A Problem I Encountered and How I Solved It


Hello people. Faaiz here again. Today has been a really tiring day for me, not only because of the ton of homework my Math teacher gave the class for today.

Here is how my problem began. Before going home after school, I checked my neighbourhood shopping mall, Hougang Mall to see if they had any cheap gaming accessories for sale. So, I went to the gaming shop on the third floor. After asking the shopkeeper if he had what I wanted, it turns out the shop did have what I wanted. For a reasonable sum of fifteen dollars, too! Even so, I did not have enough money with me at that moment. So, I went home first to have my lunch. One hour later, at half past four, I left for Hougang Mall on my bicycle. When I arrived, I parked my bike beside a tree. I went up to the third floor, bought what I wanted and ran home happily.

Yes, as some of you may have realised, I RAN home, not RIDE A BIKE home. That was the problem. In the midst of my happiness, I forgot all about my bike! It was only when I arrived in front of the elevator of my flat that I thought to myself, "Wait, didn't I ride a bike to - Oh faeces."

I had to run all the way back to where I parked my bike. By the time I reached my bike, I was so tired that I had to push my bicycle back home. I should really try to remember things, or I'll keep on having to do unnecessary things.
