Update 8.05pm : Now the full story. As you guys know, I needed to go to KLCC to give training. So the nite before I set my alarm to ring at 6am and went to sleep early.

6am came and as clock work, the alarm rang. But, my lazy self hit the snooze :D. I know, stupid rite but at that time even 1 minute feels syok!!! So I ended up waking at 6.36am, with a classic "Shit" as good moning greet. I dashed to bath and reliazed I didn't iron my cloth. Another "Shit". All done, and left house at 7.05am instead of 6.50am. I had a feel I will miss the train, but I decided to drive to Station anyway to try my luck. I reached in station just to see the train leaving!! Shit !!!
No time to spare, I  took a long U-turn and paid a bloody RM1 toll. I made my way to KL-Seremban highway and paid a total of RM 3.80 in toll. Ching$$  Ching$$!!!

I reached just in time to reliaze that the fixed RM5 parking will be filled by now. So ya ya, Shit again!!! I parked at KLCC. $%^%&

But all turned out well, I managed to reach office at 8.15 am and got ample of time to review my materials. I had time to relax and I think I gave a good training session. Phew.

All the time, the $$ on parking was just behind my mind :(

But there was some positive thing, I managed to mingle wt my HR reps in office. I had a chance to talk to my Scheduler and also my counselee. And of course breakfast and lunch provided , $aved!!!

I went down rushing to beat the clock on my Parking. I placed a RM50 and the bloody machine only accepts RM10 noted, Shit!!!

I cant find anywhere to change and had to buy pretzels. Damage is RM3.80. Arrrrr.

I finished all my work and drove back and paid RM1.8 for toll. My dinner was really cheap, I tapau a RM3.50 noodle and at home while watching House. Perfect.
