There's never a dull moment when you're with Sam.

A while ago, Sam told me that she'll come back to Spore on 27th Aug to get her passport chopped. This is because she is only allowed to stay in Msia for 30 days as her work permit is still in the midst of application. Yesterday, she smsed me saying that her work permit arrived and she'll not be coming back. I half believed it. Then when I got home from work yesterday, I received an email from Aeroline notifying me of a booked trip back to Spore on 27th departing at 8am. Sam used my login id, which I had used to book the coach to KL, to book her trip back. And so I planned to surprise her back by waiting for her at Harbourfront Centre where she will alight.

Then last night, she called me to tell me that she is coming back afterall. Her confession was because I tested her by saying that I was planning to take leave today since she was coming back but I cancelled it because she said she wasn't gonna come back. To think that she already told WC to arrange to meet me for dinner tonight and not turn up in the end so that she can surprise me. This is what an old trick that has been used countless times. In the end, I told her about my plan.

Lesson learnt: Sam is not very good at surprising people and too lazy to carry out her own plan.

So, I was gonna leave my house at about 1230pm to pick her up. Then I received a phonecall from her. She told me that she was detained at the Msia custom 'cos she overstayed by one day. I was in shock. I thought she had made sure that she came back before the 30 days. She told me that she thought she can stay in Msia for 30 days and come back on the 31st day. I could tell that it was a lame excuse because which person will think that way. I knew that she made a mistake in counting the 30 days. After putting down the phone with her, I thought that she was trying to surprise me. Her last futile attempt. However, I didn't think that she will kid about such issues. So I called up Aeroline to check if they had a passenger detained, then they confirmed it and I hurriedly called up Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get some help. In the end, Sam paid a fine of 100rm and she took the next Aeroline bus to Harbourfront.

Lesson learnt: Sam cannot count from 1 to 30 because she only has 10 fingers and 10 toes. Either that or Sam's level of intelligence has dropped to the level of Msians.

Perhaps like what WC said when he called me to arrange dinner and I told him about the whole thing, I quote him "well, Sam wu3 xim1 la but no brains."
