Late
Which type of people do you belong to - the always punctual type or the type who is late for all appointments?
It
is not easy being punctual. You are either early or late. You are able
to arrive on the dot because you are early to make sure you are
punctual. I belong to this type. I can still remember how 11 years ago I
was one hour early for an interview in Sheng Wan to make sure I would
be punctual. Of course, I did not barge in the interview room an hour
early. I had coffee in a nearby cafe for one whole hour.
On the
other hand, there are people who are always late. They are so late that
you begin to think you are waiting at the wrong place or you have got
the time wrong. When they do arrive, they have all kinds of seemingly
good reasons. But if they are habitually late, you can only choose to
either tolerate or never to meet them again. Once you have got used to
allowing them, they start to take you for granted. You become so numb
that you bring a book with you to kill time. These days, you are lucky.
You have Candy Crush to keep you amused or frustrated depending on
whether you can clear the level.
