Series of unfortunate event

Will have pictures of my trip to Alton towers up.. but first, I must talk about how unlucky my entire journey was. It's soooo soi you won't even think it's real.

First off, we missed our train at 6:35am, yeah, I know, who wakes up at that ungodly hour right to go to stoke on trent (some town) so we can catch a 8+am bus to Alton towers.. but then since we missed the early train, have to take another one half an hour later! (luckily my ticket is an open one, so no charges)

Reached stoke to realize that we're too late to catch the bus, and have to watch one and a half hour for the next bus.. so we kinda explored around straffordshire uni (I think that's what it is). The place was quite grey and I didn't like it that much.. it was dull and not vibrant lah.

ANYWAY. fast forward 1.5hours and another 1 hour bus trip later, we are at alton towers, YAY!

Ride one was okay.. but let's talk about ride 2. You know how they have two queues, one for normal riders, one for SINGLE RIDERS right? Where they fill you into spaces whenever there are odd numbered groups.

Anyway.. queued to get there for half an hour to realize that... we are slower than the normal queue lor!! Some more not moving okay! so.... RE-QUEUED.. zzzz.. spent one and a half hour queuing for one damn ride.. and not even that worth it :(

MOVING ON.... park closes at 4.. but our bus to station is postponed.. so we waited in the cold with a whole bunch of other people till.. 6. :'( and it started to RAIN.

Okay lah. After becoming frozen, we got to the station.. and missed a train by 19secs.. but then next train is like 15mins later anyway, so it's okay.

Being hiao, I went to get drinks from the vending machine lor.. and what do ya know.. the machine WON'T EAT MY MONEY.. it kept on spitting it back out.. and when it finally cough out my 7up (after multiple attempts)... I was super excited, cause I was damn thirsty.

When I open up the bottle.. the best shit in the world happened. It exploded. OKAY LAH. not exploded, but how do you say it, spray all over? Damn lucky man me, my coat kena gg. T____T

When I wanted to clean up.. I realized that the women's bathroom is ACROSS the track of the train, and there is no way I am going to climb down the track of the train WTF suicide meh?

So I had to *ahem* behpaiseh use the gents one -_- END OF MY SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENT.

You say lah, how can so many unlucky things happen to a person IN A DAY? Really murphy's law lah. SIGH.
