Disappointment

I can't send my grandmother off on her final journey on 14 December Tuesday.
I have tried to book a return flight to Taipei, departing on 13 December Monday and returning on 15 December Wednesday. However, as it is the holiday period and festive season, all flights and all classes are fully booked. For some airlines, the wait list are closed too. I managed to be placed on the wait list for SIA but the agent forewarned me that it is extremely unlikely that I would be able to get my flights confirmed.
After 24 hours of waiting and monitoring, it is confirmed that I won't be able to attend my grandmother's funeral in Taipei. :(

Disappointments

Disappointment 1
I thought my new notebook would be ready for me to use when I stepped into the office today. As such, I didn't think I would need to bring in my netbook or my personal notebook to work. What a disappointment it was when I realised that nothing was installed on my new Fujitsu notebook and I would have to wait for my new notebook to be "cloned" and the various installations installed. Sigh. :(

Disappointment 2
I realised I would have to cancel the lunch appointment this Friday with my SCGS classmates. Due to an unexpected situation at work, I won't be able to take leave to join them for lunch. It's the second lunch appointment with them that I have missed. I hope they will understand and won't get upset with me. Sigh. :(

Expectation and Disappointment

Being a psychology grad and dabbing some bits into statistics, I should have known this a long time ago. Yet I still fell for it.

Expectation and disappointment are positively correlated. The higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Sigh.
