What a Day!

I reached Lily's house at 11.30am, sweating profusely. I was just about to press the doorbell when suddenly my mobile phone rang. I fumbled through my bag and found my mobile phone and it was Lily. I answered her call and told her that i was at her doorstep already. I was just wondering why did she make that call and the front door of hers flung open. She told me that our manicure and pedicure lesson was cancelled at the very last minute by our teacher as she was feeling not well due to the monthly thing. Actually I only felt abit upset as i already walked all the way to Lily's house from my house to attend the lesson and now only being told that the class was cancelled. But Lily was totally flared up and annoyed. I could understand why she was so angry as this was not the first time that our teacher being unprofessional. Previously, we were supposed to have our first lesson on 9th of May at her house but she told us last minute that a bride-to-be lady had requested her service on that day and asked if we could change our lesson to the next day. She said that it was okay if we still wanted to have lesson on that day as she practiced first come first basis. Well, we were not that inconsiderate to the bride-to-be, so we just agreed to change our lesson to the next day. Also, instead of having our lesson at her house as being told earlier, we ended up having the lesson at another place. I was still okay with that but Lily was feeling a little bit annoyed as she kept on changing. During our second lesson, as promised, we were going to meet her at Lily's house at 11pm for the lesson. Again, she told us last minute that she was feeling very tired as she worked for 16 hours nonstop the previous day and asking us if we could start the lesson at 12pm. We waited for her about 2 hours as she only reached at 1pm. Lily was really unhappy with that and was preparing to voice out her unhapiness but i quickly stopped her. I worried that our teacher might feel unhappy and teach us not whole-heartedly. Today, Lily couldn't hold back her anger anymore and no matter how i stopped her, she called our teacher and complained about her unprofessionalism. Well, i knew that this day would finally come and i just watched helplessly at Lily, unsured about what's going to happen next. After she hung up the phone, she told me that our teacher was apologizing and feeling very sorry. She said she would come down if we really wanted her to, but Lily rejected her as she already told us that she was having menstrual cramp. She told us that if we were to stop the course, she would refund us. After thinking for some time, we have decided to continue the course as we have already learned halfway through and it was such a waste if we were to give up now. She promised us that she would try to be professional from now onwards and we trust her this one last time. Besides that, we really didn't know what else could we do.I knew that Lily was not happy not because of her absence today but because of the unhappiness accumulated from previous experience. Now that the lesson was being cancelled, i felt like doing something crazy-ear piercing, lol...This was not the first time i get my ears pierced actually. The first time i get my ears pierced was actually at one of the jewellery shops at my hometown 7 years ago. I went to one of those shops offering ear piercing service and told the shop owner that i was going to have one pierce on each of my ear lobe.i was utterly nervous and scared when the shop owner was going to pierce my ears. He kept on reassuring me that this was not going to be very painful and asked me to relax. I thought he was quite good at reassuring the customer. Finally i managed to calm down and once the piercing was done, i felt relieved and i was really surprised that it was not really painful afterall, the shop owner didn't cheat me, lol....now i have 2 pierces on each ear :) I told my best friend that i pierced my ears and you know what he said?? "ai sui mai mia" in Hokkien which means "love pretty and don't want life" lol :p
