma’am.

Me: (heading to the ticketing counter)

Long story short, I had to buy a new ticket because I had 2 gifts to deliver to 2 people in Jakarta. I had promise to keep.

I bought a new ticket for a much more expensive price than the original one wrongly booked. Lesson learnt? Check, recheck, check, recheck….. Maybe I shouldn’t have had to book a new one. I should have decided to deliver the gifts through my friend; in fact finally I had to deliver the gifts through that friend.

It’s not easy to meet with famous people; it’s either I’m too cheap to meet them, or they are playing hard to get.

Stupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupid………..stupid enough to call myself a stupid!

Lesson learnt again? I’ve got one round ticket for October to Jakarta. Still stupid!
