Today a series of unfortunate events happened. First I lost something worth around a hundred thousands rupiah, then I lost 40k worth of phone credits, bought something useless, and unintentionally destroyed an important thing for my bachelor thesis.
This morning I went to look for a replacement for my wrist watch battery, which died exactly at the 24th of April, 4:47:35 pm. The battery is not a usual one, it is a little bigger and you need a screw to turn it and make it work.
With my ear phones channeling music from my HTC, I rode my bike around pocin and kober, but couldn't find any shop that sells the certain type of battery. So at the last shop I stopped then asked for a AAA battery for my now-dead remote control of my room's air conditioner - more on that later. There was a phone voucher shop nearby, so I unplugged my ear phones and put them in my jacket, stopped there and bought a couple of 20k electronic voucher for my phone. I was expecting an instant 40k to be delivered to my account but there seemed to be a connection problem so I decided to wait for a while. Since there were no signs of topping up my phone credit, I left to wake potato up for brunch.
Then I realized I lost my HTC original ear phones. Maybe I dropped it somewhere, but it definitely had to be around the voucher shop. So I returned there to demand for my undelivered phone vouchers and to ask if any of them saw my ear phones. Gained nothing, I decided to just let it be.
Later I got to the campus with potato, then played around for a while and continued my bachelor thesis. I did something simple to my mysql database - only changed the user privilege's password, but then it gave me hours of trouble. I had no access to my thesis website because of the invalid database password. Until the night came, I tried to find a workaround for my server, which was frustrating.
That night I only received 20k phone credits, not 40k like what I paid for. I was already frustrated to complain. And not just that - the 20k that I got was immediately depleted because of a short unexpected 2MB Internet usage. So I went back to zero. I spent all 40k of money on useless phone credits.
When I got home, turned out the battery I bought for the remote did not work; the remote was already broken.
People said good things will come after a series of unluckiness. Let's just hope so!
