Monday Blues

I wondered why everythings seem to go wrong on Monday?? When we were preparing to get to school this morning, we got stuck outside the lift! The eletricity is down... the whole building went into total darkness! With no choice, we had to take the stairs.. without any lighting, the stairways were cold and dark. I could hear footsteps as I held Matthew's hand tightly. We could bearly see anything. Thank God, someone came her way down and was holding onto her cellphone with some light... that was the only beam of light that have helped us all the way down 4 floors. After dropping Matthew off... I thought the light would be back... TO my dismay, it hasn't! I had to walked all the way up again.. and this time really in total darkness and alone! Someone quoted me this verse Proverbs 3:6: In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths ... and truely, when we were in darkness, He will direct out path only if we are willing!

After walking in darkness in the morning, I had a little accident in the afternoon! As usual, Matthew came back for lunch... after dropping him off at school, I drove back home. When I entered the car park, there was a lady walking toward the main gate... didn't pay much attention to her, I drove pass. A few seconds later, as I was driving into the garage, a car knocked into my car's door as he was reversing! (he was reversing and I was driving pass) Oh, i can tell you .. my heart had stopped for a while, it was such a loud bang! I stopped the car immediately to check...that man got down too... and came that lady too, who was standing at the main gate). They were checking and trying to rub off the paint/the BIG LONG scatch! Feeling shocked, I don't know how to react, after some communication in French, they just walked off after seeing that it's not a big deal! (it's very common to have dents and scatches here) But still NOT even a single Word of apologetic gesture from neither one... feeling so pissed with how the people handle things here, I was pretty upset!! I mean I won't say that I'm totally right but since he was reversing out of his garage, he should at least look out for traffic. I won't be able to see him as it's an enclosed garage. That lady, instead of waiting at the front gate should have helped him to look out.. it's just a few steps.. But I guess they didn't really bother! That's how the ppl here impressed me about themselves that "they can't be bottered... don't have/want sense of responsibililty... very inefficient ... some know and can talk a lot but no action!" *sigh*

Is it a good place to live???
