Student moments

I had a typical badminton training session today from 2-4pm for the upcoming Uni Games next week in Rotorua. As 4pm ticks closer, i told my friend that we should leave now (3.50pm) so we can catch the 4pm bus to town. So we did. We were about 3-4 min away from the closest bus stop when we saw the bus coming in the opposite direction heading towards the bus stop. Looking at each other, we ran.....like there was no tomorrow. My friend said while running, "It's not yet time le, why so early??" I saw another bus behind the first bus and said, "There!!! That one!!"

Running our lungs out, we..................................failed to reach the bus stop in time. So....we walked with despair to the main terminal on campus, another 5 min down to catch the next one. Along the way just past the chaplaincy, she said, "Hey, lets wait inside there la, got sofa,". I did not object.

Once inside i told her to check the bus stop to see if there was any bus left there. It's within listening distance by the way. She told me that she could hear a bus. So i told her immediately to the bus stop and we tookour bags and run for it hoping it might be the bus we thought we missed. So we ran to the bus stop and when we saw the bus making a turn coming at us, we quickly turn around and ran the other way to the initial bus stop.

So we ran.......................................the bus passed us....again....it stopped at the other stop and big big thankfully, there were people waiting there as well....we made it!

Panting and struggling for air in the bus after we sat down, she said,

"Never give up the first time you failed"

P.S. It was her fault
