I dont believe in destiny, cos i feel that its up to us to be in control of what we can and will achieve in the future. Some people however feel that one's destiny is pre-determined. Somehow, its too passive.
When i entered the exam hall at 9.30am, i was somehow surprised that one gal was sitting on my seat. Probably i got the seat number wrong. So i went to check. Correct leh. I told the invigilators (i am being super polite here) who expressed disbelief. We went to check together, and they were stun and dont have a clue as to what to do in this situation. They just stare blankly at each other ( "hamster" reasoned that its a bureaucratic-response). I am glad the prof came quickly and took the initiative to find out the problem. The prof wanted the gal to go back to her seat, but i felt it was too troublesome cos she was in the midst of an essay (how i know??) and her barang barang was all over the place. I suggested that i took the gal's orginal seat instead. He at first said 'no', but agreed after some thinking. I am very glad that he is flexible enough to accept this unconventional method..
After the exam, I asked the prof why this 'loop-hole' could have happened. He told me that since it was raining (heavily) and people were coming in late, they ( can the other invigilators make the decision??) only checked the identity of the students after 30 minutes ( I came in at 9.30.. or maybe its 9.29 when i went in). Okay. Its very rare something like this happened.
I was rather exasperated that the gal took my seat despite knowing where she should be sitting. Why did she bo-chap to such an extent, why didnt she consider the external costs of her action. Or is the feng-shui of my seat very good?.. Probably only she can answer it... I thought the most basic and natural thing she could do is to apologise to me through email, but she didnt...sadly...
