The $10 note

Hello Everyone,


     I haven't been on Blogger for a long time. My blog has died. Vivian's blog is dying. I'm too scared to even look at Ning's.


     So first thing I did was go back and read all the posts I missed. Please people, get over porn. There is better stuff in the world. Like lollipops and ninjas. Next, stop looking for topics. Let them come.


     Having said that, Kripa, when have you been on my bed? The only times you've been to my house, we either sat at the computer, on the sofa or danced around in my room. Then again, I have horrible memory. But I still refuse to believe you've been on my bed. It's like a thing for me. No person from my school has been on my bed before. But they're very hygienic, I must say. I'd rather share a bed than a brush. Tooth or hair.


     Anyway, today, after spending the entire bus trip playing clapping games (like we used to in kindergarten), I missed my second bus just by a moment. So I decided that I might as well go to the shops until the next one came.


     Tired of buying chewing gum, instead of going to the News Agency like I usually do, I went to Coles. I got two bottles of Coke (that I never intended on drinking - knowing how high I get) because they were on special. Then, because the lines for the counter were pretty big, I decided to go to self serve instead.


     I have to admit, I was a little nervous. This was my first time self serving! So I scanned the two bottles (the little beeps made me so excited. I could do it over and over...) and then it told me to insert my cash. It took about three minutes for me to find the hole, but I eventually did, and put it in. Ten minutes later, I'm staring at the machine, that refused to give me my change of $13.50.


     I got my $10, and was waiting for the coins. I asked an assistant, "Is this supposed to happen?" She did some scanning and beeping things, then said, "Ah... the coins are jammed." I was a bit worried about missing my next bus, but I decided to wait for the change. Asian as I am.


     Another 10 minutes later, after actually opening the whole machine and fixing some things, I only got twenty cents. Let me tell you, the inside doesn't actually look that cool. You can't see all the coins or anything. They're on some rolling thing inside a metal thing. I could hear them rolling around as the assistant moved her hand around inside.


     Anyway, she finally gave up (it never worked) and went to a counter and get me money. She gave me a $10 note and $3.50 in coins. I told her, I already had the $10 change, so I refused to take it and left before I could regret not just taking the money and gaining $3.50 profit for two bottles of Coke. So much for being Asian.


     I had to run to get my second bus on time, but I got it. And on the way home, I completely forgot about that $10 note I could have gained. And now, sitting at my computer and drinking the Coke I swore I wouldn't drink... I want that $10 note...


That's it guys. Thanks for reading!
