Gate bengong

Today started quite awful.
It's only just 8.43 a.m but I'm already impatient to wait for the day to end.
I was supposed to have a meeting with my supervisor at 8.00 a.m but I was late.
The thing that makes it so awfully stupid is that I was late not because I overslept or anything like that but it was because the gate was padlocked. Yesterday was the first day I stayed at the house (my sis n I rented a room there) and I've never had to open the gate before (it was at night when I arrived and when I arrived the gate is already opened). How in the world would I know that the padlock on the gate was a dummy and all I had to do was unlatch the bottom latch of the gate and then just push the gate gently out so that the gate would open without ever to unlock the padlock.
A dummy padlock! Bengong.
I was trying to open the padlock for ages, and each second felt nearer to the end of the world. I was so frustrated :( Thankfully my sis came and saved the day for me by showing me the right way to open the gate. By then I was ready for anything, I was even contemplating my escape Rambo-style---> either climb over the gate (plus: today I'm wearing baju kurung) or go through the trash door (you know, the little door at the gate to put out the trash). Seriously, thank God my sis came before any of that happened :p
So now I am sitting at the lab, bracing myself to face the music. I hate giving excuses, especially if the reason is so out of this world. I feel like a kid trying to explain to her teacher that my homework is abducted by aliens and that is why I can't hand it over.
Please God, make my teacher a believer of UFOs and the supernatural. Then maybe I'll be safe..
