Run Charlotte Run!

That was the main theme of last wed... and possibly the whole week...

To have a full understanding of such a day... one must look back in time and single out the catalyst that started this very sweaty day (even though it was a VERY cold day in Glasgow yesterday... colder than usual lah...)

So it all began when the one Miss Charlotte Tai asked the one Mr Karl Pang for a lift to the Royal Infirmary (a hospital in town) for our VS visit... the one Mr Karl Pang insisted that the one Miss Charlotte Tai's proposed rendevous time of 0815h at my flat was too early and insisted that we meet at 0840 instead... as beggars can't be choosers... the one Miss Charlotte Tai agreed to the time....

On the said day of Tueday 10 March 2004... the one Miss Charlotte Tai woke up at the horrifyingly late time of 0820h... now punctuality may not have been my strong suit... but class is very important to me and i hate being late for it! So the one Miss Charlotte Tai sprung out of bed and got ready for the hospital visit to the A&E dept.. which means? formal attire? which I promptly spilled water on when I was trying to fill my waterbottle? then the one Mr Karl Pang called me to haul ass down so we could go (not his exact words) so I ran down immediately after wiping myself dry? onward to the Royal Infirmary? Mission: Possible?

Then we headed to Byres Road (the road like 2min from my flat.. to find.. lo and behold? MASSIVE traffic jam?..and we still had to get on Great Western Road and the M8 to get to the hospital?.onward to the Royal Infirmary? Mission: IMPOSSIBLE?

So the one Miss Charlotte Tai whipped out her faithful sidekick? my Nokia 6100 and dialled Heather?s (VS mate) number and asked her when and where she was meeting Amanda (another VS mate) to go to the Royal? Heather replied that Chris and Fiona (yes.. MORE VS mates.. there?re 9 in the grp lah) were meeting at Buchannan Street Underground at 0915h? and that she?ll text Amanda and we?d all meet there.. so on to the Royal Infirmary.. Mission: Maybe-we?d-JUST-make-it?

So the one Mr Karl Pang did a U-ey ON BYRES ROAD *mutter* damn *mutter* and headed back to my flat so that he could park his car and the plan was to walk to Hillhead Station which was near my flat? ok?by the time we did all this and found a parking space.. it was 0910h?. shiok right? Nay my friends.. I beg to differ? we we walked real quick (hmm such a Karl thing to say) to Hillhead?. JUST managed to get the underground to Buchannan Street station? by the time we got to Buchannan.. it was 0920? *mutter* damn *mutter* so we ran out of the station.. to meet them all.. but turns out no one was there? it seemed like on to the Royal became Mission: Impossible once more? *mutter* damn *mutter*

So my faithful sidekick leaped into action and dialled Heather?s again? turns out they were on the other end of the underpass... so we ran there and started walking toward the Royal... which was like 15 min away! so we walked and walked and walked.. and our tutor actually called us to see if we were alright... he'd thought we'd gotten lost!

sigh.. what a day... till next time
