Yesterday it was National Day. I was supposed to order tickets for "City of God" and I did. I ordered four. When MS smsed me who were going, I was about to reply four when I counted five fingers. Horrified, I went to the website hoping that I could order one more but it was too late. I tried ordering via the hotline but there were no more tickets available. I couldn't believe I made such a mistake. You only hear of these in jokes like how the pig forgot to count himself in when counting the number of pigs.

MS didn't go in the end. He said he was tired and wanted to stay home to rest instead. I promise not to make silly mistakes like this again.

Anyway, I watched the NDP on tv before setting off. Can anyone tell me why the armed forces have to stand at attention while the school kids sang and pranced around? It looks weird. I was also amused when the ministers waved their flags like children, struck the two wooden spoon-like things together and peered at the stuff in the goodie bags with excitement. Sometimes we forget that they are just like us too.
